Cajun Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

Reviewed: May 14, 2008
Great "authentic" gumbo - I've lived on the bayou all my life and I just cringe when I read a recipe for gumbo that includes tomatoes - a true gumbo does not have tomatoes!!! This is very close to the gumbo I make.

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

This recipe is wonderful! I add 1tsp of vanilla extract (I love vanilla!) I now use it everytime I make pancakes. I'll never buy boxed pancake mix again!

Mama's Tomato Gravy

Reviewed: May 13, 2008
I've made Tomato Gravy in the past, but never had actually seen a recipe for it. I didn't have tomato paste, so used tomato sauce instead (just used a tad more flour to make sure it would thicken) and once the gravy started thickening, I added some Petite diced tomatoes. We use this over rice... never had over biscuits.

French Toast Casserole

Reviewed: May 12, 2008
This is a great way to get rid of any bread leftovers! (Warning! This is another one of those reviews that "change" things...though I prefer to think of the changes as suggestions or alternates, in case you don't have something on hand. Plus, it's really cool to see what others have done with a recipe. I'm also a big fan of incorporating leftovers into later meals so they don't go to waste...) Anyway--I was trying to get rid of some day(s) old pound cake when I came across this recipe, so that's what I used instead of regular bread. (it was Cream Cheese Pound Cake III from All Recipes, and we'd had it with fruit and whipped cream a couple days before..Very good!) I sliced the cake into thick strips and spread them out in a tightly packed single layer at the bottom of a 9*13 Pyrex pan. I put the filled dish in a slightly warmed oven while preparing the topping to crisp it up a bit. I followed the topping ingredients pretty closely--though I did reduce the sugar to 1/2 tsp (pound cake has more than enough), adding a little more cinnamon and vanilla to taste, leftover peach/applesauce, (about 1/2 cup) and a generous dollop of maple syrup. I poured the mixture over the pound cake slices and left it in the fridge overnight. It didn't "puff" up as much as bread would have, but it came out smelling, looking, and tasting just great! I sprinkled the top lightly with powdered sugar while it was cooling. It wasn't too soggy, (the larger pan really helped with that) tasted exactl

Chicken Alfredo Pizza

Reviewed: May 12, 2008
What a perfectly tasting pizza idea! I had to adapt this to a LOT of guests (and therefore, a lot of toppings,) so here are my thoughts. I opted to use All-Recipes' "Jay's Signature Pizza Crust" for the dough recipe, and worked in the cheese and herbs as directed here. For the sake of time, I used a couple cans of prepared Alfredo sauce, added 3-4 oz cream cheese and 1 cup of Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and garlic powder (to taste) I made the garlic butter and seasoned chicken as directed. (I baked and hand shredded the chicken breasts) Other toppings I added: crispy bacon and roughly chopped onion. YUMMY! Definitely a keeper. Everyone asked for more!

Jay's Signature Pizza Crust

Reviewed: May 12, 2008
Fantastic says it all! I rarely hand-make pizza, so I was a little nervous, but both pies came out perfect! I made Chicken Alfredo Pizza (minus the dough) from All-Recipes (recipe by lighthousekeeper)and worked in 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, 1/2 tablespoon rosemary, 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning, and a 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder into the dough. I don't have a pizza stone, so I pre-cooked the dough for about 6-7 minutes before topping it. Yummy! Can't wait to make more!

Gooey Butter Cake III

Reviewed: May 9, 2008
This recipe was awesome! I had tried this cake several times before at various parties and gatherings, and never knew what it was called. And then, finally, at a recent St. Patty's Day party I overheard someone call it Gooey-sticky cake, so I thought I would give this recipe a try. And it was perfect! It was exactly what I was looking for! BTW, you should DEFINITELY let it set overnight before serving. It is so much better the next day!

Granny Kat's Pumpkin Roll

Reviewed: May 8, 2008
I really enjoyed this. It was a little bit of work, but I have never made a rolled cake before. I made it for Thanksgiving, and everyone really enjoyed it (although one person said it was too cake-y), and of course their favorite part was the frosting! I'm sure I will be making this again.

Caramel Pecan Pie

Reviewed: May 8, 2008
This was great! Tasted just like regular pecan pie (in case you are worried that it would be too caramel-y). I made it for Christmas dinner, and it was the first time I EVER made pecan pie, and everyone loved it. My dad even finished it later that night! Very easy, I will definitely be making this again!

Paul's Pumpkin Bars

Reviewed: May 8, 2008
I'm giving this 5 stars because everyone who tried them loved them. I took them to a holiday party, and everyone raved about them! However, I had one right after I made them, and then another during the party, and each time I felt like I just dropped a lead brick in my stomach. Not sure why, and I probably won't make them again, but, like I said, everyone else loved them. They are very easy to make, so I would suggest trying them out for yourself.

Chicken and Corn Chili

Reviewed: May 8, 2008
This is such a great dish for a chilly night! I love making it because it's so easy (I have the recipe memorized now), and easily adjusted to fit your own taste. I substitute frozen corn for canned, sometimes use black or kidney beans rather than pinto, and usually add more spices (I love garlic and heat!). Such a classic recipe, I will probably never grow tired of it!
