Tomato Chicken Parmesan

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2008
Too good to be true! If you like chicken parmesan, you will L-O-V-E this recipe! It's painfully easy, yet it tastes like what you'd get at a restaurant. My DF tore this UP! I am definitely going to be adding this to our regular rotation. Also try serving on a bed of pasta with red sauce and chunky vegetables, like onion and zucchini. No matter how you serve it, this recipe is the bomb! Thanks!

Brownie Delight

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2008
This was pretty good, but honestly, this just isn't a recipe that I would use for anything formal or to impress anyone with your mad culinary artistry skills. It was just a bit too much all at once for me, and this is coming from a lifelong dessertaholic. I could only eat a little bit of it at a time because it was so sickeningly sweet. In my opinion, it's just too much and too clumsy of a recipe to make again. I was attracted by how easy it was to make, but the problem seems to be that you can TASTE how easy it was to make. But you never know how YOU will feel about it, so give it a shot anyway.

Sugar Cookie Icing

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2008
What a great recipe! This will be my primary cookie icing recipe from now on. The frosting finishes smooth and glossy, and the flavor is great. When fully dried, the frosting is durable enough to stack and not worry about, but it won't break your teeth when you bite into it, either....it's surprisingly soft in texture to eat. I used liquid food coloring in my last batch and it turned out just right and not runny at all. The colors were vivid and beautiful, and were easily mixed into the frosting. For professional-looking (and tasting) cookies, use this recipe. Experiment with different extracts and flavorings, such as berry and mint, as well. Perfect!

Caramelized-Onion Pork

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2008
hmmmm....caramelized onions--good. pork tenderloin---good. The 2 items mixed with no seasoning other than salt and pepper = a very bland and uninspired dinner. Sorry for my low stars, but this did nothing for me. It was basically plain pork with lovely onions on top. I will try something marinated next time, this was not worth the effort of pre-cooking the onions. I was hoping for so much more, based on the other good reviews.

Baked Buffalo Wings

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2008
We love hot wings at our house, but the deep frying is a giant pain, mess and bad for the hips. This recipe was very good. The wings were crisp and tasty. I did not dip them in the sauce before baking, just did the flour dredging and then refrig before baking. Also, forgot to spray my foil, so they stuck a bit, so I'm sure the non-stick spray is an important step. I tossed my cooked wings in the hot sauce/butter mixture and let it sit for about 10 min before serving. The wings stayed crisp and not soggy. i will make this again (BUT with the cooking spray!!). thanks, I'm sure we will be making these a lot with football season starting! *****Update***** spraying the pan with Pam or other spray is CRITICAL to make sure the wings don't stick. I forgot AGAIN the second time I made these and they really stuck, when I made a try with spray first, then placed the raw wings on, then cooked the first side, then sprayed again....It worked GREAT!

Best Ever Tuna Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2008
It took a little longer to throw it all together, but once you start eating it, it's hard to stop. I followed the recipe to the letter but added some diced Pimentos. The taste makes it a keeper for my family. Thanks.

Sausage Potato Medley

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2008
I was skeptical, but even my husband enjoyed this one (and he can be kind of harsh on new recipes!). I had a bunch of left over cooked sausage from the weekend which I chopped up and placed over the potato layer. I followed the rest of the recipe pretty close to how it was written, but added some extra spices (cajun blend) to the sauce. This was a great hearty meal and I bet it would be awesome with all pork sausage crumbled in it. A very yummy and versatile brunch or dinner!

Breaded, Fried, Softly Spiced Tofu

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2008
I had some tofu on hand that was going out of date and needed to make something. This recipe was a great use of it...I didn't have the yeast, but used some corn starch with the flour and spice mixture. I liked the results of this recipe, a good way to get some extra protein and the only fat was the small amount of oil used for frying. I dipped in a soy sauce/red chili pepper combo. yum!

Banana Sour Cream Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2008
Loved this recipe. I halved it, but used 2 eggs (it's hard to half an egg!). I baked 2 loaves at 325 for 70 minutes. I loved the dusting of sugar and cinnamon in the pan and also used some cinnamon sugar on top of the loaves. Very tender, yummy loaves! This is my new go to overripe banana recipe!

Ed Zieba's Famous Family Pork Chops

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2008
This is a great basic recipe for juicy, tender pork chops. I modified this recipe to include seasoning such as sage and a dash of garlic powder. I also poured a thin layer of honey barbeque sauce on top of each chop before I placed them in the oven. I used a single vidalia onion and it was more than enough for the whole pan. I also added a squeeze of lemon juice to the water in the pan. If you're afraid of serving the same dry, chewy pork chops everyone has regretfully endured at one point or another, try this recipe. The method of baking the chops in water is excellent and will be my base for all pork chop recipes. Try this recipe and modify it to make it your own.

