Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2009
This recipe is wonderful as written. I didn't change a thing, and they turned out delicious every time! I have cut this recipe in half (when it's just the 2 of us) and the pancakes are still light and fluffy! I recommend a good maple syrup to drizzle on top.. Yum! Tried honey on top, and think the maple syrup is best.

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff I

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009
Didn't make any changes to recipe, and it was ok.. but will probably change it up a bit next time like other reviewers suggested. It seemed like it was missing something.

Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009
I've made this atleast a dozen times, and my husband LOVES it! I use a roasted chicken (like you find in a grocery store), frozen peas/carrots, and pre-made pillsbury pie crusts.. and it still tastes awesome! Doesn't take long to throw together, and anyone can do this! Super easy, I encourage everyone to try it!

Too Much Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009
Made this for my best friend's birthday, and she loved it! Topped it with Satiny Chocolate Glaze. It definitely tasted best when warm, so we put a couple slices in the microwave after it had been sitting out awhile. Will make again and try different toppings on it.

Country Apple Dumplings

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009
Easy, quick, and absolutely delicious! Didn't use as much Mt. Dew as the recipe calls for, and they still turned out great. The only negative is I've probably gained 20 lbs from eating them today! :) YUM!!

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009
The original recipe is good, but we like a sweeter banana bread. So the second time I made it, I added vanilla, cinnamon, and a bit more sugar and it was just right! Both times, it came out super moist with wonderful banana flavor. Baked in a bundt pan for 40 minutes. If you like a bread that is not too sweet, then choose this recipe.

Microwave Lemon Curd

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2009
I was so disappointed in this at first because I was making it for a small breakfast party with friends and it tasted rather "eggy" so I thought I'd over cooked. Well, then I strained it to get the bigger bits of lemon zest out and the eggy taste was barely there, but still enough to bug me. HOWEVER, after a night in the fridge it was wonderful. Fabulous! Amazing! No eggy taste, just wonderful, tart, sweet, lemon! I followed the recipe exactly and I will make again...maybe today. Sadly, due to an oven malfunction, the scones I was to serve it with didn't turn out, so it wasn't served either, but I managed to eat the whole batch on other things ALL BY MYSELF, in just days :) Thanks for a great and easy recipe!

Lamb Chops with Balsamic Reduction

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2009
This fantastic recipe is both simple and elegant. My only adjustment to it was sauteing a couple of cloves of garlic along with the scallions (of course, this is a personal preference). I will definitely be making this again!

Mexican Rice II

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2009
Yay to the AR Exchange for recommending this to me! This is just what I was looking for and I'll be making it again :-). The only changes I made didn't change any ingredients or measurements. Since I don't buy garlic salt, I used fresh garlic and 1/2 tsp of sea salt. I did wash the rice, but then I always wash white rice, and I added the tomato sauce a couple minutes before adding the broth just to cook the tomato flavor a bit, but the measurements are great, as is the flavor! Thank you so much for the recipe. UPDATE 2/28/09: Just made this a second time and had to go by memory since my computer was down that day...STILL AMAZING! The only thing I do differently, is to let it sit, covered, off the heat about 20 minutes after cooking has finished. This time, before letting it sit, I added a cup of partially thawed, frozen sweet peas and carrots on the top and quickly put the lid back on, then fluffed and stirred to mix upon serving. I liked the added flavors and texture. I swear I'm addicted to this rice.

Beef Enchiladas II

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2009
This recipe was easy, but these are not enchiladas -- burritos, yes. My husband enjoyed them and called the recipe Enchiritos. Enchiladas are made with corn tortillas, burritos are made with flour tortillas.

Amy's Cilantro Cream Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008
I just got done making this for our family/come-one-come-all Christmas Eve tomorrow and if it gets any better after sitting a day I don't know if I can stand it! The only thing I did differently from the recipe was to add minced garlic from a jar instead of garlic powder. I only did that because when I grabbed the bottle of powder I realized I only had about 1/2 tsp and I was making a double batch; so I had to do some quick math! This is so very good and I'm thinking of all sorts of things it can go on. It's limitless! My only error was in doubling the batch because I just didn't think it would make very much. But I found that one batch made a full three cups. No bother. I like it so much I don't think it will be a problem! Thank you Amy!

Hamburger Rice Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008
Delicious! I just made it and ate it. As with any soup recipe, I made some alterations to suit my taste and the ingredients I happened to have. I added a bunch of spinach at the end of cooking, which gave it nice color (also I was out of celery.) Also, I added a beef bullion cube, chili powder to taste, a couple splashes of hot sauce, and a couple splashes of Worchestershire sauce. (I had read other review and agreed the flavor needed a kick.) Also added a clove of garlic and a couple of green peppers from my mom's garden. Thanks for a great recipe; I will make it again! (Sorry for the alterations, I just can't help myself.)

Fantastic! Love that it was filled with veggies, and the hot sauce gave it a tasty kick without really adding much heat. I will be making this again, thanks!!

Penne Pasta with Spinach and Bacon

Very good! I added Canadian bacon to make it a main dish without adding so much fat. It was all eaten quickly; thanks for a good recipe! (I also used whole wheat egg noodles.)

Mexican Chicken and Black Bean Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2008
Okay so I love Mexican food!! If you are afraid of the fat from the tortilla chips or even the taco shells...this is the lean side. Although the we are not fans of the black beans, we substatuted a can of whole kernal corn. If you are not sure about using the chicken in this you can replace it for ground turkey. This recipe was overall the best Mexican makeover lean style.

Bean Soup With Kale

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2008
What? Only 5 stars possible? I made this a while back, but I'm having the last of my frozen leftovers tonight. This is AWESOME! It's quick and easy and so tasty and filling! I made it at the height of a nationwide tomato recall, so I used a can of diced tomatoes...spectacular! Due to my mood that day, and the availability of hot smoked sausage in my freezer, I added about 1/3 lb of it thinly sliced before I sauteed the onion. I also added three thinly sliced carrots, just because I am a carrot addict and you can't have too many veggies. I hate when people completely change a recipe, but those were the only changes I made and I can tell that it would have been great without them. The only downside to my batch of soup was NOT due to the recipe, but due to my laziness when it came to chopping the kale. I left it too big to be spoon friendly. Just letting others know this so they will chop their kale well. Yummy, yummy, yummy, and thank you for this recipe! LOVE IT!

Spaghetti Sauce II

Reviewed: Jun. 26, 2008
This recipe is really simplistic but absolutely wonderful. I did have to make a couple of changes. Instead of 1/4 cup of wine, I added 1 cup of low sodium chicken broth. I used a 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes. Also I only had ground oregano, so I used 1/2 tsp of that. Otherwise it is just like the recipe and it makes enough to divide and freeze half. I won't ever buy sauce from the store again. Thanks for a great new favorite in our house!

This was a great recipe! I made this recipe as a appetizer for a party. I'm so glad I boiled two dozen eggs, because everyone could not stop eating them. I added Hormel real bacon bits as a garnish. WOW! CimCat

Easy and good -- decreased recipe to 1 instead of 5, and the integrity of the original recipe did not seem to be affected. Will keep this in my recipe box for future reference.
