Fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2006
Very good and very easy! I used this for the filling for a dark chocolate, double layer cake. I used about 1/2 for the filling and then frosted the cake with dark chocolate frosting and used the rest of the pb frosting to decorate the cake with. The frosting was yummy! I added a splash of vanilla and only needed a little splash of milk. Came out perfect!

Glazed Meatloaf II

Reviewed: Jun. 11, 2006
I loved this recipe. I've been making the same meatloaf recipe for 20 years and my family loves it. I personally never really liked it...LOL I decided to try something new and this recipe was exactly what I was looking for. When I saw the lemon juice I thought it was kind of odd, but it actually was great in this recipe. It's very subtle. Just a hint of lemon and it made the meatloaf very tasty. I used regular white bread and I tore it by hand into very, very, small pieces. The only complaints I got were from my husband who thought the sauce on top was too much and too sweet. He didn't complain about the sauce in the meatloaf, only on top. Myself, I thought it was awesome. I will make my meatloaf from this recipe from now on. Just next time I will not put so much sauce on top.

Grilled Swordfish with Rosemary

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2006
This is our family's favorite swordfish recipe, but you do have to marinate longer than what recipe calls for to get the flavor of the marinade. Excellent recipe!!!

Monkey Peanut Butter Bars

Reviewed: May 31, 2006
OK, I made these and they were very good. My family loved them. They weren't a brownie type thing that I was looking for, but they were very good. Changes I made were... I used more peanut butter because i really wnated the peanut butter taste. It didn't help. The oatmeal overpowered the peanut butter. They were good though, just not as peanut buttery as I would have liked. I did use semi-sweet chocolate chips, and omitted the peanut butter frosing as suggested by other people here, because it did seem too sweet for me when I read the recipe. They were very good, but next time I will use milk chocoalte chips instead of semi sweet and I will use the frosting. BTW.... everyone who tried them absolutely loved them. My husband was glad to have something different and he liked them alot also. I will definitely make them again. I will make them again, but make some minor changes next time.

Grilled Delmonico Steaks

Reviewed: May 27, 2006
I thought this recipe was delicious. I just made a few changes... I did cut down on the salt since the soy sauce has a ton of salt already and the grill seasoning I use has salt also. I did not have steak sauce so I substituted ketchup. Lastly I used sirloin steaks, but upon opening the package it wasn't the best sirloin I've ever bought and i thought it could really use some tenderizing, so I added a splash of lemon juice for the acidity to tenderize. I didn't taste the lemon juice at all and in fact after testing it I added another splash just to be on the safe side. I don't think it affected the taste at all. I marinated the steaks overnight, threw them on the grill the next day. Everyone loved them. The marinade was just enought to season and tenderize without overpowering.

Amelia's Tuna Macaroni Salad

Reviewed: May 27, 2006
My husband hates macaroni salad. My family loves the one I make and they ask me to make it at every family function. I decided that I would try something new to make for my husband so he might finally decide he likes mac salad. It took every ounce of energy for me to not take a big bowl for myself and eat it right there and then. I followed the recipe almost exactly. I realized I only had a little bit of relish left, so I decided to dice up a pickle. I filled each TBLS with the finely diced pickle and then filled the rest of the spoon with the pickle juice. I did this twice, the recipe called for 2 TBLS of relish. I decided to add 2 diced eggs to the salad and I boiled 4 more and made deviled eggs as a garnish. I had to add a litte more mayo and I think the reason is because I had a 16oz box of macaroni. I guessed at the 12oz measurement, but I may have been over a little bit. This recipe is perfect. I can't wait for my hubby to try it tomorrow. I think this might be one that he finally likes :) I will post again tomorrow and give his opinion. I think it is absolutely delicious. *edited to add... My husband LOVED IT! I finally asked him what he thought. "I like it. It's pretty good." That's a 5 star rating coming from him. I promised to make this mac salad from now on. He hates Macaroni salad so if he liked it, well you decide from there. BTW everyone else raved about it. It was really good. This is gonna be my signature mac salad from now on.

Pleasant Pork Chops

Reviewed: Apr. 20, 2006
Well I thought this sounded good. I love sour cream and had some pork chops so I gave it a try today. The sauce was delicious, though I added mushrooms and extra sour cream. The pork chops, however were like tire rubber. I followed the instructions exactly. I don't know what went wrong, but I won't be making these again because of that reason. The sauce was delicious, but it was basicly nothing more than a simple beef stroganoff sauce. Next time I'm in the mood for sour cream, I'll just make that. I only gave it a 3 because of the sauce.

Iced Pumpkin Blondies

Reviewed: Apr. 5, 2006
These were really tasty, but were kind of cakey which was still good, but not what the name implies. I read the reviews before i made them and saw some people say they were cakey so i decided to try and make a couple of changes. First, I reduced the baking powder slightly and second I beat everything by hand. They still came out cakey, maybe slightly less than the others, I don't know, but still cakey. That said, they were VERY DELICIOUS. Next time I make them I may add a little more cinnamon or maybe some ginger. They could have been just a touch more spicey for my liking, but they were still good. I also baked them in a 13x9 glass pan because it is all that I had. As a result I needed to bake them for almost twice as long as the suggested time. They still came out moist though. Anyhow, I would recommend this recipe and only gave it 4 stars because of the cakiness. I was looking for something more brownie like.

Blonde Brownies I

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2006
This recipe is just like the one I made years ago and I could never find it again. It came out perfectly. Nice and chewy, not too cakey, not too sweet. I doubled the recipes and I did cut down on the baking powder some. It seemed like a lot to me. I think I used about 3/4 of the recommended amount maybe a little bit less. I also used brownulated light brown sugar. Ya know, the one that pours ;). Oh, yeah, I cooked them in a 13x9 glass pan and did spray the pan lightly with cooking spray I also cooked them for slightly longer than the suggested time. My oven is brand new so I know the temperature is correct. They needed an extra 10 minutes or so. They came out excellent. Perfect.

Yummy Cube Steaks

Reviewed: Jun. 27, 2005
I was looking for a swiss steak recipe and this came up in my search. It was very delicious. My husband loved it and he is the biggest critic of them all :) Skipped the tomato sauce because I didn't have it on hand. Added a little bit of sliced green pepper and some garlic. The steaks came out nice and tender, and I hate cube steak, the sauce came out very tasty. I will make this again.

Bottom Round Roast with Onion Gravy

Reviewed: Jun. 27, 2005
The meat was way over cooked and the gravy had no flavor. The reviews I read said the onions caramalized. No. What happened is the onions turned to onion soup on the bottom of the pan. I added flour to try to make gravy, but it was awful. No flavor at all except for onion. I managed to salvage the meal by adding some boullion (sp?) and some spices and a little more flour to the "gravy". I sliced up the roast, poured the "gravy" over it and served it with mashed potatos. My husband hated it and I wasn't very impressed either. I won't make this again.

Sausage Potato Bake

Reviewed: May 31, 2005
Absolutely delicious! I added some carrots and used sweet italian sausage. My family loved it! I just want to add... It's been a year since I first made this and it has become a regular meal in my house. We have it at leat once a month. We all love it and it comes out perfect everytime. Very eay prep. A long cooking time, but hey, it gives me time to do other things since it is basically set it and forget it. You really can't mess this up and it is soooo tasty. Makes it's own gravy too. The only thing I might suggest since I do it in the oven id to take the foil of for the last 15 or 20 minutes to let the top brown. It is a little too much food for my small family but I still make the full recipe, in fact I might even increase it a bit, but it freezes well, so I don't mind.
