Watergate Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2009
Like others, I used an entire 20oz of crushed pineapple, but I reserved a 1/2 a cup of pineapple juice first, then just dumped the rest in. I didn't use walnuts---pecans instead. And I used the whole 8oz of whipped cream. Yum!

Pork and Pepper Stir Fry

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2009
I used this recipe mainly for the marinade and reminding me to use chile paste. The meat was very tender but I did keep it in the marinade overnight and the next full day. I added lots of veggies and it was great!

Teriyaki Marinated Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2009
This was alright. The marinade was extremely tasty but I guess it didn't soak that well with the chicken because the chicken wasn't that flavorful as the marinade. I might try and leave in a lot longer than one day next time.

Apple Crisp III

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
I used 5 large apples, increased the recipe for the topping by half, used 50/50 of brown and white sugar, added about a teaspoon of vanilla to the water mixture, and finally added about a 2 handfuls of golden raisins to the apples. I baked it in a 9x13 pan and cooked for about 52 minutes. Turned off the oven and left it in there until the oven cooled. Came out pretty good :)

Savory Italian Sausage Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2009
Even with some necessary empty pantry creative ingredient substitutions; this sauce was amazing! I doubled the batch but used only 1 1b of sausage. I also used sweet yellow onions in lieu of green onions, only one can of stewed tomatoes, 3 cans of paste, 1 of sauce, 1 tbsp of red wine vinegar with remaining water to replace 1/2 cup of red wine. I also didn't add all the sugar, I may try it with all of it next time just to see what changes but it seems like quit a bit. Maybe me substituting the paste vs sauce and stewed adjusts the sweetness of the sauce. It was excellent. We really enjoyed it!!

Pan de Muertos (Mexican Bread of the Dead)

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009
I'm not sure if I did something wrong. I followed the recipe exactly, but the bread was very dry and not enjoyable. Smelled great while cooking and the blend of tastes was interesting, just to dry for my family. Everyone tried it then left it alone. :o(

Pizza Dough III

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2009
I altered the recipe slightly. After combining the yeast and warm water, I let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. Then I added THREE cups of bread flour (you might think its a lot but it works wonders---its less sticky!), 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil, and 1/2 teaspoon of parsley flakes. I let the dough rise for about 30 minutes, punched it down, and let the dough rise again for another 30 minutes. I also set the oven to 400* to get that crispy crust. Wonderful recipe :) Thanks again!

Portuguese Sweet Bread I

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2009
I yielded this recipe to 12 servings. This called for about 2 1/1 teaspoons of yeast which is equivalent to one packet of yeast (1/4 oz)...I used the Fleischmann's (the yellow packet kind). The recipe said this was going to be sticky but it was overly sticky in my opinion...so I added another cup of bread flour. To make the bread a little more rich and sweeter, I read the previous reviews and added another yolk and increased the sugar by doubling the amount (it called for 1/3 so I added 2/3 of sugar). I didn't make this bread in a bread machine. Instead, I let the dough rise for two hours. Punched it down. Let the dough rise for another hour. Baked it in the oven for 40-45 minutes at 375*. Turned out crispy on the outside and a little doughy in the middle...perfect :) Thanks again!

Creamy Rice Pudding

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2009
Yielded to 8 servings. Used skim milk because that's what I had in hand. Didn't stir in sugar until it was at the right consistency. Used 1/2 cup of white sugar instead of the 1/3 it called for. Then added an additional 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Tempered the egg mixture with the warm mixture so it would blend easier. Used half amount of raisins. Added 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder. Let it simmer for a little bit longer to have a thicker consistency. This tasted better than the store-bought rice pudding I always get! Thanks!

Easy OREO Truffles

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2009
Easy and delicious. Scooped out the cream cheese/cookie mix into little balls and froze them on a cookie sheet. After they had hardened, I melted the bark, dropped one ball in at a time, and used a fork to scoop the balls out. Laid it back on the cookie sheet, sprinkled the crushed oreos on top and placed it back in the fridge. Had to work fairly quickly but it turned out awesome :)

Raspberry Margaritas

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2009
I read the reviews and a few cut back on the tequila...so instead of cutting back on the tequila (which I love), I substituted orange juice for the orange liquor. Used granulated sugar instead and added an additional 2 tbsp of sugar---DELICIOUS!

Couldn't find jicama so I substituted for 1/2 a cup of fresh diced jalepeno peppers. Used regular flour tortilla b/c that's what I prefer. Pretty good!

Lance's French Onion Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2009
I used 3 1/2 onions, sauteed it in olive oil until it was close to transparent, then added the sugar. Added the wine (chardonnay) and when it was thoroughly clear, used a 32oz box of beef broth (that scaled it down to about 4 servings rather than 6). Then added salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne for some kick to it. I also toasted the bread before I put it into the soup and used deli sliced (reduced fat) provolone cheese as the topper. Garnished with sliced green onions on top of the cheese. Popped it in the microwave and voila! Looks wonderful and tastes SOOOO GOOODDD!!!! Thanks again!

Herbed Potato Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009
This soup is great! Thank you for the recipe Jo. I added garlic and celery (family tradition) and grated cheddar cheese. I also boiled the potatoes in 1 cup water and 1 cup chicken broth. The taste is so delightful and it is so quick to make. Wonderful recipe!
