Very good. I sometimes use applesauce instead of oil. Also, I have found that the melted chocolate can be a bit tricky to stir into the mixture (it hardens on the spoon, spatula, etc. I add the oil (or applesauce) to the chocolate before mixing into the rest, and it works quite well.

Shrimp Cakes

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2008

I have made these 3 times since finding the recipe - and they are great! I have used italian seasoned breadcrumbs with perfect results. I also cut back on the mayo. As a dipping sauce, try mixing equal parts of dijon mustard, mayo, and green tomato relish - or pickle relish. YUM!

Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2007

This is fabulous! Most of the time I use leftover chicken/turkey, so I saute the celery and carrot with the onion so I can skip the whole boiling step. My nephew doesn't like a lot of crust, so I just use the top crust, and it still rocks!

Slow Cooker Italian Beef for Sandwiches

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2007

I have made this many times, and it is always yummy. Every time I make it I try something new. I personally like eye of round roasts best in this dish, because I can slice it rather than shred it. Italian beef in Chicago and the burbs is sliced, not shredded. Try using fresh garlic instead of powder, and adding peppers the last hour. I do use beef broth instead of water, but I never use 2 packets of the italian seasoning. I think it would be way too salty.

I've mad this many times since finding the recipe. It comes out perfect every time. Once I used homemade salsa instead of the veges, and it still came out great.

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2007

Yummy and Easy. I used cheddar (didn't have swiss) and added a bit of milk to the egg. Will make again and again!

Scottish Shortbread II

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2007

This recipe rocks! The only ingredient the authentic store bought cookies have that these dont is salt. I added just a dash, and they are perfect!

Cheddar Strata with Grilled Onions

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2001

Like everything I make, I changed the recipe a bit. I omitted the tomato, and added ham. I also sauteed some hot peppers with the onions. It was excellent.

Baked Seafood Au Gratin

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2001

Out of this world!! I used Tilapia instead of the flounder, and added lobster. It does take some time to make, but it is relatively easy. I will make it time and time again. Better than Bob Chins Crab House!!!
