Baked Potato Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2008
Great recipe with the suggested changes. I put four stars because you do have to change some things. I tripled the recipe. Here is what I did: I used better than bullion and made the appropriate broth. I also added another potato. I peeled and cut the potatoes and let them cook in the broth. I used half a sweet onion, stalk of celery, carrot, and three cloves of garlic. I added a little extra flour, only used about a t of basil. And, when the cream was needed, I added 2 cups, half the amount, of whipping cream. The whole family loved it. Oh, and I used green onions instead of parsley. Definitely a keeper.

Kalua Pig in a Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2008
I lived in Hawaii for three years and have been searching for a recipe like this. Everyone agreed that it tasted JUST like the Kalua Pig we had there. I could not find the Hawaiian salt, but I used regular sea salt and it tasted just fine. I didn't even have to shred the meat. It fell off the bone and was so tender.

Guacamole

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2008
This guacamole is delicious! By far the best I've ever had, and it was so easy to make. Took as an appetizer for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit. Followed the recipe exactly minus the cayenne pepper. Wouldn't change a thing. It was perfect!

Noodle Pudding

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2008
A wonderful recipe. I followed the recipe as written except that I used Angel Hair pasta (which I broke up into at least 1/3 pieces) because that's what I had) and it turned out great. A very nice offering when you're in a pinch. (I've only made this once so far, so I'm not sure, but I'm thinking that next time I make this, I'll omit the sugar and incorporate some thinly sliced onions as well as some shredded carrots and zucchini -- perhaps even some bell pepper slices, mushrooms (?) and sliced sausage -- and serve it either as a side dish or as a main meal, even. Smothered with cheese(s)? Sounds even better. JMTs

Spinach and Carrot Quiche

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2008
This is a KEEPER. I made this "crustless" by using pre-coooked white rice (1/8th cup per desired servings) instead of the pie crusts and tossed some parmesan cheese (n addition to the Jack) into the mixture (just what I do). I also used 4 eggs -- rather than 3 -- for every 8 portions I prepared. I served this (along side of other dishes) at my "faux Thanksgiving dinner" this past weekend. I don't know exactly who DEVOURED it (might have been "all of them"), but I can tell you that at the end of our "faux T-day dinner" there were NO leftovers of this particular offering. Enjoy!

Easy Sausage Stuffing

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2008
This recipe worked for me. Specifically because I used Bob Evans' Savory Sage Sausage, I saw no need to use any sort of "herbed" stuffing package; therefore, I used my own 2 day old "stale" and toasted bread (I think I used Wonder White; I may have used store brand "sandwich", though) and tossed in "some" (perhaps 1/2-3/4 T.?) Italian Seasoning (garlic, basil, oregano, parsley, cayenne, etc.). I use bouillon cubes rather than packaged stock (always have; always will). Given this recipe, BEEF cubes -- even though I was serving it along side of our "trial run" Thanksgiving Day Turkey (ratio: 1-1/2 cubes per 1 cup of water). I think the butter in this recipe can be reduced (at least by 1/3 - 1/2). But my family (6 adults at most given meals) gobbled it up as served.

Succotash

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2008
This was VERY good. I made it this past weekend to see whether or not I wanted to include it in my Thanksgiving dinner offerings this year. Decision: YES! I used frozen Baby Limas, frozen Niblets corn and fresh tomatoes. I did not include garlic as others suggested (at least not this time; too many "flavors" in T-day already) but I probably will next time (and there WILL be a next time). I think the tomatoes make the dish. Opinion? Don't even think about leaving them out.

Broccoli Cheese Soup V

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2008
Marvelous... however, processed foods make me nervous... so, I used 75% cheddar and 25% mozzarella. Marvelous! Even my broccoli hating husband and 3 year old gobbled it up. Try it; you will love it with all natural ingredients!

Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2008
This was really quite good. The Italian dressing adds a LOT. I TRIPLED the recipe using the meat from chickens I had cooked (boiled) previously rather than the chicken breasts. Also, I NEVER use condensed soups in recipes so what I did instead was toss 3 celery ribs (chopped) and 3 T. of butter into the crockpot along with 3 chicken bouillon cubes, "some" dried parsley (probably about 3 T.) and 3/4 cup of water at the onset. When I added the cream cheese (2 12 oz "blocks") I also added 1/2 lb. container of (fresh) sliced mushrooms, approx. 2 T. Cornstarch and 1 cup of milk (Half&Half would work well, too). Upon serving (over 2 pkgs. BROAD PD egg noodles, cooked separately), I made salt, black and cayenne pepper, paprika and sour cream available for "takers". We are 6 pretty "averaged size" adults -- but when dinner was over and I set the leftovers down for my dogs, both of them looked up at me with kind of an "is that all that's left?" expression on their faces. [I gave this a 4 on account of the changes I made, but given my changes, I'd rate it a 10+ and a definite keeper.]

Creamed Cabbage Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2008
I make Cabbage Soup for my adult family (myself, DH, 2 sons, daughter, son-in-law and Angelica on the way) fairly often and it's always a hit. This version is particularly good and even better if left to "sit" for an hour or two before serving. I would recommend chopping the celery and onion particularly thin/small and making sure that the carrots are no larger than "bite-sized." If you need to "stretch" it (as I often do), serving it over white rice works well as does adding a can or two of white or pink beans before adding the cream or milk (sometimes I omit these all together and simply throw in a large can of diced tomatoes or tomato sauce). Other great additions include green beans and mushrooms. Finally, this works very well meatless or with ground beef, turkey or chicken or smoked turkey sausage or kielbasa, too. Adaptable, economical and delicious. Who could ask for more?

Ground Turkey Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2008
This was very good. I also followed the lead of others and put a diced onion in with the turkey while browning it. I used a little salt and lemon pepper. I only had extra large elbow macaroni and used Hunts spaghetti sauce, intstead of plain tomato sauce.I mixed everything together and topped with the shredded cheese. The flavor was great, it turned out delicious!!!!!! I made a huge pan of it and I'm looking forward to my left overs tomorrow.

Roasted Pork Loin

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2008
One of my fave pork recipes. To make a really good paste, try using a mortar & pestle. It will grind everything smooth & combine the herbs with the oil better.

Alaska Salmon Bake with Pecan Crunch Coating

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2008
This is one of my husband's fave salmon recipes. He just loves the crunch of the pecans with the flakiness of the salmon. I'm not a big pecan person so I just omit them when preparing my fillet. Very tasty.

Pan-Fried Asparagus

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2008
OMGosh! We love these asparagus. My only suggestion is to make these just before you're going to serve your meal because if they wilt they tend to be very greasy.

Japanese Style Deep Fried Shrimp

Absolutely fabulous! I used smoked paprika cuz that's what I had on hand. The Panko makes all the difference so if you don't have any, don't bother to make these shrimp.

Quick Chinese-Style Vermicelli (Rice Noodles)

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2008
Maybe I didn't have a wok big enough, but the noodles didn't turn out like they should have. I have to add more oil in order to coat all of the noodles. This, of course, made everything greasy. I won't be making this again.

Oatmeal and Wheat Flour Blueberry Pancakes

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2008
While I really liked these pancakes, my husband wasn't impressed. I think it's because they are very dense. I will make them again, but next time I'll make a fresh blueberry syrup to top them off.
