Banana Smoothie

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2011

Good basic banana smoothie. I did halve the honey and used real vanilla beans. My kids liked it and my husband said it was good. I used sliced up frozen bananas I had in a baggie in the freezer. It gave 2 large portions or 3 small.

Delicious Chicken Casserole

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2010

Could have used double the topping as the buttery cracker topping added so much more to the flavor. Even my picky kids ate it up!

Reviewed: May 11, 2008

Nice and easy. The seasoning wasn't too over-whelming, but just right.

Southern Grilled Barbecued Ribs

Reviewed: May 11, 2008

This was good. I thought the sauce was a bit too sweet for my husband's taste but he didn't seem to think so. Not sure I would make this again, the sause was a bit time-consuming and you can buy great BBQ sauce bottled these days.

Gyoza

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2007

With a few alterations, these were the BEST Gyozas I've ever had. I took it to a dinner and got so much positive response it was almost over-whelming. First of all, I chopped the veggies in my food processor very fine. Omitted onions and used green onions instead. Then, I browned the pork. After cooling, I put the pork in the food processor. Then I put the veggies in the frying pan with Sesame oil, 1/2 TBS of powdered ginger, and 2 TBS of Japanese Rice Vinegar. It will be somewhat of a mushy consistency, so just fry it for about 10 minutes. Then in a large bowl, mix it with the pork. Omit the egg, you don't need it especially if you are chopping everything in the food processor. It holds together just fine. These are a bit time consuming, but SO worth the effort.

Basil Shrimp

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2007

I made this for Mother's Day, and as others suggested, cut the brown mustand in half. Out of the steak, ribs, salmon and all the side items, this shrimp was the biggest hit!!!! Will definately make this again. I bought 2- 2 lb. bags of colossal shrimp at Sam's for only $12 and this recipe made it well worth it!

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2007

I would have given this 10 stars, and I'm not a fan of soups or mexican flavors. I did leave out the cilantro and tortilla chips. It needed more salt so I added another 1/2 teaspoon. Served with a side of corn bread. I also thought that 1 lb. of shredded chicken was not enough so I boiled a cut-up whole chicken in water with 3 stalks of celery, cut up carrots and an onion cut in half w/1 tablespoon of whole peppercorns. Boiled it for about 2 hours or until the meat was falling off the bone. Let it cool, discard veggies, shred. Makes for a very hearty meal.

Hawaiian Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 29, 2006

I didn't like the cream cheese in this recipe. It also tasted like it was missing something. Won't make this again.

Burrito Pie

Reviewed: Jun. 23, 2006

I served this for my husband and his guest one night. I was told that this was the best thing they had ever put in their mouths!!! When layering, I used 2 tortilla shells instead of one. I also left out the olives since my husband doens't like them. I don't like refried beans, so I didn't eat it at all.

Debdoozie's Blue Ribbon Chili

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2006

Not sure why this recipe gets rave reviews. I followed it to a tee (but added cubed beef) and it wasn't flavorful at all. So, I decided to add the following and it came out just perfect: 1 cup of strong brewed coffee, 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, extra 8 oz of salsa, 1 tablespoon of ground cumin, 4 extra tablespoons of chili seasoning mix. It makes a huge batch that only lasted our family 2 days. I give the revised recipe 5 stars.

Very Special Spaghetti Sauce

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2006

I wasn't that impressed. First of all, you MUST drain the grease! I had wondered if I should, but decided to follow the recipe exactly. It was greasy as can be!!! I had a whole layer of grease on top, thank goodness I wasn't cooking for company.

Savory Garlic Marinated Steaks

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2006

This is an awesome marinade. The first time it turned out perfect. The second time I only left it in the marinade for one night and it just wasn't enough. I know now to keep it in the marinade for at least two nights.

Charline's Sweet Potato Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2005

I thought this was great. The directions are not great though; it does not state to cook the potatos first before mashing. I assumed I was suppose to, but it then stated to cook until "tender". Well this made no sense. You can't mash raw potatos so I cubed them and cooked them. They had to cook much longer than 20 min for it to "set". In the end it turned out great, loved the topping also.

Down Home Macaroni and Cheese

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2005

It's good when eaten the first day, without the topping, in my own opinion. My husband felt the same way.

Chili I

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2005

My husband absolutely loved this recipe. He ate 2 huge bowls and got sick because he ate so much! I did not have any coriander on hand, so it was ommited, but you couldn't tell. Make sure you let it cook for at least an hour. I noticed the flavor changed (for the better) after simmering for a while.

Chicken Enchilada Dip

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2005

This should be called Chicken Enchilada Casserole because it was a huge hit with the office and nobody used the chips. They said it was awesome without it! I handed out a recipe to everylady in the office. Only substitution I made, was I used 2 large cans of Tyson's chunck chicken in place of the chicken breasts.

Ranch Burgers

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2005

It was hard to taste the burger over all my mayo, mustard, ketchup and everything else on my burger. Plus I pat them out pretty thin, since they seem to shrink up on the grill. Next time I won't make them so thin.

Skillet Pork Chops with Potatoes and Onion

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2005

This was awesome! You could cut the pork chops with a fork! I was out of lemon juice so I used lime instead and had no parmesan so used Romano. Definately eliminate the extra salt. It's not needed. The Gold potatoes are a must. They have that buttery flavor that enhances this dish altogether. This one's a keeper.
