Cranberry Pot Roast

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009
Awesome! Had freshly made cranberry/orange sauce left over from Thanksgiving. Used twice the sauce called for and 1/2 the liquids, it turned out perfect! It wasn't very cranberry'ish but it had an interesting flavor nobody could put their finger on. Thickened the gravy with cornstarch and re-seasoned with salt/ pepper. Great over mashed potatoes and green beans....

Roast Pork with Maple and Mustard Glaze

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009
This was an amazing recipe. I did have to cook the meat for a bit longer (about 1 hr. and 25 mins for just over a 2 lb. roast), but it was really flavorful. The sauce was a little thin, but I basted it every 15-25 minutes, as well as turned it once, and it was really a success!

Lime Gelatin Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009
Fantastic! I have never made jello salad with mandarins before but it turned out great. It jelled perfectly, served cut into squares on lettuce leaves. My guests ate it with their Thanksgiving dinner and as dessert.

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009
Really great! Used garlic and onion cream cheam cheese and black forest ham instead of the prosciutto. Cooked the asparagus crisp-tender before baking and sprinkled fresh black pepper on top. Served room temp. They were the first to go! My guests stood over the pan and ate them as appetizers!

Slow Cooker Apple Butter

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009
I'd never had apple butter before so this was a very pleasant surprise. It was sooo easy! I used red delicious because I was given a huge amount of them and I only like to eat granny smith. Also, I used the splenda blend brown sugar an cut the entire amount of added sugar. It was still plenty sweet and very delicious! Also, since I've never had apple butter, I wasn't sure, is it supposed to be completely smooth or not? Mine wasn't so I put it in the blender before canning it up. I'm having it this morning over yogurt. Thank you!!!

Blackened Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2009
Tried this tonight, it was FANTASTIC! A little spicy for my 7 year old, but everyone else loved it. I doubled it and used thin cut chicken breasts...don't have a cast iron skillet, so I just got a regular nonstick pan super hot, fried four of them together for a minute on each side, then put them on the cookie sheet in the oven for ten minutes. When I pulled them out of the oven to check them for doneness, they were like BUTTER :) Served them sliced on a simple salad with fat free ranch dressing....soooo good!

Perfect Turkey

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2009
I made this turkey for my son's preschool Thanksgiving Feast... it was great!! I added a lot of extra carrots to the pan and the veggies were amazing! I also made a butter/flour roux based gravy from the drippings. I will definitely use this recipe again! ***Regarding flipping a hot turkey*** I took my square pot holders and sealed them in Ziploc bags then used them to turn the turkey over. Kept my hands from burning and kept my pot holders clean. Worked great!!

Cornucopia

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2009
This was super easy and fun! One thing to be careful of, my cornucopia was done in about half the baking time. Almost a little too done! So, check the oven after 20 min and again every 5 min or so and it should be perfect! Also, I used the garlic breadsticks instead of the regular ones. I intend on eating that sucker! =)

Asian Orange Chicken

We enjoyed this very much, despite the fact that I did not marinate the chicken. Only needed half the sauce and turned out great. Will add veggies next time.

Sweet Potato Bread I

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2009
I've been skimming through sweet potato dessert recipes and I've noticed something in the reviews. Some say a recipe is entirely too sweet, others say just fine, and yet others say its not sweet enough. At first I thought well that's opinions for you. But after making the batter for this bread and cutting the sugar in half, its still very sweet. I can't imagine how sweet it would've been if I used all the sugar! That being said, I think it takes experience when working with vegetables that can have a varying degree of sweetness (or any variance for that matter). I used the same potatoes for potato wedges and found them entirely too sweet. So beware! Take into consideration your specific potato. Other than that, its a good recipe. Also, if you want whole grain goodness but not the harsh taste and texture, use whole grain pastry flour or whole grain white flour. They are more delicate versions of the normal wheat grain but all the nutrition.

Mexican Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2009
Very delicious! The crunch from the chips really make this dish! *I added white rice to the bottom of the dish along with chicken stock/water. The rice was still alittle hard after baking the recommended time. Will increase time 5-10 minutes next time.

Great basic recipe for chicken, fish or pasta. This is a staple for me. You can add other herbs and spices to suite whatever you are using this recipe for.

Creamy Beef Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009
I LOVED this dish! However, the two teenagers didn't care for it, and my husband thought it was just "okay" (that's why I gave it 4 stars-I averaged all of our ratings!). To me, this is the ultimate in comfort food, just like other users have said. I didn't change anything, other than halving the recipe. Looks like I'll get to enjoy the leftovers! This will make a great pot-luck dish!
