Aunt Bev's Famous Apple Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009

This is a really easy recipe. It is cooking right now, and smells wonderful. I am giving it to my mother, but I am definitely going to make another one for my family at home tomorrow. If I don't they will probably kill me.

Pigs in a Blanket

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009

Want to hear a funny story about these? I bought the small crescent rolls, and little smokies and sliced sharp cheddar cheese. I have never bought crescent rolls, so I couldn't figure out how to open the pkg at first. I though I was going to have to call the 800 number. Finally, I figured out that you have to unwrap the paper and then the thing pops. I felt like an idiot. But then, I wrapped 2 little smokies and a half of cheddar cheese slice up in the crescent rolls and baked for about 11 minutes. Yummmmmm.

The butter flavor really comes out in the pineapple caramels. The cranberry caramels are tart and sweet.

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds with Sugar and Spice

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2009

I normally like my seeds salty but these were the best! I didn't have pumpkin pie spice so I just used a little cinnamon, about 1/4 tsp. I will be making these from now on. Thx!

Best Butternut Squash Soup Ever

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2009

My family absolutely loved this soup, and so did I! Mostly, I did everything the same, though I did pre-steam my squash in the microwave first. Also, I added about 1 cup of heavy cream before pureeing, since I really love a creamy soup. Finally, I garnished the tops of each bowl with some cooked, crumbled bacon. Perfect!

I was concerned about how the raw egg would taste but after the pasta sat for a few minutes it was great! I added shrimp and used green onion in place of the other onions. My husband loved this dish... thanks!

Ham Cheddar Chowder

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2009

This is an awesome recipe. I added about a tsp of garlic powder and about a half tsp of garlic salt. After I added the ham and potatoes it cooked up really really thick, so I just added about cup or so more of milk so it was not too thick. It came out great. Yummmmmmm. Thanks. I am going to give some to my 2 year old grandson when he wakes up. Then we shall see.........LOL

Easy Garlic Broiled Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2009

This is a very good recipe. I think maybe it needs a little more kick like maybe brown sugar, or lemon juice, or honey or something else sweet. I will make this again, though. I have some left in the fridge and I will see what my daughter says about it.

Rice With Olives And Green Chile Peppers

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2009

Excellant with some cumin and a little chili pwd with the rotel and I use black and green olives. adds a little zap to it. I agree with add sour cream to rice prior to baking and use a little more to keep moist and top with colby longhorn cheese. almost spanish rice with tomatoe juice. I brown the rice as well before cooking. much more flavor and a little nut flavor adds to it.

Anniversary Chicken I

Reviewed: Feb. 22, 2009

I followed this recipe exactly except for the parsley, (my daughter said she would just take it off)LOL. I used the real bacon bits (you have to refrigerate these after opening.)I was going to take a pic but we ate it too fast. A neighbor was over and he said it was great. I have to make some more tonight because my daughter didn't get any. Oops. I made asparagas with it. Rice would also be good. I cooked it longer, I think it was about 50 minutes. Me and my well done taste buds. The green onion and bacon together with the cheese made the kitchen smell awesome when I was cooking this, I couldn't wait for it to be done. I will try to get a pic tonight to add, but I can't promise anything. I made this recipe again and I didn't have the bacon or the scallions, so I added parmeson cheese, garlic salt and seasoned salt. My daughter really liked this too.

I think I used too much flour and not enough cheese. My daughter liked it, she put more cheese in it. I will try it again and see if it was just me that messed it up. ( It probably is me) Lol.
