Marshmallow Popcorn Balls

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2010

So this is how I made them. I used 3 bags or microwave popcorn & 1 16 OZ bag of Mini Marshmallows. I put the marshmallows into a microwave safe bowl along with 2 TBS of water. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir, repeat 5 times (for a total of 2 1/2 minutes). I added food coloring to my melted marshmallows, mixed it in and then dumped it onto my popcorn (that I had in a VERY large bowl. I put on some disposable gloves and then greased my hands up with Crisco. I folded the popcorn and marshmallow togehter, formed it into balls (I got 20) and I stuck popsicle sticks in them (kids love anything on a stick). I let them cool on wax paper then wrapped them up in some plastic wrap. Came out great! Kids loved them!! Thanks for the idea!

Pumpkin Pecan White Chocolate Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2009

I LOVED these!!! I used light-brown sugar instead of the called for dark, Crisco (butter flavored) and I turned the temp. up to 350 like someone else suggested. I found a 9 minute bake time for smaller cookies and 13 minutes for a bit larger ones the best. I let them cool on the pan for about 5 minutes then transfered to a wire rack where they didn't stay very long as my hubby and kids quickly gobbled them up!! Thanks for the great recipe!! The only thing I'll do different is double or tripple the recipe next time!!

Pumpkin Seeds with Cinnamon and Salt

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2009

I have never had pumpkin seeds before so I figured I'd give it a whirl this year. So the kids and I made these. I personally thought they were just okay and probably won't eat them (I just think I'm not a pumpkin seed fan is all) but my kids LOVED them!!! I gave this recipe 4 stars!! Thanks!!

Chicken Pot Pie with Cheddar Crust

Reviewed: May 5, 2009

I had leftover turkey and veggies and needed a nice crust recipe. I found this and thought it looked pretty good. It was pretty easy to make the crust and we all enjoyed it! I didn't have any butter in the house so I used some I can't believe it's not butter in the plastic tub and it still seemed to turn out fine. Thanks!

This was THE BEST!!!!!!!!!! I did make a few changes. Instead of the butter I used 1/3 Cup of Pure Pumpkin Puree. I also used 1 Cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 Cup White flout (just to add some more nutrion to it). I added 1/2 Cup of walnuts. Mmmmmmmmm!! It is now going to replace my old recipe. My husband also rated them a 10!!! Thanks!!

Garlic Red Potatoes

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2008

Awesome!!!!!! What more can I say!! I loved them! My whole family loved them!! Instead of butter I used 1/4 cup of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray, which has no calories or fat (I'm sure if you ate the whole 1/4 by yourself then it would)instead of the butter but did the rest the same. I did cook them in the microwave first for 20 minutes then I finished them off in the oven with the meat. They came out great. I'm gonna make these for Thanksgiving! Thanks again!!

Lighter Banana Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2008

I LOVED IT!!! I used 4 very ripe bananas (just because that's what I had)and then followed the directions (I did use whole wheat flour instead of the all purpose). I put in 1/2 cup of walnuts and my daughter was snacking on some Ocean Spray Crasins so we threw in 1/2 Cup of them too! They came out EXCELLENT!! They weren't dry or chewy. Very good! I am always looking for healthy, portable breakfast ideas for my 5 year old. She gets on the school bus at 7am and eats breakfast on the bus, so these are great!! I put about 1/4 cup into each baking cup and I got 12 good-sized muffins. Thanks!!

Leftover Chicken a la King

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2008

Very good! A great way to use up my leftover chicken! I added the curry, chili powder, paparika and ground cumin that someone else mentioned and it was really great!! I did add 1 TBS of cornstarch instead of 2 TSP (it's only 1 TSP more) it seemed to help thicken it up better. I served it over rice but I think it would be great over potatoes too!! Thanks!!

Best Spinach Dip Ever

Reviewed: May 18, 2008

This really is THE BEST SPINACH DIP EVER!!! I made it the night before my party and they ate it all. It was so easy and good. I too used the whole package of spinach. I found the Knor Dry Leek Soup mix in the ethnic foods asile. I actually found it on accident which worked out great 'cause when I went to look for it where I thought it would be (in the soup aisle) it wasn't there. Again great!!! Thanks!!!

Jumbo Breakfast Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2008

These cookied were great!! I have been trying to find something healthy for my soon to be 5 year old to take for breakfast with her on the bus (she gets on at 7am this fall). The kids and husband loved them! I too used puffed rice cereal as I had no oat rings in the house. I also used 1 Cup of applesauce in place of the 1 Cup of butter and I used 1/2 Cup white sugar and 1/2 Cup of Splenda instead of the full 1 Cup called for. They turned out great! I only got 15 cookies though so I guess next time I'll try to make them a bit smaller. Over all very nice cookie and a great breakfast for hungry kids.

Easy Fudge Brownies

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2008

These were great! I thought that they were simple and quick to make. Instead of using a double boiler I just melted the shortening in the microwave. I also used only half the amount called for and replaced the other half with some pumpkin puree. They cooked for 18 minutes and came out beautiful. 2 thumbs up from my family. I will for sure make them again!!!

Chocolate Bundt Cake

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2007

This cake was delicious and pretty easy to make. I do agree it makes way more than just one cake. I filled my pan about ¾ of the way full and then I used the rest to make 12 cupcakes and we also ate a good bit of frosting!! It was chocolate but not too chocolaty. It has a really great taste!! Thanks!!

French Toast Fingers

Reviewed: Jul. 21, 2007

These were great!!! I love feeding my children something different every morning and they gobbled these right up! I used sugar free jam too!! I will surely make these again. I think I put a bit too much jam on them though 'cause they were kinda hard to keep together. Next time less jam. Thanks!!!
