Creamy Rice Pudding

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009
Its probably a great recipe as it is but like everyone else, I had to put my own twist on it and I love, love, loved it. I doubled and used 2, 12 oz cans of skimmed evaporated milk and 1/2 cup of 2% milk. In cooking this on my glass electric stove top, I remembered why I baked rice pudding because I was starting to scorch it which is really easy for me to do and especially with electricity. So I put the doubled batch in the large glass mixing bowl that pampered chef makes and microwaved it for seven minutes(but that was after it was already warm-make take twice as long), put the eggs and 1/2 cup milk in and microed for 2 min more then finished it up. The mixture came up over the top of the bowl when microwaving but it didn't boil over. If it looks like its going to go over, then take it out and stir it down. I used sticky rice-a short grain with a really good flavor. I don't think you can get it in regular stores but got mine in an Asian market by just asking for "sticky" rice. It works really great with this recipe. Used cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Used reg dark raisins but just one cup. If you don't use raisins, you might want to put a little more sugar in because a lot of the sweetness comes from the raisins. The vanilla is a must. I'm going to try brown rice next time.

Barley Turkey Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2008
Our Thanksgiving turkey was cooked in a pit and my kids got carried away with the rubbed on seasoning. So I used this recipe but didn't have to use any seasonings except a pinch of tarragon and some parsley. There was a lot of juice in the turkey bag so I used that for the turkey soup base plus added as much or more water. The juice had been refrigerated and fat removed. I also added a little beet greens and stems and mushrooms. Yum.

Red Skinned Potato Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2008
I have never really liked any potato salads I have made in the past because I think they had too much seasoning in them. This recipe stands on its own. However, I wanted to make enough for a large serving for a funeral and a serving enough for several people in my family. I achieved that by boiling 6 lbs. of potatoes. I doubled the other ingredients and used 2/3 mayo and 1/3 miracle whip, because I ran out of mayo. It took the largest metal bowl I had but worked great. I like the method of boiling eggs. they seemed easier to peel and cooked perfectly.
