Cream Cheese Frosting II

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2009
This is a great frosting for the holiday's when you are baking more than one cake. I used this for my Red Velvet and my Pumpkin cake for my family's Christmas Dinner. They all loved the frosting and the cakes. Thanks to those who contribute to make allrecipes.com so great!!

No Fry Crab Rangoon

Reviewed: Jun. 10, 2009
These taste very close to the ones available at a local buffet. I thought the onion was a bit overwhelming -- next time I'll cut back to maybe 1 or 2-teaspoons, finely minced. I made two batches -- one with crab, and one without. Either way they tasted good. You MUST squeeze out all the air and seal well, or the filling will leak out. I think if you stuck a pin in the middle of each one before baking, the filling wouldn't leak out. I sprayed with butter flavored cooking spray before baking. They would be awesome if deep fried.

Roast Beef with Coffee

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2009
I also tweaked the recipe quite a bit but the result was fantastic! First, I soaked the meat overnight in a mix of red cooking wine and balsamic vinegar. After rinsing off the marinade and stuffing the roast with the garlic, I seasoned it with garlic salt, oregano, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes then browned it for about 10 minutes. Then it went in with some potatoes and onions. It smelled great while it cooked and it tasted wonderful. The gravy turned out nicely, as well. I'll be making this again.

Zucchini Casserole I

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2009
Great dish! Everyone loved it. I only had 4 cups of zucchini so I added a peeled, diced eggplant. Some people complained of 1/2 cup oil being too much but I kept it the same since the eggplant would soak up much of the oil. I also used Italian seasoned bread crumbs After mixing all ingredients, I was a bit concerned about the dryness of the mixture but it turned out great.

Creole Black-Eyed Peas and Rice

Reviewed: May 31, 2009
This was superb and very easy! I didn't use any meat since I was in charge of the side dish to go with our ribs. I also used dry beans that had been soaked and cooked already. I didn't have Creole seasoning, per se, so I used Blackened seasoning (1 tbsp) and Jalepeno seasoning (~1/2 tbsp) instead. It definately had some kick to it!

Corn Tortillas

Reviewed: May 31, 2009
Pretty good stuff. I did add a little salt to my dough. Having trouble separating the plastic from the tortilla? Hold the tortilla (with plastic on both sides) in one hand and gently peel the plastic away from the tortilla (NOT the tortilla from the plastic. Then flip tortilla to the other hand and repeat.

Connie's Zucchini 'Crab' Cakes

Reviewed: May 20, 2009
YUM! I've been looking for meat substitutes in meals and this is a good one. Husband and kids liked also. Would also make a good appetizer if entertaining. I did not have a problem with them being soggy- but I did squeeze some of the liquid out of the zucchini and I also added dried minced onion to one batch (perhaps that helped absorb some of the moisture?).

Clone of a Cinnabon

Reviewed: May 18, 2009
Being pressed for time, I only used the dough part of this recipe and did not use a bread machine. However, I was able to serve my guests warm, delicious cinnamon rolls in under 1 hour -- from start to finish. I simply mixed the dry ingredients together (including the yeast)in the KitchenAid bowl, then added the wet ingredients (after melting the butter & warming the milk). While the mixer kneaded the dough, I applied baking spray to the pan. Rolled out the dough, spread it with butter and sprinkled it with brown sugar, cinnamon and some raisins. Rolled & cut with dental floss (which I learned from other reviewers) and placed in the pan to raise for about 40 minutes. Baked as directed. While the rolls baked, I washed up the utensils used. After removing the rolls from the oven, I spread half the rolls with canned chocolate frosting and the other canned "whipped" frosting. The whipped frosting was good, but cream cheese frosting would have been awesome. Since they were delicious using all these shortcuts, I'm sure they are amazing using the bread machine method, allowing the dough to develop more.

Sturdy Whipped Cream Frosting

Reviewed: May 7, 2009
The word "sturdy" caught my eye in the name of this recipe, so I tried it -- twice. The recipe failed both times. The first time, I whipped the cream cheese a very long time until it was light and fluffy. The finished result had a consistency of Cool Whip (with a much better taste), but was definitely NOT sturdy. So, I tried adding a bit of additional sugar to stiffen up the mixture. It immediately disintegrated into a gloppy bowl of sweet cream butter and buttermilk. Being a glutten for punishment I tried again. The 2nd time I added an envelope of whipped topping mix. Again it failed, never reaching any kind of "peaked" consistency. I wasted a quart of whipping cream and a pound of cream cheese. Normally, making whipped cream from scratch requires absolutely fat-free bowl & utensils. So, a recipe that combines cream cheese & whipping cream defies the odds. But, with all the good reviews, I thought I would try it. I wonder about those reviews. Where do they live? I live in Florida. Perhaps that's the difference? Although I do agree, it would make a great dip for fruit.

Cinnamon Coffee Cake II

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2009
My husband and daughter loved this recipe. It was very moist, but I might try changing the topping next time. I didn't care for the topping in this recipe but the cake part came out great. It also took a bit longer than stated to cook, by about 15 minutes.

Moroccan Lamb Kabobs

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2009
Easy and tasty. I would have given it a 5-stars, but I thought 3/4-tablespoon cayenne pepper was way over the top. The cayenne pepper was decreased to 1/2-teaspoon. I didn't make kabobs, but formed mixture into meatballs and broiled them instead. I bet this mixture would make some awesome burgers -- or sauteed and spread over a pizza.

Egg Noodles

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2009
This recipe is a staple in my home. It's so versatile. I add poultry seasoning when making noodles for chicken soup, and add garlic powder & basil when making noodles for use in Italian dishes. And for the occasional kid-friendly treat I divide the dough into 2 to 4 batches, and add a different food color to each batch. Serve cooked noodles with butter -- and watch the children go wild. (Haha. Children are so easy to please.) I can offer some insight to making great noodles: Don't add baking powder, as some folks have suggested, unless you like a really thick (more dumpling style) noodle. Working the dough too much, and not adding butter or oil will result in tough, rubbery noodle. Divide the dough into batches, and roll each batch. This helps in rolling the noodles very thin. The thinner the better (unless you're making chicken & dumplings). Happy cooking!

Pork Chops for the Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2009
Other reviewers were correct about decreasing the amount of soy sauce. I decreased it by half, and still found the chops to be very salty. I will probably make this again, but with adjustments. It did go very well with the Restaurant Style Fried Rice (also on this site).

Fried Rice Restaurant Style

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2009
Excellent and easy. This was my first time making fried rice. I added chopped onions and freshly minced garlic. I was glad that I waited until I purchased sesame oil before making the dish. Other reviewers are correct -- don't omit the sesame oil as it really does make the dish.
