Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: May 15, 2008
I used softened butter instead of melted so they wouldn't spread too much. I also put in them in the freezer for about 30 minutes before baking. Baked for 14 minutes and they were perfect. Husband stuffed 2 in his mouth immediately.

Taco Seasoning I

Reviewed: May 15, 2008
I love that you can make your own taco seasoning, I don't like cumin so I've never been able to get past the tast of it in store bought seasoning. That being said I decided to omit that and use only a portion of the chili powder. I think that the portion of garlic:onion powder:red pepper flakes:oregano:paprika:pepper is spot on, but found the salt to be overwhelming (I think half would be sufficient), I also added a little ginger as well to the mix.

Salmon Patties III

Reviewed: May 15, 2008
I love that this recipe calls for fresh salmon as I think it makes for much tastier patties, but where is the seasoning? I tried this and used some thawed hash browns and added dijon mustard, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and steak seasoning. I think this is a good recipe that just needs a little tweaking.

Lemon Whipped Pie

Reviewed: May 13, 2008
I halfed the recipe as I didn't want 2 pies, but used the full amount of pineapple and wished I would have used even more. This was very light and refreshing and I'm sure would work with other kinds of jello as well. It's a lot more similar to a lemon meringe than a cheesecake tho (I don't really get that comparison). My main issue with this recipe is that the "chill before serving is rather vague"...perhaps it should be common sense, but I made this about 6 hours (in the freezer) before serving and it still hadn't set...I recommend giving yourself 12-24 hours in the fridge to allow the right consistency.

Cranberry Meat Loaf

Reviewed: May 7, 2008
I found this meatloaf to be a little on the dry side, so I would recommend using a ground beef or turkey w/ a higher fat content and perhaps covering while baking. The sauce, however was delicious...but may be a little too spicey for some. Certainly not the best meatloaf I've ever tried, but it was good for a change of pace.

Chicken Breasts with Lime Sauce

Reviewed: May 7, 2008
I subbed crushed Ritz for the breadcrumbs and seasoned them really well w/ garlic, pepper, and onion salt. I also used only about 2/3 of the butter and used chicken tenders. This was a very nice chicken dish and everyone enjoyed the sauce, I appreciated how subtle the lime juice was, it didn't overpower the chicken at all. Overall, very yummy, thank you.

Strawberry Jam

Reviewed: May 6, 2008
I make jams, jellies and preserves all the time since I live on a farm and have fruit trees and live in a country where fruits are available all year round. This is the first time that I have had a strawberry jam turn out quite as it was supposed to. The taste is fantastic. I modified the recipe as I and my husband prefer whole fruits or chunky jams. The cooking time takes a little longer as I am also very near the coast. I have added a picture of the canned goods. My husband actually tasted the pot after it was bottled in the jars, and his immediate reaction was, HMMMMMMMM!! That is a plus all by itself. I must admit the last time I attempted Strawberry jam was when we had picked so many from the garden and I made an attempt at jam, which was a total failure. I burned it and then tried to eat it anyway, but oh my goodness, it was awful and so I ended up chucking it out. Cried for weeks. Thanks for this super recipe and now I have no excuses for not preparing it properly.

Enchiladas Suisas

Reviewed: May 1, 2008
I would give this a 100 stars if I could! I used bottled salsa verde and it was still delicious. Also, it is worth the effort and mess to fry your tortillas and dip them in the salsa...don't skip that step! I seasoned my chicken with seasoning salt and lots of garlic (I don't like cumin). For my tortillas I layered chicken, cheese, and green chilies (out of a can). I also topped the whole dish with some Queso cheese dip (I think I used tostitos brand) in addition to the cream.

Pumpkin Cake with Apple Top

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2008
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I didn't care for this recipe at all. I had extra pumpkin puree (from a can) so thought this cake sounded like it could be good. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The cardamom was completely overpowering for my taste, although my husband did like it. The texture is not light and fluff like cakes normally are, instead, it's heavy and dense. I thought the taste was better with fresh whipped cream or ice cream. One more thing, the cake was in the oven for 45 minutes before the knife came out clean. I don't envision baking this again, but I appreciate the recipe..

J.P.'s Big Daddy Biscuits

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2008
This is the first time I've made biscuits from scratch and these were definitely good. They didn't live up to what I hoped for though, and mine definitely didn't look like the ones in the photos - all of that may be my lack of biscuit baking experience though. I made mine using a food processor, and the dough came together very easily. I patted the dough out, cut it and wrapped the biscuits in foil. Then I refrigerated them overnight so we could have fresh baked biscuits for dinner the next night. I was disappointed that they were pretty flat, not fluffy and tall like I had hoped for. They were also a little crumbly so I'm thinking I probably either kneaded too much or not enough, though I'm not sure which. I
