Slow Cooker Creamed Corn

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2010
I had high hopes for this one, but it just didn't do anything special for my family. It takes like corn with cream cheese...that's pretty much it. I'd rather have the frozen creamed corn. Sorry!

Sweet Potato Casserole I

Reviewed: May 14, 2010
Another 5 star review! Didn't change a thing except I used baked fresh sweet potatoes. Just threw them in the oven the night before, let them cool overnight, then peeled them when I was ready to make the casserole. I make this often for my mom because it is one of her favorite dishes. Thanks for posting!

No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

Reviewed: May 14, 2010
I made this for Mother's Day and my 82-year-old mom raved, and so did my kids and grands! I didn't use as much whipped topping, only because I misread the label on the tub I bought (12 oz) and I added maybe a couple tablespoons more peanut butter. I've already been warned this will be requested often.

Banana Split Bars

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2010
Mm-mm, good! I was out of graham crackers, so substituted vanilla wafers. Otherwise, followed the recipe to the letter. It was a hit at our family Easter dinner. I'll be making this one again...and again!

Magic Lemon Pie

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2010
Very very good pie, and so easy it deserves an extra star. I did make a 3 (large) egg-white meringue with 1/4 cup sugar, and added a bit of yellow food coloring to closer mimic the color of lemon meringue, but other than that, followed the recipe to the letter. It really needs to be refrigerated overnight to set well. Make it tonight, ready in the morning. This will be my go-to recipe from now on when I need a quicky for potluck, etc.

Slow Cooker Casserole

Reviewed: Mar. 22, 2009
Perfect for a busy day meal. I used canned chicken and added about half a pound of frozen broccoli (tastes good and adds color). Used only two of the three noodle seasoning packets. Added a cup of milk because it was a bit too thick. Because I used the canned chicken, I only cooked it 3 - 4 hours on low. Added noodles during last half hour. My three grandkids ate it up, and so did my husband. A keeper for busy days!

Slow Cooker Chicken Dressing

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2009
This is a great recipe, and you can cook it either in the slow cooker or the oven. I bake the eggs in my cornbread, then add 2 coarsely chopped boiled eggs to the dressing. Freezes well. Be sure to spray the crock with Pam, though - it you're not around to stir occasionally, it tends to stick. Definitely 5 stars, especially if you're a Southerner.

Candied Yams

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2009
Easy, quick, tasty. I didn't change a thing. Made them for my mom and she love them...and she's tough to please.

Satiny Chocolate Glaze

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2009
Absolutely perfect. I just popped everything into the microwave for 45 seconds and stirred till smooth. It doesn't get any better or easier than that.

Chocolate Glaze II

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2009
Perfect topping for a bundt cake. Easy and quick. The only change I made was to melt the butter - I tend to forget to take it out of the fridge in time to wait for it to soften. Will use this frequently.

Chocolate Cherry Cake II

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2009
What an easy cake! Tastes delicious, too. Made it according to the recipe, no changes. The only tip I have is to mix everything except the pie filling together, then gently mix in the pie filling. The first time I made it, the cherries disappeared, though the taste was there. By being extra careful, the cherries hold together and make a better cake, IMO. Topped with Chocolate Glaze II.

Jamie's Cranberry Spinach Salad

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2009
Oh my word. This is so good. I know it doesn't need a five star review, but I just had to write one anyway. It's very versatile - instead of almonds, I've used sunflower seeds, cashew pieces,and pecans (not all at once!). I've used raisins instead of cranberries. I've added mandarin oranges. But it's the dressing that really carries this one over the top. I use 1/2 c red wine vinegar and no cider vinegar, and Splenda instead of sugar. It's absolutely perfect. I mix up a whole recipe, but don't use the dressing until I'm ready to serve it. It holds up very well in the fridge for about 3 days this way, and I've been known to eat it for breakfast. 5 stars, at least.

Taco Seasoning I

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2008
I found myself without the packaged taco seasoning and tried this recipe as a quick fix to avoid a trip to the grocery store. I'm sold! No more packaged stuff for me. I had all the spices on hand, so it's just a matter of throwing it all together. Also, I'm now able to cut back a bit on the hotter spices to accomodate the grandkids when they're visiting. Today, I'm making a large batch so it'll be a staple in my kitchen from now on.

Clone of a Cinnabon

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2008
Oh. My. Goodness. These are so scrumptious! Not good for my diet, but everybody needs a treat sometimes. I followed the directions in the reviews for making this without a bread machine, and they turned out just perfect. I did double the icing, but I'm not sure that's necessary. I think it'd be great just as written in the recipe. Can't wait to share these with my family - I know I'm going to get lots of compliments!

Hamburger Steak with Onions and Gravy

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2008
I don't care for hamburger steak, but I made this for my husband and my parents and they all raved about it. I did make some changes. I sauted the onions then removed them from the pan. Then I browned the hamburger patties in the pan, then transferred them to the oven till they were almost done. I tripled the gravy (didn't use the sherry) and added the onions back to the pan, then put the patties, which were almost done, back in the gravy and simmered on very low heat for about 10 minutes.

Cream Cheese Pound Cake III

Reviewed: Jul. 4, 2008
This cake reminds me so much of the ones my husband's grandmother used to make, and I've made him a happy man by trying this recipe. A note to the thrifty: I used 2 sticks of margarine and 1 stick of butter and my husband can't taste the difference. The only other change I made was to up the amount of vanilla to 1 tablespoon. It is very important to be patient as you mix the butter and cream cheese together - do it slowly, and wait until it is very creamy. I started with a cold oven, and the baking time was about 2 hours. Perfect old-fashioned pound cake!

Blueberry Cream Cheese Pound Cake I

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2008
Excellent mix-based pound cake. I used 2 cups of blueberries, otherwise followed recipe exactly. I did have to bake it quite a bit longer than the recipe called for - about 1 hr 10 min @ 350. I'll be using this recipe again!

Strawberry Spice Loaf

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2008
I made one loaf and a dozen muffins. My husband, who generally is not a fan of sweet breads, loved it, and so did my grandchildren. The only change I made was to add a splash of vanilla (didn't measure) and a cup of chopped pecans. I'm going to try it with pears next time. Thanks for posting!

Peach Pie

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2008
This is a great pie! I used frozen peaches, and followed others' recommendations to use half white and half brown sugar. Also added 1 t cinnamon and 1 T cornstarch. Baked for 15 minutes at 425, then 30 minutes at 350. Then let sit for 15 minutes in the oven after I turned it off. A very simple, easy recipe for an old-fashioned favorite.

Apricot Pork Chops

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2008
I have been making a variation of this recipe for a long time, and it's a hit with my family every time I make it. It is similar to sweet and sour pork, but so much easier, and the sauce is delicious over rice. I use fat-free Catalina dressing and instead of apricot preserves, I use a small can of pineapple tidbits. Sometimes, I add some bell pepper strips. Best of all, I throw it all in the crockpot for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low. Serve it with packaged fried rice (like Rice-A-Roni) and steamed veggies. Fast, easy, cheap, and good!
