Taco Tot Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2009

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!

French Beef Stew

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2009

This was the first beef stew I have ever made. I have had good beef stew before, but I really like what the Dijon mustard did for this stew.

I made this last night and it was SOOOO good!! I made no changes except that I did not add any extra salt, it's not really necessary. Excellent soup!

This turned out just beautifully! I always put off making pizza because I always forget to put the dough up to proof, but now I can procrastinate and still have dinner on the table! The mix was a bit sticky, so I added another 1/3 cup flour to make it easier to handle. I only made one very large pizza, but you could easily split this into two thinner crusted large pizzas. My family of four devoured this faster than take out, so I am gonna have to divide it into two next time for sure. Thanks so much for this, its now on the rotation!

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009

I made this recipe exactly as stated and it was exactly what I was looking for. I made one load and 12 muffins as I only have one loaf pan and that seemed quicker. I will be doing this recipe again and trying some of the reviewer's suggestions of subing in some applesauce for some of the oil to lessen the calorie damage done when I inhale the loaf and will probably be playing around with additions of nuts, raisins and chocolate. This is a keeper!

Pumpkin Chili

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009

This was a tasty very mild chili. I didn't end up added the extra sugar as I tasted it after adding the pumpkin pie spice and the chili and thought that it was sweet enough. I also ended up increasing the chili powder alittle bit and threw some cumin in just to amp up the chili flavor. I served it on Halloween and all in all everyone there thought it was pretty good-although no one was really able to taste the pumpkin in it.

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2009

This is an excellent potato soup recipe. I followed the recipe to the "T," except for using 1/2 & 1/2 instead of milk. Apparently, I'm trying to eat unhealthily this weekend. It was unbelievably good, thick and rich, just like comfort soup should be. I served this with homemade Runza's for our Halloween supper. Please note, I prepared, twelve servings and it still didn't go very far. I can imagine that eight servings would barely feed a small flock of birds. As written, the volume of this recipe is small. If you have a big family, consider doubling it or more.

5 Minute Candy Bar Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2009

Will disappear from the table as quick as it is to make. I made 2 oreo pies. I started with Oreo crusts and since I was making 2, I put one layer of cheesecake pudding then a layer of chocolate fudge pudding in each. Topped the whip cream with crushed oreos. Use an extra 1/4 milk in the pudding, it will still set up hard enough, but whip a little easier. Also, if you've got a kitchen aid or an electric hand mixer, use it. Not sure a regular whisk would have done the trick. My choc fudge was too thick so i actually had to pipe it in. Added extra 1/4 milk to the cheesecake pudding it was perfect. Also, it'd be easier if your whip cream is thawed. Mine didn't spread too well on the top since it was still 1/2 frozen.

Party Potatoes

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2009

I love these potatoes!!!! I used cream of mushroom soup this time, but I might try cheddar soup next time since the people I'm serving don't really care for mushrooms! Isn't is great when you find these things out after you cook for them??

Cashew Chicken Casserole

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2009

Made this tonight -- excellent!! And for a casserole, very light -- not a heavy, bogged down feeling! I agree that since I don't care for green pepper, that easily swaps out with peas or brocolli!. I also used Ritz crackers rather than saltines. Next time, I may add a tad of garlic or something, although it was delicious the way it is. I used diced rather than sliced water chestnuts. Wonderful textures and flavors!! I will definitely make again!

2 cups is not enough! Not the way Ive been eating them anyways! I followed another review and boiled the seeds first, and then I followed the rest of the recipe, except I used butter instead of margarine. and this is the best they have ever tasted in all these years of making them! this is how I will make them from every year on out now!

Stuffed Green Peppers I

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2009

This was fantastic, and a great dinner for a cold night! I adjusted slightly to add 1 cup of rice instead of 1/2, to stretch the recipe just a bit. I added a little more cheese than the recipe called for, and I didn't have two cans of tomato soup, so I used the one can I had and a can of tomato sauce. It worked out great. Loved the recipe!

Marinated Pork Tenderloin

Was very tasty and tender. I did use another reviewers suggestion and added a little sesame oil in the mix, and in the absence of the nectar I used orange/pinegapple juice. Marinaded for about 3 hours. Came out great!!
