Bruschetta Chicken Bake

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2009
Ahhhmazing. My family loves this meal. It's super easy and comes out just delicious! I am a hug fan of this recipe. Although it's great without changing a thing, it can also be customized for just about any taste. When I make it for my husband I use spicy diced tomatoes and when I make it for my mom, I use less cheese, no salt and dice fresh tomatoes. Always a pleaser in my kitchen!

Simple Carnitas

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009
I need to clarify a few things. First, carnitas are heavily seasoned but not flavored. Seasoning is basically salt but flavors mainly come from condiments. I changed out the lard for water lowering the fat content and added orange based on flavors I found in restaarants in Mexico. American tastes have added a tremendous amount of flavor enhancers(spices, chilies, etc. to the dish). You can make this into whatever you want. I prefer it crisped up in a little oil after it's shredded into chunks( and a little extra kosher salt sprinkled over it. If you want more spice add this at this time.

Creamy Macaroni and Cheese

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2009
Wow, this is a fantastic recipe! Not the best I've ever had, but this earns my five stars for ease of preparation, short time it takes to make, and taste. I like baked mac & cheese best but sometimes there just isn't time to make it and I really wanted a good go-to quick recipe that I could whip up at any time. This recipe fit the bill perfectly! It was creamy, rich, and wonderfully cheesey; everything macaroni and cheese should be. The Dijon mustard is a nice touch but I don't always have it on hand and you don't miss it. I actually like it better without. As for the evaporated milk, I'm not a big fan of using it so I used light cream (half n' half). You should serve this as soon as the cheese has melted and the pasta has been stirred in. If you heat it for too long and keep stirring and stirring it the cheese will curdle. Not cool. This recipe does make a ton and even though I halved it I still got a lot. Even so it didn't last long! Next time I'll add a bit more pasta since it was a little saucy but other then that it was perfect!

Laura's Lemon Roasted Potatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2009
This was very tasty and full of flavor! However, I found the oil amount a bit overwhelming and by the time the potatoes were done they were still swimming in the oil. That's saying a lot considering I almost never find a recipe that has too much fat for me. I will make this again, but with about half the amount of oil and butter. I used olive oil instead of canola because #1, it's healthier, and #2, it adds more flavor and it simply the best for roasted potatoes. Coconut oil would be great as well too. The lemon flavor wasn't extremely strong and didn't give you that punch-in-the-face burst but just lingered in the background, complementing the buttery, crisp and perfectly seasoned potatoes. For a more lemon flavor I'd add some lemon zest and maybe a touch more lemon juice. This is great recipe; the potatoes came out flavorful, tender, and slightly crisp. Talk about yum!

Restaurant Style Egg Drop Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2009
This was great! We loved it and it didn't last long at all! The flavor is rich yet subtle and very savory. Be sure to use a good quality chicken stock and eggs since the soup will only be as good as your stock and eggs. If the flavor is too rich for you substitute some of the stock for water. I used soy sauce instead of salt in this recipe since it gives it a more "authentic" flavor. Be sure the drizzle the eggs in by the fork as the recipe directs since that is what will give you the perfect size egg drops. If the top becomes filled with the egg before you're done just push it to the side and continue dropping. I don't think it's necessary to use only an egg yolk, you can use another whole egg instead.

Arrachera (Skirt Steak Taco Filling)

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2009
Used this on a thick skirt steak. Not for tacos, just a steak. Very, very good. I didn't have any white pepper(had used it all up) so I substituted chipotle hot sauce. Added juice of 1 lime and low sodium soy sauce. Excellent flavor. Family gobbled it up w/ avocado salsa. Thanks ShareBear!

Sweet and Sour Pork III

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2009
This was a good version. The sauce was very much like takeout. I enjoyed it while my family didn't care for it. Added a little extra cider vinegar to cut the sweetness.

Oh-So-Good Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009
This was great! It made an excellent quick & easy lunch and a great way to use up some leftovers. I used a little less salsa then the recipe called for and it was perfect.

Scrumptious Baked Chicken and Potatoes

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009
This was just okay. The chicken didn't brown up and get crispy and the amount of liquid was a little too much. Overall it was kinda bland, which is surprising considering I used chicken stock instead of water. The potatoes were pretty good with nice flavor (but not enough). Conclusion: I've had much better baked chicken.

