Split Pea and Ham Soup I

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009

This was pretty good. I added 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard for extra flavor. You know how you can add baking soda to beans while their cooking to cut down the gassiness? Yeah, DON'T DO THAT WITH THIS RECIPE. It didn't really change the flavor, it just made a huge mess on my stove because it caused it to keep boiling over. Other than the mess, it was good. It would make a good winter soup.

All I can say is that this recipe is definitely a keeper. Beautiful presentation as well as delicious. Very moist, and just popped right out of the pan..

Pork Medallions

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2009

I made this for dinner tonight. I would give it 10 stars if I could! This has to be one of the easiest dishes I've prepared from this web-site, and I can definitely recommend this. Absolutely delicious. I did however, double the recipe for the gravy.. Will definitely make this again. My husband was very impressed. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.

My Amish Friend's Caramel Corn

What a great idea! Couple of changes...the roasted peanuts should certainly be a MUST and butter instead of margarine! Love this stuff!

Easy Pie Crust

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2009

I love this crust! I made a few small changes for a mixed berry pie.. I cut out the salt, use butter instead of vegetable oil and add honey to taste. My guy wants these pies all the time!

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2009

I tried this because my husband loves pot roast and I usually don't like it at all - this recipe sounded interesting. I LOVED it! My husband liked it, too, and it will be made again. We had it with mashed potatoes the first night and served the leftovers over rice - wonderful!

Royal Icing III

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2009

Works wonderfully! It can be thinned out a little with water to paint cookies with, too. Taste isn't great, but royal icing isn't necessarily for tasting...

Strawberry Cake from Scratch

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2009

I made this for my daughter's birthday party and everyone loved it! I separated the eggs and added the beaten whites at the end and I also cut the sugar back to 1 1/2 cups. One more thing I did was add about 1/2 cup of Polaner's strawberry All Fruit. Fabulous! I'll make this again.

Salsa Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2009

This recipe was okay but nothing special. The chicken was tender but too much salsa...it overwhelmed the flavor. I probably will not be making this again.

Baked Potato Skins

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2009

These were great, and not too much trouble. Just have to think far enough ahead to bake the potatoes. I did not have any parm cheese so I had to leave that out of the recipe and I used olive oil in place of vegetable oil. They were great! Will definately be making them again.

Chunky Chicken Noodle Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009

Excellent! I used more veggies and broth and also used frozen egg noodles along with some frozen peas but all in all this was a great base recipe for comforting chicken noodle soup. Quick and easy and I will make often. Thank you!

Chipotle Shrimp Tacos

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009

Great recipe! I made a few adjustments but all in all I folowed it exactly and have no complaints. I baked the bacon in the oven, used the grease for the shrimp and then crumbled the crisp bacon over the top of the tacos. This one has endless possibilities. Thanks for the great recipe!

Tiramisu Layer Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009

I made this for my husband's birthday, and he loved it. I made my own white cake, instead of using a boxed mix (we don't do packaged stuff), and had to make my own mascarpone because I couldn't find any in my area. The results were great, though. Even over the next few days, as it got soggier and soggier in the refrigerator, it just got better and better! ;)

Sue's Hot Fudge Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009

We followed the recipe as written, and it was VERY good! I wish I'd scaled down the recipe, though, because I was making it for just two of us, and it didn't save very well!

Pumpkin Cookies V

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009

Awesome! I added 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice to the cookie and nearly 2 cups of powdered sugar to the icing. I think that if I'd let the icing cool for about 2 hours, I wouldn't have needed as much powdered sugar.

Fish Tacos with Honey-Cumin Cilantro Slaw and Chipotle Mayo

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009

These were delicious! I followed the recipe and they came out perfect. The only thing I did differently was I served them on a hard tostada shell which gave them even more crunch. I will be making these time and time again.

Fried Pickles

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009

This was a great recipe! I didn't use very much cornmeal, just enough for a light crunch, but these were very tasty, and I can't wait to make them again!