Easy Beer Bread Mix

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2008
very good recipe. I just used 3 cups of self rising flour and no extra baking powder. I used a shiner beer and a little less than 1/4 butter melted on the top. thanks!

Connie's Zucchini 'Crab' Cakes

Reviewed: Jul. 26, 2008
these were very good. Don't fool yourself though, they are NOT going to taste like crab cakes!! However, they are very tasty zucchini cakes! I would recommend a couple of things.....First, take your shredded zucchini and place the pile into a kitchen towel. Then bring up all the corners into a bundle and squeeze it over the sink with all your might! You will have 1/2 cup of liquid or more come out. Second, add about 2 tsp or more of the Old Bay for seasoning. I used 1 1/2 tsp and still felt these were underseasoned. I also skipped the flour step and just placed my cakes right in the oil. very nice dish with some ranch and sour cream on the side. I'll have to try with cocktail sauce, too. thanks though, this was great to use one of those giant zucchinis from my garden that was too big to slice and needed to be shredded!

Zucchini Brownies

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2008
these were very good, but I found the chocolate flavor to be lacking. I think a cup of chocolate chips would be a great addition. I found the texture to be cakey, but moist and because of the lowfat ingredients, I will probably try this again. It is always nice serving something SLIGHTY healthier for a family dessert! great idea, thanks.

Banana Margaritas

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2008
I halved this recipe and used slightly less triple sec. I used one very ripe banana. I really liked the taste and texture of this drink. I agree with some of the reviewers that a small amounto of banana liqeur would realy pump up the banana flavor, but I really enjoyed the mild taste of this drink. It was tangy and sweet, with a bit of creaminess from the banana and a subtle and yummy banana taste. thanks for this idea!

Zucchini-Chocolate Chip Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2008
I followed some other reviewers and used 1/4 cup oil and 1/2 applesauce. The muffins were very moist and flavorful, loved them. I realized all my choc chips were gone after I'd started the recipe, so I used white Choc chips instead, and they tasted great. I bet butterscotch would be nice with the light cinnamon flavor as well. Great recipe, thanks!

Key Lime Pie VII

Reviewed: Jul. 7, 2008
A great recipe! I didn't follow the recipe exactly, though, because for something like key lime pie, you need to make it as sweet or as sour as reflects your preference. I added a little bit of lemon juice, splash of vanilla, and heavy whipping cream to my filling. I highly recommend making a homemade graham cracker crust, which I did, and I added a pinch of cinnamon to my crust as well. After the pie was out of the oven, I added an even sprinkling of crushed graham cracker crumbs, lime zest, and a twisted lime for decoration in the center. I served with homemade whipped cream on the side. The result was fantastic. Everyone raved about the pie and one key lime fan said it was the best she'd ever had. A great recipe, but remember to change it if you think it's too sweet or too sour as is - everyone has their preference.

excellent!!! We had a friend that always made these, and they are my favorite way to make good margaritas at home. Love that the ingredients are cheap and easy to have on hand.

Baked Zucchini Chips

Reviewed: Jul. 3, 2008
I loved this method for making zucchini chips....and we have a lot of it in the garden right now! I used a combo of panko and regular breadcrumbs and followed the advice of other reviewers who sprayed the pan and tops of the chips with some cooking spray. We gobbled down 2 pans full and I felt NO guilt!! I will make this again and again, tasted great with a dip of ranch and low fat sour cream. thanks for this great idea, I love being able to control the fat and avoid frying!

Chai Tea Mix

Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2008
I followed the other reviewers suggestions and cut the sugar by half. I also increased the cinnamon and ginger by 50% and made sure to add 3/4 tsp of white pepper to add some spice. This is a very good mix, but when the tea is made up, there is some spice/scum that floats on top and sticks to the edge of the mug. I still enjoy it though, and it's much cheaper than buying prepared mix. Also, I like that I control the sugar and fat, by choosing my ingredients. thanks!

Beer Margarita

Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2008
we know this as beer punch. We cut down the booze to 6 oz for a batch and it's also good with limade concentrate. After the 1st pitcher or two, we cut WAY back on the vodka, to avoid a too wild party, because these sneak up on you, BIG TIME!!! They are also good with rum or a light tequila. Make sure you have a designated driver!!!
