Just got these out of the oven and they are delicious! The cookie is buttery and compliments the jam perfectly. I used rasberry preserves and am getting ready to make a second batch with apricot preserves. I did add a little vanilla to them and also used a baggie to pipe the jam into the thumbprints like another reviewer suggested. Easy cookies to whip up and wonderful taste! These will be a part of our annual Christmas cookie spread!

Baby Back Ribs

Reviewed: May 31, 2009

This was the first time I ever made ribs. This recipe was so simple and worth the time to cook them slowly for tenderness. I did not marinade my ribs in barbeque sauce for 8 hours, like suggested due to time. I simply grilled the ribs first for about 20 minutes total over low heat. Then I made the foil packs and put a bit of sauce over the ribs before wrapping them up. Then popped into a 275* oven for 2 hours. They were falling off the bone tender. Delicious!

Spinach Bars

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2009

The key to making this dish firm and done in 30 minutes is to make sure you drain the spinach very well. I defrosted my 16 oz. bag of spinach for 4 minutes in the microwave and then put it in a colonder and pressed with the back of a big spoon until most of the water was out. I also cut the cheese to 2 cups and added 1 cup feta. Delicious! My family all loved it.

French Onion Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2009

I used minute rice, as suggested by another rater, and also sauted my veggies with the ground beef, then drained the grease. I sprinkled a little cheese on top and baked for 30 minutes. It was fast, easy and my family really liked it.

French Fry Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2009

Overall, this recipe was very good. In fact it was better the next day as left- overs. I wasn't sure if the fries would be soggy the next day, and they were soft. But as it turned out, the softer texture was better and the flavors all melded together. I may try this next time with shredded potatoes (the hashed brown type in the refridgerated section).

My Best Clam Chowder

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2008

This is really great clam chowder. I took someone's suggestion and added bacon. The vinegar gives it such a good flavor. Warning: It makes enough to feed an army. Next time I will cut the recipe in half.

Chocolate Mice

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2008

Very time consuming, but worth it! I used Teddy Grahams and didn't have many left over to roll the mice in, so I mixed a packet of hot chocolate mix with the left over crumbs. It gave the mice a nice color. I also rolled them in coconut, but that didn't look very good, although yummy. They are very rich. I liked some of the other suggestions of cutting down on some of the chocolate. I doubled my batch and made some into round truffles and covered them w/sprinkles or coconut.

Spicy Grilled Shrimp

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2008

I am normally a "follow the recipe exactly" person, but I didn't have cayenne or lemons for this recipe. I put a dash of red pepper flakes in the marinade and all of the other ingredients, minus the lemon juice. I let my pound of prawns marinade for about 40 minutes and then squeezed the juice of a lime over them just before grilling. Wow, they were fabulous, simple and quick. I paired it with filet minon and my husband said it was the best meal I have ever cooked!
