Broccoli with Garlic Butter and Cashews

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009

Double the sauce and cashews, serve over brown rice with grilled/baked chicken for a complete one-bowl meal. So good and easy to make. Reminds me of a dish I had at PF Changs. I did have to add a few more tbsp. of brown sugar to take away from the overpowering saltiness from the soy. Next time I will use low-sodium soy for a less salty taste. My kids even liked this and my husband and I loved it for a new way to get more broccoli into our diet. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe.

Dark Chocolate Cake I

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009

So good and not complicated to make either. Have made it a few times now and have added coffee and other flavorings to make it different each time. So tasty when combined with the frosting from the "chocolate torte" recipe on the AR website. Thanks for sharing!

Chocolate Torte

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009

Great frosting recipe! Whole family loved it. I used the "dark chocolate cake 1" recipe on the AR site and it made the cake even better. A bit more effort to not use a boxed cake mix but so worth it. Even better the next day. Thanks for sharing!

Garlic Cheese Chicken Rollups

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009

This was an easy and tasty way to change up a baked chicken recipe. My husband and kids liked it too. I used Alouette garlic flavored cheese and it worked out great. Thanks for a good and easy recipe!

Easy Beef Stroganoff

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009

Thanks to reviewer "awesome in tummy." I took the suggestion of thinly slicing sirloin into strips instead of the ground beef. A bit more time consuming but very much worth the extra effort! My husband absolutely loved this recipe and so did I. Read the suggestions by "awesome in tummy" and follow for a great dish.

Apple Cranberry Crisp

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009

It really annoys me when people say a recipe is great but then go on to say how changed half the recipe. I want to read reviews of what the recipes is like as is not after people change a majority of the ingredients. Sorry, rant over. I enjoyed this recipe. I made it to take to work and even people who don't eat cranberries were eating it. Great recipe, and yes this is a 'as is' review.

Apple Crisp with Cranberry Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009

I enjoyed this recipe but I pretty much like anything with cranberry sauce in it. Although I can't resist commenting on some of the former reivews. Doesn't it make sense to try out a recipe first before making it for holiday dinners, birthday parties, etc??? If you don't like a recipe fine, but don't make an untested recipe for a big dinner and then be embarrassed when no one, not even you, likes it.

Creamy Orange Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009

I made this my oldest son's birthday back in August. It was an okay recipe. I wouldn't totally rave about it, but it tasted about how I expected. Like others have said I had to use white cake because I couldn't find an orange cake mix. Will probably make it again but most likely will add more orange flavoring.

Stuffed Green Peppers I

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2009

My family loved these peppers. The best part was that my son who will not eat rice ate these. He didn't even realize the rice was in them. I made these just as written except I added garlic and I also put more cheese on top. Fabulous!! Thank you!

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2009

This was a good basic meatloaf but I guess because of so many reviews I expected something with a real "wow" factor. The brown sugar/ketchup mixture is how my mother always made it when I was growing up so this wasn't anything new or special to me. Just due to experience I knew to 1) soak the breadcrumbs (I chose to use instead of crackers) in milk before adding to the meat mixture 2) saute the onions in olive oil vs. adding raw onion (I added garlic to saute too) 3) sugar/ketchup on top, not bottom with less sugar than the recipe calls for and 4) do not put in loaf pan; meatloaf is best when formed into a mounded loaf shape and placed on foil on top of a sheet cake/jelly roll pan. This meatloaf was not as good as the one I make with salsa that creates a very moist and tender meatloaf. It was nice to try a new meatloaf recipe but I think I will keep looking for one that does provide the "wow" for my family. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 23, 2009

I had been looking for a blueberry cornmeal muffin recipe that would be as good as the one I had at an upscale hotel and this one is even better! I have made these many, many times now and have played around with the recipe too. Don't bother changing any of the ingredients, these are perfect and best tasting just the way the recipe is written. My husband has been the "judge" of all of my variations (using whole wheat flour, less sugar, etc...) and he has said the original is definitely the winner. I did take the advice of other reivewers and add a bit more brown sugar to the batter and since I love the crunch that the cornmeal provides I do add a bit more that the recipe calls for. I use fresh blueberries so no need to coat with flour. These are also so simple to mix up that you can make them in the morning for breakfast and have amazing tasting and hot muffins from the oven for breakfast. I have found that these are best eaten on the same day as baking. They don't stay fresh that long which is not a problem as they never make it past a day in our house anyway. I highly recommend making these muffins, you will not be disappointed!

Big Al's K.C. Bar-B-Q Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2009

This was very good and much easier/quicker to make than I had thought it would be to make a homemade BBQ sauce. I added a bit more vinegar than the recipe called for because I like the flavor it brings to a BBQ sauce. It was delicous and easy to make. I used it to make the "Slow Cooker Barbeque Ribs" from the AR site. The meal was liked by my whole family. No need to buy store bought BBQ sauce anymore. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe!

Bacon and Tomato Cups

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2009

These were good but seemed like they could use a bit more seasoning or something. I took them to a party and people did seem to enjoy them. I substituted prepared mini phyllo cups as suggested by other reviewers and only used enough mayo to moisten the mixture. If I make these again I will definitely use something to season them up a bit though.

Slow Cooker Barbecue Ribs

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2009

These were easy to make and great to eat! My husband and 4 year old loved them. I gave it 5 stars because of taste and especially because of the ease of preparation. I am always looking for easy meals to make in the crock-pot to accomodate a busy schedule and this one will be made again. I did use "Big Al's KC BBQ sauce" recipe from this website in place of the bbq sauce from this recipe. It was delicious too. I had to use St. Louis style ribs because my store was out of baby back ribs. It worked just fine and was a lot less expensive too. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
