Asian Orange Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2010
Wow, this was really easy and really good. I was a little loose with the recipe: not enough lemon juice in the house, so I finished the 1/4 cup with OJ; regular white vinegar instead of rice vinegar; regular onion instead of green onion; white sugar instead of brown; a little more fresh ginger than it called for. Usually I like to try a recipe exactly as it is, but I had to use what was in the house. Also, a previous reviewer mentioned using slices of orange peel instead of just the zest, so I did that and it came out great. This is a keeper, and next time I would like to add broccoli, as suggested by another reviewer, or maybe bamboo shoots, steamed carrots, or the baby corn.

All Day Apple Butter

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2010
I've never had apple butter before so I don't have anything to compare this to. Nevertheless, it seems to have turned out very well. I cut the recipe in half and only used 3/4 cup of sugar and it's still sweet enough. (We have really tasty apples around here.) Also, I don't have a slow cooker so I just left the whole thing on the electric stove in a non-stick pot; it worked perfectly. I'm sure I'll make this again, thank you very much!

Olive Chicken I

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2010
It is an excellent recipe, but that is a LOT of olives. I used a 10 oz bottle of green Spanish olives for a 5 lb chicken and it was still too much. Since my chicken was double the size, I doubled the water and that was too much. I salvaged the dish by using the remaining liquid (after the chicken finished stewing) to cook up couscous.

Herb Roasted Pork

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2010
I used half the sugar since most reviews said it was too sweet, and used brown sugar for the extra flavor. Definitely double the glaze. I also used red wine vinegar, although balsamic would be good as well, and sprinkled some cayenne over the meat before baking.

These are so easy to make and turn out great! I used blueberry jam which I think made it perfect.

Ham Broccoli Braid

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2009
very easy and fairly quick to make. As other reviewers suggested, I used only 1 Tbsp mustard (used brown mustard since I didn't have dijon) and 1/2 cup sour cream. I didn't have any parsley on hand either, so I just left it out. One can of crescent roll dough made a fairly large braid, especially for two people, so I froze the the leftover mix for later use :) husband gave it a thumbs up!

Beef Barley Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2009
I absolutely loved this soup. The beef was fall-apart, melt-in-your mouth tender. The flavor was excellent. I had hoped to make this last a week, but my husband and I inhaled it in two days. I followed the advice of other reviewers and put all the ingredients (except the barley) together and cooked for 8-10 hours on low and tossed in the barley in the last 15-20 minutes. DELICIOUS!

Corn Dogs

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2009
Great recipe! Tried it today and it was perfect! I dried the hot dogs with paper towel while the batter was in the freezer chilling (it only took a few minutes). It stuck to the dogs without any problems and it stayed on perfectly during frying (I didn't coat them in flour or corn starch like other reviewers suggested). The corn dogs looked and tasted super yummy. My family gobbled the whole batch up within minutes. Thank you for posting this recipe!

Pecan Sandies

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2009
I follwed the recipe (almost) exactly and they turned out perfectly. Rather than rolling these in sugar I just sprinked them with sugar after they were on the baking sheet. It gave them a nice shiny finish but I will probably forego it the next time since the extra sugar probably adds little to the taste.

Instant Yeast Rolls

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009
I don't understand why the dough wouldn't rise. It's basically a pizza dough (if you take it easy on the sugar) After trying to get the dough to rise in a warm spot for 30mins, I knew I would end up with flat biscuits. I rolled all the dough out at once, folded it in half 2x and baked them. They were the hit of the evening. Next time, I would put the butter tabs in between layers of dough since the butter melted right off and stunk up the kitchen.

Grandma's Green Bean Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
I liked this...but next time I'll saute the onions in the butter for just a few minutes and then add them to the beans because raw onion (this is just my opinion) does not make for very good breath. Otherwise, I will follow the recipe exactly because it was much better than opening a can of soup and dumping it in...

Cranberry Stuffed Turkey Breasts

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
I made this for Thanksgiving. I have to say that I didn't follow the recipe exactly, just used the stuffing and omitted the cranberries and nuts (because there was a diabetic eating with us and I didn't want to shock his system...) Nevertheless, butterflying the turkey breast was a challange but ultimately it worked out perfectly. I followed the cooking directions exactly and the turkey wasn't dry. I basted often and added a dry white wine to the oil which was a nice touch. I will surely make it again and the cranberries are worth a try.

I loved this recipe even though I only used it for proportions. Skipped frozen vegetables and substituted sauteed mushrooms and onions plus fresh thyme.

Overnight Blueberry French Toast

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009
Excellent, excellent and excellent. I followed the recipe to the T, except I reduced cream cheese to 12 oz and it was still little too much. Next time I will use 8 oz only. The blueberry sauce was delicious too. I did not double it, it was just perfect amount as recipe says. I will be making this again at Christmas time.
