Quick And Easy Mexican Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 24, 2009
This is really GOOD! I put 1/2 cup of Salsa Verde in a crock pot and place the chicken over it. Then I cover with the rest of the salsa and top with Velveeta PepperJack slices. Cook on low for 8 hours and shred and serve with mexican rice. Great for a dinner plate or shredded in burritos too. (I like it because it's low carb) Yum!

Chicken Paprikash

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2009
My family had never had dumplings prior to this recipe. We all loved the flavor of the chicken and the gravy. Next time I am going to serve it over rice and it will be a sure winner in my house!

Bellini Meanie Martini

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2009
We enjoyed these "Belletinis" last night for New Years Eve. I served them using martini glasses. Both the ladies and gentlemen enjoyed, but it's definitely more of a "girly" drink. Will try the raspberries next time...cute idea.

Frogmore Stew

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2009
Who needs the Crab Pot restaurant when you can make it at home so easily? We enjoyed this as a New Year's Eve dinner with tremendous results. Added fresh caught Lobster legs & tails to the mix. Serve with crusty french bread, cold beer and lots of napkins. EXCELLENT!

Breakfast Casserole II

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2008
Fantastic! Just made this for Christmas Day. Used thawed tater tots and layered with sauteed shrooms, onions and peppers as per other reviewers suggestions. Made it with Better Than Eggs and added a bunch of green sauce and Emerils Essence to the eggs and soup mix. Covered it with tin foil and baked for 50 minutes, then 25 minutes more uncovered to solidify the center. Use lots of a zippy cheese for extra pizzaz. Serve with green taco sauce on top and fruit on the side. Very filling and delicioso! Since it's so versatile and can be made in advance I plan to use this recipe for holidays, work potlucks and for visiting company.

Spanakopita (Greek Spinach Pie)

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008
I have made baklava for the past couple years at Christmas and I always have left over phyllo. This year I decided to try a new recipe to use it up. I had to altar the recipe quite a bit because I didn't have the exact ingredients but it still turned out incredible! I used red onion instead of green, cilantro instead of parsley, cream cheese (about 3 oz) instead of ricotta, parmesan and a deli swiss cheese mix from my locally owned grocery instead of feta. I added extra garlic, salt and pepper and sauteed the veggies in butter instead of olive oil. I did use olive oil to brush the phyllo. I also used extra phyllo on the top. This was just so delicious. Do not be afraid to try it! It was easy too!

Brownie Biscotti

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2008
This was my first attempt at Biscotti and I am happy to say it turned out great! I baked the biscotti on a baking stone then let it cool before cutting for the second bake. I drizzled dark chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate on them. I dipped some of them in white chocolate at one end. Great recipe!

Easy Decadent Truffles

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2008
These truffles were easy but not so decadent. They were good but they just tasted like thick chocolate frosting or at the very best, fudge. I will try a different recipe for truffles next time.

Grandpa's Popcorn Balls

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2008
This is a great recipe. My father and I use an air popper, and pop plain popcorn kernels. We use our sink to pop all of the pop corn into, and then we pour the sugar over it while it's in the sink. It's important butter (or spray Pam) onto any surface you're going to be making the popcorn balls in. I like to have a bowl of ice water handy to dip my hands into while I'm making the popcorn balls so that the sugar doesn't burn me too badly. But when you're working with hot sugar, it's pretty much inevitable. And just for reference, don't quadruple the recipe. We tried that, and we had to use our very biggest pot, and it took FOREVER to get it to 300 degrees. And also make sure all the popcorn gets coated in the sugar, or pieces will be falling of everywhere. I love this recipe! It tastes great!

Slow Cooker Stuffing

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2008
My first stuffing! The broth amount and bread consistency are key to the success of this recipe. We went to a local Oregon bakery and picked up loaves of just baked artisan and multi-grain breads and sliced into cubes then baked at 250 for 25 minutes (checking frequently). The hearty, chewy texture of the bread was very successful with this recipe as it did not become soggy during the cooking process. We added 2.5 cups of stock (just enough to moisten) and a pound of crumbled, cooked sage sausage. I did stir it after the first hour in the pot and then occasionally during the cooking time. This was necessary as the stuffing becomes very brown on the bottom. I agree that the high setting may not be needed since all the crock pot process is doing is re-incorporating the bread with the stock and other flavors. Many of the 17 folks at our dinner were interested in how this recipe would turn out and we were all pleased with the results.

Pumpkin Bars I

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2008
Delicious! I used 10X13 stoneware bar pan, left the walnuts out of the cake, and used the Cream Cheese Frosting II recipe from this website. Then I added toasted pecans on top of 1/2 the pan for us nut lovers. This is more like a sheet cake than traditional cookie bars but it is absolutely divine! Everyone in my house LOVED them!

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2008
Great recipe and very versatile. I only had green enchilada sauce and rotel tomatoes so that is what I used. I also did not cook the chicken ahead of time but let it cook in the crockpot. I then removed it, shredded it and then returned it to the pot. I added the corn and a can of pinto beans during the last hour of cooking. VERY YUMMY and the perfect soup for those cold fall/winter days!

Taco Seasoning I

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2008
Really great! Like others I substituted cayenne pepper for the red pepper flakes. I love my taco's to have fresh onions so I used those instead of the powder. It's much more economical to make your own spice mixes so I will add jars of this to my refill jars of Emeril's Essence and Emeril's Southwestern Blend.

Arroz con Pollo II

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2008
I used thighs and added mushrooms. Did not use saffron or the juice from the peas. Also, one cup of beer was not enough to cook the rice so I added 1 can of chicken broth and this dish turned out fantastic. I served with plantains (yummy)

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2008
oh so good, I left in the slow cooker for 9hrs on low and it turned out great. I shredded the chicken and I added another package of taco seasoning (it was a little bland) before serving remember to top with cheese and sour cream......this makes a great week day meal.
