Maple Bacon Pancake

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2011

Oh man! This is soooo good! I just made this dish for the second time- this time for Christmas morning breakfast with my parents and fiancee. I mix about half of the bacon into the pancake batter, and I baked at 375 for about 18 minutes, then for 5 more after adding the cheese and bacon on top. Amazing dish!!! Served with fresh fruit and a slice or two of bacon, it made a delightful Christmas breakfast.

Asian Tuna Patties

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2011

We liked these a lot! I followed the recipe almost exactly, but added a little bit of fresh ginger with the garlic. The only thing that kept this from 5 stars was that my fiancee and I agreed they would be even more delicous with some sort of dipping sauce. I'm thinking maybe a thick teriyaki-ish sauce. Any suggestions/ideas?

Peanut Butter Noodles

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2011

Woah! These are seriously delicious! Didn't (and wouldn't) change a thing!!! Note- I did leave out the optional hot chili paste, because we're not big fans of big spice.

Potato Chips

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2011

Yum! What a fun treat! After reading some reviews, I tried a few different suggested techniques. Here are my two cents on different options: 1) An oiled plate, as described in the recipe, works best. Just use a potholder so you don't burn your hands! 2) Although I love to cut calories, these taste way better when tossed in a bad with vegetable oil than they do when sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray. 3) Mine took 9-10 minutes per batch, but a partial batch (plate was about half full) were burnt after 7. I've only tried seasoning with salt and seasoned salt so far, but I'll try other ideas next time!

Ultimate Frozen Strawberry Margarita

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2011

My favorite margaritas! I've been meaning to review this for quite some time. After I made these once a couple of years ago, they became my signature contribution to potlucks and parties. I rim my glasses with granulated sugar instead of powdered, though I must say, I haven't actually tried the latter. You just can't go wrong with these!

Turkey and Quinoa Meatloaf

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2011

I didn't make a single change. This was delicious! I made two and froze one for later- just thawed completely in the fridge overnight and baked as usual. For the frozen one, I just whipped up another batch of the glaze right before baking, because I didn't think it would freeze as well without that. It worked wonderfully!

Hearty Garlic Potato Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2011

Fantastic recipe! Just had this for dinner with freshly baked italian herb bread and am still full and happy from it. I, too, refrained from draining the sausage, and it added great flavor. Do your best to crumble the sausage finely, as it will mix and stay suspended in the soup better this way. I never use enough parsley before it goes bad when I buy fresh, so I went with 1/2 tsp of dried, and it worked great. Thanks for this amazing recipe, Beth!

Lemon Green Beans with Walnuts

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2009

This recipe was indeed easy and delicious! I was using the oven for other things, so I toasted the walnuts in the microwave using my mom's method- put the nuts and about a tbsp of butter in a bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir. Cook in 30 second intervals, stirring in between. As they start to get toasted at all, I take the intervals down to about 15 seconds, since they can burn quickly. I loved this recipe and will definitely use again!

Cola Easter Ham

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2009

Woah! This recipe was incredible! I made it with a spiral sliced ham, and we all wanted to have bigger tummies so that we could have slice after slice of this delicious and moist ham!

Annie's Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2008

I too added some mango and used raspberry preserves. This recipe was absolutely amazing! I made it for a work luncheon and everyone just couldn't get enough. I can actually taste it just thinking about it right now. Amazing!

Warm Mushroom Spread

Reviewed: May 11, 2008

This was quite good and went over well with my girlfriends. The only change I made was to mix in some shredded Italian 5 cheese blend. I then sprinkled just a tad on with the parmesan. The only change I may make in the future is to add just a little less sour cream- maybe 1/2 to 3/4 cup? Overall, though, it was very good.

Feta Cheese Foldovers

Reviewed: May 11, 2008

Yummy!!! Thanks to some other reviews, I also made just a couple of changes. I didn't have time to let regular puff pastry thaw, so I used refrigerated crescent roll dough instead. I ended up with some long thin triangles that were surprisingly delicious and very tasty. I used regular feta, but added a bit of garlic powder, dried basil, salt and pepper, and sundried tomatoes (diced very small). I will definitely make these again!!!

Chicken and Mandarin Oranges

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2007

Delicious and refreshing, with just enough spice! At the suggestion of another reviewer, I used green onions instead of regular ones. I added the white parts of the onions as called for in the recipe, added most of the green chives with the oranges, and used the rest as a garnish. I also garnished with toasted almond slivers. This is definitely one of my new favorite dinners!!!

Crunchy Chocolate Eggs

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2007

Yum, yum, yum!!! Though a little messy, these weren't hard to make, and are delicious! My only change was that I added 4 full c. of chocolate chips and roughly doubled the shortening (we tried it with the stated amount, but it was way to thick). I am taking these to the office in the morning, and I can't wait, because the sample I had was amazing!

Skillet Apple Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2007

I was feeling a bit iffy about this one, but was too intrigued not to try it. I'm so glad I did! The spices are strong, but I loved it! I followed other's suggestions and toned down the garlic a little. This is a great recipe though, with very interesting flavors!

Baked Zucchini Chips

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2007

Yum!!! What a great recipe! I love fried veggies. This gives a similar flavor (even better depending on the mood I'm in), but leaves out all the fatty oil. I did as A Cook in Houston suggested and sprayed with cooking spray to make them crispy. It did the trick, and they turned out great! This will go on my favorites list!

Quick Chicken Cordon Bleu

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2007

Great recipe! I was originally planning to bake this in the oven as others had suggested, but at the last minute, I decided to try the microwave. It turned out wonderfully moist and tender! Just one word to the wise: especially if you're serving this to company, don't use colored toothpicks, as some of the color comes off on the chicken. Oops! Who knew?
