Pork Chops and Sauerkraut

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2009

We liked this. I seasoned the chops with s&p and then coated with mustard before I browned. Also added some beer to it for extra moisture and flavor. Very juicy and yummy.

Out of this World Turkey Brine

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009

Ok, I'm hooked and convinced. I tried this for Thanksgiving and my turkey was delicious!!!! It was so moist and juicy. My husband said this is definitely a winner and it was soooo easy!! My brother in law, a former cook, raved about how good it was. I admit, I was a bit of a chicken and only used 1 1/4 cup of the Kosher salt because I was worreied it might be salty. It was perfect and I could tell that the extra 1/4 C of salt would have been just fine. I will be brining my turkey for Christmas too! Thanks for such an awesome recipe.

Pillow-Soft Dinner Rolls

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009

I made these exactly as directed with excellent results! I used an egg wash with 5 minutes left to bake which gave them this great color and shine.

Tasty Collard Greens

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2009

Best collards ever! I used a ham hock instead of the turkey leg. Husband actually eats these, and he normally hates collards. Thanks for the recipe!

Bacon-Balsamic Deviled Eggs

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2009

We loved these. Husband said they were the best deviled eggs he has ever eaten. That means a lot because deviled eggs are probably one of his favorite foods. One suggestion I have is to grate the onion instead of mincing. Makes it much easier, and you don't have to worry about accidentally biting into a too large chunk of onion. Thanks for the recipe!!!

Sorta Salisbury Steak

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009

Very tender! It reminded me of my mom's cube steak, but this was much simpler. Mom does it on the stove top and cooks for about an hour instead of two. I felt that the seasoning would be lacking so I added salt and pepper to the steak and seasoned the flour with salt pepper and about 1/2 ts of garlic powder. Also included mushroom when I added the onion. We enjoyed the gravy with rice.

Brigid's Blackberry Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2009

Everyone raved! Best pie ever. Perfect consistency. People kept asking how I got a berry pie to not be runny. Will use this recipe again. I was worried about it coming out too sweet so I only used only 1/2 a cup of sugar. It was perfect! I also used frozen berries because it's November, but I can't wait for summer when I can use fresh. I also ended up having to crank up the oven to 350 after first hour to brown the crust. It ended up baking to close to 2 hours before it was perfect. Brushed the crust with an egg yolk and one TB of water and then sprinkled with sugar. So delicious. Thanks for the recipe

Wine Soaked Mushrooms

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2009

I made these tonight, but only cooked them for 30 minutes with about 1/4 cup of wine and 1/4 cup of broth. They were still awesome, but I don't really see the need for 2 hours and as much ingredient called for for a side dish. Loved the flavors though.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009

I will start off saying what I did after reading reviews. I used nearly a pound and a half of chicken pieces (uncooked). 2T butter, 1/2 large white onion, 1 can Cream Chicken with Herbs and 1 can Cream of Celery (I didnt have any more cream of chicken), 1 16-ounces packed of dough, and about a cup of water and 1 bouillon cube. I added spices (a bit of Seasoned salt, parsley, a tad of cumin and a little Old Bay), and some celery. I rolled the biscuits out and cut into smaller strips. Cooked according to directions. Result: It was good. It tasted like when my aunt makes cream of chicken over biscuits which is fine and it was good but if you are craving Chicken N Dumplins like you get at Cracker Barrell or how your granny makes, these are not them. I was craving the comfort of CnD but these weren't them although very good.

Oatmeal Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2009

Made these last night, and they are all gone! My husband's friends ate every last one. Thanks for the recipe they were awesome! Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Oh and I used 1/2 shortening 1/2 butter because my cookies have a tendency to turn out thin and crispy.

These are the best biscuits ever. Husband ate them up. Added a little vinegar to the milk to make it like buttermilk, and brushed the tops with butter after they came out of the oven.

Mulligatawny Soup I

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2009

I dont know if soem of my measurements were off but it was 1/2 cup of all veggies. My curry powder was homemade from a previous recipe. I added 2 chicken breasts. I omitted the Thyme because i didnt have any (oops). I added some milk at the end and it really added something nice to the dish. ** Result ** I loved it... my kids loved it but it was a bit too spicy (so I will make my curry again and add less 'heat'). NO leftovers as for a family of 5.. it just makes enough for 1 hearty meal. I will definitely make this again!! (btw - my boys are 5-1/2, 3-1/2 and just under 2 years).

Hamburger Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009

I made mashed potatoes with red potatoes, salt, butter and milk. My ground beef was cooked with a cup and a half of small diced onions and a tablespoon of minced garlic. I added a can of condensed tomato soup and 1 can of diced Italian tomatoes. I put it in a 9"x13" glass dish. I then put a layer of steamed corn (i had no french cut green beans like I usually use). I topped it all with the potatoes. Then I added a generous layer of cheddar/Monterey mix. Finally I added French's Onions to the top and baked in the 350 oven for about 25 minutes. ** Result** YUM-O! Kids liked it, hubby liked it and I liked it.

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff I

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009

First off here are the changes I made (1st time making it and I doubled the recipe): Used 2 pounds of london broil (cubed), 1 can of Golden Mushroom & 1 can of Cream of Onion Soups, 1 cup small diced onion, 1T Worcestershire, 1/2 cup of water, 2T minced garlic, 1 beef bullion cube, and 1 can sliced mushrooms (drained the water). At the end I added 5 ounces low-fat cream cheese and 1T cornstarch + 2T water. Served over buttered egg noodles. **Result** The sauce was a bit too thick (although I wanted a thicker sauce). The meat was wonderful but something was a bit off.. it was missing something that I couldn't pin-point. It was great as leftovers too. I will make again if I can figure out what was missing :)

Spicy Red Bell Pepper Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009

The soup as prepared by recipe was very good--worth the five stars. I had some cooked ham to use up, and after the soup was done, I added nearly a pound of chopped ham and let it all simmer for a while. It was awfully good that way, as well, and I expect it to be even better tomorrow. I recommend about double the cayenne, and a bit more garlic---powder is alright. I also added about 1/2 cup of condensed milk, because I really like the creamy color that it adds. I do that frequently. Keeper recipe! Lotsa fun.

French Baguettes

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009

Very crunchy on the outside, but light and chewy on the inside. Yum! We enjoyed this very much. I used a whole egg instead of the yolk b/c I'm lazy. Also when it was baking, I added a pan of water under the bread.
