Chris' Bay Area Burger

These were good, but next time I'm only going to use 1 clove of garlic- I love garlic, but that was all I could taste. They are juicy. Thanks for sharing.

1/2 cup unpopped kernels equals 4 quarts of popcorn in my air popper. I used dark corn syrup--what I had and I forgot to add the baking soda. My corn wasn't as crunchy--more chewy of a texture due to the baking soda omission, otherwise it was perfect!

Oven-Roasted Potatoes

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2009

I cut mine a little smaller so they would cook with my filleted boneless/skinless breast pieces. I liberally covered them with garlic/onion powder salt and pepper, and tossed them in some veggie oil. They stuck a little bit, but weren't too hard to get off--and they had the crunchy roasted feeling/taste all over, which is what I was aiming for.

Easy Barbeque Chicken and Red Potatoes

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2009

I did my chicken and potatoes separate...barbeque sauce covered chicken just didn't sound good to me. I cut my potatoes a little smaller so they were overdone when the chicken was done...the kids ate them anyway.

Pepperoncini Beef

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2009

This was certainly easy to make. It makes a tasty sandwich. I covered with peppered havarti cheese. I would make sure you toast the buns because the meat is moist and it helps not make the bread soggy.

Slow-Cooked German Short Ribs

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2009

This was ok for us. Not sure I would make this again. I think I prefer it in the oven over the slow cooker.

Slow Cooker Beef Stew III

Reviewed: Sep. 14, 2009

Omitted the onion soup mix and seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Added a really big scoop of minced garlic. Didn't have the mushrooms so I omitted them. Used the water, plus some bullion AND some red wine for depth. Started it at 7am and was fall apart tender at 5:45. Perfect with homemade wheat bread. Thanks!

Krissy's Easy Chocolate Triple Layer Pie

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2009

5 stars for appearance, 4 stars for taste. The pudding had little grandules remaining in in it no matter how much I mixed it. Tasted light and chocolaty though. The kids loved it with a crushed heath bar on top.

Cream Cheese Jalapeno Hamburgers

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009

it was messy to cook burgers with mixture in middle and then once on bun, it all oozed out as soon as you took a bite. I think messy is fine as long as it tastes really good and for me it needed more seasoning besides cream cheese/jalop mixture.I'm willing to try making it again with more seasoning or also mixing it all together so it's less messy...

Taco Pie

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2009

The kids didn't like it, I couldn't believe it. I thought it was ok, not worthy of 5 stars though. It is ez to make, but not a ton of flavor. I would add some more spice to it, some jalapenos, sweated onion and avocado to give it more flavor.

Julia's Easy Slow Cooker Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2009

I used 3 FROZEN boneless skinless chicken breasts, stated amount of potatoes, 1/2 package of onion soup mix, 1 can of water and milk mixed together and a heaping TSP of cornstarch. I didn't have cream of mushroom soup so I used cream of chicken. I put it on low for 10 hours (long work day). My 3yo loved the chicken--my 8yo and I loved the potatoes. Nice for a comfort food cold winter night! Thanks!

Herb Biscuits

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2009

These were good and went fast, but personally I would have liked something a little crunchier. I scaled the butter back to 4 tbsp and substituted the dill/parsley for a healthy shake of Italian seasoning blend. I also added some garlic powder and minced garlic, with a dash of parmasean cheese over all. I baked mine according to package directions and used 2 cans of biscuit dough in 2 cake pans (doubling the entire butter/herb mixture)...and still had nothing left.

Tomato Cucumber Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2009

I used 2 roma tomatoes and 1 large cucumber (peeled). I removed the seeds from the cucumber and tomatoes, then sprinkled with salt to remove the excess moisture. I eyeballed the lemon juice and added a splash of garlic infused olive oil, a dash of dried italian seasoning and pepper as stated. I used 1/2 of a green onion (I prefer a lighter onion flavor). I let it sit overnight and ended up eating the ENTIRE thing for breakfast because I couldn't get enough of it. This will be made often--OUTSTANDING!

Southern Peach Cobbler

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2009

Yummy! I've made this twice now- the first time almost to a "t" and then the second time I made the following changes: I increased the dough by half, and waited till 5 mins before taking it out of the oven to put the cinnamon sugar on- this way and doesn't burn/brown. I will make this one over and over again! Thanks!

Spicy Basil Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2009

I think what really makes or breaks this dish is the oyster sauce and the basil you use. I think that sweet basil pairs well with this dish and the brand of oyster sauce I used was Good Luck which I didn't think was the best. I will try another brand next time. I didn't have chili oil so I used vegetable oil which was fine. I used 2 serrano chilies and 1 anaheim. I like spicy and it was plenty spicy enough. I almost threw in some Sriracha and I am glad I didn't. Overall it was really good and I will be making it again.

Easy Broccoli Quiche

Reviewed: Aug. 6, 2009

I made this last night with limited ingredients in my kitchen. I made it exactly as stated except I didn't have a pie crust (so I guess I made a fritatta?)It was good and the eggs were light and fluffy. My only issue was that I got a lot of water in the pie plate when it was done. Not sure where it came from since the broccoli was cooked with the onions. Mine was set and cooked in the 30 minute time frame. The only thing I can say to the reviewer that it didn't set in that time is all ovens are different. Thanks for sharing.
