Blackened Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2009
I used this seasoning for Tilapia instead of Chicken. I also sauteed it in a non-stick pan with olive oil, as I don't have a cast iron skillet. I have a very happy hubby (sounds like a song title!) sitting next to me, he said "wow that's great fish... what'd you do to it" :-) Thanks Karena for a simple tasty seasoning for chicken or fish!

Chipotle Crusted Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009
Very good! I put the pork on the grill wrapped in foil till the end, then I cooked it over the flames. I overcooked my pork, so it ended up being dry, but the flavor was delicious! If it wasn't so dry, I was going to use it for pork tacos, and next time I will make sure I can do that.

Grandmother's Cheesecake

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009
Well this was a lot of work! But it was my first homemade cheesecake, so maybe they are all like this. It turned out very good. The crust, however, was very overcooked. Next time I am going to skip the first part of baking the crust, or cut the time in half, because the crust in the end was a dark brown and dry. The cheesecake baked well though, and had a very light taste and texture. Very good, but again, a lot of work.

Chocolate Frosting II

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009
I didn't like this too much. I tasted too much like powdered sugar. I added about 6 oz. of cream cheese though, and that made it pretty good. I used it on a cake that I made the egg white receipe for, and colored for my cousin's Birthday. It did turn out good as a chocolate cream cheese frosting!

Caramel Apple Crumble Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009
This turned out fabulous! I doubled the recipe and made two pies, and they were delicious. Gave the other between family and friends. I took a lot of the reviews and added flour to the bottom of the pie and 1 tsp cornstarch to thicken it up. I wasn't runny at all! I also omitted the caramel during the baking process, since everyone said you couldn't taste it. I added the caramel on each piece before serving, and you still couldn't really taste it over all the other flavors, but with vanilla ice cream it was great. I took a tip off the pie shell box and after baking for 15 minutes, I put foil around the crust's edges, and they baked perfect! Will be making this again next year.

Jalepeno Cheese Dip

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009
I have to admit, I didn't stay completely to the recipe. I omitted the mayo because we love the taste of cream cheese and omitted the mozzarella and used only cheddar because it was all we had. We also didn't have fresh garlic, and substituted granulated garlic powder. Fresh garlic would have made this much better, but the dip turned out great! Gone in and hour. It is definitely better warm, and with stood two warm-ups. I blended the cream cheese with the garlic powder and diced jalapenos (I used 3 for extra flavor). It was creamy and not overly spicey. Used Ritz crackers, it was a hit, will definitely make again, just with fresh garlic.

Spiced Pumpkin Molasses Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2009
OK, I really wanted to like these muffins. They have healthy ingredients and are fun to make. But, the taste did not appeal to me and my family! I made the first batch, exactly as the recipe said and after one bite did not eat them. A couple of weeks later I thought I must have made an error somewhere, so darn if I didn't make them again. This is a lot of preparation work folks! This time they were a little dry ( I overcooked them to get to the point where an inserted toothpick came out clean) but the real problem was the clove flavor- way too strong. I would leave this out. Second thing- the pumpkin seeds are tough as nails! Why put these on there? Anyway, my very non-picky family didn't finish even one muffin. My opinon, I know some reviewers liked them.

Firecracker Grilled Alaska Salmon

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2009
It seems we constantly hear to eat "fish, fish and more fish"! And with Salmon leading the nutritional pack I set off in search of a recipe my husband and I couldn't rationalize our way out of... ha! My tips are: I use Sea Salt -- great flavor. I also used Tamari in place of Soy Sauce (it's still soy sauce, just a much smoother version). Agave Nectar is so much easier on my blood sugar than brown sugar, and it sweetened it just fine! And there are some that leave out the red pepper flakes, but be brave :-) It looks like alot, but the flakes don't make it THAT spicy, just adds to the flavor. Thanks for a restaurant quality recipe Christine!

Fierro Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2009
This really is very good, however we were surprised how *not* spicy it is. Next time we will definitely use the medium or hot enchilada sauce if that's even enough. The cream and cream cheese really take out any of the heat in this dish. One more thing, next time I will dice the chicken as the flavor is so much better when the sauce surrounds the chicken. With those changes (for me), this is a keeper! Thanks Kerri :)

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2009
I like the lightness of this bread, I am not a fan of dense banana bread. I did add spices as others suggested. I added 1/2 T. cinnamon, a little allspice, and a little ground nutmeg. The flavor is not bad. To add a little bit of extra flavor, I topped it with a mixture of rolled oats, butter, and some brown sugar. Make sure the topping isn't too thick, or the bread won't cook right. The topping needs to bake at least 1 hour.

