Pineapple Upside-Down Cake II

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
There was way too much butter in the topping and my cake came out greasy. Next time I make this cake I will definately cut the amount of butter in half.

Good Ol' Alabama Sweet Tea

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
My husband is very appreciative of this recipe. He is from Georgia and loves his sweet tea. I, on the other hand, put almost no sugar in my iced tea... So he asked me to make this for him. I did a half-batch as I don't have a huge pitcher, and I used 3/4 cup sugar instead of a cup. At first he said it wasn't sweet enough, but after it sat in the fridge for an hour or two, he said it was much better. I tried it... and almost went into sugar-shock. And I love my sweets! Well, he can enjoy it, and I'll enjoy my hot tea. :) Thanks for sharing, LoveCats2001!

Chicken 'n' Biscuits

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
Great! I wanted to do something stew-like for my family, and this was a good choice. I took liberties with the veggies (I used some frozen peas and broccoli, and I used diced fresh carrots) and I used a pound of chicken that I cooked on the stovetop in a little oil and then cubed. I forgot the Parmesan cheese and I omitted the parsley. It was really tasty! I added a little chicken bouillon to the sauce as it needed salt, and to save on dishes I prepared and baked it in a large oven-safe pot. Even better the next day! Thanks for sharing, Marilyn!

Pie Crust IV

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
Very good. I usually use a different recipe, and I usually use lard. While lard makes for a lighter, flakier pastry, the flavour of lard is usually kind of gamy. I might do a half-lard, half-shortening blend next time, but it was a very good crust for our pumpkin pie. Thanks for sharing, Jan!

Milk Chocolate Pecan Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2009
I thought the chocolate would melt and spread across the crust but instead it stayed in chip form. It was not that appealing to me or my hubby. I will look for another chocolate pecan pie recipe.

Bacon Wrapped Dates Stuffed with Blue Cheese

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2009
Fantastic! I made these for a potluck today and they went fast! I made 1/2 with blue cheese and 1/2 with goat cheese - and both were loved! Thank you! Oh! And my husband (aka Mr "I'll die before I let a nasty date pass my lips") was woofing them down last night before he had any idea what they were!!

Peking Duck

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009
I have never made peking duck; however i tried it when friends and family came over (guinea pigs). I didn't have a steamer but I had a roasting pan with holes on top as well as a rack that went with it on top. I poked holes in the duck with the fork after I had it sit with the spice marinade overnight. I did place green onions and a chopped garlic clove in the cavity. I placed water in the bottom of the pan and cooked with foil cover at 375 degrees in convection oven for an hour. I drained the fat and then placed it back on the rack with foil. At this point I basted it with the soy/honey every half hour. (still returned foil on top) I tried to turn up to 475 but smoking and too hot. Turned it down to 400 and continued cooking, basting with the sauce every 20 minutes. It did get a bit darker and not too fatty. I turned on broiler for about 5-10 minutes to make skin crispier. Delicious. Friend who doesn't like duck and had tried peking duck before truly enjoyed it. I doubled the sauce recipe but used plum sauce instead of jam and used mango chutney (did chop up the bigger chunks). Delicious. First time making duck. Definitely a hit. Will make again. Took approximately 2 1/2 hours to cook.

Bread and Celery Stuffing

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009
Amazing. My first attempt at from-scratch stuffing and I will never go back to the boxed stuff. I used a loaf of homemade wheat bread that I had in the freezer (it was 1½ pounds) and followed the rest of the recipe, and I added around 1/3 cup chopped walnuts. I baked it in a 9x13 pan and it fit perfectly. My stuffing came out a little crispy on top, but that's my fault. I meant to add a little broth as it was cooking. It was so excellent! Thanks for sharing, Carlota!

Slow Cooker Turkey Breast

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009
I followed the recipe (although my turkey breast was around 8 pounds) with the addition of maybe 1/4 cup chicken broth in the bottom of the slow cooker. I cooked it on high for around three hours and then on low for around four hours. The gravy that the broth and juices made was lovely, but the turkey had a funky flavour to it. I'm not sure if the slow cooker sort of intensified the turkey taste (in the same way that we don't like the flavour of ground turkey) or what, but it was off-putting... It may have been our turkey, though it's a well-known brand I've purchased before without problem. I don't think I'll do it again with turkey, but definitely with a chicken! Thanks for sharing, Ms. Sally!

Bow Ties with Sausage, Tomatoes and Cream

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009
We really enjoyed this! A definite 'do over'. Might go less on the cream as it took a while to reduce. Also, it is very rich so it is not something we would have very often. I tasted before adding the cream and it would be good that way on the pasta as well! First time I've made a real cream sauce and this is restaurant quality that I can do at home.

Gingerbread Waffles with Hot Chocolate Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009
I didn't like these at all. I love the taste of gingerbread normally but these were too heavy with the taste of molasses. The batter was heavy too. I could barely finish one because of the heaviness and sweetness, I can only imagine what they'd be like with the chocolate sauce.

Zucchini Brownies

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009
The brownies were easy to make and turned out okay but I think it was my problem rather than the recipes problem (was doing too many things at one time and made the brownies very distractedly). The family liked them and I found they were quite moist. We ate them warm with some ice cream - yum!

Hawaiian Banana Nut Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2009
This is a great recipe from the traditional banana bread. I doubled this recipe, cut the sugar in half and added more pineapple. Awesome....this goes from the freezer to the plate in no time and guest don't know you didn't bake it that day. I make this over and over.

Simple and classic. You may want to add a bit of milk as needed to make putting though your cookie press easier. Good workout for the arms and hands though!

Paprika Chicken with Sour Cream Gravy

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2009
It was fine - my family liked it more than I. It was a little blah for me but they enjoyed it and said they would eat it again. Also, it made a lot of gravy - more than was needed.
