Four Cheese Macaroni

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2009
This was AMAZING!! It was my first time making homemade macaroni and cheese and it was really quite simple. I really love the texture the eggs give but if you like a creamier consistency then leave them out. I sauteed some broccoli florets with Italian sausage and garlic in a little olive oil and then stirred them in once they were cool (so as to not cook the eggs.) I stirred halfway through the cooking time and then let cool for a good five minutes or you'll have molten lava mouth - and that's never a good thing. Everyone raved and went back for seconds. Good times :)

Cracked Sugar Cookies I

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2009
SIMPLY THE BEST!!! I followed the recipe to a T and they were awesome! Still soft and chewy a few days later. Mine spread a bit and wound up pretty thin. I might refrigerate the dough for an hour next time to minimize the spreading. They taste great though and cracked beautifully. My husband thought they were store bought they were so good. Will definitely make this again any time I am hankering for a real sugar cookie!

Shepherd's Pie VI

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2009
I followed the suggestion to put Worcester in the meat before cooking it, and I used the brown gravy pack and 1 cup water. And the frozen peas. A little more onion and some garlic, it was really good. We will make it again.

Big Soft Ginger Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2009
I just love these cookies! They have the perfect amount of spice - not too much so they are accessible to everyone. They also stay soft and chewy (with a bit of a crisp on the outside). Mine did not come out looking like they do in the picture, instead they looked more like ginger snaps, but they were still delicious. I will be make these again and again!

Easiest Peanut Butter Fudge

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2009
This fudge was very good and came out perfect on my first try (I am not always successful at making fudge). However, I must say that "World's Best Peanut Butter Fudge" (also on this site) is still my favorite recipe.

Cookie Balls

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2009
These are quite tasty. They are very rich, so you can't eat too many. I made them with the holiday candy cane Jo-Jo's (Trader Joe's version of an Oreo). Although these cookie balls are easy to make, the process is quite time-consuming.

Apple Pork Chops

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2009
This recipe was just okay and I probably won't make it again. I had to increase the spices in the glaze as other reviewers suggested, but this recipe was still mediocre at best.

Cake Mix Cookies VIII

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2009
Wow! These delivered super moist, chewy cookies. I used a spice cake mix, substituted the butter with 3/4 C pumpkin puree (may explain why they are super soft, but I like them like that!), and omitted the chocolate chips. I topped the cookies with a bit of cream cheese frosting (from this site) that I thinned with some milk. Super easy and super delicious - I will definitely be making these often!

Good recipe, easy to prepare. Do NOT add any salt until the end of the cooking process. Only add salt 'to taste'.

Gene Amole's Stuffing

Made this for Thanksgiving 2009 along with an oyster dressing. Had no real comments from the crowd, but I liked it. Nice combination of flavors and textures.

Slow Cooker Turkey Breast

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009
This turkey was fall-off-the-bone too-die-for! Very delicious and very easy. I had a 5.5lb bone-in turkey breast. I coated the inside of my slow cooker and the outside of the turkey with butter, stuffed the cavity with onion and garlic, and let it go. After 7 hours in the slow cooker, I took the turkey out and roasted it for 30 min to crisp up the skin. Everybody loved it! I will definitely be making turkey like this again.

Double Layer Pumpkin Cheesecake

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009
This was pretty good. I only gave it 4 stars, because I followed the recipe and baked it in a pre-made graham cracker crust, and the texture of the cheesecake was different from those made in a springform pan. Also, I did not think that the bottom "plain" layer stood out - it might as well just have been blended with the pumpkin. Also, this makes a lot of filling, I ended up overfilling my pie crust (because I only had one and I didn't want leftover filling), which left cracks on top. I wasn't too worried about the cracks, I just added a dollop of Cool Whip on top and no one noticed (that being said, I did not cover the whole thing with Cool Whip because I think that would have been too much). Still a good recipe, and may be great with a few alterations.

Eggplant Parmesan II

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009
I do not normally care for Eggplant Parmesan, but this was amazing! I made this dish because my boyfriend requested it for Thanksgiving. I did not bother measuring out the sauce and cheese, instead I just went by how much I wanted to put on (I ended up using way more than the recipe called for). I also followed the advice of others and sweated out the eggplant before proceeding with the breading (excellent suggestion), and I baked the breaded eggplant in the oven for about 15 minutes to let them really crisp up - I think that is what makes this recipe. The eggplant is not totally soggy and bitter, and everyone at my Thanksgiving dinner (even the turkey eaters) really enjoyed it. This one is a keeper.

Divine Hard-Boiled Eggs

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009
Who knew you needed a recipe to boil eggs. This is one of those things that we should all know how to do, but how many of us still have green yolks? Foolproof directions for perfectly boiled eggs. Thank you!

Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce III

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009
I have found some some really good recipes on this site...but this one, hands down, is my Favorite. I decided to make bread pudding for Thanksgiving instead of the usual pies. We moved from New Orleans and miss the great food there, bread pudding is one of their staples, so I have had my share of great bread pudding. And this just may be better than any I have had. I made it the night before and put it in the fridge overnight so it would be cold (the only way I like it). Also, I was running low on cinnamon, I had about 3/4 a tbsp, so I added about 3/4 tsp nutmeg also. We made the sauce, which was perfect, right before dessert so it would be hot. The recipe didn't specify what type of corn syrup, so I used dark. That's how I recommend bread pudding...cold with warm sauce. Thanks So much for sharing, this recipe made Thanksgiving complete. I will make this Every single Thanksgiving, for ever probably! From now on, if we have a turkey, we have this bread pudding.

Broccoli Casserole III

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009
I always made a broccoli casserole sort of similar to this, but it contained Cream of Mushroom and bread crumbs...so does my green bean casserole. So I decided to try this one instead for Thanksgiving for a little variety...my husband was skeptical because he loves my normal holiday broccoli concoction...but this was a hit. I made it slightly differently, boiling the broccoli until thawed and a little soft, I drained it, put it back in the pot, added a little butter, salt and pepper and then the Velveeta, melted it all, put 1/2 in my casserole pan then put a layer of cheddar cheese, then the rest of the broccoli, and the crackers and butter. I think my order of favorites was the turkey, than this, than the sweet potato pudding I made. The crackers and butter make it. Thanks for sharing! I will make this every major holiday!

Megaturkey

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009
This recipe already uses my basic stuffing recipe that I love, so I decided to try it and we LOVED it. We will definitely make it again, and again, and again. Ours was 13 lbs, and it was just right. Not so many left overs that they will go bad, but just right for a family of 4. The turkey was moist and wonderful and the apples (I used green) were a great touch. I did use salt, pepper and garlic powder on outside of the turkey before putting it in the bag. The hardest part of the recipe was finding the oven bags the day before Thanksgiving, the first 2 stores were sold out! Thanks for sharing!!!

Chocolate Truffle Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009
HOLY COW! That was my reaction the first time I bit into one of these cookies. I can not begin to tell you the accolades I have received over these little gems. Rich, chewy, chocolate-y; these cookies are amazing. I will definitely be making these a lot more often! Thanks for one of the best recipes I have ever tried!
