Real N'awlins Muffuletta

Definitely a keeper! I didn't have all the ingredients such as onions and celery salt but even without these ingredients, it was excellent. Even my husband said that the Olive Salad made a plain sub sandwich taste extraordinary.

Blackened Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2005
Truely a five star!!! And you don't have to use a cast iron skillet...let me tell you how. First I doubled the spices. Then, I had two huge skinless boneless chicken breasts from our local market so I sliced them in half and then cut them lengthwise so they wouldn't be so thick. I took a smaller casserole dish and drizzeled evoo on the bottom. I coated the chicken breasts on both sides w/the spices and placed them in the dish. I put diced onions on top, covered the dish and baked at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Then I flipped them, drizzeled some more evoo on top, took the cover off and cooked for another 20 minutes, using a meat thermomitor to make sure they were done. Excellent!!! My husband hates chicken and hates even more breast meat, but he absolutly loved this! It had quite the kick and I searved w/rice and corn. Enjoy!!

Pork Chops in Beer

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2005
Holy Cow! Very good. Didn't give it five stars because, well, after all..it's only pork. ; ) Anyway, this was excellent. I only used 4 chops, w/bone and used a 2 qt casserole dish. The chops were practicly burried in the ketcup/beer/bsugar mix and I really started to wonder if this would be any good at all. But it was excellent. I put a little fresh pepper on it and also sprinkled some fiesta party dip mix from Tastefully Simple on top to give it a zing. The meet melted right in my mouth and fell off the bone. Both my husband and I were like, 'Wow! Dem Chops is good!'

Parmesan Chicken II

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2005
I've given this only 3 stars because I basically used the recipe as a spring board for other ideas and went from there. First, I used chicken thighs instead of drumsticks. Then, for the coating, I used minced pecans, bread crums, onion powder, garlic powder, basil, oregano, and cumin. Mixed that and then added the cheese. I floured the chicken, then dipped in the egg and then in the coating. They turned out very good and will do this again next time w/chicken breasts. ...Not sure how the regular recipe would have turned out, though.

Coriander and Cumin Rubbed Pork Chops

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2005
Very good pork rub. Just to let people know, I used this on a pork rib roast and grilled it for almost 3 hours over indirect heat on our charcoal grill. It was beyond fabulious and made the first roast I've ever cooked an instant classic!

Hungarian Kifli II

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2005
These are the cookies that my mom's Yugoslavian neighbor taught us how to make when we were kids. I can't believe that I found the receipe and as soon as I took my first bite, I knew it was them. They are great and well worth the effort. I nice, light cookie that has a touch of sweetness. Excellent!

Thighs on Rice

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2005
This was not good and took much longer than 45 minutes to cook six thighs. I doctored this up quite a bit and nothing helped. My husband would hardly eat it and the rice came out dry. You might want to monitor the moisture level during cooking.

Acapulco Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2005
This was excellent! I would suggest a few changes, though. I didn't measure the chili powder but after cutting up the chicken, made sure each piece was coated with the powder. Then I lightly salted and peppered. I also used my wok, which I love cooking with. I used penut oil instead of olive oil and thought it gave it a better taste. Beore adding the chicken to the preheated penut oil, I added 2 cloved of minced fresh garlic. This also gave it more flavor. Finally, instead of the hot pepper sauce, I used one red chili from my garden and man! was it just right. So, even though I changed the recipe, I never would have thought of this combination on my own! It was great!

Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 2, 2005
I was also dissapointed in these cookies. I made them as Christmas gifts to go in my holiday baskets and ended up scrapping most of them. They were hard, thick and very crunchy. They never rose and had that 'cookie' look. I wouldn't make these again and don't understand why they were supposed to be so good.

Chicken Enchilada Casserole II

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2005
This was extremely good but a little time consuming to make. My husband and I like food spicy so I added extra red peper flakes and used spicy chunky salsa. It really made the dish HOT and we were both piling on the sourcream. I also made quacamolie for a topper. Very very good and will make again.

Thai Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2005
This was very good. The sauce was very thick so next time I will try to thin it down, but I haven't decided on the best way to do this. I served it with green beans and Asian noodles. My husband, who doesn't like chicken, loved it.

Mom's Rum Cake

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2004
This is the same recipe my mom has been making for years. Perfect in every way. I added 3/4 cup of Rum to the glaze mix and depending on your oven, baking time may be shorter than 1 hour. Perfect and moist to the last piece and easily freezable.

Old Fashioned Paradise Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2004
This did not turn out at all like I expected. Should have done a tester pie before taking it to Thanksgiving dinner. It still tasted good. But, the cream cheese layer never set and combined with the pumpkin layer. Also, had to use about a stick of butter with the pecans in order for it to spread over the top. 2 tablespoons is nothing to disolve 2 tablespoons of sugar. Probably would not make again.
