Italian Pasta Salad I

Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2011

Wow, what an easy, delicious recipe. We all enjoyed the taste of the 2 dressings together. While the pasta was boiling, I prepared and mixed the remaining ingredients and let sit in the fridge. The ingredient amounts are easy to rememeber too. I did add about a cup of sliced black olives and want to add mini pepperoni next time. Thank you for a great recipe.

Peanut Butter, Mayonnaise, and Lettuce Sandwich

Reviewed: Jun. 3, 2007

My absolute, most favorite sandwich. When I was in labor with my 19 year old, the doctor asked what the last thing I had eaten. Of course, it was peanut butter and mayonnaise. He replied that pregnant women eat the strangest things. My DH told him I ate it even when not pregnant. I think it grossed the doc out.

Teriyaki Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 6, 2006

Use low sodium soy sauce and boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Wound up marinating for 3 days and then stir frying. Man, was it good. Not salty at all.

Broccoli Rice Casserole

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2006

Yummy. Halved the recipe and it still made a lot. Used 1 can cream of mushroom, 16 oz broccoli, 1 boil in bag of rice and 8 oz of the cheese. I didn't have celery and didn't feel like chopping an onion but don't think they were missed. Served with Gina's Lemon Pepper Chicken. Nice meal.

Gina's Lemon Pepper Chicken

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2006

I've made this several times. Easy, quick and moist. Took an extra salt shaker and filled with the spices so I always have them on hand.

Lemon Pepper Chicken I

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2006

Easy and yummy. Didn't use the onion powder, personal prefrence. I was going to try out Chicken Parmesan Pasta Toss from this site with the left overs, but there weren't any.

Best Spanish Rice

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2006

I use butter instead of oil to brown the onion and rice. When we have tacos this is the recipe I use. Try stirring a little bit of browned hamburger into leftover rice for lunch the next day. Yum

Buckeye Balls II

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2005

This recipe makes a TON. We found it to be a bit sweet, next time I'll cut back the sugar as others suggested.

My Amish Friend's Caramel Corn

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2005

This was my first try at caramel corn and it was great. I made two batches because the first one seemed to "disappear". I used mixed nuts for the first batch and cashews and peanuts for the second.

Cocktail Meatballs I

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2005

Yummy and easy. I doubled the sauce and used bread crumbs instead of oats. Next time, I'll use less bread crumbs, I didn't take into consideration that bread crumbs are finer than oats. Kept them warm a crock pot.

Juicy Fruit Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2005

I didn't have any grapes and didn't seem to miss them. I cut up 2 small gala apples (skin on)and used a can of mandrian oranges. Chilled overnight for breakfast. The pineapple juice kept the bananas and apples from turning. Very juicy.

Baked Ziti I

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2005

My family enjoyed this, it made a lot so I split it with my neighbor. Next time I'll use 2 smaller pans as suggested. Substituted the sour cream for ricotta and sauted garlic with the hamburger. Very cheesy and creamy. Will be making again. Thanks

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2005

I've made this twice now. Both times I omitted the celery. Used chopped onions from the frozen veggie aisle and pre-cut, pre-cooked potatoes from the produce section. I also subbed chicken paste for bouillon and 1 cup half and half for part of the milk. The first time I used already diced ham. The taste was good, but the potatoes were larger than the ham pieces. The second time, I used a package of kielbasa(sp)sliced into pieces and then each slice halved. We all enjoyed this soup.

Holiday Peppermint Bark

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2004

Wow! Quick, easy and yummy. I let my 7 year old be the "strainer shaker" I was a nice way to let him help without worrying about little fingers being burned

Texas Rice

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2004

My not picky 7 year old and myself were the only ones home for dinner so I decided to give this a try. Cut the recipe in half and subbed garlic salt for the salt. Also used a 14oz can of diced tomatoes. Just right for a kid's taste buds. Next time I'm going to try using leftover rice. Easy and yummy.

Chocolate Eclair Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2004

I've already made this twice! The first batch I used sugar free vanilla pudding and the second time I used sugar free banana. Banana was everyone's favorite. I also used honey graham crackers. I didn't have much luck with the frosting, so I heated a can of milk chocolate frosting for the topping. The longer it sets, the better the crust gets. Yum!

Famous Butter Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2004

My family loved this one. I used chicken tenders, (that's what I had in the freezer)garlic powder instead of salt and 1/2 a stick of butter. Very good.
