Def Corn 5

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2010

Cheesy, a bit hot and so so easy.

Overnight Blueberry French Toast

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2010

This wasn't awful, but it was too sweet, too cheesy (which until this moment I hadn't thought possible) and there wasn't enough fruit for my liking. Next time I'll cut down the sugar/syrup and cheese and up the berries.

Spinach Quiche

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2010

Quiche is a standby meal at my house and this one is a good one. I like to mix my quiche about ten minutes into cooking to avoid burnt edges with a unset center.

The Best Chili

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2010

My recipe, so I'm a bit biased I suppose. Great flavor, and oh-so meaty!

Pumpkin Cookies VII

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2010

I usually hesitate to make anything with shortening, but this cookie recipe is wonderful. The cookies are more like little cakes, but maintain their shape well. They are time consuming, but every year this are requested for our family get-togethers. They are excellent.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies I

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2010

Great recipe, be careful not to over mix the dough as it will make the cookies too dry and crumbly.

Laurie's Stuffed Peppers

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009

So yummy! I had some leftover taco seasoned ground turkey, so I used that in place of the hamburger and sausage. A great way to use up leftovers and turn it into a whole new meal!

Mexican Style Shredded Pork

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2009

This was OK, however, I found the sauce to be a little too watery and my pork kind of tough. I followed the recipe exactly, but it wasn't what I was looking for.

Streusel Topped Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2009

Love these! The recipe doesn't specify what percent milk to use, and I only had 1% which worked well. I also didn't have a lemon on hand so I used orange zest which turned out very nicely. And since I can't get enough fruit, ever, I used a full 2 cups (the entire carton) of blueberries. Yum!

Beth's Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Reviewed: Jun. 29, 2009

I gave this a four star rating because there are a few tweaks that will greatly improve these. First, just use a cup of butter and omit the shortening for a chewy but cooked texture. Also, I'm going to omit the white sugar and maybe even cut back to 3/4 c of brown sugar because they are just too sweet. And finally, maybe at a pinch (1/8 tsp) of nutmeg. Otherwise very, very good base recipe.

Thai Coconut Chicken

Reviewed: May 26, 2009

I made this as directed and found that it didn't have the flavor I craved. My humble opinion is that this recipe needs to up the curry powder, add ginger, fresh garlic and maybe some red chili powder if you like heat (which I like I little). Not a terrible dish, but a bit too bland for me.

No Sugar Added Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2009

I was tired of banana breads and muffins and decided to try these out. They're OK...like most reviewers said, more like scones than cookies but tasty enough. Nothing spectacular though...

Creamy Mushroom Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 15, 2009

The flavor of this soup is excellent. I followed the recipe exactly except one minor change, which was only to use the entire package of both the shitakes and the portabellos. I chopped one cup of each, then pureed the rest in a food processor.

Baked Honey Mustard Chicken

Just made this last night, very easy and tasty. Would be great for salads or sandwiches...I am thinking of trying this on the grill in the summertime...

Spicy Peach-Glazed Pork Chops

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2009

I followed the directions exactly and these were a little dry, and the sauce was runny, not glazey. The flavor was pretty good, though. Not sure how to amend this to make it work for me...

Peanut Butter Noodles

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2009

This recipe was a huge hit as written. My husband asks me to make it constantly... After making it quite a few times, I added some cooked chicken chunks and sliced bell peppers to add nutrition and color.

Baked Kale Chips

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2009

Very tasty, not one left at the get-together I made these for! They're best when very crispy, I was a little scared to overcook them b/c of other reviews and my first batch wasn't great. When they're not done enough, they're a little bitter but as long as they get crisp enough they're great! I make them all the time when I'm craving a salty snack.
