Fudge

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2009

Deliciously smooth...never quite set up like I'm used to, but tasted great enough to make up for that! I used generic store brand chips (didn't even splurge for Nestle), and didn't have any trouble with taste or waxiness. I used 2 c. milk chocolate chips with 2/3 of the butter and condensed milk called for, microwaved them together just until melted, then stirred in ~3/4 c. chopped walnuts and 1 tsp. almond extract. Poured it in a foil-lined, greased 9x9. Then microwaved together 1 c. white chocolate chips with 1/3 the butter and condensed milk called for until melted, and stirred in 1 drop red food coloring, 2 drops yellow food coloring, and 1/2 tsp orange extract. Poured it on top of the milk chocolate layer, then marbled with a knife. Everyone loved it! Can't wait to try an Almond Joy version...

Black Bean Hummus

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2009

This is so yummy! I found it a little too thin for my taste, so next time I would leave out the 2 TBSP of bean liquid. The only other things I changed were that I doubled the cayenne because I like spicy food and I added a little extra lemon juice. Thanks for a great recipe!

BBQ Pork for Sandwiches

Reviewed: Sep. 28, 2009

This was ridiculously easy! I wish I used a different BBQ sauce. The next time I'm going to try the Sweet Baby Rays that others have suggested. I might even try some Carolina sauce next time, too!!

Cajun Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

Reviewed: Sep. 28, 2009

I used whole chicken breasts with skin and bones. I find this adds more flavor to the gumbo. This gumbo did remind of my great-grandmothers and it made so very happy. Thanks for helping me get so close to my family again!!

Grandma Ople's Apple Pie

Reviewed: Sep. 28, 2009

I added cinnamon, nutmeg and ground cloves to the apples before I put the lattice on. It gave it a nice spicy bite to the pie and it was wonderful and gooey! My husband is also very picky about his apple pie. He said "this is the best apple pie I have ever had!" I have to agree!!

Honey Baked Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2009

i give it 4 stars because i changed it a little, based on others' reviews. i used 1/3 cup honey. i used chicken breast tenderloins. i coated the chicken in some garlic powder, a little pepper, and a dash of creole seasoning before adding sauce mixture. i added the sauce mixture before placing the chicken in the oven and cooked it the full time with the sauce mixture. i liked the idea of the aluminum foil in the bottom and also covered the chicken with aluminum foil on top for the beginning 2/3 of the cooking time. also, i used boar's head deli style mustard. i absolutely LOVED this chicken. i could eat it all day. my boyfriend said he liked it and would eat it again, but he wasn't as crazy about it as i was. does anyone have suggestions for sides to pair with this? i used the sauce from the chicken to top on some baked potatoes, but i feel like using the sauce from this on something else is just too much of the same flavor....what flavor would pair well with this?

Lamb Lover's Pilaf

Reviewed: Jun. 30, 2009

This was delicious! I used a lamb shoulder steak and sliced it thinly. The meat was a touch bland, but it's not so obvious when it's mixed in with everything else. The combination of flavors is great and very different from what I usually eat!

Spicy Yogurt Dressing

Reviewed: May 20, 2009

I like cumin. I like yogurt. I liked this. I used it on broccoli slaw. It was pretty good. I gave it 4 stars because if you don't like cumin or yogurt, you will not like it.

Creamed Chipped Beef On Toast

Reviewed: May 18, 2009

This is a great crowd pleaser. I used a 6 oz package of Land-O-Frost Cracked Black Pepper Beef and doubled the gravy. I used the deli beef because the package was about 2 times as much volume as a regular jar of dried beef (for the same price). I avoided most of the salt and saved some money at the grocery store. I can't wait to try other beef packages.

Goat Cheese Salmon

Reviewed: May 12, 2009

Goat cheese and salmon, who would have guessed? This was delicious! I did make a LOT of changes to make it more to my taste and healthier. First, I used plain goat cheese. I also chopped some fresh spinach and added that with the goat cheese as part of the stuffing. I don't like mayo, and I was a little skeptical about the mustard/goat cheese combo, so I made my own sauce by whisking together juice from one lemon, 1 tbsp olive oil, and dried dill. After stuffing the fish, I salted and peppered it and poured my sauce over it. It came out juicy and delicious! I plan to make this for my future in-laws when I go to visit in a few weeks. I think they will be impressed!

Beer Margaritas

Reviewed: May 6, 2009

This was delicious! So delicious, in fact, that it can be a little dangerous. I read on other reviews that using all of the tequila is too strong, so I started with half. That was too sweet for me, so I ended up adding almost all of it. Ole!

Curried Carrot Soup

Reviewed: May 5, 2009

I am addicted to this soup! It tastes creamy and a little sinful but it is so healthy! I use fat free low sodium chicken broth. This is probably my bet allrecipes.com find. It can be a little heavy on the curry though so if you're not a curry person I would cut back.

Spinach Enchiladas Verde

Reviewed: May 5, 2009

My fiance and I both love these! I add black beans and a little onion and use whole wheat wraps instead of the corn tortillas to make them healthier. I also tried it with plain yogurt instead of the sour cream and it is still very good, you almost cant tell the difference!

Veggie Pizza

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2009

Delicious! I used reduced fat sour cream, fat free cream cheese, and reduced fat crescent rolls, and no one knew the difference! I used broccoli, red peppers, green peppers, and carrots to top it...used garlic powder instead of garlic salt and also added 1/4 tsp onion powder instead of putting onions on the pizza itself (don't care for raw onions). It was a big hit!

Spicy Sweet Potato and Coconut Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2008

Very good and very different! I peeled and cut up the sweet potatoes and onions and added them to boiling chicken broth. Cooked for ~15 min., then pureed everything. I also added 1 package of frozen carrots that had been microwaved and pureed with ~1/2 c. water. Added coconut milk, lime juice instead of lemon, red curry paste, 1 tsp. ground ginger, and sesame oil. Omitted salt and cilantro. The lime juice was a touch overpowering for my tastes and the coconut flavor a little too mild, but maybe that's my fault for playing with the recipe!

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2008

Thank you sooooo much for this recipe! It's wonderful! I used margarine instead of butter, 1 c. semi-sweet and 1 c. milk chocolate chips, and refrigerated the dough for several hours before using an ice cream scoop to scoop it out onto ungreased parchment paper. They turned out great! Even the couple that got a little overdone at the edges stayed nice and chewy!
