Ultimate Turtle Cheesecake

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2008
This was a hit! I changed it up a bit by not using the chocolate crust and I added walnuts and caramel along with the pecans and chocolate. Loved it!

Beer Butt Chicken

Reviewed: May 26, 2008
Didn't make this "as is" (I seem to never do!!). Used just minced garlic in a 1/2 can of beer. For the outside, I rubbed the chicken with a little olive oil. Then rubbed on some of Emeril's Essence (recipe found on Foodnetwork, sorry allrecipes... and the result was outstanding. I had a 7-8 pound chicken, cooked it on the grill for 2 hours at a temp of 400, cooked internally to 180. Very good. Thanks!!!

Oven Roasted Potatoes

Reviewed: May 25, 2008
I have simplified this recipe as follows: a couple to three TBSP of olive oil, some herbes de provence (eyeball it) and some salt and pepper. Bake 350 (convection oven) for about an hour give or take. Depends on how crispy you like it. I was also cooking rempels meatloaf and asparagus and garlic (can't remember the exact recipe ) at the same time.... These are the best oven roasted potatoes I've ever eaten,, so good.

Mussels Mariniere

Very good! The only mussels recipe I use. The only thing I didn't have was the bay leaf! I think the thyme was the key ingredient!

Balsamic-Glazed Salmon Fillets

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2008
My husband and I cook salmon alot during the warm months on the grill, but I was looking for a different recipe...and voila!! This was it. I wasn't sure of the soy sauce in the recipe and how it would compliment the fish, but I tried this, just eyeballing the ingredients (I hardly ever measure anymore!!) and used every ingredient listed. I had to bake it about 5 - 8 minutes longer than stated, but that was the only difference. We both said it was even better than the recipe we use to cook it on the grill. This will become our main salmon recipe from here on in. Thanks for a great tasting recipe!!

Busy Day Chicken Rice Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2008
used minced garlic instead of powder; used white wine instead of water. Mixed all together (sauce ingredients) and poured over chopped asparagus in a baking dish. Saved some sauce to place over the chicken, then added the dry soup. Was good, but asparagus not cooked well even after 1 1/2 hours. Will try this with green beans next time. White wine was definitely the key addition here!!

Pork Chops Deluxe

Reviewed: Apr. 5, 2008
I did change around the recipe based on other's reviews.....I omitted the mushrooms, added white wine instead of the water to scrape up the brown bits, it gave it more flavor... Added more onion, seasoned the chops with the salt before browning... I didn't have dijon mustard, but spicy brown mustard which was just as good... Added a touch more white wine to the cooking...everyone thought it was good, but son-in-law thought it was so-so, he's very picky.... But it was excellent in all the rest of our opinions.. Thanks for a great recipe!!!!

Wild Rice Casserole

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2008
WOW this is scrumptious, according to my DH. He LOVED it!!!! I added 2 packages of rice to it, as other other readers suggested, and left out the almonds. but other than that, it is great. I cooked it for 1 1/2 hours and it was perfect!!! Soooo good... thanks for the recipe... Updated 3/31/08, just to add, this was salty, probably too much so, but I think that could be taken care of by adding just one of the packets of the seasoning mixes that comes with the rice, instead of adding two. Just a thought - I will do that next time I make this, and there WILL be a next time!!!

Fried Egg Sandwich

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2008
I haven't made this version with the ketchup, but make my own fried eggs to medium doneness, throw on a slice of American cheese to the cooked egg; use MW bacon (4 slices to 2 sandwiches) and toast English Muffins (whole grain), butter them and assemble. Sooo much better than McD's bacon egg and cheese sandwiches, and quick and easy.

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2007
I made this recipe for my family and they thought this was awesome, by far the best pot roast I've made. I did make some revisions, taking into account comments of previous raters. I added a 2 lb bag of baby carrots (probably could of just used 1 pound), 6 or 7 small whole red potatoes, 4 quartered onions, several chopped celery sticks, 4 heaping tablespoons of minced garlic (we LOVE garlic), 3/4 c. red wine instead of the water (DEFINITELY a good suggestion), crushed peppercorns, 3 bay leaves. I mixed the wine and soups together, poured some of the mixture over the veggies, then put the meat in, then poured the rest of the soup mixture on the meat. Finish with plenty of crushed peppercorns over the top!! I also cooked it for 6 hours. Definitely the BEST I've ever tasted.

