Cream Cheese Pound Cake III

Reviewed: Jul. 27, 2009

This is my go-to basic pound cake recipe. The exchange of cream cheese for some of the butter in other recipes gives it a nice, subtly differnt flavor.

Cucumber Avocado Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2009

This sounded like a yummy idea, andI made it as written, but for me, there was way too much dill. Might try again with less.

Salisbury Steak Deluxe

Reviewed: May 21, 2008

This was a nice variation on my mom's Salisbury Steak. We skipped on the horseradish, but even without it, it was a nice, flavorful main dish, served with mashed potatoes and green beans.

Tried this with another reviewer's suggestion of using part red wine in place of the red wine vinegar. I can't say it lacked flavor... but in fact it was almost too potent. Might have been better over rice to give the dish more texture.

Spinach and Pasta Shells

Reviewed: May 13, 2008

Okay. Even with fresh parm grated over top, this dish was very bland. I can see why it would be good for a child, but my palate wants more flavor.

Apple Filled Chicken in Pecan Creme Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2008

I really liked this recipe. We didn't have white wine, so I subsituted apple juice, and my husband missed my note to reduce the sugar, so the sauce was definitely sweet, but still quite good. I think with the wine, and a little less sugar this would be great. Too much work to put it in my regular rotation, but a great every-now-and-then, special occasion recipe! Thanks!

Kickin' Collard Greens

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2008

These were great for my first time making greens, but I found they would have needed to simmer much longer than 45 mins. to become tender. They were still pretty chewy. Easily, fixed, though, so still 4 stars!

Guacamole

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2008

Taste-wise, this was great, but I'd like a recipe that wouldn't turn brown after just one day in the fridge. Wonderful the first day, though!

Baked Honey Mustard Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2008

An okay basic recipe. Prepard as directed, it turned out very dry. I'll try it again, maybe with a higher temp and shorter cooking time.

Fettuccine with Sweet Pepper-Cayenne Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2008

This has been added to the rotation at my house! The only changes I made were to chop the peppers into medium-size pieces rather than julienne. That way you get more bites with pepper in them. Also added a little more cayenne pepper, as we like it spicy, and I usually end up using a good bit more cheese than called for. I also took another user's advice last time and added the sour cream at the last minute and used a little less chicken broth. This did seem to give the sauce a creamier taste and texture, so I'll do that from now on. Thanks for a great recipe!

Bob's Stuffed Banana Peppers

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2008

This was a great recipe, tase-wise, but I agree with other reviewers that it makes entirely too much meat mixture for 8 peppers. Also, I think boiling the peppers for 5 minutes really cut down too much on their flavor. I'll skip that next time. Otherwise, excellent, yummy recipe. Thanks, Bob!

Apple Crisp III

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2008

This was delicious. My only complaint was that it took about an extra 10-15 minutes for the crust to cook completely.

Bum's Lunch

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2008

I thought this would be a good, easy, and flavorful meal with extra seasonings as suggested by other reviewers. I was wrong. After cooking for closer to an hour, the onions were still quite crispy (Which I liked) but the potatoes were nowhere near tender. And the meat was extremely tough, even though I beat it thin. I think this might be a much better cook-over-the-campfire recipe than one to cook in an oven.

Chicken with Lime Butter

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2008

It could have been my really old oven, but although we followed the specified cooking time and temp. this was just way too dry. Might try again sometime on lower temperature.

Easy Taco Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2008

Made this for dinner last night. Used taco seasoning per package directions instead of chili powder and extra salsa instead of mayo. Topped with sour cream when serving. It was great! My husband went back for seconds, and he always teases that I can't cook! =)

Best Chicken Ever

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2008

I made this when my family came over to my new home for the first time, so I really wanted to make a good impression. No worries! They loved it! I took someone's suggestion and added ranch mix to the sour cream for a little extra flavor and it was awesome. To play devil's advocate, the meat was ever so slighty drier than I'd like, so next time I'll cook it at a slightly lower temp.
