Seasoned Broccoli Spears

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009
My boyfriend loved this. Personally, I am not a huge fan of thyme so I'd reduce that amount in the future. Will make this again, thank you!

Potato Bacon Chowder

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009
This was pretty good. I think it needed more potatoes, but the flavor was good. I used fat-free milk and fat-free sour cream, so the soup wasn't as thick as I'd like. (Just an FYI for those who want to use fat-free ingredients.)

Restaurant Style Chicken Nachos

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2009
It was good. I added sour cream on top of it. The recipe had too much green onion, in my opinion. I liked the addition of salsa. I used colby/monterey jack mix since I didn't have a cheddar/monterey jack blend.

Veronica's Apple Pancakes

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2009
These were really good. I'm not a pancake fan, but I did enjoy these. I used red delicious apples, so my bf thought they were a bit bland, but I'm positive he'd like them better if I had used a tart apple like the recipe says to.

California Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2009
Very tender and juicy. I marinated this like some other people did in olive oil and spices. I'll definitely make this again!

BLT Dip

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009
Amazing! I added a green onion for color and a little bit of extra flavor, but the recipe was a five-star as is. =) I used fat-free sour cream and fat-free mayo. My boyfriend couldn't tell that they were fat-free and he loved it!

French Toast I

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009
It tasted like your average french toast. It was good, but not great. I included all of the optional items. I tried it at first with just the vanilla extract and the nutmeg added...it was definitely better with cinnamon. This is a good, solid french toast.

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds with Sugar and Spice

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2009
Okay, my incarnation of this recipe was a bit of a stretch. We didn't have "pumpkin pie spice"--nor most of the ingredients that comprise it (it is made up of nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and ginger). I didn't have nutmeg, or allspice, and my only ginger was fresh. But I didn't let that stop me! I mixed in some cinnamon, paprika, shaved off some fresh ginger and... it was absolutely tasty! So I wouldn't let lack of particular spices stop you from experimenting with this recipe, you can hardly go wrong.

Ellen Szaller's Mashed Potato Pancakes

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009
I made these in a pinch with instant potatoes and everyone enjoyed them. I omitted the spices and corn syrup and added a bit of extra milk and green onion in addition to the white onion and some onion powder, since my husband loves these oniony.

Slow Cooker Turkey Breast

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2009
The frozen bone-in breast was too big for my little cooker, so I opted for the 3# frozen boneless breast (butterball). I added 1 Tblsp butter to the bottom of the pot, the breast (string still on), and dumped on the dry soup mix. Cooked on high until temperature of bird registered 170. It came out super moist. I was surprised at the amount of fat. Flavor wise, it needed a kick. Maybe I'm just use to the gobs of gravy I use to eat (not anymore). I think I'll try this one again, bigger crock pot and the bone-in bird, and follow suggstions by other cooks. I'm happy to have the turkey for future meals. Will be freezing pre-meausred portions. Love the simplicity of the crockpot.

Simple Whole Roasted Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2009
Wonderful bird! I doubled the spices like I had read on other reviews... it was a bit overwhelming, but still SUPER delicious. Next time, I won't double the spices... I'll make it just as it is called for. Still a 5 out of 5 star rating!

Cream of Cauliflower Soup II

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009
I'm not a fan of cauliflower, but it was SO cheap I couldn't resist! I went on my quest to find an alternative cooking method and found this soup recipe. It was new and different for me, and as it turns out, a great choice. I made it following the recipe as close as possible. My changes (based on what I had availabe) were using water and better than bouillion stuff; also, 4 skinny old carrots that lurked in the bottom of the vegetable drawer, nonfat milk, about 10 tiny white potates scrubbed and skins left on, and only 1 teaspoon of sherry (I've done sherry in soup before and thought it overwhelmed it, so opted for just a HINT of it in this soup). This soup is a very tasty use for cauliflower. I really like it.

Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009
Another great cookie! I use this recipe in my bakery department at work, and my customers love this cookie. I make jumbo 4oz cookies, because my customers like big cookies. The cookie is soft and chewy and stay chewy and soft for days; however, my cookies never last more than a couple of days on the retail shelves. For variety, I dip the cookie half way into melted semi-sweet chocolate...wow, it has such a awesome look, it is hard to resist.

Chewy Brownie Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009
Great Cookie. I use this recipe in the bakery department I work in and they turn out wonderful everytime. I deleted the water the recipe called for and followed the recipe the rest of the way. The cookie is soft and chewy and continued to stay that way as it was displayed for sale in the cafeteria. I can't keep them on the shelves. I sell out within 2 days if that! I make jumbo cookies 4oz size, because my customers like large cookies. For variety, when the cookie is cooled I dip half the cookie in melted white chocolate. The cookie takes on a very fancy beautiful look that makes it hard for my customer to resist. Sometimes, I use white chocolate chips instead of the chocolate ones.

French Bread Rolls to Die For

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009
I use the recipe in the bakery department at a major hospital in my town. I use this dough when making delicious cheese rolls or you can change it up and make variety cheese and green onion, or cheese and jalepeno rolls. The possibilities are numerous. Simply use your favorite cheddar and cube it up with or without onions or whatever and chop it into the dough. These sell like hotcakes in the hospital cafeteria. The dough has great flavor. Before I put them in the proof box, I brush them with a beaten egg/water mixture. Makes my cheese rolls turn out beautiful in color.

Cornbread Muffins I

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2009
Delicious! Very sweet, but with the hot spicy turkey chili I made (Doc's Chili from Biggest Loser program), they were fabulous! I used 1 cup of canned corn, well drained, and that was good, but would have been great with the whole can (I needed a little corn for another recipe). These aren't for someone on a low calorie diet, but if you make mini muffins and restrict yourself to one, you can have decadent comfort food. Thanks Lisa K for posting this recipe!

Homemade Stewed Tomatoes

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2009
I did not like the tomatoes prepared per this recipe. Learning from another recipe online, I added 2 Tblsp butter, 1 medium onion thinly sliced, 3/4 cup chopped celery, scant 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 2 tsp sugar, 1 bay leaf. Salt level was fine. I simmered in the crockpot on low for 8 hours. The butter smoothed out the acidic tomatoes. Original recipe gets 2 stars, and with changes above it gets 5 stars. (Prior to preparing the original recipe, I had quick peeled the tomatoes and deseeded them).
