Toad in the Hole III

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
I liked it, my husband didn't. I added some seasonings other reviewers suggested, but they were still subtle.

Pot Stickers Traditional

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2009
I was a little afraid to try these because I knew they were going to be labor intensive. They were, but on the other hand the recipe makes a lot. (I made some for dinner and froze the rest). I was delighted at how well they turned out and am looking forward to eating the ones I froze. I wasn't crazy about the dipping sauce and preferred some plum sauce. Overall, these are winners.

Frosted Cranberries

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009
These make a beautiful garnish for a holiday dessert, or even to be eaten plain. Using the recipe directions they don't take any time at all to make, although they do require drying time. I found I couldn't resist grabbing a few every time I'd pass the counter where they were drying. They are delicious, with the sweet/tart combination and the crunch of the sugar coating.

Corn with a Kick

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009
I'm always looking for different ways to make corn, and this one is a winner. I added enough cayenne pepper to be able to know it was there, but not enough that it was really hot. It was part of our Thanksgiving meal and everyone seemed to like it. I'd definitely make it again.

Apple Bacon Tomato Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2009
This is an unusual blend of flavors that combine to make a delicious soup. I made it as directed except that I sauteed the celery with the onion and I added a little more beef stock. A nice way to use fall apples.

Pro Ganache

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2009
This gets 5 stars for taste, but mine never set up and remained very runny. I had put it on top of brownies and was unable to cut them ahead of eating because the ganache would have run off. This was disappointing since I was planning to give them to a friend.

Sweet Pepper Rice

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
I was looking for a rice recipe to pair with some shrimp that had been marinating in cajun spices all day. This worked well as it was mild and had lots of visual appeal. I added the peppers after 10 minutes of simmering and they were perfect. I used half oil and half butter to saute the rice, but it really didn't have much butter flavor. Next time I'll try 3 tbl of butter and 1 tlb of oil.

Toffee Caramel Squares

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2009
Very good, but could have used more caramel filling. Because you only use half a can of condensed milk, it would make sense to double the filling, but ooooh, the calories! Next time, I'll try with milk chocolate chips.

Sauteed Apples

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
Had these as a side dish with a ham slice. Perfect!

Pork Fried Rice for Two

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
This was a little bland and a lot dry. This dish is obviously meant to be healthy and low in fat but it really needed some sauce. We doused it in soy sauce, but that obscured the Chinese 5 spice powder.

Rich N Creamy Potato Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
While this was decadently wonderful, I don't think it would be any less wonderful if you cut back on the sour cream by at least a half a cup, reduced the butter by half, and eliminated the salt. And since it does taste like a baked potato swimming in sour cream, why not add some freshly chopped chives? With these modifications, I might not feel so guilty making this more often.

Herbed Dumplings

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009
While these tasted good, there was something wrong with the consistency. They were almost too fluffy, and pretty much dissoved in your mouth. I will keep looking.

Creamy Butternut Squash With Cinnamon Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009
I made this using leftover roasted butternut squash, so I had to modify the technique a bit. We liked the flavor, but all thought it was just too rich. I would recommend using milk rather than half and half. The apple slices as garnish add a nice touch.

Orange Yogurt Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009
More cake than bread, this was good but not really what I would normally eat for breakfast. It did seem rather dry at first, but it strangely moistened up the following day. The orange flavor was a bit weak, but then I did use dried orange rind rather than fresh.

Microwave Peanut Brittle

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2009
Perfect! It foams up so beautifully that the finished candy practically melts in your mouth, and it's so easy to make. I just wish it made a bigger batch! I made it for a fundraiser and plan to make another batch today because it's so good and easy. I get to eat all the pieces that are too small to sell. :-)

Pumpkin Pancakes

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2009
Five stars for the consistency of these pancakes, which is outstanding--light, thick, fluffy, and much thicker than pictured. But to my mind the taste was merely okay, which would be 3 stars. I guess the bottom line is that I don't care for pumpkin in pancakes.

Salmon and Rice Balls

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2009
Based on the previous review, I added some seasoning (Worcestershire sauce, dill, a little cayenne, and some parsley for color) to the recipe and I was pleased with the result. I did use the optional carrots. The sauce is very pale looking and I think a few drops of Kitchen Bouquet or the like would give it a better appearance. It's a comfort kind of food, and I would make it again.

Orzo with Chicken and Artichokes

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009
Absolutely delicious! Wonderful blend of many flavors. I used half the orzo as many suggested, but I think I'd use more next time. It's a keeper.

Mexican Rice II

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2009
I thought it was great and I'd definitely make it again! I never made Mexican Rice before and didn't realize how easy it was, and I liked that it wasn't salty, as so many packaged rice mixes are. I served it with some chipotle chicken enchilladas.
