Pralines II

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2009
I was in the mood for pralines and decided upon this recipe. I am just learning how to make candies and this turned out wonderful! It was so smooth and melt in your mouth delicious. Very sweet of course too. I have a gas stove so I started off with low heat like the recipe said and kept it there for the whole recipe - basically from fear that it'd burn and not turn out well if I turned up the heat (like I said, not an experienced candy maker yet) It sure took a while to get to 240F like this but the end result was worth it. I will definitely make this recipe again, daring to venture into turning up the heat next time as the recipe states. I also toasted my pecans. Thanks so much for sharing!

Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2009
Very good!! Just finished making this. I wish I had used less than 1/2 of one packet of chicken bouillon seasoning, it came out a bit salty. I also used heavy cream, a can of tomatoes with green chilies, 2 small stalks of celery, frozen corn instead of cream corn, 2 slices of American cheese sandwich slices, and two small diced up potatoes. A very tasty recipe, and a very forgiving one if you do not have all or the exact ingredients. Next time, I will use less chicken bouillon. If you have small kiddies, test the spicey-ness before throwing items in i.e. hot pepper sauce, green chilies, etc!! Recommend!!

The best rolled fondant I have used. Just be careful in dry weathers.

Chicken Enchiladas V

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009
Yum!! I doubled the soup and sour cream as suggested by many and used chipotle taco seasoning instead of chili powder to season the chicken which I shredded after boiling for about 1 1/2 hrs. Will make again. Thanks!

Pico De Gallo

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009
Avocado (aguacate) does NOT go in pico de gallo. Of course, people can do whatever they want with a recipe. Add chocolate if you want, it won't be authentic but if you are into it... go ahead. Lime, however, DOES go. Garlic ... I rather press a garlic clove into the pico de gallo than using garlic powder. Green onion ... again, not authentic but I don't see why I'd hurt anything. This recipe is good but it is missing the lime and I always skip the salt for health reasons. It really doesn't need it anyways.

Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009
I pre-marinated my shrimp in a simple mixture of black pepper and cayenne pepper, then wrapped them (but I did not use whole bacon strips, only half strip per shrimp) and grilled on my George Foreman. They turned out delicious! I dipped in a mixture of ketchup, honey and pepper sauce and served with fried rice. Next time I'm going to just eat these as an appetizer because they were so good I almost forgot about the rice! Thanks for an absolutely delicious recipe.

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009
Make it a coffee cake! This has been my stand-by for muffins for a while now and everyone just LOVES it! Today I made a double batch in a 9X13 pyrex pan with a single batch of topping. I baked it for 40 minutes total (15 without topping and 25 with topping). It turned out perfectly! For a double batch I always use 2 cups white and 1 cup whole wheat flour. I use 3/4 cup white sugar and 3/4 cup brown sugar and I use brown sugar for the topping. Used Pam for Baking on the pan and it slid out beautifully when cooled. I say give it a try!

Best Toffee Ever - Super Easy

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2009
I cut the recipe down to make less servings because I wanted to do a "test batch" and I am glad I did this. Like other reviewers I had butter pooled at the top which I had to pour off. I didn't read the reviews the first time but came back and made a 2nd test batch and still got butter at the top which I had to pour off - again. I was not pleased with this result at all. The end result did harden up and tasted good but while chewing on this toffee it melts but also leaves a hard bit of toffee in your mouth at the end. Also I have a major sweet tooth and after eating a piece of this, even I felt it was a bit too sugary but the good part was it still kept calling me back for more anyway. I will try a different recipe cause I just don't like this pool of butter at the top.

Peanut Butter Bites by BHG.com

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
I linked this recipe from BHG.com and made a test run of them to add to my Christmas cookie tray this year. They are absolutely delicious! I stored mine in an airtight container and stored at room temperature. The cookie is light with a fragrant peanut butter aroma and we all know chocolate and peanut butter is a heavenly combination. I made homemade mini pb cups using the filling from Spooky Halloween Eyeballs (recipe on this site) but using milk chocolate. Awesome!

