Pumpkin Crunch Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2010

This cake was a challenge for me because I am new to baking but the results were good. I pretty much followed the recipe except that I forgot to drizzle the melted butter. I did this at the end and baked it for an extra 5 minutes or so. The texture was a little funky for a cake but all the flavor was there. I will bake this cake again with a few minor changes but all in all a very good recipe.

Linguine with Clam Sauce and Baby Portobello Mushrooms

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2010

I made this pretty much just as the recipe says except reducing the sodium as I am starting to get used to cooking low sodium. There is plenty in the clams and clam juice. I used unsalted butter and instead of bullion I used a quarter cup of chicken stock. I also added a third of a cup of heavy cream for texture. It was a very tasty meal that will make again.

Shrimp Avocado Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2010

Excellent just as the recipe is. I followed it exactly as instructed except I only used about 1/4 of the amount of mayonaise that the recipe called for. The whole family agreed it was a very flavorfull and healthy meal. I will surely make it again.

Kowloon's Chinese Chicken Wings

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2010

I followed this recipe just as it is written and I don't think I could alter it to make it any better. However I did use a generic brand and small party piece wings, I will use a better quality of chicken next time and shop for good size wings. A very good and easy recipe that this cook is sure to use again.

Tacos in Pasta Shells

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009

A very tasty change from your traditional Italian style stuffed shells. I did use taco seasoning and added a can of diced tomatoes with chiles. I put black olives on one quarter for my own taste. You could get quite creative with this simple yet satisfying recipe. The next time I make this I do two, one mild and one for those of us who like it hot.

Guinness® Corned Beef

Reviewed: Mar. 22, 2009

Excellent! I tried this for the first time this weekend for a large gathering. Like some of the other reviewers I also did the old standby just in case. However this is the one that was raved about by all. I used a couple more bottles of the Guinness stout as my brisket was about 6 1/2 pounds. I put a little bit of spicey musturd on top before adding the brown sugar and topped it off with raw onion. Covered with tin foil and didn't touch it for 4 hours. Then added the veggies and covered again, put it back in for another hour and perfect.

Asian-Glazed 'Melt-in-Your-Mouth' Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2009

Delicous, and properly named as this pork absolutely melts in your mouth. I made it useing the serving converter and ended up with much more brine than I actually needed. I put it in the brine and left in the icebox overnight. It came out great and won first place in a family cook-off. Pay special attention to the cooking time as there is a very small window between undercooked and perfect then overcooked.

Bacon Wrapped Smokies

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2009

This recipe is outstanding. I have made them in the oven and on my grill. Be sure to use a grill safe pan or dish though. These delicous little wieners hardly make it off the grill before the pan is empty. A great apitizer to kick off any occasion.

Grape Leaves Aleppo

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2009

this was a very good recipe that I followed exactly as is excluding the olives. It took me much more time to prepare and cook than it did for Robert. I thought there was a little too much lemon juice but the rest of the family disagreed. The few leftover definatly tasted better after sitting in the ice box overnight. I will make these again some weekend and double the quantity.

Penne with Chicken and Pesto

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2009

A "taste good" recipe is what the kids call this. I used a home made pesto that was a little messy, but fun to make. One that I got use of my overpriced food processor. An inexpensive and good tasting dish that would make again.
