Fantastic Black Bean Chili

Reviewed: Mar. 11, 2011

Decent chili. Not the best I've had, but I was able to use ingrediants I had on hand. I used twice the tomatoes and only 2 cans of black beans. I also spiced up the turkey with a teaspoon of Cumin. I agree that it could have used more seasoning. Using a dollop of light sour cream and light cheddar cheese tops the dish off well.

Banana Oatmeal Cookie

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2011

Pretty decent cookie..although very cake-like in texture. Changes I made are as follows: Used 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup WW flour. 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. 1/2 cup butter with 1/4 cup applesauce to replace the shortening. 1/2 cup of sugar instead of 1 full cup. 2/3 cup of raisins and no nuts. Baked at 350 for 15 min.

Simply Steamed Asparagus

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2010

Very good. I usually don't like asparagus, but this was really good. I still added butter after it was done cooking.

Spaghetti Italian

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2009

Ummm HELLO...YUMMY! According to my family, it's the best spaghetti I've ever made! I didn't make any changes and let it simmer for a few hours to get the sauce nice and thick. Not to mention it's very quick and easy to make :)

Ham 'n' Cheese Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2009

Best mashed potatoes I've ever made :) Instead of the heavy cream, I used 1/2 Cup skim milk. I used 1/2 cup cooked ham as that's all I had left, and 2% sharp shredded cheddar cheese...Still turned out wonderful!

Cowboy Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2008

Followed this recipe exactly and the chicken came out very very dry. 1 hour is too long for 4 chicken breasts. The flavor was good, but way too spicy for my 3-year-old.

Skillet Green Beans

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2008

This was ok. I used 1lb of frozen green beans, but they were way too crunchy. I would recommend fully cooking the fresh/frozen beans and making sure they are soft before adding the spices and sour cream. Next time, I will use canned beans. Also, I had to double the sour cream and spices because they turned out pretty bland just following the recipe.

Country Style Fried Potatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2008

This was ok. You HAVE to use a non-stick pan for this, otherwise you'll have a big brown crusty mess on the bottom like I did. Took a long time to get the potatoes done, and it was pretty bland, even after adding 1/2 small onion. Could have used more spices.

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2008

NUMMY FOR MY TUMMY!! This was AWSOME! I followed the recipe to the T and added about 1 Cup frozen peas to cook with the other veggies. I also used Skim milk. Took a little while longer for the milk, butter and flour to thicken, but turned out DELISH! Top it with some FF sour cream and 2% shredded cheddar cheese :) 3-year-old and hubby loved it!!

Slow Cooker London Broil

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2008

I used two cans of mushroom and tomato soup instead of one, and the sauce turned out really tastey. London Broil is NOT the meat I would use in this recipe. After cooking on low for 8 hours, it came out very hard.

Feta Cheese Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2008

Made this with chicken breast for dinner tonight. It was actually very good! I used fat free half and half instead of the cream. The feta added just the right amount of cheese flavor, and I didn't have to add butter, which is a nice low-fat change.

Banana Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2008

Made these last night. Took the advice of one member and mashed 1/2 the blueberries and used 4 ripe bananas. Followed recipe to the T and they turned out very tart and BLAND. Daughter and hubby wouldn't eat them.

Christmas Brunch Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2007

I have had this recipe for a long time, and was about to post it until I found this one :) This is my favorite "family" recipe (haha), although there are a couple of slight differences. My recipe calls for 6 cups of rice crispy cereal, 20oz of cheese, and only 4 eggs. This will serve more folks, but you'll need a bigger baking dish :) Also, you'll want to make it the night before and refrigerate it, as this will soften the rice crispy cereal. Otherwise, if you bake it right away, the casserole will have a bit more crunch to it.
