Black Bean and Artichoke Burritos

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2009
I didn't drain all the liquid off the beans because I realized they couldn't boil w/o it, so I left some liquid and they became the right consistency quickly. Sauteeing the artichoke hearts until browned and slightly crispy was what made this over the top for me...absolutely delicious. I also used some good salsa in place of the tomatoes...yum yum. Will make these often. Thanks!

Easy Roasted Pork

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2009
Instead of all the ginger called for I used 1/2 ground ginger and 1/2 ground mustard, didn't have applesauce so peeled, cored and diced 2 apples and 1 pear and threw everything (including cinnamon and extra brown sugar) into the crock pot with 1 1/2 cups of water on low for 8 hours. YUM!!!

Szechwan Shrimp

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2009
This is a really great recipe, however beware the amount of crushed red pepper you use...I used the whole 1/2 tsp and it was so spicy my husband couldn't eat it. I love spicy though so I loved it, so next time I'll only use a tiny bit, pull out half of the shrimp for him and then add more to my half. I always use Mochiko (sweet rice flour found in the Asian section of any good grocery store) in place of cornstarch in Asian recipes as it thickens wonderfully without leaving a chalky taste or weird consistency. This is an easy, delicious, and healthy dish, you should try it!

Orzo Delicioso

Reviewed: Jan. 9, 2009
Very good and good to look at too. Have been trying out different orzo recipes since discovering this little pasta. If it is too bland for some, they could add more jalapeno, but I like being able to taste the different ingredients, it's a fresh appealling summer salad. Goes great with grilled steak or chicken or fish.

Crepes

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2009
Excellent recipe - I added 1/2 teaspoon almond extract and filled with (thawed) frozen strawberries and topped with whipped cream. Easy, inexpensive and every bit as tasty as a local breakfast chain restaurant.

Ricotta Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2009
I love this cake. I crave it. After reading the reviews stating that the ricotta layer falls to the bottom of the cake, I decided to plan for it by using a bundt pan instead of a 9" x 13" pan and made half the ricotta mixture (and added almond extract to the cake mix as well as 1/2 vanilla and 1/2 almond extract to the ricotta mixture), spooning it all over the top of the cake mixture. Baked as directed in the recipe, inverted onto a plate after it had cooled a bit and then sifted powdered sugar over the top after it had cooled completely. It makes a gorgeous cake, 1/2 moist yellow cake on bottom and 1/2 delicious ricotta layer on top. Yum!

Roasted Pears with Caramel Sauce

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2009
I used a plain Greek yogurt as it is much thicker than regular yogurt in place of the sour cream. Very, very good.

Blushing Cranberry Pears

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2009
I serve these as a light refreshing dessert after a heavier meal. Always a hit, and so easy. I have cooked them in a small crockpot for a few hours also. Just make sure it's only a few hours and not overcook.

Swiss Chicken Casserole II

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2008
This was a very easy recipe with tasty results...the only things I did differently was 1) season the chicken with pepper, onion powder, seasoned salt and garlic salt before adding the cheese slices; 2) I had a feeling the stuffing would dry out on top of the soup mix while baking so used 1 1/2 cans of cream of chicken soup (doubling the milk), mixed in the stuffing mix and poured the whole thing over the chicken before drizzling the melted butter. My husband and I really liked this and the leftovers are yummy too. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Baked Omelet Roll

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2008
This is great! Whether one thinks it is "baked eggs" or wants to call it an omelet...it is still an easy breakfast meal....adding different things like bacon, sausage, ham, etc. just makes it better. Thanks!

Italian Spaghetti Sauce with Meatballs

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2008
I have a suggestion: with regards to the dried parsley....I always use about 1/4 bunch of large sprigs of parsley(stems and all) of fresh parsley...this is a tip I got from my mother in law who got it from a lovely Italian neighbor of hers years ago. Not sure of the exact difference, but her sauce recipe is to die for. Simmer the parsley in the sauce until ready to serve, then scoop the pieces out of the sauce. They claim it is essential to the sauce!!! Dry parsley has no taste in their (and mine) opinions!

Amish Breakfast Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2008
I made two of these for my annual Christmas brunch this year. For both, I first sauteed a chopped green and a chopped red pepper with the onion for color and flavor. For one casserole I used 1/2 pound each bacon (which I fried by itself and then cooled and crumbled) and breakfast sausage which I browned first. For the other casserole I did a veggie version using a ton of sliced mushrooms sauteed in butter and a large shredded zucchini. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly, using a really fantastic Jarlsberg swiss since my husband and I love swiss cheese so much (oh and since I made two I cooked for them at the same time for one hour). Both versions were excellent and made a fantastic offering to veggie and meat eaters alike. I served along side brie en croute, fresh cut fruit, bacon, orange juice, coffee, an assortment of Christmas cookies and my handmade truffles. Every year I try something different but I think I'll include one version of this casserole from now on. I think they'd be great baked up in well-greased muffin tins for individual servings as well!

Impossibly Easy French Apple Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2008
Almost all of the "impossibley easy" bisquick recipes are hard to beat. Quick, tasty and good. When you are pressed for time, these are great. I always mix up the liquid ingredients in the blender, or use your hand blender.

Impossibly Easy Taco Pie

I love the "impossible" recipes from Bisquick! I usually put the bisquick, eggs and milk in the blender, then pour it over the filling. Very quick, tasty and easy recipe for sure.

Sweet Potato Casserole II

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2008
I myself truly loved this recipe for thanksgiving this year. My oldest son loved it. Not sure about other members of the family. I have one son who is Autistic and is very picky regarding food and texture. I found myself eating it as a dessert it one point. I did find though that the marshmallows on top were a bit chewy if not warmed up again.

Campbell's Kitchen Easy Chicken Pot Pie

This has been a hit every time I make it! No substitutes are necessary unless you want to make it low fat. Otherwise use the low fat Bisquick mix and low sodium soup.

Easy Cream Cheese Danish

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2008
I liked the idea of a quick and easy danish recipe but the end result was nothing like a flaky, delicious, baked good I was craving. Next time I'll start from scratch to hopefully get a better result.

Classic Macaroni and Cheese

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2008
This is very much like my childhood mac and cheese also. Only thing my mom did differently was to beat an egg in with the milk and we shredded the cheese. Very basic mac and cheese, let the top cheese layer (we add extra) bake to a golden crust.....yum.
