Asian Orange Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009
This recipe is too time consuming. I gave this a 4 because there is no need to marinate, coat, add corn starch to the sauce, etc. just reduce the amount of water you use and cook the chicken in the sauce in a large saucepan in med high heat for 15-20 min the sauce will reduce to the perfect glaze and it doesn't require all kinds of prep.

Quick and Easy Pancit

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2009
Very easy and yummy. Made recipe exactly except I added bean sprouts, and 2 tblsp patis (fish sauce) and used 8oz pkg noodles. I also used Silver Swan filipino soy sauce as another person recomended. I added a little water if it got too dry while cooking. Before I added the softened noodles, I pushed all the veggies to the sides of the pan, letting all the juices in the middle. This allowed me to immerse the noodles in the sauce to better coat the noodles. Will definately make again!

Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2009
These tasted great, but I had problems with the baking time. I ended up having to throw out about half of the batch because they were wayyy too soft and undercooked :( It was a bit frustrating, but once I found the right time (15 minutes), they came out perfect and held their shape. I took others' suggestions and used 2T of vanilla and 2 tsp salt. I also only used about 3 cups of chocolate chips, because 4 seemed like overkill. I'll be using this recipe again; thanks!

Cabbage Rolls II

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2009
Enjoyed this recipe. Thought it would be harder to make than it was since it was my first time. I read other reviews which really helped me. I added a half lb of italian sausage to the ground beef & also doubled the sauce recipe. Didn't cook it in the slow cooker...put them in a baking dish, covered them with the extra cabbage leaves & they turned out perfectly. I will add this to my recipe collection!

Amy's Barbecue Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2009
One of the best salads ever! The whole family loved it. I followed the recipe exactly. I'm sure you could make changes to suit your own taste but I thought it was perfect. Definitely a recipe that we will use again! Shared it with my sister & her family agreed that it's a HIT!!

Zesty Slow Cooker Chicken Barbecue

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2009
Simple & sooo delicious! I actually did use a cheaper BBQ sauce that I had on hand & it worked fine. My younger kids liked it on buttered, browned rolls & the older kids liked it with the baked potato. The chicken I used wasn't fully thawed & I think that made the end result a little watery but the chicken was so tender & flavorful that it didn't seem to bother anyone. We will definitely be making this one of our favs!

Steff's Shepherd Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2009
My whole family liked this recipe. In order for the kids to get more veggies I added another can of green beans & another cup of mashed potatoes. Definitely thought adding salt & pepper to the ground beef gave it a little more taste. Next time I may try adding tomato soup instead of mushroom just for a change. Yummy as leftovers too.

Banana Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2009
For all you recipe-purists out there, don't hate me.. but I made about a million changes to this recipe. Used AP flour (that's all I had), 2 tsp cinnamon, 1/3 cup ground flaxseed, 1/3 cup rolled oats, 4 medium bananas, 3/4 cup soymilk, 3T applesauce, 2 whole eggs + 1 egg white, and 2 cups fresh blueberries. I also added a not-so-healthy streusel to the tops of the muffins consisting of 1/2 c flour, 1/2 c brown sugar, 4T butter, 1/4 c granola, 1/4 c rolled oats. Baked at 335 for 16 minutes. The result was a moist, slightly sweet muffin with a sinfully delightful crunch topping. YUMMMMM. The only problem is that the muffin sticks to the paper liner and you lose a lot of it when eating it. I don't know how to avoid that. I'll probably use this recipe a lot for a fairly simple and healthy way to use leftover bananas- plus you can sub the blueberries for a variety other fruits.

