Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2012

This was a huge hit at our Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. Since I was cooking for 20 ppl, I doubled the recipe and put in a large oval crockpot. Everyone raved about them and all the leftovers were send home with guests who wanted them later that night :) One even suggested she would make potato pancakes with them in the morning. Definitely a keeper -- especially to bring to a potluck.

Joy's Prizewinning Trifle

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2012

I admit, I didn't actually eat any of this since I am on a strict diet -- however, I made it for thanksgiving yesterday and the entire bowl was gone with people taking 2nd and 3rd helpings. I was asked many times for the recipe. I think the next time I make it though, I will chop up the angel food cake rather than slice it horizontally. As a hint, the longer it was in the refrigerator, the better it tasted. I guess it gave the ingredients times to meld together. Made before noon and served around 5pm. Definitely a keeper!

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2012

This is SO chewy, like a brownie. My daughter's college team loved this recipe! The recipe yields 2 loaves and is now a 'must bring' when I visit.

Extra-Easy Spinach Lasagna

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2012

I would increase the spinach to (2) 10oz packages. I didn't feel like there was enough.

Magpie's Cucumber Sauce

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2012

Super simple and very yummy. I used fresh mint but only had dried basil. I used greek yogurt to increase the denseness of the sauce.

Oregon Salmon Patties

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2012

I served this to my daughter's volleyball team during pre-season and it was a huge hit when paired with Magpie's Cucumber Sauce. It scaled to 24 easily, just use a few fewer eggs and a bit more cracker crumbs than the recipe calls for when you increase the servings from 5 to 25.

Pesto Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2009

Made enough of this recipe to freeze individual portions in an ice cube tray. Once frozen, I put them in a freezer bag. Now I can take one pesto cube and place on a chicken breast -- just as many as I need -- before cooking.

Cake Balls

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2009

My family went crazy for this dessert. I made some small changes which worked well. Refrigerated the cake/frosting mixture overnight, formed the balls and froze them for a minimum of one hour. This allowed me to dip them in the chocolate without fear of them falling apart. Used chocolate cake w/chocolate frosting, dipped in white and yellow cake w/white frosting dipped in chocolate. Gave as holiday gift treats.

New England Seafood Chowder

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2009

Used Salmon instead of Haddock due to availability. Chowder was good and definitely better on the second day. I would add more bacon and undercook the salmon slightly as it got a bit dry. My family really like this recipe and it was not labor-intensive at all.

Frozen Cranberry Salad

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2009

This was okay. As another reviewer wrote, I had a lot left over. I was told it was good but the proof is in the leftovers :)

Banana Split Cake II

Reviewed: May 31, 2009

A little labor intensive but worth the work. I added mini-semi sweet chips, used magic shell to decorate and substituted pecans for walnuts. Wish I could buy pre-crushed nilla wafers but may take out the cuisinart next time to pulverize them.

Puppy Chow I

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2005

This is my go-to treat for my daughter's volleyball team. I started making it 10 years ago when she was a girl scout, then for her school volleyball team. Now I'm not allow to visit her at college without her team clamoring for it. Shaking in a large brown paper grocery sack is vital so the cereal doesn't get soft. Make sure the bag is completely closed when you shake (trust me on this). I have added whole peanuts and raisins to this also with good results.
