This was very good! I picked it because i thought i only had whipping cream, but it turn out that was expired and I found a cup of sour cream! It was so good with the sour cream, I don't think I'll ever use anything else!

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2009

yum yum yum! These are great! I wanted more so I doubled the recipe, but 1 recipe of crumb topping was enough for all. I filled the muffin cups to the top and it made 12 giant muffins (6 per recipe). I would imagine it will make 8 for a single recipe if you don't quite fill the cups all the way. I wouldn't change any ingredient. YUM!

Whole Wheat Banana Strawberry Loaf

Reviewed: Jul. 4, 2009

This recipe is wonderful!! My husband is hard to please and keeps raving about it. I made it late last night and we had it for breakfast this morning. I made it EXACTLY according to the recipe and wouldn't change a thing. My loaf pan must have been smaller than the one others used because some of the batter boiled over and I had to slip a metal pan under my glass loaf pan to catch it. I cooked it for the full time and it was brown on the top but it was a delicious crust that tasted buttery even though there was no butter in the recipe. I usually have to cook recipes about 20 minutes longer than the recipes called for though so maybe this one was just right for my oven. I've had the same issue with the last 3 ovens I've owned, so maybe it's our climate. Anyway, I would recommend not changing a thing but make sure your loaf pan isn't more than 2/3 full to avoid any spilling over. THIS WAS DELICIOUS!!

Chocolate Mousse

Reviewed: Jun. 29, 2009

My sister had her wisdom teeth removed Friday so I found this recipe while looking for something soft to make her to eat in addition to the mashed potatoes I had made. This was a HIT! She loved it and asked me for the recipe so she could send her husband to the store to buy the ingredients to make it again. I tasted it also and it was great! So simple too! One tip - double or triple the recipe. 1 recipe makes 2 small servings. 2 recipes makes 2 large servings. When I make it for my family of 4, I'll probably triple the recipe to give everyone enough to have 1 serving.

Very good, simple recipe. I used the fresh pineapple blended very well instead of pineapple juice. Very tasty overall!

World's Best Lasagna

This recipe really lives up to it's name. It couldn't possibly get any better! I now use this sauce for all my Italian dishes. My husband won't even eat any other red sauce now, it HAS to be this one!

Easy Black Bean Soup

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2009

This was a very odd tasting black bean soup. It has way too much tomato, and the refried beans gave it a strange texture. I won't be making this one again.

Shrimp and Mushroom Linguini with Creamy Cheese Herb Sauce

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2009

This is a good starting point, but the recipe definitely needs more. It has very little flavor. I may use this recipe again, but I will be adding more spices to liven it up.

Easy Frozen Margaritas

Reviewed: May 25, 2009

This simple recipe is almost exactly the recipe that i've used for years. Except we add 2 packets of Sweet & Low to tone down the tartness of the limeade. Also, try and use a quality tequila as this will make a huge difference in the taste.

Blackened Chicken

Reviewed: May 19, 2009

I always look for really quick chicken recipes, and I don't know why I've never come across this one before. This is the easiest chicken I've ever made that actually has flavor. I made this on a night that I went out to dinner with a friend, so that my husband would have something to eat. He is from India and loves food covered with spices, so I thought this would be right up his alley. It made the house smell so good and I was sorry that I wasn't going to eat it! I did taste it though, and it was wonderful. My husband is so picky since I'm American and he really really misses his mom's Indian cooking....which I don't cook much because it's time consuming and we are very busy. So it was exciting to find something that he really likes. Thanks for the great and simple recipe! Oh also, I don't have an iron skillet so I just heated up my t-fal pan really hot and it worked fine. I had to bake it for 25 minutes though to get it done in the middle, and it was soooo juicy! I doubled the cayenne pepper too since my husband thinks food tastes better the hotter it is :).

One Bowl Chocolate Cake III

Reviewed: May 14, 2009

Ok, this was the fastest and easiest cake I have ever made. It was better the next day after it cooled. It seemed fluffy when it was hot but when it cooled, it became this dense, moist, delicious mouthwatering cake. I didn't even put icing on it. I made it in a bundt cake pan (cooked for 55 mins) and sprinkled a little bit of powdered sugar on top just for decoration. It took me about 10 minutes from start to get it in the oven. I made it exactly as specified - no variations at all. It didn't need anything else. I was expecting it to just be ok. But it was EXCELLENT! Update 10/18/09 - Ok, since my last review I've made this cake at least a dozen times. I keep all of the ingredients incase I hear that someone is coming, and it's a huge hit with guests. I have had some failure getting a nice bundt cake with this recipe because it's so extremely moist that the top sometimes falls off in the pan, but it's never bothered anyone. Today I made it in a 9x9 pan and it's nice and thick. It was wonderful according to this recipe, but for variation I've added a tsp of cinnamon and a big pinch of red chili powder. Makes a unique and wonderful flavor. The longer it sits the more moist it gets. Soooooo good.

New Orleans Barbeque Shrimp

Reviewed: May 10, 2009

Well, I was excited about this recipe since I'm from New Orleans and this is one of my favorite dishes. I haven't eaten it as Pascale Manales, so I cannot compare this to that version like some other reviewers did. This is very good, but still not as good as my mom's recipe for the same. So, not the best barbequed shrimp I've ever had when comparing them all, but regardless it is a very good meal. My favorite thing about it, which will get me to make it again many times, is the fact that it's FAST! I think I'll add more worcestershire next time, as that is one of my favorite flavors in this, and I could barely taste it in this recipe. My husband doesn't like shrimp though and he loved it! We had a good dinner.

Pesto Chicken Florentine

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2009

Extremely tasty recipe. Combined Classico's Roasted Garlic and 4 Cheese Alfredo Sauces. Also used their Sun Dried Tomato Pesto cause that's what I already had on hand. Did use the full bag of fresh spinach leaves and garnished with the diced tomato. Also used whole wheat rotini for a healthier option but that was strictly a personal preference. The presentation and taste of this dish were definitely restaurant quality!!!

Quick Gnocchi

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2009

I have never had gnocchi, never made it before, but I knew I wanted to make a Gnocchi and Chicken soup. These turned out amazing. So extremely simple and delicious. I would have given it 5 stars but I think there is way to much flour. I used perhaps 3/4 a cup. And even though I am a gnocchi novice, I know a good dough. The end result was incredible. The best soup I have ever made. I plan on teaching this way to many friends. thanks so much for posting.

This was VERY good! It wasn't too sweet which I like, but we used somewhat under-ripe berries! I used an 8x8 pan and it was really thin.. so I'm not sure why it is called deep dish pie! I will definitely make this again!
