Mayonnaise Biscuits

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2011

I will never, ever tell my family that there's mayo in these biscuits, but YUM! Bonus points just for simplicity, and the taste/texture is very good.

Very good! I did add some cinnamon, and microwaved for 5 minutes before roasting. I would roast for the whole time if it were winter, if only in an effort to help heat this apartment up; however, it's been in the upper 90's here, and 20 minutes of 350 degrees was quite enough.

Juicy Peach Crisp

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2010

This was really yummy! I cut back the white sugar by half, which I think helped the fresh ripe peachiness stand out over the other flavors. I loved the almond extract, but I might use just a tiny bit less next time. As is, it was a very noticeable almond. As a lot of other reviewers suggested, I added some oats in place of some of the flour. In my mind oats and crisp just go together. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for a great recipe, and thank YOU StacyD01 for that tip on peeling!!!

Rosemary Garlic Rub

Reviewed: Aug. 12, 2010

Loved it! I reduced the salt and pepper a little. After putting the rub on boneless pork chops, I let them sit out of the refrigerator for about 45 minutes before grilling. Husband and I both thought they were outstanding. I will try this out on other meats but thought it was especially good with the pork.

Blueberry Lime Mold

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2010

I cheated on this one and used blackberries instead of the blueberries. Just in case anyone is having a dificult time finding the 3 oz. box of jello, it's actually 0.3 oz. I used the sugar free kind, and light cool whip. I poured the mix into the mold before adding the blackberries, and refrigerated it overnight. It came out of the mold beautifully, although I left it in the warm water a little too long(the top melted just a tiny bit). I will definitely use this recipe again.

Rice and Lentil Pilaf

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2010

Yes! This was a first class rice recipe, nice enough that I served it at easter dinner. I made a few small changes. As I was eating,I did notice that a tiny amount of table salt really brought out the flavor of this one. I don't know that I would add salt into the preparations, just keep it handy at the table. I prefer the taste and texture of brown rice, so I subbed that in place of the white rice. I also think that the longer cooking time needed for brown rice is appropriate for lentils. I used chicken broth rather than the veg. broth, since that is what I had on hand. Left out the celery and tomatoes, but added about 8 ounces of diced fresh mushrooms when I combined the broth/rice/barley with the other veggies. Definitely needed longer than 20 minutes, but I just kept checking it as I prepared the other dishes. I would consider serving this as a meatless meal, with a tossed salad and bread.

Cheese Ball III

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2010

Be sure to give this cheese ball enough time in the fridge for the flavors to come together! The texture is a little chunky, as another reviewer mentioned, but I added extra ingredients, so I can't say for sure if the original recipe would be as chunky. I didn't have any fresh onion on hand, so I had to use onion powder, but I added in some diced sundried tomatoes in olive oil. I think this really brought some beautiful color, as well as an extra dimension of smooth/salty flavor to the recipe.

I've been making this sandwich for myself and whoever I could convince to try it since I was a teenager. YUM YUM YUM!!!!! If you love peanut butter and jelly, you MUST try this. Words can't express the deliciousness that is "Grilled Peanut Butter and Jelly".

Basic Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009

I did not love this frosting. The taste was pretty good, but I actually would have preferred more of the cream cheese taste and less of the butter. The biggest problem I had was the frosting LITERALLY ran right off the cake as soon as it reached room temperature. This caused the top layer of cake to slide about three inches to the right. Once re-refrigerated, it was fine and hardened right up. Sorry, this one just wasn't for me.

Korean BBQ Chicken Marinade

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2009

Great marinade! I didn't add as much sugar(less than half)and had to leave out the hot stuff. I also threw in some green onion. I can't decide which way I like better,as a stir-fry, or on the grill. It's awesome both ways!

