Orange Glazed Carrots

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009

I found the carrots to be too bland tasting and had too much liquid left over. I think there needs to be a little bit more flavor and possibly a thicker sauce. I will make a few changes and try again.

Spanish Rice

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009

I will try this recipe again, because I think the mistake was my fault and not the recipe. I found the rice too mushy, but I had it ready about 20 minutes before the rest of the meal was done. Flavor was good, just too mushy for me.

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009

I added the vanilla & spice as others suggested. 2 of my 3 bananas were un-usable, so I substituted a melted all-natural, frozen strawberry bar. And I forgot to add the flour to the topping. And they turned out fantastic! These turned my terrible day into terrific!

Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009

excellent recipe and very versatile. A lot of pound cakes do not have any baking powder and I prefer this one with a little. Definitely use butter (absolutely no substitutes) and beat well and noone should have a problem. Thanks for a great submission.

Unbelievably Yummy Chicken Casserole

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2009

really really good! My kids hate cassaroles as a rule but they loved this. Like many others I changed the whipped topping & added 1/2 cup mayo & 1/2 cup sour cream instead. Also, I added a package of stuffing mix (made up) as a topping.Made Sept 09

Glendora's Chocolate Fudge Pudding (Cake)

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2009

This is a nice pudding cake and better eaten hot with ice cream. For reviewers that complained about it being runny that is the way it is supposed to be: cake on top and a sauce on the bottom. Do not try to put on a plate - just spoon it out of the dish.

Orange Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2009

After reading the other reviews, I made a few changes. I doubled the orange marmalade, and also used olive oil instead of butter. While there still wasn't a strong orange flavour, it was detectable and a very tasty pork meal. A definite make again.

Mushroom, Cheese, and Haddock Bake

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009

This is a very good recipe for haddock - I used crimini mushrooms, omitted the dried chili peppers and substituted cheddar cheese for the blend suggested in the recipe. If you use fresh fillets, they'll be cooked after the first 15 minutes, so I broiled the cheese after the initial cooking time and that worked like a charm. The reason for the 4 stars - having access to fresh haddock all year around, I have other recipes that are just awesome. This one is great for a quick week-day meal.

Grandma's Butterscotch Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2009

Tasted great. Made it for mother in law for her birthday (her fav). Never had it before, or even had seen one, but made it no problem. The only issue I had was I dont have an 'offical double boiler' I just use a pot of boiling waer with a glass pyrex bowl on top (have used this method for dozens of other double boiler instructions and had no problems). We after stirring forever, I couldnt get it to thicken even before I added my egg. I took it off the double boiler and poured it all in a pot and put it right on the burner. It thickened almost instantly, almost too quick had I not been right there. It turned out perfect. I just couldnt see it even getting hot enough the thicken with the double bolier. TASTED GREAT! Moter in laws eyes bugged out of her head she was so excited!

Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins

Fantastic! I made the recipe as written and they are soo good! My 3 year old, very picky son loves these muffins! Having read the reviews that said the muffins don't stay fresh, I stored these in the fridge and reheated them in the microwave... fantastic!
