Feta and Bacon Stuffed Chicken with Onion Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Jun. 11, 2009

I liked this recipe, but my husband thought there was way too much feta cheese in it, which overpowered everything else. I might try this again, using 1/2 of the feta cheese. It was easy to make though, and if you like feta, you'll love this recipe!

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Jun. 11, 2009

Yum yum!! My husband and I loved these, but surprisingly, so did my one year old! I put 2 garlic cloves in the water w/ the potatoes, and then I also added 2 minced cloves to the potatoes when I mashed them. They were great. I didn't use the sesame seeds though. I thought the white pepper really added a nice touch. Great recipe!

Spinach Tomato Tortellini

Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2009

My family and I loved this dish...my one year old kept asking for more! It was so simple, and it is delicious. I actually didn't have any cream on hand, but I had everything else, so I just used evaporated milk in place of the cream and it turned out great. I'll definitely make this one again!

Pet Cookies

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2009

All the baby food jars I've found are 4 oz. so I did use this recipe and formulated my own, using 1 cup of wheat germ, 1 egg, 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1 cup of 10-grain pancake mix and the 3 4-oz jars of sweet potato baby food. Just a note: as there are no preservatives these can develop mold easily, I had to toss some of my last batch.

Ham and Bean Soup II

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2009

As other reviewers noted, I also replaced most of the water with chicken broth. I also added two cans of navy beans as I thought it was thin and needed more and didn't have time to wait to soak more beans. I ran one can through the food processor and just added the other can as is. I added more carrots and celery and instead of slicing them as I did the other veggies, I chopped them in the food processor. After adding more spices including some bacon salt, I ended up with a great soup. Really good and a huge batch of soup.

Citrus Mint Cooler

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2009

Absolutely the most sublime lemonade I've ever experienced! Makes lemonade from concentrate feel terribly inadequate and tremble in shame! The mint it a must--though I've heard this same type of drink works with basil as well.

Favorite Banana Blueberry Quick Bread

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2009

I was sooooo looking forward to this, but I was a little disappointed in it. I thought it was just a little bland. Good, but not great. I might make it again, using cinnamon applesauce instead of the shortening, just for a little extra flavor.

Slow Cooker Barbecue Ribs

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2009

The best slow cooker rib recipe I've tried! The sauce is excellent, the ribs were tender. I did cut the sauce recipe in 1/2, and we had plenty. Everyone, even my one year old, loved them! This recipe is definitely a keeper! Thanks!

Crispy Chocolate Squares

Reviewed: Jun. 1, 2009

Soooo easy to make! The frosting is wholly unnecessary; they are plenty sweet without it. I skipped the peanuts and instead used extra rice cereal to make these go a bit further.

Pineapple Cookies I

Reviewed: May 28, 2009

I probably didn 't drain the pineapple enough and so got a more cake-like cookie. I didn't feel like adding the raisins and added dried cranberries instead. I substituted about 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour for some of the all-purpose flour. We really liked the cookie, probably not as much if it had been a more chewy cookie, but as I mentioned that was probably my fault. I'll drain the pineapple more next time.

Spicy Sausage and Rice Casserole

Reviewed: May 28, 2009

I try to not revise recipes when I make them the first time, but I broke that policy with this recipe. I had already purchased chicken sausage from Sunflower Market and had that on hand. My husband stated he didn't feel like rice so I substituted Rice Pilaf (okay, so it is still rice!) and made the rice with chicken broth. We didn't have alot of time so I made everything on top of the stove and mixed in a large sauce pan instead of baking it as a casserole. It was very good and I will make it again. Also, I reheated leftovers in the microwave with some grated Mexican mix grated cheese. Really good!

Crunchy Apple Muffins

Reviewed: May 19, 2009

I doubled this recipe and as I did not have any granola on hand, I substituted some oat flake cereal that I crushed. Good recipe. I think next time I need to use an apple with more tartness. Great topping!

Southern Living Magazine's Chicken-Fried Steak

Reviewed: May 15, 2009

I've been making this recipe for years, and this is hands down my favorite chicken fried steak recipe. Just as good as Cracker Barrel's. I make a few adjustments. I cut everything in the gravy in half, except the flour. Comes out perfect. I also cut the egg mixture in half as it is too much and just goes to waste. I make all of the cracker mix and only put what I need out to bread the cube steaks. The rest goes in a ziploc bag for the next time. Also, I only pour enough oil in the fry pan to sufficiently fry the steak in. Easy to make, and authentic southern!

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: May 11, 2009

Wonderful, versatile muffin recipe. I also made just the topping for a Cinnamon Supper Cake also on AllRecipes. I will be making this again today although I made a double batch yesterday as my very tall Doberman got to the muffins as they were cooling on the counter and ate 11 of them. I was furious with him, but he seemed to love them too. I will put them out of his reach from now on. Additional comment 06/08/09: Made these again and kept them away from pooch this time. I used a jumbo muffin tin and got six large muffins. I also substituted 1/2 cup of the flour using whole wheat trying for a more healthful version. Also, my husband works as a produce manager in a grocery store, you can ask for overripe bananas at most grocery stores and they'll even discount them for you instead of having to wait for the bananas to get to overripe stage.

Scalloped Potatoes and Onions

Reviewed: May 5, 2009

05/06/09- Easy to make and didn't even have to go to the grocery store before preparation as I had everything on hand. What a easy and impressive potato dish. Loved it! 09/08/09- I have made these several times since my review in May. I usually add 1 or 2 potatoes and double the sauce portion of the recipe using half and half or milk instead of doubling the amount of chicken broth. It makes for a creamy and tasty potato dish and so easy. I don't think the 2 hour baking time is really needed, a little over an hour usually does it.

I used whole wheat flour and probably shouldn't have. Also, I added an egg. I think my s/o liked these more than I did since he practically ate them all in one sitting. I used a European berry mix preserve that suited the recipe really well.

Cinnamon Crisps

I'm glad I ignored the prior reviews, I really liked these cookies. I did substitute oat flakes cereal for the cornflakes. The cereal was also a cinnamon flavor with raisins, but the recipe gets a big thumbs up from me.
