Roasted Chickpeas

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009
Wish I'd tried this sooner! I just took these out of the oven, plan to serve them on a salad instead of croutons. I used salt, pepper, garlic, cumin, and a dash of hot sauce, all mixed with the oil then tossed. I baked about 375 for about 40 minutes, but I started checking them at 30, then every couple minutes. Thanks for the recipe!!!

I thought this recipe was great! What a nice change from tomato sauce or cheese sauce. My husband thought it was weird but he did eat 2 servings! Thanks!

Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2009
These are very good and chewy. My only reason for not giving it a 5 star is that the cookies have a low key floury taste to them. I think I agree with a few other reviewers... they need some extra brown sugar to give them the sweeter taste. They are good but for some reason, after I took mine out of the oven they flattened... I wonder why... any suggestions??? I'd love to figure out what I'm doing wrong here. Thanks for a great recipe, they are def. worth making again, but be ware, you'll get a lot!!!

Chocolate Cheese Ball

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2009
This was such a hit. I served with teddy grahams (chocolate chip, chocolate, and honey) Everyone loved it and thought it was a unique idea. I served it at a spa party, it was clean and simple to eat during that! For an easy way to change it up a little you can add some cocoa(I think I used 2 tablespoons but you can give or take to suite your liking.) Everyone loved both flavors since I did 2 separate.

Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2009
Yes... this was delicious. I didn't change anything other than added the extra celery/carrots/onions that I chopped too much of. (which wasn't that much more) Other than that, I didn't change anything. It was delicious. I don't think the sauce was too thick at all! I like a thicker sauce in most things anyway, but this wasn't too runny or too thick. It was the perfect consistency. My husband loved it and most of my kids loved it too. The picky one just ate the chicken and pastry portion but even so it was a big hit and it was easy to prepare! I will definitely bake this again. A great way to get in some good veggies! Thank you!

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009
This really is delicious!!! I am a crock pot lover... and so I followed the advice of the another reviewer and used my crock pot to prepare. I put in everything but the butter/flour/milk and let it cook on low all day long. I added a little over an extra 1/3 C. of the chopped ham... an extra 1/3 C. chopped celery to get in those extra veggies for the kids... and I didn't have milk so I used half and half and I actually think that helped to make the soup a bit thicker... the way we like it! When it was time to add the butter/flour/milk I just followed the directions to put that together and added it to the crock pot when it was ready. We ate about 45 minutes later. The kids gobbled it down and even asked for seconds. We liked adding shredded cheddar cheese the the soup when serving. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! Perfect for these cold fall days!

Yogurt Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009
I didn't have a lemon so I substituted an orange. Gave it a great flavor. I should have listened to others and put it on a rack. The breading was a little too soggy and not as crispy as I would have liked.

Caramel Popcorn

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009
This caramel corn is CLASSIC!!! It is either as good or better than the stuff you get at the market or fair. It is very sweet, but oooh so good! It's definitely better the next day after everything get's a good chance to harden... so the corn isn't as soft and the sugar has hardened. It's delicious... and so easy! Try it for a party and mix with peanuts or m&m's and you won't be sorry!! What a great hit for our family movie night!

Boilermaker Tailgate Chili

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009
I loved this chili. I think if you don't like it, it must be that it's not your kind of chili... but in our opinion this is the classic, flavorful chili that chili is supposed to be. I left out the beer and bacon bits... I didn't want to waste a 12 oz bottle of beer for a half cup of it. I didn't want to add the entire bottle either b/c we don't like soupy chili... I'm pregnant so I couldn't finish the rest, hubby was working and you can't save beer... soooo I just left it out. Maybe next time I'll be able to use it. I didn't have bacon bits or I would have included that too. Even with out those things included, this was fantastic! It's thick, not too spicy, tasted great with sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese on top. The kids loved it too... even a 1 year old baby... so that just shows you it's not too hot... but it def. did have a nice kick to it! Thanks for sharing... we'll be using this often! It made plenty for my current family of 5 with 2 large containers leftover for another day!!!

Mom's Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2009
Amazing... I am so surprised that this bread tastes so good. I have never tasted zucchini bread... that I can recall that is. However when I got these two zucchini's given to me, I wasn't sure what I could do with them, but I didn't want them to go to waste so I did a search on this site and found this recipe. I thought I'd try it out and see what happened. I reviewed all the comments and followed the directions exactly. I am so glad I tried this recipe. The bread is absolutely amazing. My girls like it and even though it's not the healthiest... they are still getting some veggies hidden in a bread they think is dessert... which it kind of is, but still! Anyway, the night before I tried this bread I stopped at my mother in laws house and she had just baked some a few days earlier so I tried it. I was pretty bummed that zucchini bread was what I was going to make... much to my surprise... either something went wrong with her recipe, a few days old is too old, or this recipe just blows the other one out of the water! I am so happy I went through with making this bread rather than skipping it b/c I tasted other zucchini bread that just wasn't all that great! Thank you for sharing this!!! Oh, one other thing... I guess I didn't follow the instructions completely. I ran out of vegetable oil. So I used what I had which was 3/4 C. and I used 1/4 C. applesauce to bring it to 1 C. total. That's the only provision I made, but this bread is perfectly moist and delicious

World's Best Lasagna

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2009
I've never attempted making lasagna because I always thought it would be to complicated and take too long, but I decided to give it a go... mostly because I'm pregnant and I was craving the pasta and cheese combo!!! I don't like rating a recipe with out first trying it as is, and I mostly did, there were just a few exceptions: I used fresh basil and fresh parsley. I did double the red sauce mixture so I could make 2 lasagna's as well. I didn't purchase enough ricotta to double that, but next time I'll be sure to do that as well. I had enough for both lasagna's, but one was just a lot cheesier than the other. The only other alteration I made was adding a dash of nutmeg to the ricotta/egg mixture. I got that idea from a post on this site and it sounded good! This doesn't alter the recipe, but I did just place the noodles in a pan and fill it with hot tap water. I let that water set with the noodles for 20 or so minutes then I would drain that out and repeat a couple times until the noodles were nice and soft. This is so much better for me since I hate to make my kitchen any hotter than I have to while I'm baking. Plus if you're going to do the red sauce as the directions call for (simmering for 1.5 hrs) there's no rush for the noodles. If you are planning on combining the red sauce ingredients and refrigerating overnight to blend the flavors then this may take a little extra time, but I like not having to boil them. Next time I will also (as other reviewers have s

Easy Banana Brownies

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2009
This brownie is perfect! For over a year, I've been trying several different brownie recipes a month... this is the best one so far. The texture is absolutely wonderful. I made the recipe exactly according to directions, except I added 1/3 c. semisweet chocolate chips to the batter right before baking. So good!

Polish Sloppy Joes

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2009
I think this would have been good as written, but I did change it quite a bit. I used crumbled polish sausage, didn't use the chicken stock, just the sauerkraut juice. I also added about a half cup sour cream at the end, and that gave it a great taste as well as the saucy texture of a regular sloppy joe. Thanks for the recipe!

Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Definitely good. I didn't have a bundt pan, so I used a 13x9 and increased the topping to 3/4 c. brown sugar and 2 t cinnamon (nut allergy - I left them out altogether). Ended up baking it, with frozen berries, for 55 minutes and it was perfect.

French Fry Casserole

Great easy recipe! Added some bacon, and had to use queso cheese because thats what I had on hand. Left out the green peppers so my son would eat it. Kinda made it a mildly spicy bacon-cheeseburger w/ french fry casserole. Yum.
