Chicken with Sausage and Dried Fruit

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2006

I was excited over the sweet salty concept but it didn't work for me. The main flavor was the peppers and onions, perhaps sauteeing them prior to putting them in the crockpot would lessen their flavor a bit. The chicken was a little dry, despite being cooked in extra broth. I didn't use the broth/fruit as a sauce, it didn't look appealing. I commend whomever posted this recipe, it is interesting and original. My husband and I thought it was pretty good but the kids gave it a thumbs down.

Mock Champagne

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2005

I tried this New Year's 2004 after many years of using straight ginger ale for kids. After the first glass, all the kids opted to pour themselves just ginger ale and by-pass the pitcher of mock champagne.

Best Ever Chuck Wagon Chili

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2005

I thought this was really good! I have never made chili before, but it turned out great! I added 2 cloves of garlic with the peppers and onions, and used an extra can of tomato sauce. I ended up putting in about 3 tsp. of sugar to cut back on the acidity from the tomatoes. I also left out the pepper, so it wasn't very spicy, but I added a little bit of Cayenne pepper. Will definitely make again!

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2005

I thought these were great! I have never made pancakes from scratch, but I must say these sure beat Bisquick. They are very fluffy and moist. It is important that you cook them over a medium low or even low heat as to not burn them and to ensure they are cooked throughout. Very easy, and very good!

Bratwurst Stew

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2005

I put this on my Thanksgiving weekend menu plan as a break from poultry. I thought my German in-laws would like this stew. Well, there was a LOT of unexpected hesitation, but it turned out to be a winner! I bought good quality brats and removed the skin. Next time I will also slice them lengthwise for smaller mouths. I set a brown mustard on the table & some folks dipped their brats. I also opted for potatoes over beans (per another reviewer's suggestion). There was A LOT of concern about digestive gas. Turned out not to be a problem.

Super Sausage Gravy

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2005

This was delicious! I ended up adding about another 1/4 cup of milk, because it was so thick and I like my gravy a little thinner. But, wonderful! Will definitely make again!

Potato Coffee Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2005

Sorry, but a 5 star means make it for company and make it frequently for the family. This recipe was just sweet bread with sugar on top. Basic homemade buttermilk bread would be an equally good gift, and makes a great morning treat toasted with cinnamon suger. If you want sweet, make a coffee CAKE. If you want bread, make bread. This is good, but not a show stopper.

Whole Wheat Honey Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2005

When we tried out this bread we were at first enhanced by the lovely smell! As our very first time using the bread machine, we burnt it, but even then it tasted fine and you couldn't have just one slice. We didn't do anything to the ingredients, but the facts are: no matter how burnt or underbaked you get it, it'll still taste great.

Quick Chicken Cordon Bleu

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2005

Delicious! The sauce is reminiscent of a fondue sauce and the chicken turned out perfect! And the best part of all, it's all made in the microwave. My only complaint was that most of the bread crumbs came off of the chicken, but it was wonderful nonetheless!
