Very Easy Mushroom Barley Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2011

Excellent and easy soup! We added extra barley which then required more chicken broth. The pearl barley does the trick...no soaking and it was ready in the hour of simmering. We threw in some shredded rotisserie chicken to get it used up. I didnt' have any celery in the house so I substituted with celery salt and cut back on the regular salt. Will be a definite addition to my soup making rotation!

Sweet Potato Casserole with Bacon

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2011

This is a very nice casserole! We love the sweet, buttery regular SPC, but this is a refreshing change. I did add sauted onion and garlic (small onion and 1 clove). I folded it in after processing the rest of the ingredients together. Thanks for the recipe :)

Creamed Spinach with Onions and Bacon

Reviewed: Jan. 9, 2010

I was searching but could not find a previous recipe so I thought I'd give this one a try. It wasn't till after I started that I realized the recipe called for two packages of spinach and I only had one. I used all ingredients as called for except the one package and I cut back on the milk by 1/4 cup. I added a little nutmeg too. Although the bacon was good....it's not my favorite flavor to go with the creamed spinach. I might try some parmesan next time too. Thanks!

Beef Pinwheels II

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2010

Excellent recipe! After looking at the other review I decided to add some mustard too. My hubby loves grainy brown, so I spread some on the dough before putting the meat mix on. We also sprinkled some mozzarella and cheddar cheese on the meat mix before rolling up the log. We both agree that the dough is wonderful. Held its shape well. I used a older pan....but didn't grease it enough and the pinwheels stuck slightly, but still held their shape. We are thinking this might be good with a beef/mushroom gravy type sauce to put over them. I'm also toying with trying to make individual appetizer size wheels. Thank you for a great Steeler Sunday meal. Was in a half hour before kick off and we were eating mid way into the first quarter.

Toffee Bars

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2010

Like so many others my mother made these every year at Christmas (and sometimes a month later for my birthday). Not sure if this is the exact recipe she used but all the ingredients are the same. We got to the point of not putting nuts on top as many don't care for in our family. I'm adding to my recipe box for future use. Know I'll make at some point in the future. Diet or no diet! They are that good.

Soft Christmas Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2009

OMG! These are the best soft cookies ever! I can see making little finger cookies with this dough and a soft icing to spread inside the layers. Will definitely make these again!

Oven Beef Stew

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2009

Great recipe Ruth! I added a pound of ground venison to the recipe, added savory and oregano to the flour to coat meat in, doubled the basil, used beef broth instead of water added red wine as suggested by others, 3 garlic cloves to roaster, (a glug of beer added by my hubby), and a can of drained diced tomatoes. I cut the beef into bite size pieces and did the same with the veggies and it was cooked to perfection in about an hour and 20 minutes. Will make again, although hubby likes it better without the tomato products. Added a dollop of sour cream on top of mine and it was like a baked potatoe kinda thing. Thanks!

Chuck's Chili

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2009

So we made this again today. This time we had about 2 pounds of ground beef, also added about 1/2 cup mixed chopped yellow and orange pepper we had on hand, an entire 16 oz can of tomato sauce and the seasoning mix was a Tex-Mex Chilli seasoning packet. Also added a small slice of salt pork to the pan while browning the meat - left it whole though cause I didn't want to be eating it through the chili. Turned out super!!!

Scrambled Eggs Done Right

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2009

Agree with those that said go with sour cream. It does make them creamy. And margarine in the pan adds tons of taste.

Marinated Flank Steak

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2009

What a super marinade! Didn't have dijon so I used spicy brown mustard and all I had on hand was balsamic vinegar, but wow! Even the 10 year old thought the flank steak was great. And we only marinated for an hour. Can't wait to see what it is like when we marinate the full six hours! Thanks for the super grilling night!

Army SOS Creamed Ground Beef

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2009

I had never had this before but heard my father and husband refer to it from their days in the Army and Air Force. We made a couple minor modifications, and even my hubby who was glad to get away from military food said it was good enough to make again.

Chicken Breasts with Lime Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2009

We really enjoyed this recipe. Something different to do with Chicken. I did salt and pepper the chicken before coating it as my son would not eat it with the sauce so I didn't want his piece to be too bland. I oven cooked the chicken for 30 minutes at 350, cut the butter down to 4 TABS and added 3 TABS of white wine. I decided I wanted a thicker sauce so I added 1/4 cup of milk and a little cornstarch thickener. I had used what I felt was two small limes worth of juice. It was way tart so I added a squirt of honey to tone it down. This was even better as left overs! Will definitely make again.

Pat's Mushroom Saute

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2009

As someone else suggested we added a shallots to this recipe. It was fantastic! I've always loved sauted mushrooms on top of steak - this is good enough to eat by itself! Thanks Pat for the great recipe!

Garlic Dill New Potatoes

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2009

My mother gave me this recipe years ago. It is basically the same but you cook the potatoes in a little water in the microwave in the casserole you are going to serve them in. Then you drain and put the butter, garlic, dill sauce over them. No pans to wash!

Garlic Bread Mama Rita's Way!

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2008

We did not have any garlic paste so we chopped up garlic cloves very fine and used the same amount called for in the recipe. We thought it was too garlicky - and we LOVE garlic. Will try again with less garlic and maybe some mozzarella and parmesan on top. We really liked the moistness the mayo gave to the bread.

Cream Cheese Squares

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2008

Although these turned out pretty and everyone liked them when the came out of the oven warm, no one cared for them after they were cooled. I also did not like the lines from the cresent roll triangles on the top. If I ever make them again I will try to eliminate them. I'm not sure I ever will though.

Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken II

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2008

Didn't have time to brown the chicken, but will definitely try this the next time as I think it will only add to the flavor of the chicken and the gravy. Took the chicken out of the crock pot when done and added a rue to thicken the sauce and wha-la it was great. Will definitely add to my recipe rotation!

Cake Mix Yeast Rolls

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2008

Read through all of the reviews prior to making the rolls and made sure to use 1/2 of a regular sized box of cake mix. Used bread flour instead of all purpose flour and doubled the yeast used. Family and friends over for dinner loved them. Will make again. Saved other half of the cake mix and made another batch the next weekend. In future might just go ahead and mix the second half with the flour and bag for ease in making another batch.

Grilled Asparagus Salad

Reviewed: May 10, 2008

This was great! Even my husband loved it and he has his own method of grilling asparagus. Did not have any plain parmesan on hand but did have pre-grated 4 cheese italian blend so I threw a couple handfuls of that in. Used honey roasted almonds. Super! Thanks!
