Slow Cooker Split Pea Sausage Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2010

Very Good, but if you like a thick Pea Soup, cut water by 1-2 cups. However, soup will thicken slightly by the next day even if made as written. I used ham instead of smoked sausage.

Sorry, didn't care for this one.One reason may be because the size of the potatoes was not specified. I used 8 medium sized red, but that was way too much potato. Also, used half & half. Not so sure that was the problem though.On the other hand,the Potato Leek soup III was very good. I used half the butter and substituted half & half for heavy cream =)

Sangria by the Pros

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2009

Way too much fruit, even without the lime, lemon and cherries, which I did not have on hand. Cut fruit by half. Pretty good, but needs sugar. I will try again, but won't add lemon or lime as I find that tends to add too much bitterness to the Sangria.

Stuffed Peppers

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2009

My husband like these. I found them a little bland. Will add garlic and try to spice it up a bit next time

Beefy Lentil Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2008

Great winter soup. Very hearty. I used fresh mushrooms, but sauteed them in butter before I added them. Kind of reminds me of a kicked up chili.

Apple Crisp II

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2008

Very good, but also very sweet the way it is written. The 2nd time I made it, I added 3-5 cups extra apples and it was outstanding. Also sliced apples VERY thin with mandoline.

Mushroom Barley Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2008

Very good, but I would suggest chopping the mushrooms. Sliced, they were, I hate to say it because it's not like they tasted bad, but they had a somewhat slimey consistency which I did not care for. I would leave everything else the same.

Gravy Baked Pork Chops

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2006

I usually only make recipes with no less than 5 stars. This had 4 which was in my opinion, over rated. The chops were on the dry side and had a "gamey" taste. Not worth eating. Could be because the chops I used were not as thick as were called for in this recipe, but I will not attempt this again. Finished dish ended up in the trash. Will stick with 5 star recipes. Live and learn.
