Peppermint Brittle

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2009
So easy. I used both dark and whilte candy coating. To get a layered look I layered the chocolate in a silicone muffin tin let it harden. I then put the crushed candy canes in the white candy coating then layered that on top of the chocolate. Sprinkle a little crushed candy cane on top and it was so pretty.

Oh my gosh, these are so good. The kids were able to help make the PB sandwiches and put the sprinkles on top.

This looks so pretty and it was so easy to do. I put the mixture in my silicone mini muffin pan and just popped them out when after they hardened.

Seven Layer Bars

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2009
Love these! They're always a huge hit when I make them, and I myself have trouble not eating them all up. I've always known them as 7 Layer Bars, but whichever name you prefer, they're GOOD! I use real butter, but in a recipe like this it doesn't matter, and because of allergies and just a personal preference I use pecans, not walnuts.

Baked Salmon Fillets Dijon

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2009
This was good. I was not dazzled but I would make again. I don't know how I would like the leftovers on a salad as suggested. I did what other suggested and broiled for two minutes to brown top. Made fish alittle dry so probably would try low broil for one minute if it does anything. I made recipe as directed only cut in half.

Sunshine Toast

I've always called this Toad In A Hole, but either way it's yummy and super easy. It's not something I make often, and it's always sorta been a non-recipe in my mind it's so easy.

Royal Icing II

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2009
I did not get this recipe from AR, but as a baker and cake decorator I have been using it for years. Royal icing works great for decorating sugar cookies and making flowers and other decorations for cakes. The idea of using uncooked egg whites makes me nervous, so I've always stuck with using meringue powder for my Royal Icing, and see no need to stray from what works in this case. It is very important when decorating with and making Royal Icing that you make sure all your equipment and utensils are grease free, otherwise the icing may not harden.

Decorator Frosting I

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2009
I vary the recipe a bit, but as a cake decorator this is my go-to frosting recipe. I substitute water for the milk and vanilla extract for the almond extract. The vanilla extract is just a taste preference, and I sub the water for milk because with decorated/celebration cakes they are often left at room temp. to be displayed so I would rather just worry about there being even a little bit of dairy, which should be refrigerated. I first cream together my shortening and liquid ingredients until well combined and smooth before adding the confectioners sugar, which I add gradually - one cup at a time. Once I have all the confectioners sugar added I check the consistency and add more water if necessary.

Home-Style Chicken and Sausage

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2009
I really enjoyed the ease of this. Hubby loved. Here's what I did. I used everything the recipe suggested except I used a bag of little smokies I had left over from the holidays. It was good...I added a few extras because it was not Italian sausage like some dried red pepper and Italian seasoning, no water chicken broth and garlic. Next time I will use spicy Italian sausage and as not a big fan of frozen green beans, if I have no fresh I will throw in some baked asparagus and some corn. I also had no potatoes so I cheated and used mashed potatoes. Finally I added a spoonful of Thick Worcestershire not to change the flavor but to add color and flavor to the juice for the mashed potatoes. This will go in the rotation.

Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2009
This dish is easy and delicious, the only thing I do differently is to cut the chicken into bite size pieces--it adds more surface area to hold the delicious spices and makes for faster cooking.

Sauteed Apples

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2009
I chose this recipe because I wanted more of a restaurant style cooked apples, and was not disappointed. The reason I'm not giving this the full 5 stars is because I had to double the amount of sugar and cinnamon. My apples did seem a little overly tart though, so the need for more sugar may have had more to do with the apples than the recipe. Loved them!

Salisbury Steak

Simple, tasty, and kids liked it too. To add flavor, I added minced garlic and substitued mushroom/onion soup mix (w/1/2 cup of water) for the condensed soup. Turned out great!

Baked Zucchini Chips

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009
I found this same basic recipe elsewhere and have made it several times and really enjoyed it. Instead of 2 egg whites I used 1 beaten egg and that also worked fine. Also, I baked mine on parchment paper, which saved me the clean up of the cookie sheet and I didn't have to worry about sticking. **Note: This recipe also works great with yellow crook-neck squash (summer squash). I usually make this with a combo of both squash and zucchini.

Pumpkin Turkey Chili

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009
The idea is a 5-star recipe ... it's full of fiber and lean protein. I gave it 4 stars because I had to suit it to my taste. My secret to making it perfect was adding milk. I loosely followed one of the other reviews and added a can of corn, a can of black beans, another can of tomatoes, a can of chicken broth, a couple Tbsp of honey, cilantro, cumin, and pumpkin pie spice. It was still just a little "off". So I added a big pinch of kosher salt and about a half cup of whole milk. The whole milk did it. It helped take it from a thick pumkin-y taste to a creamy & yummy taste. Even my husband liked it.

Quick and Almost-Professional Buttercream Icing

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009
This is my go-to buttercream recipe for cupcakes and cakes, unless I'm decorating, in which case I sub the butter for shortening so that I can work with it and not worry about the "fat" getting to warm to hold its shape. Not sure how much milk I use, I just add gradually until I have the right consistency. And I usually double the recipe, so I have plenty, as I like LOTS of icing!
