Rhubarb Cake I

Reviewed: May 12, 2012

Took advice of other reviewers and used 3 cups of rhubarb. Great flavor. Only rated three-stars because it had more or a bread-pudding consistency than cake-like.

Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2011

Very tasty. Will use this recipe again. Only bad thing is they didn't freeze up well - crumbly.

I borrowed this idea for some extra ham... fried the onion, placed ham on top, and poured some leftover sloppy jo mixture (which is about the same as other ingredients, minus the vinegar and worceshershire). Served with mashed potatoes and the whole family loved it!

Swiss Potato Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2011

After reading other reviews, I increased to 1/2 medium onion, 3 cups potatoes, and substituted 1 can chicken broth & 1 bouillon cube (instead of 1 c water & 3 bouillon cubes). Also added 2 c frozen corn. This hit the spot on a cold Nebraska day!

Fresh Pear Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2011

I used 1 1/2 c finely chopped pears. Edited to 3 tsp. cinnamon, 2 T milk instead of water, only 1/2 c sugar, small box of instant sugar-free pudding mix. The batter seemed quite thick, but baked up into a tasty bread.

Canned Apple Pie Filling

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2011

I'm not overly impressed. I think I'll stick with canning chunky cinnamon applesauce, and freezing my apple pies.

Mom's Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2011

I got brave, and used 3/4 c applesauce & 1/4 c canola oil. Also used 1 T lemon juice instead of vanilla (just because it seemed like the zucchini bread thing to do). Used this advice from other reviewers: cut back to 2 c sugar; increased to 3 c zucchini (because I had plenty). Turned out great, and will definately make again.

Rhubarb Sauce II

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2011

Substituted 1/2 of the rhubarb with frozen strawberries (because I was short on rhubarb). Delicious recipe. So good, I was cleaning out the skillet with a piece of bread.

Jam Muffins

Reviewed: May 26, 2011

Great way to use up my extra fruit jam from last season! Thx. I cut sugar to 1/3 c, and baked at 350 degrees. Almost a cornbread texture.

Colleen's Slow Cooker Jambalaya

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2011

I made on stovetop because of time, and made a few adjustments. Seasoned cubed chicken with salt and chayenne and cooked in heavy skillet, removed. Sauted onion, pepper, & 2 cloves minced garlic for a couple minutes, then put all ingredients together in same heavy skillet (minus additional cayenne and cajun because it was spicy enough for my taste), and simmered on low for about 90 minutes.

Banana Oat Bars

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2011

I think that "baked oatmeal" would be a better description. I used various advice from other readers: 1/4 c white sugar & 1/4 c brown sugar; 1 1/2 tsp baking powder; 1 whole egg; added 2 scoops chocolate protein powder. I liked them, but not a family fav.

Granola

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2011

No dates, so used total 1 c mashed bananas. Also used agave nectar instead of sugar. Not terribly flavorful - maybe needs a tsp salt. Also a bit chewy. Not my favorite granola recipe, but it used up some overripe bananas in a new way.

Monkey Bread I

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2011

Not bad for a quick recipe, but not rich and spectacular like I think of cheesecake.

Crispy Fried Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2011

I did use a lot less oil. I don't regularl fry food because of the smell it leaves in the house. But it was delicious. Even the kids said it was better than KFC.

Absolute Best Liver and Onions

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2011

This may be a a four or five star recipe, but my family would be generous to give one star. Did not turn them into converts; I remember liking liver as a child, but did not like this. I did, however, put the onions on bread and that was quite tasty.
