Cheese Ball I

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009
Great cheese ball recipe- it was a huge hit with my family. The only things that I did different was to replace the parmesan with monterey jack cheese (dad hates the stinky cheese) and add some minced red peppers for color and some added crunch. I also added some more of the spices until I was happy with the flavor and let it all sit in the fridge overnight, which I think made it all the better. Can't wait until Christmas to serve it again!

Too Much Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2009
SUPER cake recipe! Here are the things that I did different: I used a 3.9oz pkg of instant pudding as that is all I had; I added 1 tsp. of vanilla extract and I subbed the water out for Kahlua! I heated the slices up and served them with vanilla ice cream and fudge sauce- YUUUMMMMYYYY!! Once it was all heated up and served that way, it tasted a lot like the Molten Chocolate Cake that Chilis serves. I'm thinking of adding peppermint extract and peppermint schnapps for a holiday version-we'll see how that turns out!

Apple Crisp II

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2009
I've made this twice now and it's been GREAT both times! Plan to make again in the next day or two. Delicious, homey recipe. Be sure and use a mix of BAKING apple varieties. Not all apples are suited for baking. I read some of the negative reviews and can't figure out where they went wrong. For those complaining that the topping is too dry, be sure that you've melted the butter and mixed it thoroughly with the other topping ingredients. Kudos, Diane, on a recipe going in my permanent file!

Slow Cooker Tamale Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2009
I am going to rate this low even though I did make a couple changes that I don't think impacted the outcome negatively. I did saute some onion and one clove of garlic with the meat and also added a touch of cumin and a cup of frozen corn. With that said, I really think this needed more flavor and more heat. Maybe some diced jalapenos. I used jiffy cornbread mix since it was the only one I could find of that size and thought it was way to sweet for our liking.

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2009
Loved this cookie recipe! I really think that having an egg yolk instead of a whole egg is the trick to this recipe, as egg whites tend to dry dough out. My cookies turned out great, except that they became less chewy as the hours went on and the next day they were crispy. I think that I just need to store them in a better container next time, as my Tupperware container didn't keep them chewy enough.

Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2009
I used a 2 1/2 lb flank steak so I doubled the sauce, which was probably not necessary since there was so much in the end. I only added half the brown sugar called for and it was still very sweet. I also added a couple of tablespoons of asian chili sauce to give it some heat and saved the green onions until it was almost done. I thought it was excellent! Served with white rice and green beans.

Cilantro-Lime Dressing

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2009
we LOVED this dressing. I served it as a side with carne asada tacos. I made it as written, but probably added a bit more cilantro. We served over romaine lettuce with queso fresco crumbles and homemade fried tortilla strips. It may look like dark green pea soup, but it was excellent!

Roast Beef Horseradish Roll-Ups

I have made these numerous times for parties. I square my tortillas and wrap tightly, refrigerate for at least an hour before cutting into 1 inch slices. Even people who claim to not like the horseradish loved them

These is a very good dish, the filling needs a little seasoning and the white sauce is excellent, I have used that same sauce over other italian dishes.

Brownie Batter + Cupcake = The SECOND BEST Cupcake. Ever

Reviewed: Aug. 12, 2009
I have made these twice and absolutely love them. I put the brownie mix in my piping bag with a large tip, than filled the cupcake paper up half way with the cake batter. Inserted the tip of my piping bag into each cupcake and squished me out some brownie mix into the middle of each one. Frosted with store bought chocolate frosting, YUM!

Banh Mi

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2009
We LOVE Banh Mi at our house, and I've been experimenting as well. I like the marinade for the veggies in this recipe, although I think the mayo needs to be infused with something to make it more authentic (at least, they do at our VN Baguette shop...) I tried adding garlic powder and a little Chinese 5 spice just to see. We loved it. Next we're gonna try the Asian BBQ Pork from Costco as a sandwich filler.

Insanely Amazing Jalapeno Cheese Dip

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2009
I made this recipe early in the day to take to a get together. I ran out of time and didn't get to pick up the bread bowl so I microwaved the ingredients at my destination and served hot in my mini fondou pot along side of sliced sourdough baquettes. Everyone thought it was excellent, I even got some "I like this better than that other one your bring" comments.

Kay's Spaghetti and Lasagna Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2009
I was expecting more from this recipe and was disappointed that I didn't get it :( I ended up having to add a lot of red pepper flakes, more italian seasoning and some red wine to balance the flavors out.
