Slow-Cooked, Texas-Style Beef Brisket

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2011

Basic and good. I cooked in slow cooker for 24 hours and then moved it to the stove -- I think the taste is better. I also kept ALL the liquid it was cooking in, mixed in the sauce ingredients with a couple of tablespoons of some pepper/garlic seasoning I have, pulled it and let it simmer for an hour. Let it sit another couple of hours and it reduced to a thick sauce. Lovely.

Slow Cooker Texas Pulled Pork

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2011

I live in Texas . . . . this rocks. I make the recipe using only 2 lbs of meat and the meat-sauce ratio is just right for us. I also use Coleman's dry mustard rather than prepared. And if you don't have a slow cooker, brown the onions in the oil first, then brown the meat a bit, and add the sauce. I keep it at low for about 3-4 hours and it's great.

Easy and delicious. I used half the meat but same amount of veggies, and it was still good.

Not very exciting. Needed a stronger curry flavor -- more depth.

Sweet Corn Cakes

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2008

I had been looking for something cake-y, but tried this and was pleasantly surprised. It was a nice gluten-free side dish to our gumbo.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2008

Really good. I doubled the recipe and added one small can of pumpkin -- more would have been fine. Baked up beautiful and moist.

Thai Chicken Curry with Pineapple

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2008

This is a great make-at-home Thai recipe for those of us without authentic ingredients around. I didn't even have fish sauce tonight, and sub'd soy sauce. Assembled a different way, too. Browned cubed chicken breast first, then added everything else. The Thai Kitchen green curry paste is great -- a rounded tablespoon gives a nice kick.

Sunday Gumbo

Reviewed: Aug. 12, 2008

This was delicious and so easy. I used precooked andouille sausage and a bag of peeled shrimp. Perfect. Sauteed the sausage with the veggies to start. I added brown rice, but it took 45 mins to cook. White rice would shorten the time.

Southern Candied Sweet Potatoes

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2007

Can't go wrong with butter and sugar! I used about a cup and a half of brown sugar, and put it all in the slow cooker. Worked out well.

I went to epicurious.com as others suggested and found the recipe there with some minor differences. This is an amazing recipe, and makes the most delicious turkey I have ever had.

Sweet and Sour Pork III

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2007

This is a great recipe, and easier than it seems at first glance. I used vegetables on hand -- cabbage, carrots, and onion, and doubled the pineapple. I used brown sugar, and might cut back on that next time. The pork was really tasty.

Yummy Bok Choy Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2007

A great salad. I didn't use the dark green ends of the greens -- they tend to be a bit bitter. And because I didn't have any chow mein noodles, I crumbled up some dry ramien noodles, and they worked just fine.

Easy Swedish Apple Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2007

How can you go wrong with apples, butter, and sugar? It's an easy to make and delicious way to put them all together. I used half brown sugar and half white. A huge hit, so you might want to double the recipe and use a casserole pan!

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies VI

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2007

These are perfect cookies. I turn them into health snacks that the kids will even eat for breakfast. I substitute whole wheat flour and about 1/2 cup of flax meal for the all-purpose flour, and mix in whatever nuts and raisins I have. They're not too sweet and just the right texture. Doubling the recipe just fills my Kitchen Aid. I bake about 25 cookies, then roll the rest into logs and freeze. Then we have home-made cook ies anytime we want them.
