Blackberry BBQ Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2012

This was for pulled pork. I didn't have blackberry preserves but I used cherry (so I guess... Cherry BBQ Sauce!) but other than that I followed the recipe.

Like this recipe needs another glowing review, but it really is perfect! I scaled it up to 12 servings, added about 1.5 teaspoon of dried parsley and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce (both in while the veggies were boiling). I added some carrots (2 chopped) and corn (about a cup) and some white American cheese at the end (3 slices) that I needed to use up. It was hard to cut myself off!

Tex Mex Black Bean Dip

Reviewed: Jul. 1, 2011

This is good! I only had 1/4 cup of onion and added about 1/4 cup of yellow bell pepper that needed to be used. I used hot salsa instead of the tomatoes and picante sauce and pepperjack for the cheese. Add a big dollup of sour cream and eat it with blue corn tortilla chips.

Homemade Flour Tortillas

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2011

I usually don't post a review when I don't follow the recipe exactly but this one still turned out great! I used the Smart Balance butter that has olive oil in it in place of the lard and half whole wheat flour. They still turned out great. I scaled it down because I was worried about how well they would keep but they were still soft after a week and gone after that!

Best Spanish Rice

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2010

This was soooo easy! Mine turned out fine with the amount of salsa listed, but if yours is super chunky (i.e. has less liquid) you might need more. I agree that the 2 T of onion is pointless - you'll need to add much more to notice it. We used water instead of chicken broth to accommodate the resident vegetarians, and I added some garlic salt.

Greek Penne and Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2010

This was good! I used half the amount of pasta and artichokes. I didn't have the specified herbs so I used some fresh basil.

Spaghetti Carbonara II

Reviewed: May 11, 2010

Fantastic. I love everyone's suggestions. The only one I have to add is instead of adding more oil when/if your pasta dries out - just save some of the pasta water and use that. There's enough fat going on in this recipe already!

Avocado, Tomato and Mango Salsa

Reviewed: May 10, 2010

The only changes I make are to use only 1/2 of an avocado, use grape or cherry tomatoes, and skip the oil. YUM. I'll be eating this all summer.

Peanut Butter Cookies VI

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2007

This recipe really did not turn out right for me. I cooked them for 6-7 minutes and they still kept burning. They also lacked flavor and were really fluffy like a muffin.

Beer Margaritas

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2007

The recipe is good as is but several of the variations already mentioned have proved delicious as well- Try a can of 7-Up instead of the water, and add a little Triple Sec to the mix for a true margarita flavor. You can't go wrong with these! We call them Beer-garitas.

Lemon Garlic Tilapia

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2007

I give this 5 stars for how easy the recipe is. I am just learning how to cook fish, and this was great for a beginner. It tastes great as well, a perfect basic recipe. I did follow another reviewer's advice and used a higher cooking temp for less time (400 degrees @ 12 mins), and added crushed red peppers to the butter.

Microwave Corn on the Cob

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2007

Works like a charm! I can't even tell the difference between this and boiled corn. Since I normally only cook for myself and sometimes one or two other people, this makes more sense than boiling the water and doing it the traditional way.

Savory Grilled Corn

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2007

I was in a hurry so I used this recipe on microwaved corn on the rob rather than roasting it. I just used the mayonnaise mixture as a spread. It was good - the combination of spices are an interesting flavor. I think next time I will try mixing them with butter or margarine rather than mayonnaise, though.

Cheese Biscuits I

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2006

This recipe is great but its basically the same as the one given on the Betty Crocker web site - http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/recipe.aspx?recipeId=36083. The only difference is the parsley which I leave out anyway.

Quick and Easy Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2006

This soup was delicious. I modified it only slightly, using all canned veggies except fresh carrots & celery. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken. As opposed to Creole seasoning, I used garlic and an Italian seasoning blend because I don't like spicy food very much. It was excellent last night and I am sure it will be better when I have the leftovers this evening!

Beer Cheese Soup III

Reviewed: Aug. 2, 2006

I made this and it was pretty good the first day, but the vegetables in the leftover soup were a little soggy the next day. I used two small packages of frozen vegetables instead of the carrots and mix listed in the recipe. I also added an extra cup of chicken broth to make up for the extra veggies.

Salsa Chicken Rice Casserole

Reviewed: Aug. 2, 2006

I really enjoyed this recipe, but I made a few changes - I halved it because I only cook for myself, and whatever friends come over to steal leftovers. I used chopped green pepper and sliced mushrooms in addition to onion. I used medium salsa, brown rice, and chicken that I grilled on my George Foreman grill. I used the Mexican blend cheese and also added cilantro, and it turned out terrific! I'll be putting this in tortillas for lunch tomorrow.
