Cheese Garlic Biscuits II

Reviewed: Aug. 6, 2007

These biscuits are awesome. I used 1 1/2 cups of cheese, and added a bit of baking soda with a little more baking powder than called for. since i didn't want them to look flat. the first batch i made came out good/very good. i got busy doing something, so after 2 hours of the dough sitting there, i came back and finished baking them. now these after sitting for a while came out PERFECT!!! the look of them was beautiful, like a smooth biscuit. not rocky looking like the first batch. You must try them. u'll love them. my whoole family was amazed.

Oven-Roasted Potatoes

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2007

Good and simple - to jumpstart things after I cut them up I threw them in the microwave a few minutes before I cooked them. I too added garlic salt and if I wasn't feeding my kids I would've added a dash of cayenne!

Shrimp and Crab Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2007

Unfortunately this recipe gets an ugh... The mayonnaise really over powers the whole recipe, and it feels like a mish mash of things. Sorry, wouldn't try it again nor recommend it.

Portobello Mushroom Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2006

Portobello mushrooms are hard to find where we live so when I ran across them I thought I'd try something new! So.. this soup was what I did. I have one word... BLECH! It was not even edible. My son asked me why the soup tasted like "bathwater!" and he wasn't being rude - he was just asking like any 4 year old. Honestly, I'm not a negative reviewer, but I felt I needed to warn others...

Best Brownies

Reviewed: Aug. 12, 2006

I absolutely loved these brownies. They are the BEST i've ever had. So chewy and moist. I used them in the chocolate trifle recipe from this website, and it was delicious. As for the frosting...What happened to it? Mine was a crumbled mixture, not creamy AT ALL. So what i did was i added 1/2 cup of cream cheese, and it was PERFECT. If you love chocolate, you have to try this. Definately make again.

Chocolate Trifle

Reviewed: Aug. 12, 2006

This recipe is soooo delicious. I loved it and my husband made sure he let's me know that he loved it just as much as i did. I used the BEST BROWNIES recipe from this site, and didn't have any condensed milk, nor do they have instant chocolate pudding where i am. So i used regular ready made chocolate pudding (dark) and chocolate cookie pudding (light). I layered it this way. 1. brownies. 2. dark pudding 3.light pudding. 4. dark pudding. 5 brownies. 6 whipped cream. 7. chocolate chip morsels. This is definately a keeper. I love the idea. Next time i will try it with fresh strawberries somewhere in between.

Pizza Dough II

Reviewed: Jul. 31, 2006

This Pizza Dough is excellent, i was so suprised! I couldn't believe i made it... Hubby and kids loved it!!! No need to buy frozen pizza crust anymore. I didn't have wheat flour nor bread flour, and just used all purpose flour, and like suggested by other members, i seasoned the dough. Like i said, it was excellent even like this...5 Stars

Eggplant and Pepper Parmesan Sandwiches

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2006

DEFINITE DO-OVER!!! I had to make a few changes because I couldn't get some of the ingredients but it was FABULOUS! Instead of a baguette I used a larger softer bakery bread which worked beautifully. (I sometimes find the baguettes too hard anyway) For the goat cheese I had to substitute feta which I mixed with a bit of plain yougurt to make it more spreadable. Next I added a layer of thinly sliced salami to bump up the protein for my kids, put the tapenade on next... then the grilled veggies and last I put slices of gouda because with the little ones I knew the parmesan would be a disaster. I also put it under the broiler to melt the cheese. I know I changed the recipe a little, but nothing that comprimised it too much in my oppinion. *ALSO* While the veggies were under the broiler, I started the tapenade in the food processor and it zipped together! This was a great lunch for all of us! (parents, 3yr. old & 1.5 yr. old)

Basic Flaky Pie Crust

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2006

Great recipe!! It was my first time making it and it turned out fabulous for my quiche. I used whole wheat flour and all purpose for a healthier approach. Also, I used butter instead of shortening because that's what I had at hand.

Mandarin Orange, Gorgonzola and Almond Delight

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2006

I really liked the salad, but I found the dressing to be a bit bland,it felt too runny and just not anything too great. So, I did tweak it a bit by increasing the oil to 1/3 cup oil, adding the 2 TBS of red wine vinegar, 4 TBS of orange juice, 2 TBS orange marmalade, 2 TBS sugar, pepper & salt. I found the orange marmalade to be the kick that it needed! I also added slices of red onion and real mandarin orange slices instead of the canned stuff. I know - I know... I changed it all around, but it *really* made a difference! It went over really well and everyone raved!

White Fish Provencal

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2005

Absolutely fabulous, light and delicious. I made it for my husband and his cousin (who are not fish lovers) and they even had seconds. It reminds me of a seafood dish made at a local Italian restaurant but they don't have olives in it. The minor adjustment I made to the recipe was salt the sauce.

Bananas Foster II

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2005

This has always been one of my favorite "up my sleeve" recipes when I'm in a bind for a quick dessert that needs to impress. I serve it over icecream in wine glasses. The only thing I do differently is after I cook it over the stove for a few minutes, I add the bananas and pour it into a baking dish and put it under the broiler to give it a nice browning. Then add a dollop of whipped cream too! It tastes like it took forever, but goes together in a flash!

N'Awlins Stuffed Bell Peppers

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2005

Made this tonight and have to say it was *much* better than the run of the mill hamburger/tomato mixture. I did change a few things though: I added extra celery, 3 TBS of garlic(the kind from the jar), 4 tsp of creole seasoning and instead of the stuffing I added cooked rice in chicken broth - prior to cooking it was 2 cups) Then I added almost a cup of water so it wouldn't be too dry and 4 eggs for a binder ---- it was so YUM! It was a definite do-over!

Playgroup Granola Bars

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2005

I submitted this recipe, but wanted to add a note. Yesterday we made them again and we tripled the recipe using 2 cups of wheat flour and only one cup (total) of oil and they turned out great. They were a little more crumbly than they would be if I'd added more oil, but they really turned out great! If you triple the recipe - use 2 cookie trays and then use after pressing it into the pan (which little kids can do to help!) you can use a rolling pin to flatten them out nicely. Hope you all like the recipe! Like I said - we can't keep them around! At least they are a somewhat healthy snack for little guys!

Angel Hair Pasta with Garlic Shrimp and Broccoli

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2005

This was a fabulous and EASY recipe! To make it quicker I did some of the prep work earlier in the afternoon... like the broccoli. I steamed it and put it in the fridge until needed. The only thing I would suggest is to NOT toss the broccoli and shrimp with the pasta, but to serve it over the pasta and then add the sauce. I think it would be a prettier presentation. Also - we live overseas and can't get pesto so I just added a TBS of dried basil instead and it still turned out GREAT! Definitely a do-over for me!

Apple Crumble Tart

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2005

Loved this recipe! It was super easy using the puff pastry too! The only thing I did differently was to omit the egg yolks in the sauce - maybe next time I'll be braver about that! (I had to thicken it up a little with 1/2 tsp. cornstarch)I also poured the wine sauce directly over the tart and I think I'd prefer to do that individually next time as it made it a little soupy. Maybe if I hadn't left out the egg yolks it would've been fine? It was still a GREAT recipe and next time I'll add a little oatmeal to crunch it up as well.