Jay's Signature Pizza Crust

Reviewed: Aug. 5, 2009
This was my first attempt at homemade pizza crust and it was SO easy and delicious!! I added Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan cheese to the flour for more flavor. I used the dough hook attachment for my KitchenAid mixer to kneed the dough-- so quick and easy! *Be careful about the temperature of the water when mixing with the yeast- I accidentally killed my yeast once because the water was too hot and it was so frustrating!*

Creamy Chocolate Frosting

Reviewed: Aug. 2, 2009
Delish. Used Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa Powder. I doubled the dry ingredients & butter and alternated adding 1/3 cup of the cocoa/sugar mixture and 1T of the evaporated milk at a time to my mixer. I lost count of how many tablespoons of evaporated milk I used-- I just kept going until it was the consistency I wanted. I also added 1 tsp of salt-- I think this was key to the slightly bittersweet taste of the frosting which was great. This frosting was perfect for piping; doubling the recipe, I was able to frost 47 cupcakes and still have more leftover. My new favorite chocolate frosting recipe!

Self-Filled Cupcakes I

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2009
I've been making these for quite some time now. This is the perfect go-to recipe when you don't have a lot of time to bake from scratch, but want something that feels homemade. Everyone who eats these completely dies over them (for real! EVERY single person!) The cream cheese filling really gives it a special touch and you know how much people like cream cheese.. can't go wrong! Like other users, I use mini chocolate chips and top with either a chocolate frosting or cream cheese frosting. Thanks!

Zeppole

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2009
The taste was just okay. I loaded as much powdered sugar as I could because I didnt think they had much taste. Very easy to make though. I added extra sugar to the recipe as some other reviewers suggested and I also added a bit more vanilla. I thought I would taste more of the cheese but I didn't. Sorry I won't be making these again.

Strawberry Cake and Frosting I

Reviewed: Jun. 26, 2009
I've made a lot of different cupcakes, but I truly think that these are the best ones I've ever made. The light, moist strawberry cake combined with the sweet, creamy strawberry frosting is AMAZING. I am seriously addicted to these. A few notes: I used a 13 oz bag of frozen strawberries (thawed and drained) since that was all I could find, and I think it worked perfectly... you can never have too many strawberries! Also, I took others' advice and used an entire 2 lb bag of powdered sugar for the frosting. I had a lot left over, but the taste and consistency were great. I was able to make 43 cupcakes with this recipe. They baked at 350 for 23 minutes. Thanks for an outstanding recipe!

All American Apple Pie

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2009
Yum yum yum! I've made this twice and both times were delicious. I use a store-bought pie crust, only 4 apples (this was definitely enough... 6 apples were WAY too many), used all BROWN sugar for the topping (personal preference), and added cinnamon (1/2 T), rolled oats (1/4 c) and granola (1/4 c) to the crumb topping. Baked at 350 for 1 hour. Wonderful!

Great recipe! I will be making this again. It was easy and it tasted way better than I was expecting. It comfortably fed my family of 5, who are big eaters.

Cream Cheese Frosting II

Reviewed: May 15, 2009
Yum! I had to frost a lot of cupcakes so I used more powdered sugar (4 cups total) than the recipe called for. I also added another 1/4 cup butter, and used 2 tsp vanilla. This was more than enough to frost ~56 cupcakes, and was very easy to pipe with.

Rick's Special Buttercream Frosting

Reviewed: May 10, 2009
I followed the advice of other reviewers and used butter/crisco, 4.5 oz cream, 2 tsp vanilla, and 6 cups of powdered sugar. I beat the butter/crisco for ~10 mins, and the sugar mixture another 10 mins. It came out beautifully-- so fluffy and light and pretty! The only thing is, for some reason it was kind of flimsy (even after cooling in the fridge for a while), so when I tried piping roses, they kept falling over. I eventually got them to work, but it was a bit frustrating. Not sure if I added too much cream or if it was too warm in my kitchen. However, for the rest of the cake, the frosting was great and easy to work with. A *little* too sweet for my own taste, but my company liked it. Thanks!

Lemon Pepper Zucchini

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2009
YUM! I am not a zucchini person and neither is my bf, but we scarfed these down so fast! I did not have lemon pepper on hand, so I mixed 1T melted butter and 1/2T fresh squeezed lemon juice into a bowl and dipped the sliced zucchini into the mixture. I then sprinkled garlic salt + cayenne pepper + grated parmesan cheese on the tops of the coated zucchini. I baked at 375 for 15 minutes and they came out PERFECTLY. Absolutely delicious and simple to make. Thanks!
