Hobo Beef and Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2012

I make this but instead to make it more of a "Hobo Soup" I buy 2-3 cans of mixed vegetables and 1 chopped onion and minced garlic and 1-2 cans of chopped tomatoes (not stewed tomatoes they are too sweet) and add the broth or instant bouillon and add the ground beef raw and place all this in a crockpot or stock pot and just like the hobo would do-all in 1 pot. Add the spices according to taste or just rely on the ones in the canned veges. quick and easy and very economical!

Butternut Squash Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2011

I have tried this recipe and others probably experienced that peel and cutting a butternut squash is a pain unless u have a very very sharp knife I found it easier to pierce the squash and place it in the over at 400 degrees until it can be pierced with a fork smoothly then I let it cool and cutting it is a breeze and all you have to do is peel the tought skin off.

Blueberry Cheese Danish

Reviewed: Jun. 30, 2011

I made this and it turned out wonderful. I used some blueberry pie filling and added fresh blueberries on top. I didn't have cottage cheese so I used some ricotta tasted great. For the glaze I used 4oz cream cheese and 1 T. real butter and confection sugar and 1 t. vanilla and put this in zip lock baggie and cut the corner off and drizzled it all over. I will make this again and again!! NO MORE STORE BOUGHT DANISHES FOR ME!! I think next time I will make round danishes.

Makhani Chicken (Indian Butter Chicken)

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2010

I love this recipe and make it all the time the only difference I use chicken quarters or thighs on the bone I remove skin and fat. I pat butter on them and squeeze juice of lemon on them and sprinkle garam masala and curry on it and add slices of onions and minced garlic and in a mixing bowl I mix the plain yogurt a large can of crushed tomatoes and more garam marsala and also I add fresh ginger grated and pour over chicken and about the last half hour i pour a pint of real whip cream over the chicken and instead of chili powder I add apx. 1/4 t. crushed red pepper. and that's it. I drizzle on honey if desired to take away some of the bitter taste so it's very easy and only really one pan and one bowl and I make oven browned potatoes to serve with it....I can never get enough of this....

Frosted Banana Bars

AWSOME! ONLY THING I DID DIFFERENT WAS TO MAKE MY OWN FROSTING (I HATE ANYTHING PROCESSED) I USED 2 CUPS POWDERED SUGAR 1/2 CREAM CHEESE 1/2 STICK OF BUTTER APX. 1/4 C MILK. I MELTED BUTTER AND CREAM CHEESE IN MICROWAVE APX. 45 SECONDS AND ADDED TO THIS THE SUGAR AND THEN ADD MILK TO KEEP IT SLIGHTLY STIFF AND CUT A SMALL CORNOR OFF OF A SANDWICH BAG AND FILLED IT WITH THE FROSTING AND JUST DRIZZLED OR PIPED THE FROSTING ON IN A SQUIGGLY DESIGN IT LOOKS KIND OF FANCY AND DIFFERENT THAN FROSTING JUST SPREADED

Chocolate Zucchini Sheet Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2009

AWSOME CAKE I HAVE BEEN OFFERED MONEY TO MAKE THIS FOR PEOPLE...THE TRICK TO MAKING THE CAKE NOT TO SOGGY IS TO DRAIN THE ZUCCHINI IN A STRAINER AFTER YOU HAVE PROCESSED IT IN THE FOOD CHOPPER I HAVE ALSO SUBED THE MILK IN THE CAKE WITH SOUR CREAM AND USE BUTTER INSTEAD OF OIL AND IT'S JUST AS AWESOME. AND I USE REGULAR WHOLE MILK IN THE FROSTING GREAT WAY TO USE UP THOSE FAT ZUCCHINI'S IN THE GARDEN.

Julia's Hot Cross Buns

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2009

I have to say I made this twice in 2 days and it turned out different both time-better the second time. Excellent both time first time more like bread second time more like buns I made these for my daughter for school for Sts. Day and they were a hit. Instead of candied fruit I used dried cranberries and they turned out great. I also mixed into the powdered sugar apx. 1 T. real butter...they were good either cold or warmed in the microwave for 45 secs. will do again I made them in my bread maker and took them out after the 2nd rise step and rolled into balls and placed on greased cookie sheet and let them rise covered on top of the stove while the oven warmed up for apx. 45 minutes...the second rise in the bread maker made them lighter and more like buns. Will make again, and again
