Home-Fried Potatoes

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2011

I was looking forward to trying this recipe because I love homefries with onion and bell pepper. I followed the recipe, the smell was intoxicating, but for me the end product was only okay. It lacked flavor. I wonder if using some flavor-infused olive oil when frying the potatoes would do the trick. I am going to also try and add a little more seasoning, maybe some roasted garlic.

Too Much Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2011

I loved this recipe. The cake was so moist and stayed that way for 3 days, until we finished it. I love chocolate, but my husband thought it was too rich. Regardless, it you are craving chocolate cake, this recipe is the way to go.

Chicken Fried Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2011

My family loved it and I will make it again. However, I think that it needs a bit more seasoning. It was a bit bland for my taste. I also will pound out the chicken breast.

Debdoozie's Blue Ribbon Chili

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2011

This is a quick recipe that can be easily modified to you own taste. I like to season ground beef while it is browning with a little seasoned salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and worcestshire sauce. After all the ingredients were combined and had cooked for 30 minutes, I sprinkled all of the same seasonings, plus a 3 dashes of hot sauce, and a couple of pinches of pinches of granulated sugar to break up the acidity. The results were awesome! My whole family loved it!

Our version of the Vegetable Beef Soup II recipe

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2011

I followed the directions. Once made, I thought it made a great base, but I felt it needed a little doctoring. I added a bag of frozen mix veggies, another chopped carrot, another celery stalk, increased both the basil and thyme seasonings by another 1/4 tsp, added a sprinkle of onion powder, added a sprinkle of garlic powder, and added a couple of sprinkles of black pepper, plus a dash of hot sauce, and a little pinch of sugar to try and break up some of the acidity. It is a great base recipe that you can do a lot with to make it shine! Plus, it came out delicious! My family loved it!

Easy OREO Truffles

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2010

This recipe is delicious and excellent for children to make. I purchased milk chocolate candy coating that was microwavable, and my girls were able to make it themselves (with just a bit of assistance from me.)

Garlic Lover's Pizza Crust for the Bread Machine

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2010

We enjoyed the end product of this recipe. It turned out wonderful. The only reason I am not giving it 5 star is because it lacked the garlic flavor I was expecting. I think that I will increase the garlic next time.

Quiche Lorraine I

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2010

Heaven in a pie pan! This was absolutely delicious. I used a pre-made pie crust. Before cooking the pie crust, I buttered the sides and bottom of my glass pie pan. I don't like swiss cheese so I used a mix of moneteray jack and mild cheddar. I also like a more custardy type of quiche, so I added one additional egg. I followed the recipe to a "T" otherwise. My children, husband, and I all LOVED it! Thank you LADYNUSS for such an amazing and versatile recipe!

Holiday Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2010

I have been making this chicken salad for several years now. I have used the same ingredients, but different measurements. I tried the ingredient measurements in this recipe and TRUST me. My husband said it was the best that I have ever made. Thank you for this version! I will be making this again.

Cocktail Meatballs

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2010

This is a good recipe, but was not a slam dunk for my family. I love the meatball recipe, but the sauce was just okay. I will definitely use the meatball recipe again though.

Speedy Homemade Salsa

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2010

The salsa is very good! It is definitely a base that can be altered to satisfy anyone's taste. I think next time I may add a bit of lime juice, a little hot sauce, drained black beans, sweet corn kernels, and maybe a tiny bit of sugar or crushed pineapple to break up some of the heat and acidity. I love how quick it is to put together and how versatile it is! Thank you for a great recipe!

Classic Macaroni Salad

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2010

This is simply the BEST macaroni salad I have ever had! My husband and I usually don't like macaroni salad because they usually have too much mayo. I love the flavor the mustard and vinegar added to the recipe. It received rave reviews even from my little picky eaters!
