Awesome and Easy Creamy Corn Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2011

As I sit here again, making this recipe for the I don't know what number Thanksgiving's this has been, I just had to leave a review finally. My whole family asks for this every year. It truly has become a family favorite and will be for all our Thanksgivings to come. Thank you for a great recipe. I always double it and it's still never enough :)

Best Marinara Sauce Yet

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2011

I love this basic Marinara Sauce. The only thing I do differently is I simmer whole garlic cloves in some olive oil until nicely browned. I then add the simmered garlic to the tomatoes as I blend them. I love the flavor of nice roasted garlic in my sauce and this sauce is probably the best marinara I ever had. Fantastic recipe!

Grilled Sea Bass

Reviewed: Jul. 2, 2011

I consider myself a pretty good cook. However, though I love fish, I'm not the greatest fish cooker. Until this recipe :) Thank you. My Sea Bass came out amazing. My son couldn't stop talking about how good it was. I made it exactly as posted, not changing a thing. Great recipe.

Tomato Vodka Sauce

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2009

I am very impressed by this simple, but delicious recipe for vodka sauce. I added slight changes like added the vodka when the oinons were just transparent and simmered the vodka and tomatoes (I used diced tomatoes with onion and garlic, but used a hand blender to chop them down). I added a little more heavy cream then recommended because we like a little more saucy pasta and some dried basil. The sauce is very good and I will make it again for sure.

Alyson's Broccoli Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2007

This recipe has become one of the most requested recipe's I make. I follow the recipe to the "T" however, I use Craisins instead of raisins (due to the number of people who just detest raisins) and I use "light" mayo, splenda, and turkey bacon (bake the bacon in the oven to get nice and crisp) to cut down on the fat grams, and it still comes out just as good as the traditional version.

Salsa Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2007

This recipe was fantastic! I really didn't think I was going to be as crazy for this as I was, but boy, was I wrong. I made it exactly at the recipe calls, but added sliced avacado on top of each breast, after it was cooked. YUM, YUM! Thank you for a great recipe.

Caramelized Baked Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2006

I've been craving this chicken since I ate it. I'm making it again tonight. This recipe was excellent. Only problem I had was that the sauce was very thin. I added some cornstarch to the liquid and it thickened up nicely. I took some of the hot liquid out of the pan, mixed in some cornstarch to the liquid I removed and put it back in again. Yum, Yum....

Mini Meatloaves

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2005

I wanted to try a new Meatloaf recipe other then my Mom's. I saw this recipe, and it was close to hers, but a little different (quick oats, sauce, no onion). So, I made it exactly as the recipe called for, BUT added one large chopped onion (meatloaf isn't meatloaf without onion). I found a NEW recipe. This meatloaf recipe is BETTER then Moms. My kids were licking their plates. I can't get the taste out of my mouth. It was fantastic. I already sent the recipe to my sister in law, to feed to her finicky kids. I think they'll even like it. I don't think anyone who tries this would be disappointed.

Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2001

I really enjoyed these and so did my vegitarian daughter. It wasn't quite a winner with my husband, though texture of food is a big issue with him. He said it was too mushy. I really enjoyed the flavors and I know I will make this again, when Daddy is working. :)

Artichoke Spinach Lasagna

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2001

I really enjoyed this recipe, though I made some changes. I used the no boil lasagna noodles and they worked just fine. I also added a layer over the spinach and artichoke layer, of a ricotta mixture (ricotta cheese, 1 egg, mozzerella cheese, parsley some salt & pepper)--sorry, I don't have the exact measurements, I tend to cook by taste and visual appearance. I think this added layer of cheeses gave the dish more substance. My vegitarian daughter just loved it, and so did her meat eating brother. Very yummy and consider this recipe a keeper.

White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2001

What can I say? I've now found a family tradition that I will make for Thanksgiving and Christmas forever! This recipe is delicious. Like others, I used vanilla extract instead of the brandy and the cookies are heavenly. My whole family and my whole extended family couldn't get enough of these cookies. I was so proud of them, I made up cookie gifts for my neighbors :) I truly believe this cookie is one fo the best cookies I ever tasted. I used dried sweetened cranberries. I couldn't find any dried cranberries that weren't sweetned (don't really know for sure if there is such a thing anyway), but I will make sure I get the same kind of cranberries next time as well. I don't want to change a thing. Thank you, for this recipe. I can't give enough praises for it..

Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2000

I was very skeptical before I baked these cookies. However, my kids wanted to bake (9 year old and 6 year old), and I only had some of the ingredients for some of the recipes. This recipe was easy and I surely had all the ingredients. I couldn't imagine how they would come out. The kids loved making them, and to my surprise, they are very good :) The only thing I noticed was if I removed them from the cookie sheet to soon, they broke up. So let them cool before you remove them from the cookie sheet. If you have kids who like to bake, this one is a winner!
