Summer Beer I

Reviewed: Jun. 1, 2008
this is the same recipe we have been making for years. we usually just serve it on the rocks and it is just as good. Beware, these pack a punch! We usually make the second and third pitchers with less (or no!) vodka. Also good with rum or white tequila.

Easy Slow Cooker French Dip

Reviewed: May 13, 2008
good dipping liquid, my meat never got as tender as usual. next time will do it in the oven at 300 for 3 or 4 hours to be sure. Good base recipe though.

Baked Asparagus with Balsamic Butter Sauce

Reviewed: May 10, 2008
I use this same oven roasting technique with fresh green beans, and they always turn out awesome. We made these with some baked salmon, and prepared the sauce using some slivered shallots with the butter. It was very good, thanks!

Refried Beans Without the Refry

Reviewed: May 7, 2008
What an excellent way to make homemade refried beans! These were very tasty and easy to change up to suit the needs of any family. I made mine with 1lb (about 2 cups) pinto beans, soaked overnight and then cooked in the crockpot all day with 4 cups canned chicken broth and 2 cups water. Then drain well and mash away! I did save all the extra liquid because they got a little dry for left-overs. This recipe makes a nice, big amount, and you would never guess there is no lard or re-frying involved! thanks for a great idea.

Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2008
what a great recipe! I made mine with some left-over smoked chicken, cut up. I used about 6 TBSP of butter and 1/2 cup flour for my roux. I also just used 2% milk, no cream or half and half and it was plenty rich and thick. I followed the advice of other reviewers and sauteed a little minced onion, garlic and carrot before starting the broth and chicken. I will make this many more times, yum!

Orange Glorious I

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2008
YUMMY!! Every bit as good as the mall version I remember as a kid. My two boys slurped this down very happily. We'll keep this in our treat/smoothie rotation for a long time! I think it could handle vanilla up to about a 1/2-1 tsp, I'll try that increase next time. thanks!

Whiskey Slush

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2008
very good slush, NO extra sugar is needed, all the juice concentrate is plenty sweet (and I like sweet cocktails). I'm not sure I cared for the orange juice flavor in this, I think next time (there will be one!) I may try limade and lemonade combined. I'll report back! *****UPDATE: tastes very good with limade instead of Orange juice concentrate. I love this recipe!***

Grampa Dave's Texas Chainsaw Bar-B-Que Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2008
This is an excellent base recipe, however it is VERY sweet. I have made it omitting the maple syrup and brown sugar and only using about 1/2 of the molasses that are called for (it's still plenty sweet from the ketchup and OJ). I really like the use of citrus for the acid it gives the sauce and the onion and garlic round out the flavors. I also have found that a tsp of chili powder is a nice addition. thanks, Grampa Dave!

Le Marriage, Alfredo Algerie

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2008
I've made this twice now, and oh wow...YUM! The first time I made it, I was out of saffron, and last night, I was out of Parmesan, lol. It was still out of this world though. Like another poster mentioned--I didn't use quite as much butter, and I also added a third chicken breast half for more substance. Definitely a keeper, although probably only make it once or twice per year. Thanks!

Absolutely Awesome BBQ Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2008
I am very glad that I omitted the brown sugar, I am sure that it would be very, very sweet! I made mine using bourbon instead of rum. I think it was overpowered by too much soy, worchestershire and bourbon. It was plenty sweet even without the sugar. I did like the use of chili sauce in this recipe, but I won't be making this again. It's not for me.

Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2008
SUCH a great frosting! I piped it out and it worked wonderfully. Here's what I did...I thoroughly whipped just 1 cup of heavy cream in a separate bowl and stuck it in the refrigerator, then I put the sugar / cream cheese mixture in a pot on low heat on the stove, just to get it a hair above room temperature. I mixed the cream cheese and sugar with a spoon as it was on the stovetop until it was almost totally smooth. I removed it from heat for a few minutes, then added it all at once to the bowl containing the chilled, very whipped heavy cream. I mixed all ingredients until velvety smooth and immediately placed in a piping bag. I then put the piping bag in the refrigerator for an hour or so, and when it was time to decorate my apple turnovers, the consistency of the frosting was PERFECT for piping. Not too runny or lumpy. Just right. The flavor is wonderful as well...sweet, light, creamy, and not overpoweringly sugary. Tastes divine and looks beautiful. Thanks for the recipe! Will use again and again!

Easter Basket Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2008
very cute and easy idea. I used some light cardboard to form the handle and wrapped with grosgrain ribbon. You'll want to have about 2 cans of icing to get enough coverage and not be short. Very fun for everyone!

Limoncello

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2008
This was VERY sweet. I would agree to cut the sugar by about half for a smoother drink. I used a microplane zester for all the lemons and it went very quickly. I'm going to go with 4 stars, with the sugar cut down this would be very nice, as is, it's crazy sweet (even for me!)

Chicken Julienne

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2008
Wonderful recipe! This is something I will certainly add to our regular rotation. I usually find myself adding or taking away something from an ingredient list right off the bat, but this is great as is. The chicken was so tender and moist, and the sauce was excellent. The only thing I would add is a little bit of grated parmesan cheese to the top of the chicken before coating and also a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top of the chicken when it comes out of the oven, for both flavor and aesthetics since the chicken and the sauce is pale. This is such a yummy recipe, and the leftovers held up fine and tasted great! Thanks so much for sharing!

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Reviewed: Feb. 11, 2008
Suburb meatloaf! This is an excellent recipe that we will use again and again! I did put the ketchup / sugar mixture on top, and I didn't bother measuring the ketchup as I could see how much I needed to coat the top. I used plenty of brown sugar, as I love the sweetness of the topping, and I used a half cup of milk, which I may cut down on by a hair next time. I used a slightly deeper pan, so I found it necessary to up the cooking time and I cooked it for over an hour. I seasoned the meat mixture with dried minced onion as well as garlic powder. Next time, I will add salt to the mixture, as I felt the meat wasn't quite salty enough as is. Also, the fresh chopped onion really added to the texture as well as the flavor....I know some other reviewers used onion soup mix, but I personally would not leave the fresh onion out. It needs to be there. By the time it came out of the oven, the whole house smelled so terrific that I couldn't wait to dig in! This is a fabulous recipe that I will make again. Thanks for sharing!

Baked Ziti III

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2008
Spectacular and easy! This was a fabulous recipe that I will make again and again. The 9x13 was filled to the top, so you're going to have leftovers. I did season my beef with dried minced onion and garlic powder, and I also used a packaged shredded "pizza" cheese mixture in addition to a smoked mozzerella, which turned out just fine. I would say that adding a layer of sauce to the bottom is a must. If you like chunkier sauce, add a can of diced tomatoes to your sauce for variety...it turns out well and adds complexity. I used sauce containing Italian sausage as did another reviewer, which made a noticable difference. I sprinkled parsley atop the finished product and served....WOW! This was so easy and tastes great, not to mention it saves money with all the leftovers. Thanks so much for a fantastic recipe, Susan!

Roasted Garlic Bread

Although it was a great recipe, I couldn't help but feel it was lacking something. I'll experiment with the flavors more next time. The paste that is made with the ingredients was easy to spread. Thanks for the recipe.
