Chinese Chicken Fried Rice II

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2009
I have made this about 10x - sometimes I use chicken, sometimes shrimp, sometimes just veggies - whatever I have on hand. We love this simple and tasty dish!

Pecan Pie Bars I

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009
Excellent recipe. I used a 9x13 jelly roll pan and cut the recipe down to 24 servings with excellent results. Also, used real butter not margarine and subbed brown sugar for half white. These were a big hit at Thanksgiving and I loved the idea of a short bread crust instead of the pie crust. So much tastier in my opinion. Thank you for sharing. This will be on our thanksgiving menu every year from now on (as well as any other time I feel like pecan pie!!).

Out of this World Turkey Brine

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009
Wonderful, wonderful recipe! I discovered this recipe several years ago when hosting my first Thanksgiving and have used it ever since. Because it made such moist and tender meat, we have tried it on smoked, grilled, and roasted turkeys and chicken, and they all came out beautifully. *I am a bit surprised to read the reviews that said it was too salty. I don't use a lot of salt while cooking, so I can be kind-of sensitive to it...but this recipe turned out great. Make sure you do not substitute regular table salt if you don't have canning salt. This would definitely contribute to oversalting!

Perfect Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009
Okay, I am shockingly dissappointed with this pie. I made it exactly as written and it was not bad, just okay. (It was made with The Best Ever Pie Crust from this site.) The reason why I was shocked was that I *assumed* with these ingredients it would be a home run. (Plus all of the 5 star ratings!) Maybe my expectations were set too high. Even my husband commented that it was "missing something." It had a good pumpkin flavor, but what was missing, I'm not really sure. More spices? Sugar? I'm still in search of a good homemade pumpkin pie. And I'm glad this was the trial run and not the actual Thanksgiving Pie!

Grandma Ople's Apple Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2009
Boy, has it been a long time since I have made a homemade apple pie! This recipe turned out wonderfully! I used the Best Ever Pie Crust recipe from this site. A couple of things to note: I do agree with the previous review that there was no "paste" consistency with the flour/butter mixture. The syrup had a great caramel like flavor (which I poured on the pie before I put on the top crust- did not make lattice top.) I also agree that spices are needed but love the suggestion to coat the apples with the spice, not to mix it into the syrup. And finally, 8 granny smith apples will make for a *tart* pie which is great if that's what you want. I prefer sweeter pies so I used 2 granny smith, 2 gala and 2 golden delicious. Turned out to be a great combination although I still had apples left over, so next time I will cut back to 5 apples. I used a stone pie plate and it was beautifully cooked in about 40 minutes. I will make this one again!

Best Ever Pie Crust

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2009
I made this both exactly as written and with the advice to substitute 1/2 of the shortening with 1/2 a cup of butter. It was MUCH better with the butter. It was cooked in a stone pie plate and it was perfectly cooked in about 40 minutes. Great easy recipe!

London Broil for the Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2009
I'll admit, I did not have high hopes because it seemed too easy. I was pleasantly surprised that it came out with a rich flavor and was pull apart tender. (For those who do not love the flavor of Cream of mushroom soup, substitute the Cream of Chicken and Mushroom soup as it will give a better flavor. I would not recommend going straight to the Cream of Chicken because it will be too soupy. You need the texture of the Cream of Mushroom.) The only thing I will do differently next time is double the sauce recipe!

Oven Pot Roast

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2009
OH MY GOSH. I just made this, it was my very first pot roast evar, and it turned out AMAZINGLY GOOD. The only change I made ingredient-wise was to stir in a can of beef consumme instead of the wine, as was suggested on here. I browned the meat in a cast iron skillet, added everything else to the skillet and covered it in foil for 2 hours at 325. As per suggested on here in other comments, I added some baby red potatoes and chopped carrots in at the 1-hour-left mark, basted the meat, and cranked it up to 350 for that last hour. The meat was fall-apart good when everything was done - I didn't even need a knife!! AMAZING recipe. Thank you so much! I need not look anywhere else for a pot roast how-to!

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2009
Huge, spectular, gorgeous, delicious cookies that looked right off the cover of any home and cooking magazine. Perfect Texture - crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, overflowing with chocolate chips. What more could you ask for? This will go in my list of favorite cookie recipes. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us!

These coconut bars were very good and suprisingly easy to make. You might want to double the recipe, though since they do go fast :)

Slow Cooker Beef Stew I

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2009
We did NOT like this. At All. I was excited about this because of the good reviews and easy prep but ended up sorely dissapointed. Followed the recipe exactly and it was bland and boring. There was no depth to this recipe, no layers of flavors. My mom and grandma's stew was so flavorful and rich and so above and beyond what I got from this recipe. I'll be sticking to my mom and grandma's recipe going forward. Thanks anyways.

Easy Granola Bars

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2009
These stayed moist and chewy ~ a true winner in our books! Because this recipe is so versatile you can add what ever additions you want. I added mini choc chips, dried cranberries, raisins and about 1/4 cup peanut butter. It was soooooo good. Also, I subbed flax meal for half of the wheat germ.

Romanian Apple Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009
delicious! Did not add walnuts so our one year old could enjoy it too. Perfect sweetness for us but the amount of sugar to use really depends on your apples. TASTE your apples first, if they are already sweet, reduce your sugar; if they are tart add a bit more. We loved this. Thanks for the recipe!

Clone of a Cinnabon

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009
Perfect Recipe. I didn't change a thing. The only thing I messed up by accident but didn't alter the taste of it at all was that I mixed together the softened butter and the cinnamon sugar because I didn't read ahead. Also, once my cinnamon buns rose, I put them in the fridge overnight and popped them in the oven the next morning for an easy weekend breakfast. If you do this, don't forget to let them sit out for about 20 minutes first. Picture perfect, huge, delicious cinnamon buns. I heart this recipe.
