Slow Cooker Carnitas

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009
A total hit with my family! My 2 and 5 year old and my Husband loved it. They called me a Star after serving this one with taco fixings! For a 6.5 lb. pork shoulder blade roast, I did triple each of the seasonings, leaving the salt and cinnamon as recommended for that size. And added fresh cilantro to the crockpot per our preference. Cooked on low for 10 hours. Just before serving, shredded it and put in the oven @ 400 degrees for 20 min with a cup of broth poured around it to crisp it. Looking forward to making it again soon! This was super affordable to make with plenty to freeze!

Vegan Red Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009
I thought this was good, but not as spectacular as some of the reviewers made it out to be. This makes a very thick soup and has a unique flavor. If you like squash and cilantro you will probably like it. It tastes better fresh and isn't nearly as good as leftovers. I made this mostly according to recipe except without fenugreek seeds which I couldn't find. Also I used a whole can of lite coconut milk. My roommate thought this was good but not substantial enough for a meal.

Fettuccini with Mushroom, Ham and Rose Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009
Very good. I couldn't wait until it thickened and simmered down because we were hungry and it looked so good, but you know what... it didn't matter.... it was still delicious! The only change I made was I added a little Parmesan cheese to the sauce. The ham I chose to use was a smoked ham from the deli that I had cut thick, it had a peppered outside and added a nice depth of flavor. Very good dish. I used different pasta and not fettuccine because of my preference.

Crescent Beef Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2009
This was pretty good. The more I ate it the more I wanted. I followed some suggestions and browned the mashed potatoes in the pan first to make the crust firmer. I added garlic to the veggies and found I needed a bit more tomato puree than stated. (about 2 cups once simmered). For feta I used the tomato and basil flavored kind and it seemed to add a nice flavor. I will make again.... if I change anything next time it will be to use tomato paste and sauce instead.

Cranberry Apple Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2009
Very tasty! The batter is thick like a cookie dough, but I wasn't scared and went ahead and followed directions. Came out wonderful! Didn't change a thing and I'm glad. I will definitely be making again One note: when I cut into it, it wasn't done. Needed more cooking time than stated.

Grandma's Gingersnaps

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2009
I cut the ginger down by about 3/4 tsp (personal preference) and substituted pure maple syrup for molasses because it's what i had on hand. They are heavenly!!! Cooked for 8-9 minutes and they are crispy on the pan side and chewy in the middle. Yum. Mine came out quite flat though, but maybe my baking soda was too old.

Green Punch

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2009
Way too sugary! I must admit i modified the recipe quite a bit, but i still found this to be too sweet. I used a whole can of pineapple juice, 1 can of frozen OJ, 2 packets of lime jello as advised, and 2 liters of lime flavored seltzer water (no sugar) instead of gingerale in order to give it some fizz. For someone not used to eating/drinking a lot of sugary items, it was just completely overwhelming. Three stars though because it was a *great* color for halloween and a lot of fun :)

Persian Cucumber Yogurt (Maast-o Khiar)

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2009
I feel the recipe calls for too much cucumber. Also, I guess I have to thank this recipe for teaching me that Im not a fan of dillweed. I never tried it but now I know. I prefer another tzatziki recipe thats simpler; it is mostly yogurt, garlic, salt. No offense, just not my taste.

Middle Eastern Rice with Black Beans and Chickpeas

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2009
I followed the recipe except that I reduced the beans and stock, and cooked half the spices with the meat and the other half with the rice as per several reviewers' suggestions . It was ok. Im sure this tastes good for the recipe it is; maybe Im just not crazy about this particular spice combination--although I like Middle Eastern spicing. If I were to make it again I'd probably add raisins and some cinnamon, just to give it some contrasting flavor-- needs a little sweetness or something. I added a generous squirt of ketchup, maybe it was my attempt to add some sweetness.

Tuscan Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2009
I've made this twice now, and it has come out perfect both times. I really enjoy the smooth broth and the spicy sausage. I used poultry sausage both times and I am extremely pleased with the results.

Vegetarian Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2009
Really good tortilla soup! We loved this one, and have been eating it all week. I made a couple simple changes - only 2 cans of green chilies and added some crushed red pepper. I also added about 1/3 of a cup of lime juice. Right before serving when I added the avo and cheese, I also put in some fresh cilantro. The combination of flavors made this soup truly amazing.

Apple Dumpling Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009
Loved this! The only changes I made were to add some brown sugar on top of the apples and to top the batter with cinnamon sugar. Very good! Loved the apples, they were tender and sweet and the "dumpling" part was really tasty! I will definitely make again.

Chocolate Pudding Fudge Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2009
Yummy and very very chocolaty. Reduced amount of chocolate chips and didn't make the glaze as it was so rich without it, I felt it didn't need it. Mine needed to be baked a bit longer than it stated. Nice treat and very easy!

almost a dead ringer for Mom's recipe...except, she added a half a bottle of beer,apples from Grandpa's orchard (whatever we had in the fruit cellar),chopped onion, and served it with homemade mashed potatoes..for some reason I remember the pressure cooker being used....(maybe that was on days she was late starting supper..!)anyway....an excellent meal and brought back wonderful dinnertime memories and smells. Like a trip into the past.....thanks

Fudge

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2009
Deliciously smooth...never quite set up like I'm used to, but tasted great enough to make up for that! I used generic store brand chips (didn't even splurge for Nestle), and didn't have any trouble with taste or waxiness. I used 2 c. milk chocolate chips with 2/3 of the butter and condensed milk called for, microwaved them together just until melted, then stirred in ~3/4 c. chopped walnuts and 1 tsp. almond extract. Poured it in a foil-lined, greased 9x9. Then microwaved together 1 c. white chocolate chips with 1/3 the butter and condensed milk called for until melted, and stirred in 1 drop red food coloring, 2 drops yellow food coloring, and 1/2 tsp orange extract. Poured it on top of the milk chocolate layer, then marbled with a knife. Everyone loved it! Can't wait to try an Almond Joy version...