Baked Zucchini Chips

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2009
The breadcrumb mix can use some more seasoning... like garlic powder and onion powder...maybe more parmesan. These are good though. I like that they are baked and not fried but still taste nice and crunchy. I served them with a garlicky mayoketchup dip that is very popular in PR (basically equal parts of mayo and ketchup with a pressed garlic clove or garlic powder mixed in).

Tomato Chicken Parmesan

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2009
Stupid me thought that I had parmesan in the fridge and guess what... I had used it all. SO...lazy me didn't go to the store and just skipped the parmesan. Yep, chicken parmesan WITHOUT the parmesan. A sin. Forgive me. Instead of Monterey I used shredded mozarella. I pounded the chicken thin and added twice as much sauce because we LOVE sauce. Served it with spagetti ... Yum Yum. It turned out pretty awesome. Of course, with parmesan (like it is supposed to be) would be even better. Quick, easy and flavorful = I'm happy.

Easy Tuna Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2009
5 stars for simplicity and I liked the idea of using french fried onions since I was out of bread crumbs. Alterations: I had no cheese but I did have two boxes of mac-n-cheese. Added some chives, celery, pepper, and parsley. That was it. Thank you, because my boys who are 6 and 4 years in age give me daily grief when it comes to meals, they hate this!! ;)

Spooky Halloween Eyeballs

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2009
First off, I love this idea. Very creative. I did not make eyeballs though - I made mini pb cups. The only reason I tried this recipe is because I saw some reviews say they taste exactly like the store bought PB cups and boy, they were right! I almost couldn't believe it. Since I ran out of chocolate along the way I just stuck the rest in a lined pan and stuck it in the freezer to cut into squares later on. Delicious, but the mixture sure does soften quickly after it exits a cold environment. Either way, I enjoyed these. Made the cups to make some cookies and they turned out fabulous. Thanks for sharing.

Chocolate Truffles With Liqueur - 17701 - RecipeZaar

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009
MMM...my favourite truffle recipe. So creamy and delicious. The liqueur flavour is very prominent when you first make it but after it sits overnight it really melds nicely. I rolled my truffles in finely grated milk chocolate and it was very good like that! I used Irish Creme Liqueur in mine.

Garlic Shrimp Pasta - 121066 - Recipezaar

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009
I love this dish! I couldn't believe how flavourful and delicious it was for something so simple. I like to use the black pepper and red pepper flakes for my seasoning because it suits my personal taste. Very quick and easy recipe for lunch or dinner.

Cookies 'n Cream Ice Cream - 126436 - Recipezaar

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009
Very rich and delicious custard based ice cream. This recipe actually reminds me of Bluebell's Cookies 'n Cream flavour - which I absolutely love btw! So it was great finding a recipe which seemed so close to it yet just surpassed it a little (must be because it's homemade) I like lots of cookie chunks in my ice cream so I add in extra. Very delicious, creamy, mmm.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cream Cheese Bars - 178756 - Recipezaar

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009
I absolutely love this recipe. Heavenly! I used the cookie recipe which I added in the notes section but I make sure it's chilled first so I can break it apart like the recipe says to do with the store bought dough. Got to try it! So delicious!

Moose Tracks Ice Cream Recipe - Domestic Pursuits

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009
I made this recipe using all full fat ingredients, 1 egg to replace 1/4 cup egg beaters and Nestle Condensed Milk (I find some other brands of condensed milk aren't as sweet) Instead of buying peanut butter cups I made my own using Peanut Butter Bars I from this site and cutting them into small chunks. I also omitted the chocolate chunks and used a homemade chocolate fudge for a more soft consistency rather than biting into hard chunks of chocolate in my ice cream. This recipe is awesome! So good! Yum! Oh P.S. I've never had store-bought Moose Track Ice Cream before so can't compare the recipe with it.

Homestyle Potato Chips

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2009
Great! I don't like them too crispy so I cut them with a regular kitchen knife rather than a mandolin or the food processor blade. I reserve the salt for right after frying and I use sea salt. Delicious!
