Molly's Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2009

This was FABULOUS! Easy to make and the sauce was awesome over steamed rice! If you aren't into salty things I suggest using lower sodium Soy Sauce but other than that it was good and easy! Thanks so much!

Cajun Chicken Pasta

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009

Great recipe and so easy! I sliced the chicken into strips for easier eating for my 7 year old. Added red pepper flakes for an extra zing. Added about 1/4 c of white wine with the peppers and deglazed the pan. Will definitely make again.

Homemade Flour Tortillas

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009

These are really good, but rolling them out was very tiring for me (I'm 76), and mine weren't quite as thin as I would have liked.

Breakfast Burritos

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009

These are very popular with my grandson and his friends. I did make a few changes. I had some already cooked bacon in my freezer, so I chopped it and mixed it and the onion into the eggs as I scrambled them. My grandson works in a fast food place that makes similar burritos, and he suggested that I put a half slice of cheddar onto the tortilla, then put the scramble on top before folding it up. It's easier and less messy than sprinkling shredded cheese. Now I make them up in advance, wrap them in parchment paper and freeze them in zippered plastic bags. The boys warm them up in the microwave for snacks.

Homemade Vanilla Pudding

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009

This recipe is tops! Everyone loves it! Very easy and quick to make. I've also used it as filling for the Cream Puff Shells by Ginger P. and I've made it with canned milk for half the milk called for. I've made it with skim milk, too. I did cut back a bit on the sugar and doubled the vanilla. It's good with all kinds of milk or milk combinations that I've tried so far.

Awesome Egg Rolls

Very good. I gave it four stars because we didn't care for the cabbage just shredded. The second time I made it, I shredded, then chopped the cabbage fairly fine and we like it better that way.

Stuffed Shells III

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009

great filling. Shells had tendency to tear, and some stuck together - probably need to cook fewer at a time, or get a larger cooker.

Three Greens and Fruit with Vinaigrette

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2009

My fiance really likes green salads with fruit, so I wanted to try this one. I tried another salad with pears and feta and didn't care for the combo, so knew in advance I would change the fruit. I used iceberg and spinach (what I had); made the dressing per the recipe; used fresh sectioned oranges; no cheese. We very much enjoyed this salad. And...glazed walnuts would probably be very good in this salad; add another dimension.

Coq au Vin alla Italiana

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2009

OMG! This was sooooo good! I don't usually cook with any kind of chicken except boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but decided to try the dark chicken for a change. (BSCB can get b-o-r-i-n-g.) Well, I bought a package of chicken thighs, bone-in. Wow. I don't know if my package was any different, but I ended up trimming a lot, eventually ending up with about 25% waste (skin and fat). So, I decided to use half chicken thighs and half BSCB. The only other change (that I can recall) was that I crumbled the sausage instead of slicing. Served with garlic mashed potatoes. Delicious.

Jamie's Minestrone

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2009

My fiance declared this minestrone 'better than Olive Garden's'. And I agree! What I did differently: crushed tomatoes for tomato sauce; fresh green beans; much more spinach (stemmed and chopped coarse, even tho I did use 'baby'); just two zucchini; ditalini pasta. What I will do differently next time: blanch the green beans; use one zucchini (even two was *plenty* for us); maybe another can of beans; maybe a can of whole tomatoes, broken up. I think keeping the pasta separate is key! I used the ditalini based on another reviewer's suggestion that ditalini holds up better in soups. I did make a second batch using red beans and didn't care for them much. They were smaller and mushier than the kidney beans. And one more note on the prep time: maybe I'm slow, but I spent an hour preparing the vegetables; much more than the thirty-five minutes indicated on the recipe. But, I did stem and chop the spinach and also used the fresh green beans. But the end result was well worth it!

Basic Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2009

I agree with the other, this recipe is not quite right. Here are my changes: 1 stick margarine, 4 cups cookie mix, 1 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1/4 cup of shortening, 3 eggs, 1 cup choco chips: then these turned out great! I agree the basic mix does make tings easier.

Vegetarian Cottage Cheese Patties

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009

I halved the recipe and skipped the cream of mushroom and ate it with ketchup and a side of spicy fries. i realized that i don't like the taste of thyme, but im not going to nitpick. i added a handful of shreaded cheese and i used beefy onion soup instead of original onion soup, because i was cooking for myself, and im not a vegetarian. i have lots of leftover, but i don't know if i'll use it because of the thyme, i'd rather start from scratch and omit it. My roommate is too picky to even try it, but i liked it very well.

Irish Cream Chocolate Cheesecake

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009

I have not made this exact recipe, but I have one similar to this that I have made for years, and the main differences are the recipe I use has more Irish Cream and instead of the cocoa powder, you mix an amount of the cheesecake "batter" with melted chocolate chips, then swirl that into the rest of the pan before baking. Another variation I have used a few times is white chocolate, and added a bit of green food coloring to swirled in amount. Every time I've made this cheesecake, it disappears and I never have left overs to take home! You really should read all the tips (and reviews) on a good cheesecake if you haven't made them before. Greasing the pan, using a waterbath, and cooling it slowly are very important, but I would certainly say give it a try! It's worth it. Thanks for posting this recipe!
