Make Ahead French Toast

Reviewed: May 20, 2012

Is it possible to ruin this?? I didn't have Texas toast, so I layered 2 slices of whole wheat bread. I didn't have half & half, so I substitued buttermilk. I forgot to add the milk in the mixture for the first few pieces, so they soaked up a lot of the egg, and the remaining pieces were VERY milky. I used a little non-stick spray because it was almost gone. It was FABULOUS!!! No sticking, not soggy--perfect! This will be a weekend staple in our house!

Grilled Chicken and Angel Hair Pasta

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2010

A great base for a wonderful meal!! I was looking for a recipe similar to a dish I had at a restaurant, and this was pretty close! I sauteed garlic in olive oil, cooked chicken in oil, removed cooked chicken, then added about 3 c. broccoli florets, 6 oz. sliced mushrooms, and 1 pint cherry tomatoes to the oil. Cooked these for 5 - 7 minutes, and combined with chicken, pesto & cooked pasta (I used whole wheat pasta). I'll be making this often!!

Four Cheese Margherita Pizza

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2010

WOW!! This was EXACTLY what I was looking for! I was a little worried because I used veggie cheese (a mozzarella/parm blend) instead of the mozzarella and fontina called for. And I used fat-free feta. I was willing to trade off some flavor for less fat & calories--but I didn't have to--it was FANTASTIC! Will make this again and again. Made it with homemade whole wheat pizza crust recipe from allrecipes.com. THANK YOU!!!

Apple Banana Cupcakes

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2009

There aren't enough stars! WOW! I used a little more bananas (about 1 1/2 cups) and apples (4, chopped, not shredded due to previous reviews) because I had a lot of fruit I needed to use up. I topped these with cream cheese frosting I had leftover from making red velvet cupcakes. They are seriously the best muffins I have ever had. And the smell coming from the oven makes you float! THANK YOU BARBARA!!!

Grilled Bacon Jalapeno Wraps

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2009

LOVE THESE! I looked up the recipe because my friend made them and we couldn't stop eating them. He makes them with maple-flavored bacon, and OH MY GOODNESS, the mixture of hot and sweet is amazing. I highly recommend that substitution. And great idea in the other reviews about refrigerating ahead of time to avoid the cream cheese leaking out! Thanks!!

Too Much Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2008

WOW! This is serious chocolate! I took another reviewers tip and used 1/2 cup brewed coffee rather than the warm water, and this cake was everything I hoped--SUPER rich and chocolatey. I topped it with the Satiny Chocolate Glaze, and served with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Heavenly :)

Baked Pork Chops I

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2007

This was great! Just what I was looking for... I made it according to the recipe, except I only baked 35 minutes as other reviewers suggested, then the additional 30 with the gravy on top. They were definately done. Thanks for the recipe--I'll be making it again!!

Cream Corn Like No Other

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2007

WOW! I make a cornbread that uses creamed corn, and I didn't have any cans--so I thought I'd look for an easy recipe with items I had on hand. This is FANTASTIC! The only substitute I had to make was skim milk for whole, but it was still so good. I couldn't stop "testing" it, until I was afraid I wouldn't have enought left for the cornbread! I think I will have to use this in my recipe every time now!! THANK YOU!!

Oven Baked Potato Wedges

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2007

Just what I was looking for! I mixed Parmesan in with the herbed bread crumbs and left the skins on. I had to bake mine twice as long as the directions, though.

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2007

So so SO good! I didn't have lemon, so I used lemon pepper seasoning, and added a little Old Bay. This is a wonderful recipe that I will make again and again!

Mashed Potato Cakes

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2007

Wow! I rushed through this recipe, barely reading any of it except the ingredients--I mixed everything together (except the butter and the hot sauce), substituting dried minced onion flakes for the onion, and added a little Parmesan. THen put the butter in a skillet and read the recipe--oven? Oops! Oh well, I had already started in the skillet, I would just try it. It was great!! They held together perfectly and were light and crispy and melt-in-your-mouth good. This appears to be one of those recipes you can't mess up--even when you're in a super-big hurry! :)

Chocolate Mint Cookies I

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2007

WOW! These are probably the best cookies I've ever made. They melt in your mouth. I would HIGHLY recommend a standing mixer for this one--the dough had my hand mixer smoking! But they were definately worth it!

Creamy Portobello Mushroom Tortellini

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2006

I didn't care for the flavor of this dish. I thought it was bland, and I didn't like the flavor of the mushrooms mixed with the alfredo. I like all of the ingredients, so I was surprised. If I were to make it again, I believe I would prepare the mushrooms as described, but toss pasta with chives and alfredo only and then top with mushrooms.

Chicken Verde Casserole

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2006

WONDERFUL! I cooked my chicken in the crockpot the night before using 2 cups broth & a packet of taco seasoning for about 6 hours on low (from Flylady recipes)--I LOVE the flavor and the chicken practically falls apart and shreds on it's own! We really liked the kick of the salsa verde. I was able to make one pan for our family of 4 and share the other. Will definately make this one again.

Chocolate Cavity Maker Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2006

Wow! I couldn't believe this cake was good enough to not need a glaze, but it definately was! Instead of the coffee liqueur, I used milk, instant coffee granules and a little chocolate syrup. A chocolate lover's dream!
