Amish Breakfast Casserole

Reviewed: May 28, 2012

In short: good but needs tweaking. In full: I had some breakfast sausage that was too salty so I thought I'd try it in this instead of the bacon. Great choice as it mellowed the sausage just right. When I mixed the ingredients it looked really light on the egg so I added 2 more. Good thing I did, it was just right. I had more than enough cheddar so I used 3 1/4 cups instead of using any swiss. Again, very good. I will try it will some Swiss next time, but not as much as it calls for. Lastly, I only used 1/2 an onion and it was very strong (and I like onion). I'll probably use no more than 1/4 c next time. My husband, who doesn't like casseroles, liked it and said to make it again but with less onion.

Oatmeal Pancakes II

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2011

These were really great! This recipe is going to be my new staple. So easy and really great flavor. I doubled the recipe as others recommended so I could have leftovers. I also hand mixed the batter for more texture. The only ingredients I changed were to sub brown sugar for white and I used half the mount of baking soda. I can see possibilities of fruit variations by adding bananas or blueberries to the batter, maybe some dried cranberries and use orange extract instead of vanilla.

Stuffed Beets

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2010

I was very disappointed by the sharp, bitter taste of the filling. It didn't blend well with the sweetness of the beats. Sadly.

Six Can Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2010

Wow wow wow! This gets top the top rating for easy, affordable, and great taste. Some reviewers loved the flavor as-is and others thought it bland. I took the advice of one who used taco seasoning. I added about 1-1/2 tbs and the flavor was awesome. I had a leftover rotisserie chicken so I pulled the meat to use in the soup. Wouldn't change a thing!

Pineapple Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2010

At the 20 minute mark they weren't even done rising so I did a total of 6 minutes more. They still didn't rise like a typical muffin, but no big deal. After taking them out of the oven they proceeded to sink as they cooled. My husband was willing to give them a try but didn't like them. I didn't' even want to try at that point.

Easy Chicken and Rice

Reviewed: Mar. 7, 2010

Although I changed a few things, this was a great base recipe. First, I used olive oil to brown the chicken. I used the boneless thighs I had in the freezer, which stayed nice and juicy. I used carrots and celery for the veggies and I might even use peas next time. Lastly, I used onion soup mix as others had suggested. It turned out great and so amazingly easy to make. The only thing I might do different would be to use regular rice instead of instant. The rice was a little soggy for my taste. Thanks for this great recipe!

Bread Pudding III

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2009

This is exactly what I envision when I think of bread pudding. A perfect combination of flavors and so easy to make. The only issue I had was in a part of the process. After mixing the bread cubes with the cinnamon, raisins and butter I found that most of the raisins congregated in the middle after I transfered the mixture to the baking dish. A minor issue, but next time I will place half the bread crumbs in the dish, sprinkle half the butter, cinnamon, and raisins then repeat. Also, because I lOVE the taste, I increased the nutmeg to about 1/2 tsp. I plan to experiment with flavors in my next batches by using peaches, apples, cherries, blueberries, or raspberries instead of raisins.

Turkey Pot Pie II

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2008

This was really good. I used store bought pie crust and followed the advice of another reviewer by using 1c evaporated milk rather than the 1/2 c regular milk. I didn't want to make more dirty dishes so I used minced onion instead of fresh. I also added salt, pepper, garlic powder and parsley. Very easy and a great last minute dinner solution.

Pumpkin Fudge

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2008

Chalk it up to user error but I've never had any luck with fudge, and this recipe was no exception. It wouldn't set. I had a pumpkin goo that tasted really good. But I don't think it's any fault of the recipe. I'm just going to stick to EATING fudge.

Carrot and Ginger Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2008

I had a Carrot Ginger soup in a restaurant in Atlanta but since I've moved away I've been trying to find a recipe. This one is awesome! A great blend of flavors and the consistency was very nice. Very easy to make with an immersion blender.

Party Mint Patties

These were ok. I didn't dislike them but I wont be craving them anytime soon. I've made other party mints that had more of a minty flavor without all the butter.

Sugary Orange Peel

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2008

This was time consuming, but well worth the effort. during each of the cooking phases I was able to work on other confections so it really didn't seem to take a lot of work. I included this as part of a candy gift basket and I started getting phone calls asking for the recipe. I followed the directions to the letter and it yielded much more than I expected. The only thing to be aware of is the drying time. It needs about two days or it will become wet and sticky again when piled together. I'm considering adding a few cloves and/or cinnamon to the water during cooking for a spiced orange flavor.

Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes With Mini Marshmallows

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2008

These were SO GOOD!! I made 4 changes: add brown sugar (to taste), add 1 egg white, omit the pepper, and omit the milk (I still used the Buttermilk it called for). The sweetness went all the way through and they held together well. I also chose smaller sized yams so the skins wouldn't fall apart so easily. There were no leftovers from the Christmas dinner table. These will are now a new favorite!

Cinnamon Rock Candy

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2007

This was really easy and yeilded enough for all my holiday gifts in one batch! I went to my local organic grocery store and bought essential oils for the flavoring. Be sure to break the pieces small as they take quite a while to dissolve in your mouth and are not really good for crunching. Also made another batch with green coloring and peppermint flavor. YUM!!
