Tex-Mex Turkey Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009
This soup is a definite 5+. I made a few changes to suit personal preference...we are not big tomatoe fans so I skiped the tomatoe soup, instead of canned tomatoes I seeded two large organic tomatoes and cut in small bits, skipped salsa, used fresh parsley from my garden, skipped boullion and instead used 3 cups organic chicken broth and 3 cups water, 3 cups of organic black turtle beans that I boiled for 1 1/2 hours and drained in place of canned beans, 1 cup frozen corn, light sour cream, skipped cilantro because didn't have any, added additional spices and hot sauce. Cooked on high for about 4 hours in crock pot. Before serving I squeezed fresh lime over each bowl; offered choice of recommended topings. As per advice of another reviewer I made my own tortilla chips and squeezed a bit of lime over them as well. Even my ever so picky significant other took a bite and said "this is good"...he even had a small second bowl. Good job, guys, keep em' coming! Happy Holidays!

Turkey Bacon Avocado Sandwich

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009
My favorite things to eat! Omitted the mayo, lettuce and cheese. Replaced the bread with a toasted bagel and regular bacon with crisp turkey bacon - layered open faced leftover turkey breast, organic avocado, turkey bacon, vine ripe tomatoe and lots of cracked black pepper. Significant other thinks it looked strange to say the least as he munched away on his traditional hot turkey leftovers...but what does he know about good eats! It was exceptional! ...think I will do it again!

Apple Pecan Cornbread Dressing

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009
This is a very delightful dressing but for my taste it needs a little more spice/salt. Next time I will add a little more salt to enhance the flavors and possibly more fresh parsley from my garden. I will make this dressing again. Thanks for the recipe.

Libby's® Famous Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009
An old time classic that I made this year with the input of Muscleman. I made exactly as recipe indicated except I thought I had ground cloves (they were whole) so so I added a little Nutmeg in its place. Less spices do enhance the flavor or the pie. Delicious and a nice ending to a turkey dinner. Thanks all!

Roquefort Pear Salad

I made this dish to take to a cooking club meetup and it was the hit of the party... even won the prize! I made it exactly as called for and will surely make it again and again! Thank you for such a terrific recipe!

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies I

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2009
These are the most amazing cookies I've ever made. I did, however, take out the walnuts and make it half semi-sweet chips and half white-chocolate chips, to mimick Otis Spunkmeyer's cookies of this similar flavor. Everyone I make them for goes NUTS and becomes addicted!!!!

The Most Incredible Garlic Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009
I have been making garlic bread this way for many years. I got the recipe from a chef. It always gets terrific reviews! Thanks for the recipe and the reminder of how terrific it is ...but you do have to watch it closely at it burns quickly.

Mimi's Zucchini Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009
This is an excellent recipe! The only changes I made were to substitute with brocoli as that is what I had on hand, stewed tomatoes for fresh as I was making stewed tomatoes from a recipe on this site, cut the oil to about 1/8 cup of EVOO and baked them in a lined/sprayed muffin tin for about 15 minutes for a grab and go morning meal. Next time if I have a group to cook for I will make it into a pie. Thanks Mimi!

Dessert Cherry Pie

This dessert has a nice flavor and is light and fluffy, however, we were not impressed enough to make it again. Thank you, Beth, for submitting the recipe.

Intensely Chocolate Mousse Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009
I made this mousse cake yesterday and it turned out fantastic. Baking in a bath is a good idea and keeps it moist...we used an 8" springform pan. Did not use chocolate curls but next time I will fancy it up a little. Thanks for a great recipe!

Chicken Biryani

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009
I was somewhat disappointed by this recipe after putting in about 2 hours of preparation. The potatoes were not completely cooked (had to pick them out and microwave them for a minute or two), the chicken didn't absorb any flavor and was very dry, and some of the rice wasn't cooked all the way either. I was disappointed by how bland it was in spite of all the spices used. It was all around okay but I probably wouldn't make it again.

Awesome Baked Sea Scallops

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2009
I made this dish tonight just for me! My male friend wanted marinated pork tenderloin on the grill and I don't eat meat and he doesn't eat scallops...so...since there were scallops in the freezer that needed to be eaten I sacrificed myself (wink)... I have been eyeing your recipe in my recipe box for awhile)! Very easy and delicious. Followed it exactly except I cut the recipe in half and used crushed onion and garlic croutons since we didn't have any breadcrumbs-I used less than what was suggested due to my own preference. Thanks StylinCook! I've been wowed!

Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2009
I decided to make this frosting because I had whipping cream that needed to be used...I'm glad I did! Made exactly as written except little less whipping cream... an awesome frosting for a "last minute decision" 4 layer red velvet cake which was courtesy of Sunny ... Thanks Tom for a great frosting and Sunny for a terrific cake recipe!

This is an excellent cake. I have been making it for years from the back of Hershey's Cocoa with rave reviews! It always makes a hit and is the first dessert gone at any gathering!

Herbed Chicken Nuggets

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2009
I made a few modifications to this recipe and it turned out very good, and even healthier. I used 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs and 2 T parmesan cheese along with the rest of the spices mentioned in the original recipe. I completely left out the vegetable oil as it didn't seem necessary. As another reviewer suggested, I used a slotted spoon so that excess egg could drip off the nuggets easily before dipping them in the bread crumb mixture. After I laid the nuggets out on the cookie sheet, I sprayed them with some coconut oil cooking spray. For a dipping sauce, I combined equal parts dijon mustard and honey, mixed with a little basil. I served this with a side of rice and steamed vegetables which made for a beautiful presentation! My boyfriend loved it. This is a keeper for sure!

Sweet and Sour Meatballs I

Reviewed: Sep. 20, 2009
I have been making this recipe for years with excellent results. I make the meatballs with 1/2 ground turkey and 1/2 lean ground beef mixed with egg, little oatmeal for binding, garlic, onion, parsley or whatever I have on hand and then gently "brown" the meatballs on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. I then drain off excess fat and cool them enough to handle before adding them (couple at a time) to the crockpot with the already warm sauce and heat on low for a couple hours, giving them a gentle "toss" once or twice. Thank you for reminding me of this wonderful and easy recipe.

This was a terrific recipe. Used a little less milk in the dough and also added a little cinnamon to the dough as well. We served it with whipped cream to complete the presentation.

Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2009
This was excellent! So delicious and moist. The steak sauce gives it a nice kick. I love the combination of slightly sweet and tangy. I served this with honey roasted potatoes, (from this site), and I added dijon to the potatoes as well, and broccoli on the side. Something new to do with chicken that will be a standard in our home.

Oma's Cottage Cheesecake

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2009
So easy! I was looking for a recipe to make a local favorite "smearcase" and thought this might be a good substitute. It was. Lots of things you could do to make it light, I used the original - full fat cottage cheese and milk. Yummy.
