Mouse's Macaroni and Cheese

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2011

This was delicious but I did make the following adjustments: I used 2 cups of medium shell pasta, added some chopped broccoli and chopped ham and used whatever cheese I had in the fridge which was yellow cheddar, white cheddar, and monterey. I added onion powder, garlic powder and paprika to the seasoning in the milk mixture. Then I baked it for 20 minutes and took the cover off and broiled for another 5 minutes on 400 because my husband and I love the crunchy bread topping. I used a 2.5 qt casserole dish since I increased the amout of pasta. This one is a keeper.

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2011

This was easy and delicious. I changed it up a little bit by adding paprika and garlic powder to the mayo mixture. I also tried to make it a little healthier by using margarine and low fat mayo. I seasoned the fish with old bay seasoning before broiling. So yummy.

Carne Guisada III

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2011

Every loved this meal. I made some minor changes. I cooked it in the crockpot and I omitted the oregano and extra salt. If you're doing it in the crockpot just put the meat and potatoes in the crockpot, stir all the other ingredients together and pour over the meat and potatoes. I cooked on low for 8 hours. I also added a chopped onion. This one is definitely a keeper, and so easy.

Whole Wheat Beer Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2010

This was so yummy and easy to make! I used pumpkin ale so the bread had a little bit of a pumpkin flavor to it...delicious! I didn't have any wheat flour so I just used 3 cups of all purpose flour. I also melted a 1/2 stick of butter and poured it on the top before baking.

Linda's Lasagna

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2010

This was my first attempt at making lasagna and it did not disappoint. My husband and I are lactose intolerant so I used lactaid cottage cheese and veggie shredded mozzarella. Most recipes call for ricotta so I was happy to come across this one and finally make a lasagna we can eat. Thanks Linda!

Easier Chicken Marsala

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2010

This is the marsala recipe I use all the time. I tweaked it a little bit to my liking. I cook the mushrooms in a separate pan because I found that they didn't cook all the way with the original recipe. When the chicken is done cooking I add the mushrooms to that pan so they can saute with the marsala sauce. I also add one cube of beef bullion right before I cover the dish and I use extra marsala wine.

Chicken Breasts with Balsamic Vinegar and Garlic

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2009

My husband and I loved this recipe. After reading some reviews I omitted the flour. We're also not big fans of thyme so I used some dried dill instead. It came out great, I'm definitely adding this to my recipe files.

Chicken Noodle Stir-Fry

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2009

This was really good! I did make a few changes. I used a bag of frozen stir fry vegetables instead of the fresh vegetables. I also added half a brick of extra firm tofu (about 7 oz) cut into cubes. Then I added about a tablespoon of sesame seeds.

Hearty Split Pea Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2009

This recipe was AMAZING. I did it a little differently, I used hotdogs instead of ham because that's just how some jewish people do it since traditionally we don't eat ham. I also added a diced potato. Also, if you use boars head hot dogs and certain types of swanson chicken broth this recipe is gluten free. I had a friend over for dinner with a gluten allergy and she was able to eat this. I definitely will be making this again.

Basic Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2008

This was really good! The recommended amount of confectioners sugar was too sweet for my taste. I made 2 batches of this frosting and reduced the sugar in half for the next batch. It was so much better! I also used tofu imitation cream cheese for one of my batches because a few people in my family are lactose intolerant and the frosting still came out delicious.

Potato Pancakes I

These latkes were awesome! I shredded everything in my cuisinart, so easy! I followed this recipe exactly except for the addition of about 1/2 tsp of nutmeg. It adds a nice flavor

Fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting

Reviewed: Aug. 5, 2008

This was a really great recipe, I made it just as described but I think I need one more tablespoon of milk. I poured it over a bundt cake so I heated a bowl of the icing in the microwave for 15-20 seconds and then poured it over the bundt, it looked and tasted fabulous.

Baked Teriyaki Chicken

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2008

This was really good although I did things a little differently. First of all, I don't like my teriyaki so sweet so next time I might use a little less sugar. Second of all, I wanted more of a stir fry so I cooked the chicken first, cut it up in to pieces and then made the sauce as directed. I put the pieces of chicken, some mushrooms, a bag of stir fry vegetables (thawed), and some cooked brown rice in the pan and simmered covered for 10 minutes. It was a hit!

Italian Sausage, Peppers, and Onions

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2008

This was really good. Like another reviewer suggested I used beer instead of white wine. I also only used 1 yellow onion and there was more than enough. This definitely is not enough for 6 people, 1 sausage link per person is not enough! If you're cooking for 6 I would double the recipe.

Nutella ™ Cheesecake

Reviewed: Jul. 7, 2008

I was a little skeptical because this was a no bake recipe but it came out really good! I used a tofu imitation cream cheese spread b/c I am lactose intolerant and it came out almost like a pudding pie. Everyone really liked it.

Passover Chocolate Mandelbrot

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2008

this just came out of the oven and I couldn't help but take a taste, it was as good as all the other reviewers say it is. I took the advice of the others and took out the bread at 35 minutes, let it cool, sliced it, and then sprinkled the cinnamon & sugar. Then I put the bread back in the oven for a few minutes. I can't wait for my guests to try it, thanks!

Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed: Feb. 22, 2008

This recipe was great but I did make a few small changes. Like others suggested I did brush my bottom pie crust with egg white and bake for 5 minutes. I also added 1 potato cut into cubes because I thought pot pie should have potato in it. Last, I added onion salt, garlic and pepper to the raw chicken and also to the flour mixture. It was a little time consuming but my fiance LOVED this one.

Easy Pesto

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2008

This recipe was awesome. The only change I would make is keep the oven at a lower temperature and watch your nuts! They definitely don't take 10 minutes to toast, I had to throw the first batch out because they burned on me. I also used one clove of garlic, I thought 3 would be a little overboard.

Pumpkin Fluff Dip
