Raspberry Ribbons

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2009
Very simple and lovely cookie. Looks like the picture! I took many of the tips offered by others (do not make long logs, do not make the indent too deep, do not move them too soon, etc.). They turned out very pretty and had nice flavour. I used seedless raspberry jam. I know my family will come home and devour them tonight!!

Chicken with Stuffing

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009
Oh my gosh! This was Thanksgiving in a crockpot!! I did follow the advice of some other reviewers and added an onion and some celery along with some seasonings. S & P and poultry seasoning. I used the cornbread stove-top stuffing but mixed with low salt chicken broth to cut the fat. I cooked on low for 4 hours and it was perfect. Served with some cranberry sauce along side and some fresh cooked vegetables and it made a Sunday dinner feel like a holiday. Loved it!

Pork and Pepper Stir Fry

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2009
I used this recipe mainly for the marinade and reminding me to use chile paste. The meat was very tender but I did keep it in the marinade overnight and the next full day. I added lots of veggies and it was great!

Savory Italian Sausage Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2009
Even with some necessary empty pantry creative ingredient substitutions; this sauce was amazing! I doubled the batch but used only 1 1b of sausage. I also used sweet yellow onions in lieu of green onions, only one can of stewed tomatoes, 3 cans of paste, 1 of sauce, 1 tbsp of red wine vinegar with remaining water to replace 1/2 cup of red wine. I also didn't add all the sugar, I may try it with all of it next time just to see what changes but it seems like quit a bit. Maybe me substituting the paste vs sauce and stewed adjusts the sweetness of the sauce. It was excellent. We really enjoyed it!!

Old-Fashioned Swiss Steak

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009
Great recipe. I used tomato sauce instead of juice like many others suggested. It's what I had on hand. I doubled the recipe and the leftovers were great too. I will definitely make again.

Wazzu Tailgate Chili

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009
This is my new go-to chili recipe! It is fantastic with great layers of flavor! Only changes I made were: didn't have any fresh or jarred habanero peppers, so I used about double the jalapenos. Next time, I will make sure I have fresh habaneros on hand because we do like it spicy! We ate our fill of chili the first night... there was a little leftover, so a few nights later I made... CHILI DOGS! YUM! Also, since there are just two of us now, I cut the recipe in half (hubby is a BIG eater) but next time, I may make the full batch and see how it freezes. Would be a quick and easy reheat for busy nights! Thanks so much, GStorment!

Delicious Baked Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009
I tried this recipe last night, mainly because I wanted to comment on the fact that the ONLY reason chicken comes out DRY is because it is OVERCOOKED. Marinating will not help if you still overcook it! People with this complaint should invest $6-$10 in a stem thermometer which you can buy in the kitchen section of most grocery stores, and follow its directions for use. Cook chicken to 160 degrees (FDA!) and let it rest. The other reason I wanted to try this recipe was curiosity. That much Worcestershire sauce seemed excessive, so my interested was piqued! First of all, I see no reason to use expensive olive oil (won't help health-wise since there is so little of it) when you cannot taste it anyway. I used two pinches of garlic powder and couldn't really taste it. You're already cooking in a moist environment, so there is really no reason to leave on the skin, which just turns flabby and unattractive. I even tried jacking up the temp for the last 10 minutes to crisp it up a little, but to no avail. Bottom line, it tastes like chicken baked in Worcestershire sauce. The other ingredients are really unnecessary. Sorry, Janet, but I won't be making this one again. I gave it two stars because it was edible... just not even close to a favorite way to cook chicken.

Pan de Muertos (Mexican Bread of the Dead)

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009
I'm not sure if I did something wrong. I followed the recipe exactly, but the bread was very dry and not enjoyable. Smelled great while cooking and the blend of tastes was interesting, just to dry for my family. Everyone tried it then left it alone. :o(

Awesome Honey Pecan Pork Chops

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2009
These were awesome! This is the easiest thing I've ever made that doesn't have a bunch of processed in it. I used thin-cut pork chops, so I didn't have to pound them. I threw some sweet potato spears in the oven with a little oil and dinner was ready in 20 minutes! 5 stars! This is something we will have regularly from now on!

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2009
This was absolutely yummy! I did make a few changes but used the recipe for the basis. Instead of bouillon, I used 2 cans of low salt chicken broth. I sauteed the onion & celery in a little olive oil (also threw in a handful of shredded carrots). Then added the potatoes, ham and broth (and a little garlic, salt and pepper) and cooked for awhile until the vegies were about done. I made the roux using 1% milk and added about a 1/2 to 3/4 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Then added to the soup and cooked for a little longer. This was absolutely delicious. It made a lot of soup and I am alone, so froze it in single containers so that I can take it to work for lunch. I love cooking things that I can then save myself the work on work days but still have a good meal. Thanks for the recipe.

Apple Crisp II

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2009
This is truly the best apple crisp I've ever had. I followed reviewers' recommendations to cut the water in half; I also squirted a bit of fresh lemon juice onto the apples. I used tart granny apples and 3/4 c. sugar. The topping is fantastic. This is truly one of the recipes on this site I've found.

Alfredo Sauce

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2009
Yum. Made as written with addition of 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg and some white pepper. Tasty and delicious, the cheese did fine melting in since it was in tiny chunks from the food processor. Served with steamed brocolli. Appreciate not having to use egg. Hurray for heart-attack food at home! Thanks!

Peppy's Pita Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2009
Yummmm... tasty and delicious. For the reviewer who followed the recipe to the t and ended up with crackers- it probably wasn't the recipe so much as using a bad batch of yeast. It's a living thing, only the stuff that is alive will make the dough poof.

English Trifle to Die For

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009
Can't give it less than 5 stars, but I did have a few issues. First of all, the custard was too thin as written; if you can whisk in a tablespoon or two of cornstarch, I'm sure that would help it thicken. I had to chill the custard for HOURS before it was even near thick enough to layer on. When I poured it on, it drizzled all the way to the bottom and covered up all the pretty layers I'd made. *insert boo boo lip here* but I did garnish it with a few leftover fresh raspberries and some chopped up Skor chocolate bars, delicious. My husband and most dinner guests loved it! May make again, but need to tweak that custard. Daughter suggested homemade PUDDING instead of custard; will search out some recipes. Thanks!!

Italian Spaghetti Sauce with Meatballs

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009
I cheated and prebaked the meatballs at 350 for 20 minutes- I made about 50 little ones. Also, I doubled up the sauce and added 2 8 ounce cans of petite diced tomatoes and a bunch more fresh herbs. That said, these meatballs were super easy and simmered away for an additional hour until they were tender and very tasty. Thanks!

Wow! I'm adding sugared candy ginger bits next time, but this was outstanding! One huge loaf, (baked for an hour at 350,) and 12 muffins came out of this mix. Thanks!
