Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009

Don't use store-bought tortilla chips! It really is very easy to just bake corn tortillas as in the recipe and the taste difference is incredible. I used baked tortillas for dinner, then for lunch the next day I was in a hurry and packed tortilla chips. Big difference. Don't be lazy if you have time! Also, this recipe was a little spicy for me, but I'm sensitive. So if you're sensitive, you may want to make it a bit less spicy. I could still handle it though; it was so good I couldn't stop slurping it down!!

Basic Fondue

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009

I can't imagine eating this with milk. Yuk. I used the same amount of beer, which came out to about one and a half bottles of beer. I just used some cheap Michelob Ultra (leftover from our wedding lol), and it tasted perfect. Huge hit at work. Also, I didn't use a saucepan. I just did everything in the fondue pot. No need for that extra step.

Chocolate Thumbprints II

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009

I made mine bigger than necessary. They spread out quite a bit when they cooked. Skipped the egg. Sounded like too much work for no reason I could figure. Someone says these aren't chocolaty enough, but I found them to be very chocolaty. Rolled them in red and green sugar and they turned out pretty for Christmas.

Pumpkin Pie Squares

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009

I doubled everything like reviewers had suggested, and when I began layering the crust into the bottom of the pan, I found that I had made WAY too much. If anything, just increase the crust ingredients one and a half times. I ended up using the rest in a 9x9 dish (including the extra pumpkin mix). This is a fantastic recipe. Way better than the pumpkin pie that was also brought to Thanksgiving! The seasoning is perfect in this recipe.

Vegetable Dill Dip

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009

Made this dip for an appetizer veggie tray for Thanksgiving. It was light and flavorful and not super filling right before the big meal. I got a lot of compliments and we continued to eat it with leftover veggies. It's different than ranch, which is a nice change. The recipe makes a lot too!

Melt - In - Your - Mouth Shortbread

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009

Wow. These are amazing, and pretty easy to make. We sprinkled with colored sugars. Important to bake at 350, I think instead of 375, and you'll have to check often because they go from not done to done in a short period of time. How many minutes it takes depends on the pan, really. I used two different pans. In one pan it took 15, and the other it took only 10. Just keep an eye on those edges and take out as soon as they start to turn brown and you'll be fine. Also, whip that butter a LONG time. I think I let it go maybe 15 minutes on high. Once I added the other ingredients I think I let it go on high about 5 minutes after the initial minute on low. Everyone loved them.

Blueberry Muffins II

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009

These muffins are awesome! The sugar on top adds great texture to the moist muffins. I beat the butter and sugar for quite a while and the rest just folded in. I used fresh blueberries the first time this time I used frozen which I defrosted almost all the way and I could tell no difference. I never 'mashed' the bluberries as the recipie calls for. I figure they get mashed enough on their on when the batter is mixed and I like whole berries in mine anyhow. I don't know if I used the 1/4 cup of sugar it calls for I just put a spoonfull on top of each one before it goes in the oven. Also, I got 16 muffins both times.

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009

These were pretty good. The only reason why I didn't give them 5 stars, is because I think the salt could easily be dropped to only 1/2 teaspoon. Other than that, they were nice and chewie. I added 1/2 cup of choco chips. These went over great with my kids!

Roasted Beets 'n' Sweets

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009

Delicious and simple. I had 3 huge beets and 2 huge yams on hand and that filled the pan. I did everything as called for except that I used fresh garlic (4 cloves minced). The yams practically melted and caramelized, the beets were enhanced by the salt and pepper and it was all just so good. My husband and I made this our main dish and it was perfect.
