Gooey Butter Cake II

Reviewed: Aug. 12, 2008

YUM! This was very tasty, very rich and sweet, so you can't eat too much at a time. I didn't have almond extract so I just used vanilla instead and it turned out delicious. I would love to try it with different cake mixes, chocolate would probably be SO good.

Tasted great, but I used a lemon flavored olive oil to give it an extra kick.

Fish Tacos

Reviewed: Jul. 2, 2008

This was awesome! I didn't batter the fish, just fried it a bit in olive oil. I also added tomatoes and used high-fiber wheat tortillas. My husband praised it too!

Greek Orzo Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2008

I made this tonight and it was so good! I added cooked chicken, left out the artichoke juice and for spices only used salt, pepper, parsley and oregano. Yummy yummy. I will make this again! It would be good (maybe w/o the orzo) wrapped up in a tortilla.

No Bake Bumpy Peanut Butter Nuggets

Reviewed: Jun. 13, 2008

Yummers, these were easy and good! I used milk b/c I didn't have dry milk, and used honey instead of apple juice concentrate. My husband and kids loved them too.

Quick Quiche

Reviewed: Jun. 3, 2008

This was so good, and so easy. I've made it at least 5 times in the last month, a few times for dinner, a brunch, to a potluck, and for a friend after having surgery. Each time I've used the ingredients I've had on hand and it's been delicious. My favorite so far is bacon and parmesan crust, with broccoli, onion and pureed green beans (originally intended for my baby) and parm on the top. Yum!

Spanakopita II

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2008

This recipe is so wonderful! I put in a dash of nutmeg with the dill and flour - I think it really makes a difference. I also use two sheets, then cut them into strips. Watch the 'how to' video for the confidence needed to tackle the phyllo dough. They are very easy once you make them the first time. I can cook the filling and stuff and fold them in about an hour. I do cut the sheets up into four strips to make four per two sheets for appetizers, or two big ones per two sheets if they are a main dish served with a greek salad. I now have made them five times, and they are always popular and my boyfriend always begs me to make extra!

Corn Flake Cookies II

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2008

These cookies were so good! They had a great taste and a good texture. My husband is pretty picky with cookie texture and this cookie had a nice combo of chewy and crispy. Thanks!

Cheddar Baked Chicken

This was very good and relatively easy. I didn't use the rice cereal and used fresh breadcrumbs. I also added shredded romano cheese to the cheese/crumb mixture.

Italian Wedding Soup I

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2008

This was very good, even my 3 y.o. ate it! I used fresh breadcrumbs and added some oregano and basil to the meatballs. I also substituted collard greens for the escarole b/c I couldn't find it in the store.

Lentil Soup III

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2008

Good, basic recipe. To make it gluten free (for a friend) I used water instead of broth, added celery, and more spices. I also added about a cup of dry brown rice. To make it husband-friendly, I then added cooked chicken and a package of taco seasoning. Okay tasting, but very healthy!

Shrimp Etoufee III

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2007

This was very good. I made some changes though. I made it for 4 instead of 10 servings. Used a can of diced chiles instead of green pepper, added a can of black beans, and used beef broth (it's what I had) instead of water. It had chowder-y taste but was less creamy. Overall very good, I would make it again and would add some rice

Grandma Johnson's Scones

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2007

These were SO good. I added lemon juice and poppyseeds to them and then drizzled them with lemon icing, delicious. I've never made scones before and I didn't realize how much they would rise, they ended up being huge, so bear that in mind when you're cutting them. I also froze half the recipe to make later and these were just as good.
