Slow Cooker Texas Pulled Pork

Reviewed: May 19, 2012

Made this exactly like the recipe says and found I needed one more hour (total 7 hrs.) on my Rival Crock Pot (mine has four settings 4-6-8-10 hr.) I did it on high "6" and then added one hour. It was very easy to pull apart,but I like a heavier sauce, so we served it at the table with Jack Daniels Original Recipe BBQ sauce and it was super tasty. I'd definitely make it again.

Tender Pheasants

Reviewed: May 10, 2012

I was really pleased with this recipe. I used one smallish pheasant and one large, which fit nicely into my large slow cooker. I only had 8 strips of bacon, only 1/2 cup of sour cream and all the other ingredients and it came out perfectly moist, falling off the bone after 6 hours on medium/high setting (my cooker has 4 settings). Served it with fresh asparagus and wild rice. Yum!

Famous Butter Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2012

So amazingly easy. I like this better than another version that calls for using cream of chicken soup in the recipe. There's no need for the extra fat and calories and the topping (crackers) stay crisp this way.

Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Dog Treats

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2012

I've made this recipe twice, once using a food processor and once with a stand mixer/dough hook. Definitely easier with the stand mixer and I only need a few tablespoons of water to make it workable. Like everyone mentioned, use a full cup of pumpkin. They do not take 40 minutes, more like 30 minutes, but depends on the size of cookie cutter you use. Small bone shaped cutter bakes quicker than a large bone shaped cutter. Doggie loves 'em.

Green Bean Supreme

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2011

This was good and a nice change from the regular green bean casserole, but I thought there was just a tad too much of the soy/Worchestershire taste. If I make it again I would tone that down. By the way, to be perfectly upfront, I did not use water chestnuts at all.

Crispy Rosemary Chicken and Fries

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2011

This turned out really well considering it's limited ingredients. It will not get cripy though, so don't expect that. I used 5 smallish chicken thighs, two small idaho potatoes, cubed and one sweet potato sliced into wedges. I reducted the olive oil to 1/4 cup and used the herbs and spices as written. I did stir it up twice prior to serving and sprinkled about two tablespoons of bread crumbs over the top to give it a little crunch. The chicken is so tender you can cut it with a fork. Good flavor. Great weeknight dish.

Roasted Garlic Cauliflower

Reviewed: Jun. 30, 2011

Fabulous and easy too! I used half a head of cauliflower for just two of us and reduced the other ingredients accordingly. You need to keep an eye on the last few minutes as it can burn quickly.

King Crab Appetizers

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2011

Took the advice of others and used 2 packages of frozen Phyllo cups (15 to a pkg.) which worked perfectly. I followed the rest of the recipe exactly except I used 8 oz. of immitation crab meat. I took this to an outdoor party where they were gone in a flash! Super easy, very tasty.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2011

My husband wants to cook on his own one night per week and tried this out and I have to admit, he did a great job! He only used one package of biscuits, which were more than enough. He took the advice of others and added chicken broth, substituted one can cream of mushroom for one of the cream of chicken soups and omitted the onion. He threw in a couple of celery stalks on a whim. It was even better the next day, when we re-heated it and made fresh biscuits as a side.

Yummy Taco Salad Dip

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2011

This is an old classic, I only tweak it by buying store made guacamole, using 4 Roma tomatoes, chopped olives and only 8 oz. of shredded Mexican style cheese. I end up serving it with a spoon on the side as well as those teeny little spreaders so people can do their own spreading.

Apple Crisp I

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2010

I tossed the cored, sliced apples with about 1/4 cup of white sugar, and a teaspoon each of nutmeg and cinnamon. I didn't have packaged oatmeal, so I used about 1/2 cup quick oats instead. I put half the apples in the dish, half the crumble mix, then the rest of the apples topped by the remaining crumble mix and topped w/maple syrup. Turned out great!

Ali's Greek Tortellini Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2010

Like others I doubled the dressing, but ended up using only a little extra. I tossed 1 cup with the tortellini and refrigerated it, turning it over with a spatula every 30 minutes for about four hours. I also cut way back on the spinach leaves, using about 2/3 bag. Used only four eggs and sliced them thin. Added grape tomatoes, sliced in half. Added a few tablespoons of the dressing at the end, but adding all would have made it swim in dressing. Everyone loved it. We had this as a side dish with crock pot moussaka.

Summer Squash Bread

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2010

I would have given this 5 stars, but the instructions were goofy. I poured it into a 8"x4" loaf pan and it ended up overflowing in the oven. That being said, the resulting loaf was very tasty though I had to add 20 minutes cooking time to get the loaf baked through.

Rhubarb Crisp

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2010

Am I the only one who noticed it calls for 1 tsp. ground cinnamon but doesn't tell you where it goes? Anyway...I didn't know where to add it so I sprinkled it into the flour/salt/soda/margarine mixture. I think this tasted pretty good, a little salty, but add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you will not notice any saltiness.

Mini Meatloaves

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2010

Like others I made only minor adjustments. I added 1/2 lb. of ground veal and one small onion, chopped. I experimented by trying to put some of the mix into large Pop-Over pans and the rest in small 3.5"x6" loaf pans. In both cases I put them on cookie sheets to catch the grease and poured off the excess grease 10 minutes prior to finish. The taste is excellent, but I can understand why the original recipe doesn't call for pans at all. There's alot of grease. For two people the small loaf pan size is perfect. I wouldn't do the pop-over pan again, too small and too much grease.
