Hearty Turkey Stew with Vegetables

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009
This stew is good. I used leftover Rosemary Roasted Turkey from thanksgiving. I added an extra cup of chicken stock and used a red bell pepper instead of green. I agree that it is missing something, so I added 1 tsp. poultry seasoning, and that helped. I would recommend even more seasoning - just add what you like!

Potato Rosemary Rolls

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009
These are absolutely gorgeous - both in looks and flavor! The only change I made was to use 2 Tbsp. fresh chopped rosemary. They came out perfect! I think I like these better than Jo's Rosemary Bread from this site. To make the shape of them, I coiled them around my finger, removed my finger, then put the outside end through the hole. Easy! I can't wait to make these for company.

Awesome Turkey Giblet Stock

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009
It smells like Thanksgiving in here! This stock was so good and easy, a great way to use those giblets! I used this recipe to make the "Savory Turkey Gravy" recipe from this site, so I did eliminate the tangerine zest because I wasn't sure I wanted citrusy gravy.

Great! I scaled the recipe way back and used it in the "Savory Turkey Gravy" recipe from the site for Thanksgiving.

Rosemary Roasted Turkey

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009
Amazing! I made the turkey according to the recipe, although I did add a foil tent for the first 2 hours and then removed it the last hour so the skin browned nicely. Excellent flavor from the rosemary and herbs! This was only the second turkey I've ever made and it turned out great using this recipe. It was very easy separating the skin from the breast - so don't worry about that part! I highly recommend this recipe!

Savory Turkey Gravy

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009
This was my first attempt at making gravy and it was a hit! I love the seasoning, the poultry season and celery salt are perfect. For the turkey stock, I used the "Awesome Turkey Giblet Stock" recipe from this site, but eliminated the tangerine zest. I only got about 2 cups stock, so I adjusted the other ingredients accordingly. Be sure to wisk WELL while SLOWLY adding in the water/flour mixture, otherwise you will get lumps!

Traditional Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009
Great basic recipe. Fluffy, tasty and perfect for gravy with Thanksgiving dinner! I used 1 tsp. kosher salt in the water while cooking the potatoes and 1 tsp. kosher salt mixed in at the end with the butter and milk.

Rice Stuffing with Apples, Herbs, and Bacon

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009
I love this stuffing! This is the second time I've made this and it turned out awesome. Make sure to use a large stock pot to cook the wild rice in, because you end up adding a lot more to the pot later on. For the herbs I used 1 Tbsp. rosemary, 2 Tbsp. basil, 1 Tbsp. oregano, 1 Tbsp. thyme, 1/2 Tbsp. marjoram and 1/2 tsp. ground sage. I also added 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. The great thing is you can adjust the herbs according to your tastes. To cut costs, I only used raisins and craisins (skipping the apricots and cherries). It still turned out fabulous!

Great way to fix veggies! I made this for Thanksgiving as a change from green bean casserole. Love the swiss cheese.

Caramel Crunch Apple Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009
I love caramel apple pie and the flavor of this one can't be beat. I did have trouble with the filling being very runny though. I halved the amount of evap. milk with the caramels and I added 1 Tbsp. corn starch in addition to the flour, hoping it would help. Not so much. I did solve my problem of having a soggy crust bottom by brushing with with egg whites and pre-baking for 5 minutes. Very tasty pie though, and I love the crunchy topping!

Outrageous Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2009
Yummy! I followed the recipe, except for adding an extra 1/2 cup milk choc. chips I had leftover from another recipe. They are nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I found out on my first batch that they do not spread out while baking. So the next batch, I flattened them out slightly with the back of a spoon before baking. Both ways turned out great though!

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2009
Awesome! This recipe probably doesn't need anymore reviews, but I'll write one anyway. I made very little changes. I love cinnamon, so I added an extra tsp. I baked them in two 9"x5" loaf pans for about 70 minutes in my oven. The texture is absolutely wonderful - moist, tender and dense. Love, love, love!

Famous Butter Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2009
Amazing, perfect chicken! I pounded the chicken breasts so they were an even thickness. I used only about 5 Tbsp. butter, cut it into little pieces and placed it on top of the chicken. It came out crispy, and the chicken tender and juicy. The only other change I would recommend is only using 1 egg, I found that 2 eggs weren't necessary.

Roquefort Pear Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2009
Wonderful! I made a few changes. I used baby spinach instead of lettuce, skipped the avocado, and threw in some dried cranberries for color and texture. The pecans are amazingly tasty in this salad. Like another reviewer suggested, I added a couple Tbsp. water to the sugar and pecans. I cooked them until almost all the water had dissolved. The pecans came out with a wonderful sugary coating. The dressing is perfect. Just the right ratio of oil and vinegar, and the addition of (dijon) mustard, keeps the dressing emulsified, so it doesn't separate into layers.

Pink Panther

Good! I only had about 2 oz. pineapple juice, but that's ok, it just meant that the drink was stronger! I served it on the rocks instead of blending it.

Brussels Sprouts with Mushrooms

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009
Pretty good. I used frozen brussels sprouts, and cooked according to the package - simmer in some water about 7 minutes. For sauteeing the mushrooms, I used 2 Tbsp. olive oil and only 1 Tbsp. butter. It was just the right amout and had great flavor. I also added some fresh minced garlic, which I think is a must!

Maple Salmon

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009
This is great! I used reduced-sodium soy sauce and garlic powder instead of garlic salt. It was the perfect combination of savory and sweet. Be sure to use real maple syrup, not the fake stuff! I marinated and baked in a foil packet - makes cleanup a breeze. I highly recommend this recipe!

Banana Sour Cream Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009
This is outstanding banana bread! So moist and tender. And I love the addition of the cinnamon. I made 1/2 recipe, used 2 eggs and light sour cream. Next time I will double the cinnamon sugar mixture and sprinkle on top as well.

Lemon-Pepper Salmon

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009
What a wonderful combination of flavors! The tomatoes, cilantro and lemon pepper all go together great. It may seem like a lot of cilantro, but it's really not overpowering at all. Instead of the salt, the 1/4 cup water and the fresh tomatoes, I used a 14.5 oz. can of diced tomatoes, undrained. I also skipped the butter. It made the perfect amount of sauce for the (whole grain) couscous to soak up. I gave this recipe 5 stars because it's easy to make, healthy and very tasty!
