World's Best Lasagna

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2011

DELICIOUS!!! Well worth the time it takes to make it! My husband said it was the best lasagna he's ever had. Definately will be in my cooking rotation. Since it's just the two of us I freeze the leftovers and it's a ready made meal all over again.

Amish Breakfast Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2011

Excellent casserole just as written! I've made & eaten a variety of breakfast casseroles and I feel that this is the most flavorful that I've ever had. I made this for guests and everyone gave it "two thumbs up". I'll definately put this in my "regulars" recipe file.

Tuna Noodle Casserole from Scratch

Reviewed: Apr. 16, 2011

I chose this casserole recipe initally because it didn't utilize an already prepared soup (Im on a low sodium diet). I did make two changes tho. I used asiago cheese instead of cheddar, as suggested. The asiago gave it a great flavor boost! I also left out the peas. Definately a keeper in my recipe box.

Crepes

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2011

Very tasty & very easy! I'll definately make them again. I followed a suggestion from other reviewer and added 2 t. vanilla & a pinch of cinnamon to my mix since I was going to fill w/fruit. I filled them w/fresh sliced bananas & strawberries. Some I topped with a warm blueberry sauce that I made by mixing approximately 1T cornstarch into cold water then adding blueberries and cooking til thick and others were topped with a warmed apple syrup. Both were a hit! Can't wait to experiment w/other fillings.

Reviewed: Feb. 12, 2011

This is a fabulous flavorful sandwich. I made it w/a beef brisket that I slow cooked in the oven one day then pulled apart and put it in the slowcooker w/the defatted au jus the next. I served it to a gather of female friends & it made a HUGE hit. Definately one to make again.

Angel Hair Pasta with Garlic Shrimp and Broccoli

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2011

As written - 4 stars w/a couple modifacations - 5 stars. As suggested by other reviewers I doubled the sauce recipe. However, I think that if I hadn't thickened the sauce as much that a single batch would have supported the angel hair pasta. With a thicker sauce you could almost use an alfredo noodle. I used fresh broccoli and precooked shrimp because that's what I had on hand. A quick heating in the hot butter w/garlic was all that was needed to get them ready for the dish. My husband & I both really enjoyed the dish but agreed that next time I make it I'll add a bit more garlic to the sauce . When you took a bite that didn't have any shrimp or broccoli it was a bit bland. I'll definately make it again & consider it a restaurant quality dish.

Basil Pesto Bread Rounds

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2011

FABULOUS flavor & super easy to make! I made this for a party with around 40 guests so I doubled the recipe but only "baked off" as needed. I didn't have to worry about checking if the pan was empty. It was brought to me by a guest "Deb, I have something for you". I looked & it as the empty serving tray - awaiting a refill. The only thing I had at the end of the night was several requests for the recipe. Like others, I toasted the bread and mixed the topping earlier in the day so that all I had to do to serve was spread the pesto mixture on the rounds, heat and serve. This will definately be on my appetizer menu from now on!

Chicken Scarpariello

Reviewed: Jul. 26, 2010

This was a tasty skillet recipe that was fairly light and very easy to make. I thickened the sauce just a bit as was suggested by a couple of other reviewers and served over penne pasta. I served steamed brocolli as a side along with a nice chardonay. Definately will make again.

Apple Bacon Tomato Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2009

I needed a flavorful hearty soup for a luncheon and this unique recipe filled the bill. I made it a day ahead as some reviewers suggested and it made a big success. I'll definately be making it again. I should say though that the "serves 8" is not accurate for my serving size. I fed 4 per recipe and could've used a bit more.

Stuffed Pork Chops

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2009

Easy and flavorful! I used a boxed stuffing mix for pork instead of croutons because that's what I had on hand. I made the stuffing as directed except that I added the sauted celery and onions to the "resting" stuffing. I didn't have a need for the milk or the spices since the stuffing mix was complete. The gravy was a nice compliment to complete the dish.

Fruity Acorn Squash

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2009

This was a great sidedish! I added just a bit of butter to the apples, celery and brown sugar and micorwaved the filling just a bit before adding into the partially baked squash. I was serving it with roasted pork loin so I wanted to do it in the oven. It made a big hit and was just as good reheated later in the week. I'll definately make it again!

Shrimp Fried Rice II

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2009

Very easy recipe. I altered the recipe just a bit by adding in mushrooms, carrot slivers, mini corn, waterchestnuts & bamboo shoots. Also I left out the beansprouts. The flavor was a bit to salty despite the fact that I used low sodium soy sauce. Next time I'll cut it down to 2T soy during the cooking and add more upon serving if necessary. Also, next time I'll cook the egg separately and stir in at the end as I feel that it made the dish to sticky and we like a fluffier rice dish.

Swiss Chicken Casserole II

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009

Wonderful flavor and simple to make! I followed a couple of different suggestions from other reviewers and used a semi-dry white wine instead of milk and chicken Stovetop mixed with melted butter. We, as well as our dinner guests loved it! I'll definately be making this more regularly.

Apple Crisp IV

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009

Fuji apples provided and excellent flavor and texture for this dish! This is an easy recipe to 1/2 successfully if you're just baking for a few people. I cut it in 1/2 and baked in 8 inch square baking dish. I didn't follow the recommended amount of apples in halfing. Instead I heaped the pan and it worked out great! I served it warm with vanilla bean ice cream and everyone loved it!

Crab Dip

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2009

We like this dip when it was hot, but even better when it was cold. Also, I added a can of small salad shrimp to make it a bit thicker.

Harvest Pork Stew

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2009

I followed this recipe as written, including the potatoes and carrots, and found it to be a wonderful addition to my recipe book. We loved the flavor that the apples added. The only thing that I will change for next time is that I will use unpeeled redskin potatoes (instead of peeled Idaho whites) and add some fresh ground pepper. I served with some fresh, hot dinner rolls. The broth was an excellent "dipper". Definately a keeper!

Slow Cooker Beef Stew I

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2008

Very flavorful and easy to make stew. I would've given 5 stars but I felt that it needed to be thickened in the end and this wasn't mentioned in the original recipe. I'll definately make again.
