Lebanese Chicken and Potatoes

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009
Awesome, Awesome recipe! Didn't change anything except that I ran out of lemon juice so only used 1/4 cup (just the stuff in the bottle since I didn't have any real lemons). It was perfect for my family including a hubby who is not too fond on tangy/lemony stuff and three kids ages 1, 4 and 6. Tender, juicy chicken, delicious sauce, fork tender potatoes. I also made homemade naan which totally enhanced this meal. I have to say that I have also made this as written with 1 cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice (NOT bottled) and have LOVED that was as well. But then again I love tangy, lemony stuff, but my hubby didn't like the version with a full cup. Going forward I will probably use 1/4 cup of the bottled juice which I think is always more concentrated in flavor anyways or 1/2 cup of the fresh squeezed to get a good lemon compromise for my family. Either way this recipe is a winner in my book.

Chicken and Corn Chowder

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009
Great hearty fall soup! I used both the bacon grease and the drippings from the pan to intensify the flavor. The flavor turned out great, but it did nothing for the presentation (made it a bit muddy looking.) I also added sliced carrots to use them up which tasted good, but again, messed with the persentation! (Orange circles just don't look as pretty in this soup.) Note: when changing the yield, always double check the calculated measurements! I doubled this recipe and it called for 64 cups of corn starch, haha!

Sarah's Applesauce

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2009
Loved it. My apples were a little tart so I ended up using a tad bit more sugar for my personal preference. We're going apple picking this weekend and I will be sure to make this again.

Broccoli Biscuit Squares

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2009
I agree with the other reviews that it lacked flavor. It was good, not excellent. The possibilities are endless when it comes to how you want to season it, which is nice. The basic recipe could go lots of ways! (Which is the reason for the 4 stars.) I added garlic powder, oregano & a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the meat while cooking, and it still needed more. I agree with another reviewer's idea that some kind of sauce could help. Also, I do think adding the cheese to the biscuit mix was unnecessary as you really could not taste it. Just take the cheese & sprinkle it on top. All in all it was nice for a change of pace.

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2009
The perfect kick off to the fall season! I have made this bread a few times and it's a no fail, wonderful autumn or holiday bread. I didn't change a thing except the size of the loaf pans. I used 2 larger pans and baked them a little longer. Next time I'll try the healthier version made with apple sauce. Thanks for the great recipe.

Grilled Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2009
I used to eat these ALL the time as an after school snack when I was in Junior High to try to gain some weight (unfortunately after 3 kids I don't have that problem anymore). These are THE BEST. If you want to cut calories by eliminating the butter, you can always stick these in the oven on a piece of foil or baking sheet to catch all the creamy, yummy, oozing peanut butter from making a mess.

Big Soft Ginger Cookies

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009
Good cookie! I adjusted the spices by reducing the amount of cloves and adding a dash of nutmeg. I also used butter flavored crisco because it was what I had in the pantry. Cookies were soft and flavorful but seemed a little flat after cooling. I even extended the cooking time to 11 mins. Overall a good recipe and something I will try again durring the holidays.

Slow Cook Thai Chicken

Made this today for dinner tomorrow and - I don't know - this is just not good as written. I am going to have to tweak it somehow tomorrow to make it into something my family with enjoy, but I won't be making this recipe again...

Fruit Pizza I

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009
Great easy recipe and always a hit at potlucks. Last time I cooked the (store bought) cookie dough the day before, let it cool & covered it with saran wrap & foil. Worked out great until I was ready to assemble the pizza. Also, typically I cut down on the amount of sugar as it is pretty sweet. But that can be done to fit personal taste!

Fast Chicken Soup Base

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009
This is (by far) the best chicken soup base that I have tried. There are others that are a bit quicker, but this gives the rich homemade taste you are looking for. I have made it several times and the best way was with fresh, raw chicken breasts boiled in the broth/water combo for about an hour. Remove the chicken meat and return bones to the broth when you add the carrots, onions & celery. (The bones are what gives the soup it's wonderful flavor.) After 20 or 30 minutes when the veggies are soft, remove the bones & add the shredded meat, spices & then continue with whatever recipe you are using. I double the recipe, add a bag of Healthy Harvest egg noodles & salt & pepper to taste. Simply heavenly.

Clam Bake

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2009
I would give this four stars as written - it's as simple as can be for a no-fuss easy one-pot meal. For our personal preference, next time I will probably leave out the potatoes - with the corn and yummy seafood, no one in my family even touched the potatoes. Also, I will double the clams and mussels. I used seafood stock (all I had) and added a quarter of a lemon and a few cloves of garlic to the broth while cooking. I also cooked this a bit differently since I didn't want the seafood coming out tough or rubbery. I started with par-boiling my potatoes in salted water. Then I dumped out the water and added the corn to the potatoes and the broth and my additions of lemon and garlic. I cooked these for about 5 minutes. I added the clams in a single layer on top of the corn and potatoes and steamed for eight minutes. Pulled them out. Added the mussels in a single layer for 8 mintues. Pulled them out and added the shrimp for a few minutes until cooked through (maybe 5 minutes?). Then I put the clams and mussels back into the pot and served with crusty french bread and melted butter. The broth was fabulous and the seafood was just right (not tough and rubbery or shriveled). I will definitely make it again.

Awesome Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2009
Gave this only 4 stars b/c I made a substitution. After reading lots of the reviews, I subbed out one cup of the oil with unsweetened applesauce. Now I didn't taste this myself b/c it was a Thank You gift for my husband's office but the comments I got back were amazing and included converting someone who doesn't even like carrot cake to someone who had 2 slices! It was moist and delcious! The pineapple is the key! Great recipe!

Vanilla Ice Cream V

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2009
Pretty Good stuff. Tasted very good but the texture was just a bit off for me (not smooth)but somehow that could have been my fault since I'm totally new at this homemade ice cream thing. I let the icecream ripen overnight in the freezer and even the next day it scooped out very easily.

Peanut Butter Cookies IV

Reviewed: Jul. 27, 2009
LOVED THESE COOKIES! I made them with butter flavored crisco instead of butter because I didn't want to wait for it to come to room temp. I also shortened the cooking time to 9 mins. They stayed soft and were almost gone within 24 hrs!

Mushroom Blue Cheese Turkey Burgers

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2009
these are really good. I used the stovetop based on other reviewers and tried the frequent basting, they came out very juicy. I used swiss because that's all I had and it was very good. I think this will replace my other turkey burger recipe. The only thing I noticed was there was no heat recommendation. I used medium heat so they could cook longer without burning.
