Garden Stuffed Baked Potatoes

Reviewed: Mar. 7, 2008

Needs more salt and pepper...maybe some garlic and more onion flavor. Very good. I liked the use of the broccoli...gets more veggies in the diet! I'm a big butter fan....sooooo I would add butter next time.

Turnip Casserole

Reviewed: Mar. 7, 2008

Interesting use of turnips but it was a watery mushy mess. Tasted like what you would do with a sweet potato....I was hoping it would taste like one too, but it didn't. Probably won't make it again. I give it 3 stars because the taste wasn't horrible, just not my kind of thing.

Krazy Garlic Trout

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2008

Turned out kind of bland. Will try it again, though, and maybe put some more stuff inside the fish cavity.

Real Sopapillas

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2008

They didn't get very brown like I thought they would. However, they did puff (yeah!), and the flavor was very good. I did not use a deep fryer...I put about 2inches of oil in a deep cast iron skillet instead, on medium heat. That could account for them not being brown. Very good taste!

Banana Date Flaxseed Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2008

Impressed. I thought it would be extremely dry and crumbly and would fall apart. I like a dense banana bread. I didn't put in the dates (didn't have any), so this is still a good recipe without the extras.

Tater Tot Bake

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2008

I wasn't extremely impressed. The flavor was bland. I even tried to give it some kick with onion soup mix. It is a good idea, and a quick recipe, just not for my taste buds again.

No Bake Cookies V

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2008

Just what I wanted. The consistency was a little off (still gooey after cooling for several hours). However, that was partly my fault, I think I let the mixture boil too long. So keep an eye on it!

Cajun Cabbage with Rice

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2008

I've been trying to incorporate more vegetables in the diet...and I could do this with the cabbage. You don't really have to like cabbage either! I spiced the recipe up a little more with crushed red pepper. My husband liked it better as leftovers, and the cabbage kept most of it's consistency (didn't turn mushy and wilty).

Very Very Very good soup. I added some Balsamic vineger, and it goes very well with everything in this recipe. Very healthy also.

Slow Cooker Apple-Scented Venison Roast

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2008

I've never had deer roast so tender. It was falling apart when I tried to take it out of the cooker. I took the advice of some of the other reviewers. I cooked the roast, apples, and onions overnite in the crockpot (about 10 hrs) on low. Then added frozen veggies with broth and cheap regular beer. Most excellent!

Million Dollar Pie III

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2007

I made this for a Christmas meal dessert for my family this year! It made a nice, tall slice of pie! People were going back for seconds, and told me that from now on, whenever we get together, I have to make and bring this pie! Total crowd pleaser (and I have a tough crowd!)

Microwave Peanut Brittle

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2007

I don't know if I am doing something wrong. I don't get the rich carmel color, and it's way too chewy. Someone told me I wasn't cooking it long enough, but I did the cold water/hard ball test, and I got it to the hard ball phase. Am I just not stirring the baking powder long enough or something? My family loves peanut brittle, and I would love to be the one they get it from! HELP!

Crazy Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2007

My mom made this recipe for me for every birthday, i am so glad i found it! Once you have had the crazy chocolate cake, no other cake really stacks up. I use a fudge type homemade icing and put it on while both are hot. The icing melts right into the cake and i don't think it could be better. A favorite in my family and friends, always asked for.

Buttermilk Bread II

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2007

I'm always looking for recipes to use up buttermilk left from making butter. This turned out excellent! I used butter instead of margarine and being a lazy cook, I dumped all the ingredients into my mixer bowl and used the dough hooks for 8 minutes. Let it rise and made hamburger buns out of it. Let the formed buns rise for another 30 minutes, popped them in the oven for 12 minutes or so and YUM!! They rose nice and tall with a soft texture and were delicious. Thanks for the recipe, it'll be one of my keepers.

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Reviewed: May 15, 2007

This was good. My husband does not like fish. I made this recipe and then I made a salmon. He said the salmon was too "fishy" but said this recipe he could eat and he does not like fish. I added 1/4 cup crushed butter crackers to the topping. I think you could have gone a bit less on the cheese. Other then that it was great. Everyone liked it, my 11 year old brother went back for seconds...and thirds before bed time!!

Raspberry Trifle

Reviewed: May 15, 2007

I made this for my mom's early Mother's Day dinner. It was excellent. My husband said it was "Resturant quality." I forgot to get two bags of raspberries and used some fresh sliced strawberries with one bag of raspberries and it turned out good. I finished the last bit of it last night. WILL be making this again!
