Allie's Delicious Macaroni and Cheese

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2009
I wish I had all the ingredients to make this recipe as given even so - this recipe came out as a 5 star without the ham, pepper or paprika! I loved it! Thanks for the recipe it is a keeper and I promise to have all the ingredients next time I make it.

Herald's Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2009
great! NOTE TO NON-AMERICAN-EATERS: this does NOT taste like some can-inspired casserole. as long as you spice it up! i added sliced hot peppers (cooked with the beef), reduced the beef, added some olive oil, added some finely chopped garlic, added canned peas, added asparagus (turned out too thready/hard to cut), added salt, added red pepper spice, added a small package of crushed red pepper (would not do this in the future). i also wish that the crust was on the bottom as well as top... next time i'll consider pouring some on the bottom first, or maybe just mixing it with the meat sauce... next time i'll also try to make it more healthy using mozerella cheese instead of cheddar slices.

Jo-Ann's Power Bars

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2009
Will try this one again... I left in the oven for 7 extra minutes because the top was still soft at the time they were supposed to be ready-- and I took a little taste and it tasted raw. But 7 minutes was too long-- they were no longer chewy enough.

Chocolate Cream Pie II

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2009
Excellent - just like Granny used to make. A great chocolate flavor and very creamy texture. They were fighting over the last piece! Creaming the eggs and sugar was a great solution - instead of the old way of cooking the cream then adding to yolks slowly then adding yolks back into pan to cook! Good option that won't cook the eggs too fast. I used the Philsbury ready rolled crust and nobody knew the difference! I whipped the cream but Cool Whip would probably work as well.

Curried Carrot Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2009
Excellent low calorie soup. I add a tablespoon of low fat Sour Cream to each bowl adding 16 calories but it really improves the taste and texture of the soup. I also used this recipe reducing the liquid while cooking to be the curry gravy for curried baked chicken - it was great and very low calorie while increasing the fiber and vegetable content without using cream!

Special Irish Beef Stew

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2008
Sweet. This looks like what my mom makes. Serve in bowls with a pepper grinder and tons of bread. Drop dumplings go great with this, about half a dozen or so.

Good. The trick is often to make the sauce yourself or start with your homemade spaghetti sauce.

Tomato Basil Salad

The quality of the ingredients makes a BIG difference. We're lucky to live in the warm Californian area that was formerly prime farmland.

Chocolate Cream Pie I

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2008
Better than my grandmothers, in a different way. It's very runny, I'd cut the liquid a little or possibly add a thickener like flour or corn starch.

Kashmiri-Style Kidney Beans with Turnips

When I was a kid, I used to pick kidney beans out of my mom's otherwise outstanding chili. This is not a kidney bean dish, it's fabulous.

Sukhothai Pad Thai

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2008
1. Presoak rice stick noodles for about 30 minutes in cold water. 2. Skip daikon, it's hard to find and adds almost no flavor. 3. Reduce sugar used to be more authentic and also more palatable. 4. Use raw sugar. 5. Use a mini food processor to chop the nuts. 6. Substitute chicken for soy.

Hummus III

1. Save about 2/3 of a can of juice. 2. Boil garbanzo beans for 10 min on low to get a smooth finish, otherwise it turns out grainy.

Chris' Bay Area Burger

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2008
Strange, off taste. A bit dry. Not sophisticated. Changes: * Added additional fresh basil * Reduced salt as suggested in various reviews, but that was a mistake-- too bland. * Added chopped onions. Suggestions: * Maybe try cayenne pepper.... * Salt as directed, don't bother with onions.

I love this recipe! Instead of using water, I use coconut milk to give it a real rich (not too sweet) taste.

Easy Decadent Truffles

Reviewed: May 28, 2008
fantastic and wonderfully easy to make, these are perfect as desserts or gifts. I highly suggest using raspberry extract (or other raspberry flavoring) in place of vanilla, it adds wonderful uniqueness to the recipe!
