World's Best Lasagna

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2009
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.

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.

Famous Pork Chops

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2009
I really don't understand all the rave reviews for this. It had no flavor at all. It would need a lot of doctoring to make it taste like anything other than pork and crackers. The only positive thing I can say was that it was filling.

My kids loved the cornbread! I was out of muffin cups so I just made a pan of cornbread. Turned out great my kids ate it all that night. They have asked when I can make it again.

Yia Yia's Tzatziki Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2008
One of the best tzatziki sauce recipes I have found. A little too much cucumber for my taste, so I only use about 1/2 a cucumber. I also added salt & pepper, 2 tsp. lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp. dill. I couldn't find Greek yogurt, so I just used plain yogurt. Very good!

Brownie Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2008
About my 5th attempt at cheesecake & I finally got it right! At the suggestions of other reviewers I: 1) baked the brownie for 25 minutes, 2) placed a dish of water on the second shelf while baking the cheesecake, & 3) when my 50 mins. were up, I turned the oven off, opened the door and let my cheesecake set for 30 minutes gradually cooling down. Cooled and additional 30 min out of the oven & refridgerated. What an awesome birthday breakfast treat for my cheesecake obsessed husband!

Best Ziti Ever

My husband loved it! He is a very hard one to try anything new. I did add meatballs and worked out great. Just keep them down in the bottom layers or they will dry out. But over all great!

Curried Rice Pilaf

Really good! Omitted the nuts, not crazy about crunchy stuff in my rice. Otherwise, followed exactly as written. Nice light but still flavorful side dish. Paired well with Chicken Fried Chicken (from this website--best chicken EVER!)

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

This recipe was excellent. I salt, pepper, and spiced my chicken to my own taste before putting everything in the crockpot, plus I added frozen veggies when I threw in the biscuit dough. YUM!

Mari's Chicken and Pasta

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2008
This recipe was pretty good. I use only whole wheat pasta and was out of fettuccini, and I used shells instead. I was worried about this because I thought the sauce would be too thin to hang onto the shells. But I was wrong, the sauce actually filled each shell like little cups. It was good and seemed very light and fresh, sort of like a vegetable soup with pasta in it. The sauce was really thin. Next time I will add more cayenne.

Sirloin Steak Dianne

Reviewed: Jul. 21, 2008
Mu husband liked this, but I think I might have done something wrong. The dijon taste was so strong that it tasted like that's all we were eating. I think maybe I misinterpreted the recipe and put too much. Despite the strong mustard flavor, it was good. I am not very good with steak either so mine wasn't very tender. I will make this again but will use less mustard and pound the meat more, and expect to get better results. I loved the cream in it. It was also fun to light a skillet on fire for the first time - it was less frightening than I thought!
