Jalapeno Popper Spread

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009
ok, this was amazing! Made this Sunday for my sons Birthday and the whole family loved it. even the kids were chowing on this. made as written but think i added a touch more green chilies and also baked in oven instead of microwave. used the small baguette breads that I broiled in oven for a few minutes and it was really the best for this dip. This is now going to be at all gatherings from here on out and so quick and easy to make!

Pork and Green Chile Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
This was so fantastic! I had about a half of a pork loin roast i had made for dinner one night and decided to use it up a little differently this time. Glad I found this recipe! instead of brown instant rice I used my regular jasmine and since I didn't have any black beans on hand, used 2 cans of white beans and 2 cans of diced tomatoes so that the casserole would be more moist. used a mexican blend of shredded cheese as well and boy did our entire family really dig this dish!! we had it for left=overs at least twice which is rare in this house! Thanks and I WILL make this again!

Tomato Chicken Parmesan

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
This was delicious! I had two chicken breasts I needed to use and needed to make a quick dinner. I didn't have pasta sauce but opened a can of stewed tomatoes and added all the italian seasonings and garlic etc. to beef it up. I also used some shredded mozzarella cheese for the top. I browned the chicken put them on the bed of sauce and baked for about 20 mins. then added the cheese on top and baked another 10 mins. fantastic dinner, hubby and I loved it.

Brandy Flamed Peppercorn Steak

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
So incredibly good and impressive! Oh how I love the peppery flavor! I didn't used the full three tablespoons of pepper. I put three tablespoons in my mortar to crush but I only pressed about 2 tablespoons into the steaks. I kept adding pepper until there was a nice even layer with not all the meat covered...and turns out that was about 2 tablespoons for my steaks. The steaks I bought were not thick so I cooked for about 7 min on each side. I removed them from the pan and let the sauce thicken a bit more. Definately garnish with sliced green onion, it makes the flavor so much more amazing.

BAKER'S® ONE BOWL Coconut Macaroons

The flavor and texture are both great which is why I gave 5 stars...I wish they would stick together just a little bit better but, no matter, they are very good!

Polynesian Coleslaw

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2009
So in my search for satisfying "diet" food, I wanted new salads to eat. This is soooo flavorfull and yummy, I actually crave it every week. I would reccomend OMITTING the salt. It is plenty salty enough using the soy sauce. I would also recommend slicing (very thin) your cabbage rather then buying the pre bagged stuff. It adds more flavor and juiciness. I also add my dressing right to my bowl of salad right before I eat it.I am going to start using Braggs liquid amino acids. It has 1/3 of the sodium then soy sauce and is actually good for you and tasts the same. Look for it in the health food section by the cider vinager.PLEASE, PLEASE make this. You wont be sorry! I make it at least 2 times a week, and I am not sick of it yet! Also, add the cilantro righ to the dressing, otherwise it stick to the sides of the bowl instead of being"IN" the salad. Enjoy friends. I know you will love it.

Beefy Beef Chili

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009
This was a rather odd chili, but good-tasting. I wasn't sure of the purpose of the beef stew, nor the brand/kind so I added one large can of Dinty Moore. I also substituted V8 for the tomato juice, but put half of the amount called for (one 11-oz can), as I like my chili thicker. It was ready in the 30 minutes that my cornbread took!

Pleasant Pork Chops

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009
Deee-lish! I made the recipe as stated, just upped the seasonings a bit. The taste was awesome, and I had everything on hand already, so it was convenient as well.

Brownie Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
This turned out perfectly. The cheesecake didn't crack or sink. It looked as good as it tasted. I topped it with chocolate curls and served with raspberry sauce. I skipped the chocolate chips only because I forgot to buy them. I did put a pan of water on a lower rack of the oven while baking the cheesecake portion. Partly to prevent cracking and partly to catch any leakage from the springform pan.

Raspberry Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
Very good. I used frozen berries and skipped step 3 like others commented. I didn't have oj so I used water and a tsp of orange extract. I also cut back on the cornstarch because I wanted a thinner sauce.

Caramelized Baked Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
I was glad to find this recipe that I didn't need to marinate first. I did have to warm up the sauce in the microwave a bit so that it blended well before I poured it over the chicken. The chicken turned out great, and I'll be making again.

Potato Leek Soup III

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
This was so delicious. The only changes I made were to add 5 cloves of minced garlic to sautee with the leeks, cut the butter in half and add about 1.5 more cups of broth to the soup. I will make this again and again, and will use it as a base for all of my cream soups/chowder etc. Next time, I will try using just milk to see if I can cut some of the fat. If I do that, I am sure I'll need to add more cornstarch to thicken up.
