Slow Cooker Carnitas

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009
Really excellent & simple using a 6.75 bone-in pork shoulder. Following some posted reviews I cut the roast into 4-5 large hunks and tripled the spice mixture except for salt & cinnamon. Was able to spoon off the excess fat and the carnitas were juicy & flavorful. So far used to make fajitas, enchiladas & tortilla soup.

Savory Kale, Cannellini Bean, and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009
I'm the first reviewer to make this recipe exactly as written, and it is delicious. I'm sure the additions noted would also be good, but as-is, this is a hearty, healthy soup.

Guacamole

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009
Nice and onion-y. Great fresh taste with the cilantro. The pinch of cayenne adds flavor but not heat.

Ronaldo's Beef Carnitas

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009
Smelled great while cooking, but the meat was very difficult to shred and had no flavor. None. We followed the recipe exactly. What to do with the leftovers? I'll probably mix the meat with BBQ sauce for sandwiches.

Doubled the mushrooms, added a little olive oil. Tasty, relatively healthy side dish.

Marinated Pork Chops

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2009
Juicy with good flavor. I let the chops marinate for two days, and the ingredients did not overwhelm or toughen the pork.

Elegant Penne with Asparagus and Shrimp

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2009
The wine and lemon juice made the very thin 'sauce' too acidic for us (If I made this again I wouldn't include the lemon juice). We added sauteed mushrooms.

Janet's Rich Banana Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2009
Dang it, that's good! Sliced bananas as instructed, but folding them into the mixture squished them a bit. Had a slice straight out of the pan with butter - yum, but this morning I had a toasted slice with honey nut cream cheese... Yummm!

Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes and Corn

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2009
Orzo was a good pasta choice. Tasted the mixture hot last night and did not like it at all - way too vinegary. Had it cold today for lunch - delicious.

Mama's Best Broiled Tomato Sandwich

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2009
Yum, yum, YUM! I didn't marinate the tomato slices - it seemed like such a shame to hide their flavor under a vinegar and oil blanket. The mayo is to die for - you still taste the tomato, but it is... just yum. Hubby loved too.

Pork Chop and Feta Skillet

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2009
This combination of flavors did not work for us - too tangy.

Risotto with Asparagus

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2009
This was my first attempt at making risotto at home, and it turned out very nicely (if I may say so myself). Just before adding the first cup of broth I set the timer for 20 minutes - this kept me on track and made for perfectly cooked rice. I'll try using mushrooms next time.

Greek-alicious Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2009
The perfect mix of everything. I added one roma tomato but kept the rest the same and it tasted yummy! Easy and simply, would make again for sure.

Rick's Special Buttercream Frosting

Reviewed: Jul. 31, 2009
Wonderful frosting. I made it exactly the way the recipe reads and used it on cupcakes. I remember reading somewhere that adding a couple tablespoons of meringue powder to it will help stabilize it for piping. I'm going to try that technique this weekend. Have to make two large cakes for a big party. I wonder how this frosting will work in place of a typical "crusting" BC? Hope it will look as smooth as typical crusting BC. We'll see!

Iced Pumpkin Cookies

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2009
These we so yummy; they are very moist and soft. I think the icing really makes the cookie too. I made them exactly as stated and they were fabulous; my family loved them too.

Pumpkin Pancakes

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2009
Awesome recipe. Loved the flavor of these. The texture of the mix was a little thick but I just added a little more milk and then used a spoon to spread them out on the pan. The only change I made was I used whole wheat flour and they still turned out fabulous.

Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2009
I've had this recipe saved for ages, but I've always been afraid that these cookies would be disappointing. I finally made them and I was NOT disappointed! I'm kicking myself for not making these sooner. These were excellent! I loved the soft texture of these cookies. I think this is my family's and my favorite chocolate chip recipe.

Oatmeal Chocolate Coconut Chewy

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2009
These were very good and very addicting! I loved the chewy texture and the combination of flavors. I did make one change; I completly cut out the white sugar. Even without the white sugar they were still very sweet.

Morning Glory Muffins I

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2009
These were very yummy. Even my family who usually runs in the opposite direction when I make something healthy enjoyed these. I did make a few changes due to preference; I used all whole wheat flour, apple sauce instead of apple butter, only one cup of sugar, and 1/8 a cup of oil. I didn't put the walnuts or wheat germ on only because I didn't have any.

Garlic Cheese Chicken Rollups

Reviewed: Jul. 7, 2009
These were just okay. I love the sound of all the ingredients and the reviews were so positive, maybe I was just expecting more? I made it once and never again, it didn't get any negative criticism, but was never requested again.
