Slow Cooker Swiss Steak

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2009

Awesome! The only thing I did different was I had no celery so I didn't put that in and I added a little tomato paste to made the gravy thicker. It was excellent and I will make this again.

Pesto Cream Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2009

really good. I made it with chicken and bowtie pasta, but I think it would be better with linguine or fettucine.

Simple to make. I couldn't wait to taste it. It was pretty good. I thought it needed a touch of salt, I used low sodium soy and bouillon in this, maybe that's why. It tasted a little bitter or sour to me. I added just pinch of sugar, shake of salt and pepper to my portion and it did make it better. I would make this again as a quick and easy fried rice. Thanks for the recipe!

Autumn Glazed Pork Chops

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2009

This was surprisingly good. I omitted the cranberry, used fresh nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, 2 Cups of apple cider, a little OJ and a little sweet vermouth. I had some onions left over from another meal that were sauteed with cider vinegar so I added those as well. I browned the chops then poured the sauce in the pan and braised for 1-1/2 hours. Very tender with a light apple flavor. Served over rice.

Classic Chicken And Dumplings - Ci Recipe

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009

I loved this, but hubby says no veggies in his chicken and dumplings! So, next time I will just strain them out and he need never know! Excellent flavor. Dumplings were a good flavor but a little heavy, but I think I overmixed them, it being the first time I ever made any. Try, try again. Thanks Keni!!

Basic Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2009

This recipe is a good foundation. If you want to add dill pickles, but don't have pickles in your refrigerator, use fresh dill from the store. I also added some garlic powder. Since I didn't have celery, I substituted using 1/2 of a green bell pepper. Of course a red bell pepper would be fine too. To give the recipe some zip, I chopped up some scallions and added them to the mix. White onions would also work well. I also added some chopped walnuts. Finally, I didn't have lemon juice on hand, so I substituted this ingredient with lemon pepper. My wife loved it! What a great way to use up the remaining store bought rotisserie chicken.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2009

This was wonderful. I used two cans of Cream of Chicken soup and one 14.5oz can of chicken broth instead of the water as suggested by other reviewers. I used a Jamaican Jerk seasoning from McCormick's Gourmet Collection which along with some salt and pepper was all I added. Again, this was wonderful

Cabbage Beef Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2009

It was a lot like chili, but it was wonderful! I love the cabbage and the flavor is just right. I did add some cup up tomatoes, but it was just to use them up. I would add some next time, but it doesn't have to have them.

Creole Green Beans

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009

These were pretty good. Made to the recipe with the exception of the creole seasoning. I was ready to put it in when I found I didn't have any! So added some paprika, basil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder and some red pepper flakes. I used my frozen green beans which were a little watery as opposed to store green beans so I ended up cooking them a little longer. I think the butter is unneeded in this dish with all the bacon in it. Unless you use just a couple of Tbsp and saute the onions, peppers, and garlic first, then add the beans and bacon. The bacon also could be cut in half. Had a good flavor, wasn't too spicy for us. I will probably make again. Thanks for the recipe.

Romanian Apple Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009

This was a nice apple cake, made to the recipe. My apples carry a lot of moisture, so needs a little more flour for me, otherwise it's too moist. I would have liked to see some more cinnamon in it. Good warmed up. Did powdered sugar glaze for the top, but it doesn't really need anything. Thanks for the recipe. 10/26/09~I have made this 3 times since this review, just a hint, I used about 4 cups of sliced apples as most apple cake/crisp recipes use this amount. Since varying apples are different sizes (mine are huge, I only use two for 4 cups) it helps to know how much instead of how many.

Apple Crisp II

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2009

Made this to the recipe. Everyone raves about this one. The topping is fantastic! I am always looking to use up the apples off the tree this time of year. The added water was way too much for me. It may be the type of apple used. The filling part of the crisp is not bad. Needs more cinnamon and sugar for my apples. All in all, good recipe, I'll adjust and make again, thanks.

Spanish Rice II

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2009

I used chicken broth to give some extra flavor to the rice. This is really good. Not a green pepper fan, but put some in along with some white and red that I had roasted previously. Was really spicy for me but the family loved it. Thanks!

Chicken-Flavored Rice Mix

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2009

Made to the recipe. Was really easy, but really bland. I don't know what rice-a-roni tastes like, so can't compare it to that. Would definitely benefit from a little salt, garlic powder and cooked in chicken broth instead of water. Thanks for the mix though.

Minute® Rice Porcupine Meatballs

Made to the recipe these are just ok. A little bland even with the meatloaf seasoning pack. A little dry. Very quick and easy though. But I wouldn't make again.

Marinated Baked Pork Chops

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2009

I thought it was a wonderful marinade. It gave the pork a lot of flavor. I put some onion and red bell pepper on top while I baked them and they were a wonderful compliment to the meat. I will also have to try it with chicken.

Hot Artichoke Spinach Dip

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009

I also thought this was sort of bland. I used cream cheese and a little milk to thin it out. Added slat and pepper after it was finished. Salsa is also good with this dip.

Southwest Skillet

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009

Very good skillet recipe; will definately keep you warm on a cold Fall or Winter day! Will make again soon! The only changes I made is that I substituted ground cumin instead of using salt; I also didn't measure out the corn chips and cheese...I used about 3 handfulls of crushed corn chips, and a heaping handful of cheese. Everything else is the same.