Marinade for Steak I

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2007
Awesome marinade for our ribeyes that we cooked on the grill. I didn't change a single ingredient. I only marinated them for about an hour and a half, next time I plan to try it overnight to see how they come out. Thanks for a great recipe!!!

Foil Potatoes

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2007
These were very good, moist and flavorful. Whole family said they were the best baked potato I had ever made. The only thing I did was leave off the salt, as I usually don't cook with it anyway. I put about one tsp of butter between the two halves of potatoe and sprinkled with garlic powder. 40 min was plenty of time, but I do have a convection oven, so I don't know if that makes a difference. They taste great reheated too!! :)

Easy Delicious Old Fashioned Cole Slaw Dressing

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2007
I have been making the same cole slaw recipe for years and everyone in my family loves it and actually requests it for any family gathering. I decided to look for something new because even though my whole family loves it my hubby never really cared for it and I wanted to find something he would like too. When I saw the ingredients I thought to myself "No way." Honestly it ended up being my only alternative for that day due to the ingredients I had available. I decided to try it. I changed the original recipe a little. I used mayonaise instead of creamy dressing and I used 1 cup of whole milk instead of 1/2 cup of buttermilk and 1/2 whole milk. Because of that I also added more vinegar. Look up substitutions on google and you'll see why. The recipe turned out awesome!!! This is the first time in over 35 years of marriage that my hubby actually liked cole slaw. He even asked me to save him some for his lunch the next day! The recipe calls for buttermilk.... you don't need it. Just use whole milk and then add vinegar to taste. There is a formula to substitute whole milk for buttermilk but trust me, just add vinegar to taste. The only other person who had anything to say about this recipe was my Dad who thought there should be some horse radish added. I hate horse radish. My Dad thought it would have been PERFECT with a little "smidge". All in all, I give this a 5. I will use this recipe from now on BTW.. it tastes even better the next day.

American Shepherd's Pie

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2007
I have made my own version of shepherds pie for years. I did like the idea of this recipe, but didn't have the vegetable soup. So I used cream of mushroom. Also, I used ground moose meat for this shepherds pie - delicious, and much less greasy. I also added a can of corn to the meat mixture - family preference. Omitted the cheese as the family doesn't like it.

Chicken Alfredo

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2006
Delicious! I gave it 4 stars only because I made a few changes to suit my taste but the idea is still great! I would have never thought of using cream cheese. I changed the proportions a bit because of what I had on hand and the fact that the amount of servings indicated didn't look right to me. I used one pound of ziti, 1 large pkg frozen broccoli and left out the other vegetables. I used 5 cloves minced garlic. As for the sauce, I used one 8oz pkg cream cheese and 1 stick of margarine then I added milk until it got to the consistency I preferred. I'm not sure how much exactly, but I would guess about 1 cup. I added the frozen broccoli to the pasta just before the pasta was done. I let it cook a couple of minutes more and then I drained it and tossed with a little olive oil. I placed some pasta and broccoli on the plate, laid a sliced chicken breast on top, (I just roasted those in the oven) and then poured the sauce on top and finished it off with a sprinke of fresh parmesan cheese. EXCELLENT!!

Cream Cheese Frosting II

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2006
Very good. I think the 4 c. of sugar would have made this a little too sweet. I used only 3 and it was perfect and made plenty for my purpose (Best Carrot Cake Ever, also from this site - I made muffins and there was PLENTY of frosting with a bit of leftover!!!!!) I added for extra flavor 1/8 tsp of allspice to the frosting and it gave the frosting such a nice taste to go along with the muffins. Thanks for a great recipe!

Best Carrot Cake Ever

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2006
I followed this recipe to the letter and it turned out fantastic. I had a carrot cake recipe (which I lost) that the family always loved, but they like this one better, this is not as oily as my last one. Instead of making a cake with this recipe. I made muffins - baked @ 325 in my convection oven for 23 minutes. It made about 30 muffins and they were awesome with the cream cheese frosting also from this site.