Abbey's White Chocolate Latte

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009
This. was. amazing.! It was rich, creamy and frothy with the perfect balance of chocolate and coffee flavors. It definitely does not need the extra sugar. Just leave it out, the chocolate provides the perfect amount of sweetness. Regular chocolate chips would work just as well in this recipe too. If you don't have any espresso on hand just substitute regular, strong black coffee (a great way to use up leftover brewed coffee). I found that I didn't need to chop the chocolate chips. Just throw them in and whisk really well until it's all melted. It may take a couple seconds longer but that's not bad at all considering you don't have to spend that time chopping the chips up and dirtying a knife and chopping board. Just make sure the espresso/coffee isn't at boiling point. Top the latte with a dollop of vanilla whipped cream for the ultimate latte experience.

Very good overall. Doubled the sauce. Used half sweet chili sauce and half ketchup. Added 1 diced carrot, 1 diced red bell pepper 1 can chicken stock and 2 extra Tablespoons cider vinegar.

Removed meat, blended remianing stock w/ immersion blender and reduced by half. Returned meat to coat.

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Sep. 20, 2009
These were the best chocolate chip cookies I've made yet! Simply amazing, and everything the recipe promises. Chewy, thick, and chock full of chocolate chips! To keep the cookies chewy, follow the recipe exactly. Don't skip the extra egg yolk and definitely melt the butter. Leave the cookies on the baking sheet until they're only slightly warm, then move to a wire rack. For some there may be too much chocolate chips in the dough but I thought it was perfect. The cookies were moist, chewy, had a wonderful vanilla flavor, and very chocolaty! The first time I made these I didn't beat the egg and sugar mixture until light and creamy as the recipe directed. The "dough" turned out to not be too much of a dough at all, more like a thick batter but it still turned out great. The next time I remembered to beat them until light and as a result I got the proper dough and the cookies came out thicker, aka "fatter". To make these cookies even chewier use melted shortening (I use palm shortening) instead.

Best Marinara Sauce Yet

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2009
This is a wonderful, easy, basic Marinara Sauce! It was flavorful and the choice of spices and herbs complimented the sauce nicely. It was easy and fairly quick. I used it for a pasta bake and it really made a difference. If you're looking for an easy and tasty pasta sauce, look no further.

Elegant Mushroom Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2009
This was just okay. I've made plenty of mushroom soups and this one just didn't impress me or my family either. The onion taste was a bit overwhelming and overall it just seemed bland; the strongest taste was really the onion. The soup was very easy to make, but the texture was "chunky", (the recipe doesn't say to blend it). The taste was a bit creamy, oniony with some mushroom taste but not a whole lot. It was just good, but not good enough for me to make again.

Spicy Hot Chicken Legs

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009
Although these drumsticks were nothing like "hot wings" I found this recipe to be just delicious. I used my favorite buffalo style hot sauce and halved the recipe since I didn't want to make so much of something I had never tried before. I did the legs in the crockpot for 2.5 hours then it only took about 20 minutes for them to get good and crispy in the 400 degree oven. I wonder if this recipe would work well for BBQ sauce as well? Served with rice and sauce. Yum yum.

Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken II

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2009
This recipe was 5 stars when I made some minor adjustments and followed the advice of other reviewers. I added rosemary to the oregano rub mix because thats what we were in the mood for today. I also added chicken broth to cover while cooking and placed some mixed veggies in the bottom of the slow cooker before I put the chicken in. Sensational.

Quick Biscuits

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2009
This is a great, quick and easy recipe! Everyone really liked them and I loved how simple it was to prepare. I had to use a bit more cream then called for in the recipe and made them as drop biscuits since the dough is quite sticky. It isn't as flavorful as regular baking powder biscuits but the next time I need a really QUICK quick bread I'll be using this recipe.

Soft Giant Pretzels

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2009
These were great! The pretzels were soft, fluffy, puffy, with a slightly crisp outer crust. I love the fact that they don't require any rising time and are so easy to make. I just threw all the ingredients into my standing mixer with a dough hook and let it run for until the dough was smooth - about 5 minutes. Will definitely make again!

Quick and Easy Alfredo Sauce

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2009
This was pretty good, but definitely not the real thing. You can taste the difference between this one and the authentic Alfredo sauce and I prefer the latter by far. This would make a great white sauce for pizza though, but I wouldn't call it Alfredo sauce.
