Oatmeal Dinner Rolls

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009
I made these for Thanksgiving and they were fabulous. Two of my friends tried to hide them from everyone else but all 18 disappeared immediately. Made exactly per the recipe and wouldn't change anything. I am going to try to make it into a loaf of bread as we loved the flavor so much.

Hot Artichoke Spinach Dip

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009
I made this recipe out of necessity. I forgot I had to bring the dip for Thanksgiving and it was too late to run to Costco, so I found the recipe on my iphone and gathered the ingredients at the store. I've made a dip like this before and it turned out "alright" but not MMMmmmm!!! The only thing I forgot to do was put in the garlic... after it was done! I know DO NOT forget the garlic! I had some roasted garlic heads in the fridge and quickly smooshed them up and I put in probably 1 1/2 HEADS of roasted garlic... I know that's a lot but it was incredible and we all love garlic. So I mixed up the melted mozzarella on top and mixed it back into the dip, incorporating the garlic and then sprinkled more mozzarella again.... cooked for another 20 minutes, took it out and hoped for the best. The dip at Costco is one of our favorites!! My sister tasted this and she thought it tasted just like it, if not better. This was great... she wouldn't embellish her compliment. lol I thought it was fantastic!! I don't know if cooking it twice made any difference, but oh it was delish. It was almost all gone by Turkey time and no one was hungry. Went great with crackers. I think the grainier the cracker the better. :-) Will keep this one forever!!

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2009
The butter is the key! Well salt is also necessary but in the past i've just toasted them with salt after cleaning them in water, but adding butter is SO much better! I can't wait to make these again!!!! They were incredible and they didn't last long unfortunately! :-)

French Onion Soup Gratinee

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2009
Excellent. I loved it. I had to make a couple changes b/c of ingredients on hand, but it still turned out delicious. I used half chicken stock and half beef stock - 32oz of each. Thought I had Balsamic Vinegar but couldn't find it so had to use apple Cider Vinegar. I will try it according to recipe next time but this tasted great too. Just so good! I also used croutons b/c I didn't want to go out to store for bread and it worked in a pinch, I know it's not the same but it was good. You can also make your own croutons by cubing bread, tossing with butter and toasting. I'm going to have to go out and buy some oven-safe bowls now! I put it in bowls and put it under my toaster broiler, which worked great. Just use oven-safe bowls for this obviously. lol

Outrageous Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009
Delicious! I thought there might be too many chocolate chips, but it wasn't. I doubled this recipe and had to hide some of them to keep the kids and dh from eating them all the first day! They can be put in a ziplock bag and then I stored them in a tupperware container for a couple weeks and they were still fresh as can be. This combo is really good and the peanut butter isn't overly peanutty. Thanks for this recipe!

Potato Leek Soup III

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2009
This was really great! Kids didn't like it but that doesn't mean anything! :-) We doubled the recipe since I had four big leeks and then only used 1 1/2 c butter, but we added a pound of crispy bacon pcs. It was great. We also pureed most of the broth and leeks because I wanted to hide the veggies from the kids. Left potatoes in chunks though. Used half and half instead of cream. Really really good!!! What a perfect recipe for a cool day!!

Sandy's Casserole

Reviewed: Sep. 28, 2009
I was having family for dinner last night and was looking for something easy that I could make up ahead of time. Well this was wonderful. I made it half again, so used 1 can cream of chicken and 2 cream of mushroom. Used a rotisserie chicken, boiled the macaroni for 5 mins, used 2 soup cans milk and 1 cup sour cream and chopped up 1 cup of fresh mushrooms I had in the fridge. Baked covered for 35 mins, stirred, put back in the oven for another 15 mins (think this was due to the size of the casserole), topped with a large can of french fried onion rings and baked another 15 mins. Everyone loved, loved, loved it. I can see adding peas or diced, cooked broccoli to this, but it is brilliant as is. Thanks for a really good recipe Sandy.

Chicken with Garlic, Basil, and Parsley

Reviewed: Sep. 14, 2009
Made this for hubby last night as I had some chicken thighs in the freezer. Used fresh herbs from the garden. Browned the thighs in a little EVOO first. Instead of red pepper flakes added some creole seasoning to the parsley/basil mix, then poured the juices from the browning pan over all. Used beautiful fresh tomatoes from my garden and baked covered accordingly. When I removed the cover added some provolone cheese for the last 15 minutes. Chicken was moist and hubby loved it. Will add to my favorites and will play around with cheese in the future. Really nice, easy weeknight recipe. Thanks Kitty.

This was certainly easy and quick, no complaints there. I do prefer the graham cracker crust on my key lime. But overall, a tasty pie.

Rarely do you find a 5 star recipe on here, when I saw one, I had to try it! The flavor was great, but I couldnt get past the flat pancake appearence. I was apologizing for them while serving. And I chilled/rested the dough for 6 hours prior to baking. I wont be making them again.

A super simple way to make this yummy dish. I also changed things a bit. Had to double, plus I added garlic, salt, pepper and beef broth instead of water. Will make again many times!
