My Chili

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2013
I really like this recipe because it is a great base that is easy to make to your own taste. I use petite diced tomatoes (after trying a batch with the stewed tomatos)and a can of mild chilie beans instead of kidney beans. I adjusted the seasonings to my taste. I cut back on the chili powder and added some Old Bay. I do recommend sauteing the onions first then add the garlic then the meat. And season beef with salt & pepper while it is cooking.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough + Cupcake = The BEST Cupcake. Ever.

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2012
I loved the idea of these cupcakes but they did not come out nearly as well as I had hoped. I think the 20 min cook time was too long. The cookie part seemed dry. I have two boys. One thought they were ok and the other tried one and he was done with them.

Super Easy Cheese Dip

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2012
This tasted really good and it was highly complimented at the party I brought it to. It was nice and creamy. The next time I will use the whole packet of onion soup mix (because what am I going to do with the rest of it anyway?) I may add some chopped waterchestnuts to give it a litte more texture.

Quick and Almost-Professional Buttercream Icing

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2012
The taste was terrific. I used salted butter. After creaming the butter and vanilla, I added half the powdered sugar and half the milk, mixed for a minute then the other half powdered sugar and milk and mixed for another minute. If anything, I could have added maybe another half TBSP milk but this worked well piped on cupcakes. I'll use this recipe again.

Easy Cheese Ball II

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2012
I love cheese balls but this one just didnt' do it for me. I made it one evening and refrigerated it over night. It never really softened up and it seemed a bit dry. A little texture may have helped like some choppped onions or water chestnuts.

Zucchini Patties

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2012
Very tasty. I used 1/4C flour + 1/4C Panko and cooked the patties in 1 Tbsp oil oil + 1 Tbls butter. When I make these the next time I will add 1/2 tsp Old Bay for a little kick.

Ranch Oyster Crackers

Reviewed: Aug. 12, 2011
We loved this. Dried dill can be strong so I used 1/4 tsp dill and 1/4 tsp italian seasoning. I also used a little more than 1/4 C oil.

Fruity Couscous Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2011
This was different and I liked it. I used dates instead of apricots because that is what I could find. I served it for 6 adults who had never had couscous. Three like it a lot and three did not care for it.

Shrimp Scampi V

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2011
This is good, especially if you like garlic. My 12 y-o liked it which says a lot for it. The sauce seemed thin so I whisked in a couple teaspoons of flour while cooking and I liked it better that way. I also added 1/4 tsp Old Bay.

Buttermilk Pancakes I

Bacon for the Family or a Crowd

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2011
Baked for 15 min then had to turn over for another 5 minutes to get somewhat crispy bacon. I found this to be an easier way to make a lot of bacon.

German Sweet Chocolate Cake I

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2011
My 12 year old son made this cake twice for a class project. There are a lot of steps but it makes a wonderful cake. We used a 9x13" pan and had to bake it for 50 min at 350 degrees. At 30 min it was still a pool of yummy chocolate.

Old German Honey Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2011
These just weren't my cup of tea. They baked nicely and were very easy to make. I just don't think I liked the ginger taste but maybe my ginger was old.

Vegetable Beef Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2011
This recipe worked out great. I wish there was a little more liquid to it but it was just the right thickness. Easy to adjust to your own taste. I added sauted leeks and garlic. Fantastic.

Mushroom Sauce Baked Pork Chops

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2011
Very tasty. Made it my own by slicing onion in rings instead of chopped. Added paprika to salt, pepper, garlic rub. In the soup mixture I doubled the soup, added a sprinkle of cayane pepper and added about 1/4 C heavy cream. In a baking dish I put the cooked onion rings, then chops, then soup mix and cooked covered for 30 mins. Served over rice. Good and satisfying.

Beefy Mushroom Barley Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2010
This was good. It just seemed a little thin like it was missing something. I forgot I was out of sour cream so maybe that would have helped. On the advice of my butcher I used a small chuck roast that I cut into small pieces and the meat was tender and delicious.

Butter Icing for Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2010
Very tasty icing. It hardened rather quickly so you need to be ready to spread it on. It can also be warmed in the microwave for a few seconds to help the spread-ability.
