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

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2009
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

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009
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.

Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2009
These are ok... edible and soft. However, they don't taste very peanut buttery, and rather than the soft, chewy texture I was expecting, they turned out very dry and cake-like. I ended up giving them all away to neighborhood children, because my husband hated them and I couldn't stomach eating the entire batch. I followed the recipe exactly as written.

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2009
Great recipe! I ran out of boxed pancake mix and decided to make some from scratch. This recipe is great! It was a little too much salt so I would suggest only using 1/4 ts of salt. I will definately make these again!

Manicotti Italian Casserole

Reviewed: Jul. 26, 2009
In our home this is called "Pasta Bake". The only thing I add extra is cut up green pepper and a cup of parmesan cheese. I even made this for my sister's family while visiting them. The loved it too! Everyone that has ever been to our home and had this has loved it! If there are leftovers it never makes it to the next day. We serve this with garlic toast and a nice green salad. Cheap, quick, easy and it "tastes so good"!!

Angel Chicken Pasta

Amazing. I was unable to use Golden Mushroom soup because our grocer only had one badly dented can. Used Cream of Mushroom instead and I loved it, my DH loved it (he normally dislikes my cooking). I did double the sauce, delish!

Chicken with Stuffing

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2009
This was a very easy recipe. The stuffing was perfect, the chicken was perfect- I did add one envelope of onion soup mix to the cream of chic soup with about 3/4 cup water- but I read the reviews and added a bag of frozen veggies to the pot. I ended up cooking 7 hours on high- I was gone- and while the chicken was PERFECT the veggies had disintegrated to mush. Very tasty, but mushy. Next time I will use fresh raw veggies instead. Thanks for the recipe!

Wonderful. The whole family loved them. I used the whole packet of Ranch, and when I took the chicken out to shred it i added a little cornstarch to thicken up the sauce. Everyone says that it tastes just like hooters buffalo chicken sandwiches!
