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!

Mission Mexican Pizza

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2009

THIS WAS GREAT! "Better than Taco Bell," said my son! Now, that's a compliment! I used some of the ideas from others, based on what I knew my kids would like. First off, I cooked my ground beef just like I would do for tacos (that includes lots of seasonings and salsa). I did have to heat the tortillas for 8 minutes to get them just right. Instead of pizza sauce, I combined a can of Hatch green chili enchilada sauce and Hatch Tex-Mex enchilada sauce and used that instead. I left off the tomatoes and cilantro. So, I know what you're thinking--it was basically just a taco. I will disagree, though. It is the baked flour tortillas that make this so good! Thanks for a great recipe!

Slow Cooker Thai Pork with Rice

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2009

I thought this was very good! I increased the amount of teriyaki and rice wine vinegar so that there would be a little more sauce, and I, too, put the red pepper in the crock pot during the last hour of cooking. I also increased the peanut butter, but next time, I'll use the amount suggested in the recipe. Both of my boys tasted it and said that something was missing. They then sprinkled it with "Rooster" sauce (Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce), and that did the trick! It just wasn't hot enough for them! Thanks for a great recipe!

Leftover Chicken a la King

Reviewed: Jun. 1, 2009

I thought this went over very well! I used 1 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup white cooking wine and 1/4 cup water. I used probably a TBSP of cornstarch, but at the very end, when it still wasn't thickening, I removed about 2 TBSP of the liquid and added a tiny bit of flour to make a paste. When I added it back in it thickened up nicely. I added various spices that we like, served it over rice, and everyone ate a bunch! Thanks for the recipe!

Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2009

This was absolutely delicious! The only change I made was to leave out the tomatoes. We don't care for them and they seem sort of an odd ingredient for this dish. I accidentally cooked the chicken with the garlic, oregano and onion, but the only difference that made was to darken the color of the sauce just a bit. The taste is still just as good. Next time I am going to try making it with shrimp, but it is definitely a keeper. Thanks.

Clark's Quiche

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2008

This is by far the best recipe for quiche. It is DELICIOUS!!. My hat goes off to Clark for this one. He must be quite handy in the kitchen too, because his 15 min. prep time took me 1-1/2 hours. LOL BUT, it was worth every minute. Since I carry this to personal gatherings, I do use my own quiche pie pans and a ready made crust I roll out and form in the dish, but I would change nothing else. I have received the nicest and sweetest compliments every time I serve this dish. Thank you Clark for this AWESOME recipe and sharing such a delicious yummy food with the rest of us!!

Easy Creamy Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2008

I never would have thought about cooking a pork tenderloin in a slow cooker until I read this recipe! This was wonderful! I admit that I followed some suggestions of other reviewers: I browned the tenderloin first and I didn't use the cream of celery soup (I just don't like celery!). Instead, I used cream of potato and cream of mushroom soup. I also cut up a potato or two and threw in some baby carrots. One time I even threw in asparagus! It's very, very good--the whole family loves it!

Chicken Zucchini Casserole

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2008

What a family-pleaser! I made it almost exactly to the recipe: my leftover chicken was mesquite-smoked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, and I used half zuchini and half summer squash instead of JUST zuchini. It was great the next day, too! THANK YOU for an easy recipe that everyone likes!

Romantic Chicken with Artichokes and Mushrooms

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2008

I thought this was pretty good! Most of my family liked it, but they didn't rave about it like they did the Camembert Chicken that I made earlier this week. I did what a few others did--I dredged the chicken in flour and various seasonings, threw minced garlic in the butter and oil, and then fried the breasts. After taking the breasts out of the pan, I threw a bit of wine in the pan and scraped up the brown bits. Then I cooked the mushrooms, onion and artichokes. After they were tender, I then added the artichoke liquid (from non-marinated artichokes) and some wine. I didn't measure, but I didn't use near as much liquid as the recipe said. The liquid thickened right up because of the browned bits of flour. I thought it was a great way to dress up chicken! Thanks for the recipe!

Camembert Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2008

I made this last night, and my family loved it! They thought it was really "fancy". My 12 year old even complimented me on the presentation! I made a few changes--I browned the chicken breasts in about 1 TBSP of butter and a little canola oil. While the chicken was cooking, I sprinkled the breasts with chicken fajita seasoning (we just love the variety of flavors in this seasoning!). I could not find Camembert cheese, so I used brie. My kids won't eat avacado, so I left that out on their portion. We used the sauce on our asparagus as well. My 16 year old wants me to make it with cauliflower next time, because he thought the sauce would be perfect on it. I thought it was great! Thanks for the recipe!

Blueberry French Toast

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2008

This recipe was fantastic! We made it for our New Year's Day breakfast and will do so again. I did do a small bit of changing like some others did, but only by upping the cinnamon and maple syrup a bit and I actually used all the eggs called for because I wanted all of the bread covered. I made it the night before and then as it finished baking I sprinkled sugar crystals over it. I did end up doubling the sauce because I have sweet tooths around here and there wouldnt have been enough to go around. Next time, I am going to try using several different kinds of berries as well.

Peanut Butter Chip Chocolate Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2008

These are my daughter's favorite to bake and to eat. I don't like crispy cookies, so these are perfectly moist and chewy. We keep them stored in a baggie and if they are around... they will stay soft for about a week.

Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2007

This was so easy and delicious! We used leftover turkey roast instead of chicken and I used a bag of frozen veggies in place of the two kinds listed. I didnt have celery seed, but used some taragon and thyme instead. I also used the Kroger brand rolled up pie crust. My daughter loved it, and she doesnt usually like stuff like this.

My Kid's Favorite Pork Chops

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2007

Excellent recipe to make for a group too, just double the liquids. I like darker beer, so I used Sam Adams Brown Ale and in addition to the steak seasoning, I added a bit of fresh chopped rosemary. We ate it with roasted veggies and thick Dutch style noodles also boiled in a beer and some water.

Parmesan Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2007

This was delicious! I made the recipe almost exactly as written--I might have made the cutlets a little thinner than 1/2 inch, though. My son suggested melting a little square of mozzarella on top next time, so I may try that! Very tender, very good flavor! Thanks!

Baby Back Ribs

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2006

DELICIOUS!!! I didn't think it was as easy to clean up as other people did, though. Several of my foil packets leaked and left a mess in the oven. I had put a sheet of foil down as protection, but I missed a few spots! Definitely the best ribs I'VE ever made!!! I used Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, by the way! Thanks for a keeper!