Steak Burritos

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2009

This is a really versatile recipe! I made tacos instead of burritos, because that's what I had in the house. I had a small roast sitting in my fridge,and I wanted to try something new with it.(tired of the same old pot roast and potatoes!)I sliced it in half horizontally, so ended up with two pretty thick "steaks". I also didn't have the chile peppers, but salsa seemed to work fine. I was worried that it might come out too salty, as some reviewed,so I put one packet of seasoning in at the beginning of cooking, and after shredding it and tasting,I ended up adding another half a pack. Husband liked it alot, so I'll definitely make this again. I'm thinking this might be fun food for a crowd, like a build your own taco kind of thing.

Salsa Chicken

Reviewed: May 20, 2009

It's a good day when both husband AND child like a new recipe. This was a success for me. I had to make my own taco seasoning(chili powder, cumin, garlic and onion powder,salt and paprika).I also used 2% colby/jack, since it was all I had. It came out beautifully. Thanks!

Almost No Fat Banana Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2009

The only change I made was to throw in some walnuts and a small handful of mini chocolate chips. (I love chocolate in banana bread, and you only need a tiny bit to get a big boost of flavor!)I'll try this as muffins next time. Thank you for this nutritious and delicious recipe!

Catch of the Day

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2009

I served this for my husband and myself for Valentines Day. I had some extra limes to use up, so I threw them in, too. I also added fresh oregano and marjoram(what was I thinking on that one?)which really made for a strange taste.I hate to let things go to waste, so I'll often just toss them in with the other ingredients, hoping for the best. I will try this next time as written. I cooked them for about eight minutes per side, which was perfect. Overall, a yummy, fun way to cook fresh fish.

Blonde Brownies I

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2009

Delicious!My husband loves white chocolate, so I subbed white chips for the chocolate chips. I then served with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and a drizzle of hot caramel sauce. I think the regular chocolate chips would have made a better contrast to the vanilla and caramel. I'll try it that way next time. I agree that this is very much like a giant cookie.I cut the brown sugar down to 3/4 cup.(I can't even imagine how sweet it would have been otherwise!)Thanks for a wonderful, restaurant quality dessert.

Marshmallow Popcorn Balls

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2009

So fun to make! I thought I was going to have a huge hassle with this one,but I was so wrong. I needed a last minute treat for my daughters class' Valentines Day party(how could I have forgotten?), and we had almost all the ingredients on hand already.I had hubby air popping the corn while I ran to the store down the street for the rest! We quadrupled the batch to make thirty, and ended up with FIFTY! I added one small box of sugar free mixed fruit jello,that was a great suggestion. They were nice and pink with a fruity taste. I'll experiment with other colors/flavors,possibly seasonally, and also try it without anything extra. Thank you for an easy, fun and delish recipe!

Tasty Lentil Tacos

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009

I wish there was more flavor here. I followed the recipe as written, but I definitely think there is room for improvement.Overall,I'd say it went pretty well. My daugher would not even try it, but my hubby really enjoyed it. I'll make this again, and maybe add a bit more seasoning. Thanks for an interesting and nutritious recipe!

Lime Muffins

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2009

Wow was this batter thick. And the final product was SO dense. Like another reviewer mentioned, they reminded me alot of corn muffins. After tasting one, I decided it needed some more moisture and an extra kick of lime. So, I mixed together about half a cup of powdered sugar with maybe two TBSP lime juice. This made a really thin glaze, which I just spooned onto the tops of the muffins. After sitting for a couple of hours the glaze had dried a bit and whoa! was this exactly what I was looking for! And even better the next day! As is, I had to rate this a three, but with the glaze, a solid four star recipe. I will definitely make these again.

Broccoli with Roasted Red Peppers

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2009

Yum yum! This is a grown-up recipe. I've been searching for a broccoli recipe that didn't need a ton of butter or cheese sauce, and TA-DA! I substituted olive oil for the butter, and added the salt in to the broccoli water rather than with the garlic and peppers. My daughter wouldn't touch the peppers, but loved the broccoli itself. Thanks!

Fluffy Biscuits

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2009

These came out very dense for me, although I wouldn't doubt it if it was my doing. My guests liked them fine enough... I had higher hopes. I might try them again.