Pumpkin Bread IV

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2008
This is the best pumpkin bread with these changes! Double the spices (except for cloves... they are very strong and will overpower). Top with a simple crumb streusel (flour, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon & walnuts). Just had a nice slice of this wonderful bread warm out of the oven, with some freshly ground starbucks whole bean Sumatra. Heaven on Earth! P.S. I individually sliced and froze the extras so I can take to work and not spend $$ at the coffee shop ;) Enjoy!

Sausage Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2008
This is very, VERY good. I made it for a house full during the holidays and there wasn't a morsel left! My relatives were all asking for the recipe! OK, I think the reason some reviewers say it's too dry is that they bake the potato mixture first. The recipe does not call for this. Pre-baking the potatoes not only dries out the casserole, it shortens the total baking time which doesn't allow for the onion to soften (some reviewers complain that the onion doesn't cook all the way). Oh, and my little nephew (who is gluten intolerant) was thrilled that he could eat what everyone else was eating! Most breakfast casseroles call for bread. Follow the recipe exactly, for a terrific Breakfast Casserole. Thanks!

Seven Layer Taco Dip

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2008
Let's face it, this is a party dip and aren't we all looking for something to WOW our guests? Well, there's no WOW factor in this one. I think the sour cream and cream cheese are too bland and bring the dish down in flavor. Will keep looking for another recipe. Not sure why this has such great reviews... maybe they are rating this WITH changes?

Microwaved Potatoes Lyonnaise

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2008
Oh my are these good. My husband said he honestly can't tell the difference between these and the Lyonnaise potatoes at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. I was looking for a potato side dish to make in the microwave while a pork loin was roasting in the oven. My tips: I doubled the onion, thinly sliced three fresh cloves of garlic, used 4 TBSP real butter, left the potato skins on, and my best tip is to use red pepper. Even if you don't like hot things, it doesn't really make it hot, just brings out the flavor. I use my palm to sprinkle the red pepper in first, and THEN add to dish. Just wash hands so you don't get pepper in eyes. These are a keeper... thank you! Enjoy!

Boilermaker Tailgate Chili

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2008
This is indeed great chili! The only issue I had is by the time it was done cooking, the canned chili beans were disentegrated. It was barely simmering too so I know the heat wasn't too high. Next time I'll add the juice of the beans, but wait to add the actual beans until it's done. Because I always get requests from my husband for "that El Tovar Chili" (awesome Chili at a Grand Canyon Restaurant), I used cubed chuck roast instead of the ground beef. Be alerted if you do this, it ends up more "soupy". I guess because the ground beef takes up more space. We ate this all weekend and we're not tired of it yet! Tonight I'll freeze the rest after making Taco Salad with this great Chili. Thanks so much for the awesome recipe!!

Strawberry Spinach Salad I

Reviewed: Jun. 10, 2008
Get your taste buds prepared for a sweet - not savory - salad. It is a refreshing change from the norm. I added 1/4 C. more Balsamic Vinegar, and double the onion. I also added grilled chicken to make it a meal. Just terrific!

Snickerdoodles I

Reviewed: May 12, 2008
I have never had any Snickerdoodles before, but these were wonderful! I thought they were best right out of the oven. They're my boyfriend's favorite kind of cookie, and he loved them. I also took the added note from a member of sticking a piece of bread in a zip lock bag to keep the cookies fresh, and it really did help. They lasted a long time. This does make a big batch though, so make sure there is somewhere for them to go :)

Chicken Pot Pie VI

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2008
This was an absolute hit! Everyone loved it. Leftovers barely made it to the next day. I did not have any poultry seasoning on hand, so I just skipped that part, but it still turned out wonderful. The only thing that would have made this better, a homemade crust.

Chicken and Corn Chili

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2008
I made this as a healthy, low-fat hot lunch that I could enjoy at work. As it was cooking today, I loved the aroma and--I admit it--I had to life the slow-cooker lid a few times to taste it. I can't wait to have some at lunch! I did add a can of tomatoes with green peppers and onions, as well as about 1.5 cups of vegetable broth to thin out the texture a bit, to meet my preferences.

Brooklyn Girl's Penne Arrabiata

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2008
Awesome! My hubby ate two helpings. It was easy and tasted sooo good with some crusty bread. I didn't think the red pepper flakes made it too spicy, I thought it was just right! Loved it!
