I did not care for this at all. My husband, who will eat anything, adores anything having to do with pizza and rarely makes statements such as, "I did not care for that", as he said when I made this foundue.

Reuben Sandwich II

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2007

This was quite good and I will make it again. I did rinse the kraut once and heated it in a pan before adding it to the sandwich. Also, my store does not carry corned beef as a general rule, so I used pastrami in place of the corned beef. My husband absolutely loved it, as did I! I do suggest either making your own 1000 island dressing or buying a very high quality brand instead of the standard ones.

Newport Clam Chowder

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2007

I made this recipe exactly as written. Although I found this recipe to be easy, and we all thought it was absolutely delicious, it did taste more like onion chowder than clam chowder. I decided to dice 6 slices of smokey bacon, frying it until crispy, and added that to the pot in hopes of masking some of the onion flavor and it worked perfectly! I will definitely make this recipe again, however; I will reduce the amount of onion and just use 1/2 of a large onion. I will also keep the bacon addition.

Cheese Fondue

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2007

This is a great base recipe for fondue. I did add 1/2 a tsp. of Colman's ground mustard and 7 ounces of Velveeta in place of 3.5 oz's of each of the other two cheeses because the the first time I made it the recipe was a bit strong and a bit too oily for our taste. I also rubbed the fondue pot with a clove of garlic before placing the ingredients in the pot. Also, a rule of thumb for a great fondue is to make sure to toss the shredded cheeses in the flour instead of adding it to the pot. This will prevent clumping and will make a much smoother fondue.

Sweet Corn Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2007

This was alright. It was way to fatty and way to sweet for us. After I took steps to lighten it up it came out very, very good and I will make this again using my modified recipe.

Creamy Lemon Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2007

I made this cake for hubby's birthday and it was terrific!! To lower the calorie count, I used a can of diet 7up when making the cake. This replaces all the other ingredients in baking the cake; no, water, oil, eggs; just the 7up and the cake mix. You use light color soda for light cakes and dark color soda for dark cakes. Everything else I did the same except I used fat free pudding and milk. This was OUTSTANDING and no one even knew I used fat free products!!! I filled 7 requests for this recipe.

Chicken Liver Pate

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2007

I think this recipe is good, but its not great. It seems to be missing 'something'. I mean no disrespect to the author, however, it does need a little fine tuning.
