Creamy Mashed Potatoes II

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2011

These were tasty, but not my most favorite. They did not have a lot of flavor, despite all the butter, sour cream, cream cheese, and ranch. How is that even possible??? I added the whole packet of ranch dressing too. Overall, not bad but not "the" mashed potato recipe worth saving.

Crescent Bacon-Cheddar Pinwheels

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2011

SO good! Mine did not turn out beautiful as the perforations kept popping apart, which made it difficult to roll these tightly. But regardless, they were FABULOUS! I used 8 slices of turkey bacon and omitted the onion.

Maple Roast Turkey and Gravy

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2011

Delicious! I had the dubious honor of cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year, and my husband declared it to be the best meal EVER. This turkey was obviously the centerpiece. I followed the recipe precisely and the flavors were absolutely yummy. I will say though that I did not detect a maple flavor so much, but regardless I would not hesitate to make this again.

Bella's Rosemary Red Potatoes

Reviewed: May 26, 2011

Tasty. These took about 40 minutes to cook at 450 degrees for us. I used olive oil (about 4 tablespoons total) rather than the butter/oil combination.

Christmas Breakfast Sausage Casserole

Reviewed: May 18, 2011

Very tasty and easy- I only changed a few things based on other reviews. I used 6 eggs instead of 4 and I used a bag of Marie Callendar's cheese and garlic croutons instead of the bread. I also omitted the salt due to the use of the croutons. I layered the croutons on the bottom of the dish and then everything else was mixed together and poured on top. I made this for a work breakfast meeting and everyone was suitably impressed.

Luau Punch

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2010

Very tasty! It also tastes just as delicous without freezing it- you can add an ice ring or ice cubes if you want to do something like a punch fountain.

Tender Italian Baked Chicken

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2010

Holy cow- this was GOOD! I have made a lot of chicken recipes from this site, and I do believe this one is my favorite. We used lite mayo and Panko Italian breadcrumbs. We also placed the chicken on a wire cooling rack on top of the baking sheet to help maintain crispiness on the bottom of the chicken. We cooked it at 400 degrees for 35 minutes, but our chicken breasts were HUGE! We had to use probably about double the stated breadcrumb amount in order to cover the chicken. Not a big deal though. Absolutely fabulous, and a real kid pleasing recipe.

Cajun Spiced Pork Chops

Reviewed: Jul. 7, 2010

Definitely not our favorite recipe. The flavor of the cumin really overpowered everything else. To eat these, we ended up covering the pork chops with BBQ sauce. We won't be saving this recipe.

Too Much Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2010

Good, but not great. It ended up being a little bit dry which was probably the biggest negative. I followed the recipe precisely, but per other comments I used mini chocolate chips instead of regular chocolate chips. That was probably a good idea- the mini chocolate chips melted into the cake. I dusted the top of the cake with powdered sugar.

Spicy Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2010

Wonderful flavor! While this is called "spicy," it is not "hot." The spice flavor was fantastic- so much better than the pre-seasoned pork tenderloins that are so popular in the grocery stores nowadays. When it was cooking, I could really smell the ginger and was a bit worried that it would be overpowering, but it was not. I cooked half of a 3-pound tenderloin in the oven at 400 degrees for about 50 minutes. It came out perfectly moist and delicious. This will definitely be our go-to pork tenderloin recipe. Thanks!

Baked Beans I

Reviewed: Jun. 14, 2010

These were a huge hit! I used Bush's Boston Recipe beans, and I removed the 2 giant pork chunks that were in the can. I crumbled a slice of maple bacon into the beans instead. Everything else was done exactly per the recipe. Everyone thought they were great.

Busy Day Barbeque Brisket

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2010

This was excellent! The dry rub was very flavorful. After the meat was cooked and sliced, we dunked the slices into the sauce. Yummy! I will add that you are probably better to cook this closer to 8 hours than 10 hours, unless your brisket is a good bit larger than the recipe calls for. Ours was almost 3 pounds and we cooked it for 9 1/2 hours (since we were at work). It was a little bit dry, but when dipped into the barbecue sauce it was not even noticeable. Do not hesitate to try this- it is great.

Slow Cooker Texas Pulled Pork

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2010

Pulled pork perfection! Per my hubby- easily as good as from any restaurant we have been. I used a Boston butt roast and omitted the onion. I also heated up all of the ingredients for the sauce together before adding them to the slow cooker. I cooked it on high for 5 hours and then shredded it, at which point I also removed the fat. I left it in the slow cooker on low for another 3 hours. Perfect.

Slow Cooker Italian Beef for Sandwiches

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2010

SO easy and delicious! Like many others, I used a chuck roast rather than a rump roast. I also used 1 cup of beef broth and 2 cups of water. Other than than, everything else was the same. Not only was it delicious on the first night, it was also delicious on the second night! Make sure you use a crusty bread/roll or the juices will make your bread/roll soggy.

Better Cheddar Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2010

Delicious! I did make a couple changes though based on what I had on hand. I did not have any cornflakes and could not get to the store, so I used crushed cheez-it crackers (the cheddar/parmesan duo variety). Also, I used only half the amount of butter and 1 egg white. Overall, the chicken was a bit salty, but I think that was because I used the crackers instead of cornflakes. If I did it the same way again, I would omit the garlic salt and replace it with garlic powder. I also cooked it on a rack placed on top of a baking sheet so the bottom would not get soggy. It worked pretty well. I will definitely make this again.

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2009

These are pretty good, but then any cookie that features a Reese's PB cup as the star is going to be pretty good! The cookie part tasted a little bit "doughy" to me although it was cooked entirely, which is why I only gave it 4 stars. They are very cute cookies.

Rich Chocolate Frosting

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2009

WOW! This is SO GOOD! I would give it more stars if I could. "Rich" is probably an understatement. It is super fudgey and delicious. I made 1/2 the recipe and it was still WAY too much for an 8 inch, 2 layer cake, even with the frosting super thick. I saved the leftover frosting to try on brownies.

Aunt Mary's Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2009

This was just okay. I attempted to make this cake into a layer cake. It did NOT work. I thoroughly greased the pans, but when I attempted to take the first layer out of the pan, the top of the cake came out while the bottom of the cake stayed firmly planted in the pan. Not good. It was a good opportunity to taste the cake at least. :o) The cake was nothing special. The texture was a bit spongey and it did not taste overly chocolatey. So putting aside the fact that the cake crumbled, I just did not really like the cake all that much either. Oh well.
