Creamy Hot Cocoa

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2009

This is the first time I was making homemade hot chocolate. I am really picky about my hot chocolate and I just did not like this recipe and neither did my husband. He said he prefers swiss miss over this recipe.

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009

This was the very first pie I have ever made from scratch and it was great! I followed some reviewers and made a few changes to the recipe an found some of their tips very helpful. 1. I used the no fail pie crust recipe from this site. 2. I brushed the bottom crust with egg whites before filling. 3. I prepared the lattice top before I started making the pie. 4. I used 6 granny smith apples instead of 8. 5. I added 1 Tbs. of corn starch, 1 Tsp cinnamon, dash of nutmeg and 1 Tbs. of vanilla to the syrup mixture. I took out a Tbs. of water to make up for the added Tbs of liquid from the vanilla. 6. I mixed 2/3 of the syrup with the apples before putting in pan and drizzled the remaining 1/3 over the top. 7. I baked the pie at 350 for the entire time and let it cook for an additional 20 min. because the apples were not quite done yet. It turned out great! I did not have any problems others had mentioned: no soggy crust, no overflow issues, the apples were tender... Definite keeper!

Pecan Pie V

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009

This pie was a hit at Thanksgiving. Very good flavor and texture. Don't be afraid of how it looks. It does not look like a normal pecan pie. I used a Marie Calendar frozen crust and it was just enough to fill.

Rotisserie Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2009

Very easy to do! We used the rotisserie burner on our grill and it took a little longer. Make sure you check the temperature often. The last 30 degrees went really fast! Very juicy!

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2009

I cut this recipe in half and cooked for only a few hours (3) on high. I used Franks Hot Sauce. I think it would have been really good if it was not so hot!! If I make this again I will try using less hot sauce.

This is just a twist on the old tator tot casserole favorite, my family seems to prefer this one over the classic. It's great for a quick supper every now and again!

Focaccia Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009

Really good and easy bread. I did not have any parmesan cheese so I had to leave it out and it was still really good. A keeper. The recipe fails to tell you to activate the yeast.

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2009

In my opinion not worthy of being a top recipe on allrecipes.com or the top muffin, but they are ok. Not bad but not excellent. I did take other reviewers suggestions and added vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon to the muffin mix, which I think did add to the flavor.

Paula Deens Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2009

Even though it did not turn out because I used real pumpkin puree instead of canned pumpkin (much runnier) - YUMMY! I cut the sugar down to 1 1/2 cup (2/3 the original quantity she called for). Some people complained that the cake was burned on the bottom so I reduced the temperature by 25 degrees and baked an extra half an hour.

Laura's Quick Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2009

As written this is a mediocre recipe in my opinion, it needs a little tweaking. It had a weird flavor and was rather dry for chili. If I make this again I would use stewed tomatoes in place of the tomato soup - not a fan of the soup's flavor. I would also probably omit the all spice.

Beef and Bean Chimichangas

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009

Really good! I made some of the alterations that other reviewers suggested. First, I substituted ground turkey for the beef since I don't eat beef. I substituted a can of green chilies for the green pepper. I used a package of taco seasoning instead of the spices. I did add some garlic. I cooked the beans with the meat. I also used 1/2 cup enchilada sauce instead of the tomato sauce. I topped with a little bit of enchilada sauce, cheese, lettuce and tomato. I froze the extra filler for later. I will be keeping this recipe for later use!

Pretty good recipe. Next time I will cut the onions bigger, I like onions and they were just too small compared to the tomatoes and zucchini. Definite keeper.

Rick Bayless Chicken n Biscuits

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2009

Tastes kind of rich, but good. Steve really likes it. Cook the chicken before adding to the onion mixture. I baked the biscuits that did not fit in the pan. It was done about 5 minutes early.
