Macaroni and Cheese for Two

Reviewed: May 14, 2008
I used shells instead of elbows and half and half instead of milk. Had a cheese blend of mozzarella and cheddar so I used that. I sprinkled it with breadcrumbs also. I only had a 2 qt dish instead of 1 qt - don't know if that made a difference or not. Sorry, will keep looking for another mac and cheese recipe.

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Reviewed: May 14, 2008
Just made meatloaf for the first time with this recipe. I did modify it using other suggestions. 1/2 cup of milk (might reduce even more next time), half a large onion (will reduce this amount as well in the future), bread crumbs instead of saltines, 1/3 cup each ketchup and brown sugar and added a few tsp of Worcestershire sauce to the glaze. I also put the glaze on top. Only giving this 3 stars because of all the modifications that I made. It tasted great though!

Fabulous Football Dip

Reviewed: May 14, 2008
I used a mild sausage in this recipe because I made it for the kids after school snack. I halved the recipe, pureed the tomatoes (no chunks) and had to add some dried seasonings for flavor. I added garlic and onion powder and chili powder. This is a great tasting dip..don't think *fabulous*, but it's definitely does not look tasty. Thankfully, I was able to talk my kids into tasting it after seeing it. They did fight over the last bit! I served with corn tortilla chips (recipe from this site) and pita triangles. Will make again with the seasonings.

Annie's Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips

Reviewed: May 14, 2008
Okay, had this in my recipe box for a few months waiting for strawberry season. Glad I did! I halved the recipe, used chopped mandarin oranges in place of raspberries. I guess since my fresh strawberries were sweet I should have cut back on the sugar but I didn't. Next time I make this I will. I did not like the look of the kiwi in this recipe (may be in part that mine was slightly overripe). I served small portions in dessert cups with the cinnamon chips (recipe from this site) crushed on the top. It's a keeper!

Garlic Bubble Ring

Reviewed: May 14, 2008
This has a LOT of the butter mixture. Although, to be fair, I just realized I probably used more like a half a pound of bread dough instead of one pound. However, I think it would be too much for one pound as well. I thought about pouring the excess over the top of the rolls but didn't; was afraid would be too greasy. The garlic taste is mild for me, so I would use more garlic next time. However, I LOVE garlic and the more the better in my opinion. I used my own French bread dough I had made in my bread machine, and I did use a bundt pan. Made a nice circle in the pan after it rose. Thanks!

Soft Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks

Reviewed: May 14, 2008
I made this a bit differently, as I accidently made too much of a butter, egg, and parmesan cheese mixture for another recipe. So I eliminated the milk and most of the water. The dough was a bit too sticky, but I believe that's my fault. They are a bit bland, but not bad breadsticks. Would be good with more garlic added to the dough or sprinkled on top. And, if you are like me, dipped with pizza sauce. Thanks!

Delicious Ahi Fish Burgers with Chives

Reviewed: May 14, 2008
For me, this was a middle of the road recipe -- tasty enough to repeat, but only with necessary adjustments. Pros: includes veggies (with room for lots more), pretty healthy, unique way to cook ahi. Cons: overall taste is bland (if you use recipe as-is). I think a necessary ingredient to add here is dijon mustard, to enhance the flavor. A little Worcestershire sauce will help as well. Overall -- C+. Give it a try and determine the changes you'll want to make for yourself.

Italian Bow Tie Supper

Reviewed: May 14, 2008
I was a bit dissapointed in this recipe. From reading the ingrediants it sounded so good, but after I made it, it tasted bland. I felt like it needed more sauce, and definitely more seasoning. It has potential, but it's not quite right the way it's written.

Beefy Baked Ravioli

Reviewed: May 14, 2008
I thought this recipe was awesome. It was simple, tasty and my husband LOVED it! I didn't include the tomatoes because I don't care for them. We also used 1/2 a pound of Italian sausage and added some mushrooms. I used the frozen ravioli and everything came out perfect. We make this when our friends come over because it's so easy and they love it as well. My only problem is no matter how many times I make this I never end up with the last layer being sauce. Instead it's the ravioli and cheese on top. It works for me though

Jay's Signature Pizza Crust

Reviewed: May 14, 2008
Made pizza for the first time last night with this recipe and it was great! Soft and chewy and the slightest bit crunchy. Instead of letting it rise the extra 15 minutes, I just put it in the oven for 5-6 minutes to brown before I put the toppings on. Made the recipe exactly as is, except I halved it (8 servings) because I'm only cooking for 2. Made one nice pizza crust! Next time I'll add some spices to it. Don't have a pizza pan or stone, so I just spread it out in a round with my fingers on my cookie sheet.

Foil Barbecued Trout with Wine

Reviewed: May 14, 2008
3 1/2 stars: I followed the advice of others here & sprinkled garlic powder on the fillets after the liquid addition. BTW: the recipe isn't written all that clearly: we melted butter, added the lemon juice & wine to that butter, mixed, and then trickled over the fish before garlic powder (next time I'll use garlic SALT instead), freshly ground salt & pepper & parsley . I needed to use a lot more foil than was described--but it worked out quite well, boiling brilliantly when I opened to check the fish at 15 min. My husband loved it; the kids ate all that was served to them; I thought it was OK, but tasted more like FISH than flavor. Our fish had been defrosted from our freezer (bought fresh), so I'd try this again FRESH from the store (& with garlic salt or fresh garlic), b/c it was only that little edge away from a 4-star in my opinion. Easy.

Brussels Sprouts Stir Fry

Reviewed: May 14, 2008
I am a big fan of potatoes, and of brussels sprouts, so I really enjoyed this, but my husband didn't think much of it. It's sort of bland, but not unlike a good Irish cabbage meal--I'd say it needs to be served with a peppery meat dish to be a good compliment. BTW--we used green peppers (for the expense issue), and it was fine. I'm sure the red pepper would add that extra little flavor (I love the red, yellow & orange bell peppers!), but it's out of our current budget. Works fine with green bell. I'll fix this again...for St. Patty's Day!

White Pizza with Roasted Garlic and Green Olives

Reviewed: May 13, 2008
Oh, I REALLY like this! I'm not a big white pizza fan, but this pizza is wonderful. I love the flavor of the garlic and the olives--sharp flavors and makes it hard to miss the red sauce (which I LOVE)! I made French bread dough over the weekend for French bread, but didn't end up making it. So I used that dough in this pizza. I baked the dough for about 20 min at 350, then added toppings and baked per the recipe. I didn't measure the olive oil, but I didn't put that much on. You just need enough to brush it on, and it's perfect. I also roasted the garlic over the weekend, so I didn't use any of the oil from my garlic. Thanks for this recipe! Loved it! :o)
