Grandma's Green Bean Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2011

This is our new green bean casserole! The only thing I changed was to use French fried onions instead of the crackers on top. I increased the recipe to make 15 servings, but instead of adding more sour cream I used a can of cream of mushroom soup. Delish!

Chilled Strawberry Angel Food Dessert

Reviewed: May 9, 2011

This was really good! Easy to make and a light dessert. I got rave reviews on Mother's Day! If it hadn't been eaten so fast I would have taken a picture to post!

Baked Ziti III

Reviewed: May 9, 2011

Very good and easy to make. I also mixed the sour cream with the pasta before putting it in a 9x13 pan. Went over really well for our Mother's Day carry-in at Mom's.

Baked Teriyaki Chicken

Reviewed: May 2, 2011

We LOVED this. I changed the sauce just a little because I had some leftover from a dish I made the day before. So mine had some honey and Worcestershire and brown sugar in it. But even my picky son ate it.

Cajun Spiced Pork Chops

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2011

We liked this but I only gave it four stars because I thought it was a little too spicy. But I generally don't like things really spicy either. I cut the boneless pork chops into small pieces and tossed them in a bowl with the spice mixture. I ended up turning it into a sweet and sour pork dish. I'll make it again but a little more mild.

Fluffy Pancakes

Reviewed: Mar. 11, 2011

I didn't think these turned out a lot bigger than any other pancake mix, but they sure tasted lighter! I will make these from now on instead of any box mix.

Sorta Salisbury Steak

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2011

We all really liked this. I added spices to the flour before I dredged the steaks. And like other reviewers, I used beefy onion soup mix and brown gravy mix with about 2 cups of water. The steaks were fork-tender and the gravy was already made!

Sausage Potato Bake

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2011

Good basic supper recipe. I didn't have vegetable soup so I added a can of corn and a can of green beans, both drained. I also used dry onion soup mix for flavor with a little water.

Strawberry Oatmeal Bars

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2011

I made these according to the recipe, except using Splenda Brown Sugar Blend for the sugar and sugar-free preserves. I appreciated the fact that they were thin so that I am getting fewer calories! I will try them again, maybe with less butter this time. A keeper! Update: I made these with a low sugar cherry pie filling. It came out just like cobbler! I'm always thrilled when I can adapt a usually high-sugar dessert into something my husband and I can eat.

Prairie Meat Loaf

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2011

I'm always on the lookout for different ways to make old favorites and I really liked this. But beware...this makes a HUGE meatloaf. I didn't read ahead to see how much meat it called for until I had already started. But we can use the leftovers for lunches. I only had about 1 1/2 cups of cheese and that seemed to be enough. I didn't put any on top. I might cut back on the celery next time as I found it a bit too strong but all in all, this tasted great!

Cream of Broccoli Soup I

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2011

This was my first attempt at cream of broccoli soup. It was delish! After reading other recipes on allrecipes.com, I decided to use 3 cans of chicken broth in place of the water and bouillon. I also added some leftover cauliflower and almost doubled the broccoli. I added more cheese too. A definite keeper!

Easy Ham and Cheese Appetizer Sandwiches

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2010

Very good! We made these for family on Christmas Eve. We made them about an hour before everyone arrived, then kept them warm in a roaster. These were a huge hit with everyone! Next time we are going to try different meats and cheeses and play around a little with the flavors in the butter.

Crumb-Coated Chicken Thighs

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2010

This was ok. I made it exactly like the recipe, except cut back on the curry. Nothing spectacular.

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2010

We loved these! The only thing I did different is scale it back to 12 muffins and use Splenda Blend in the muffin batter and regular Splenda in the topping. My husband and I are bariatric patients and I regularly substitute Splenda products for sugar in my recipes. Also, make sure you make a well in your muffin batter before you put the cream cheese filling in. Excellent!

Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2010

I really liked these, but I made some changes. I used powdered milk mixed with water to make one cup because we were short on milk. I used applesauce instead of the oil. I think this combination made them more moist so I had to double the flour. I used 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1 cup all purpose flour. I used 1/2 Splenda Brown Sugar blend instead of the white sugar. I added a bit of vanilla and cinnamon like others suggested. I also cut the baking powder down to 2tsp. I baked them for 20mins at 375 and they came out great! They are not your usual bakery type muffins but a more healthy version. My husband and I are both bariatric patients and these are "sweets" that we can actually eat without having a reaction to the sugar.

Simple BBQ Ribs

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2010

Very good. I followed some of the other reviewers' advice and added some spices to the water: onions, chili powder, a little bit of hot sauce, liquid smoke. I boiled them for about 45 mins and then into the oven for 90 mins. Excellent!

Apple Crisp Cups

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2010

These are great! I subsituted 1Tbsp Splenda for the sugar in the apples. And I used Splenda Brown Sugar Blend for the brown sugar in the crust. Mine didn't crisp up but maybe they needed to be baked a little longer. I think next time I will just press the oatmeal mixture into a pan. I've been looking for an apple crisp recipe that I could adapt for us Bariatric patients, and I think I found it! Thanks!

Slow Cooker Apple Pork Chops

Reviewed: Sep. 30, 2010

I made this exactly as the recipe read except I didn't use the cabbage. We found it bland and the meat turned out dry. Won't make it again.

Mom's Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2010

This is very good. I've made a couple batches with Splenda Blend and it comes out good too. When using Splenda, or Splenda Blend, cut the quantity of sugar in half.
