Colossal Caramel Apple Trifle

I totally loved this. Next time I will make it with bananas instead. This makes a GREAT version of banana pudding.

Sour Cream and Chive Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2008

I LOVE this. I will never eat plain mashed potatoes again. I did take others advice and sauteed the chives in butter, then added it to the potatoes. I didn't want anything "crunchy" in my mashed potatoes other than the lumps...I love the lumps. Thanks for the recipe.

Artichoke Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2008

My husband gave this a 5. I gave it a 3 so it came out a 4. I'm not a fan of parmesan cheese at all. I was hoping everything else would drown out the taste but it didn't. This would be sooo good if I didn't use the parmesan cheese. Next time I will try Mozzarella chesse instead of parmesan. I did take others advice & use 1/2 mayo & 1/2 sour cream. The sauce was to die for. I also took others advise & used the marinated artichokes and I don't think I will use them again. Tasted too much like Italian dressing it was marinated in & I'm not a fan of that either. So next time I make this, I will stick to the recipe but swap the parmesan cheese out with moss. cheese. Thanks so much for the recipe. Those who like the marinated artichokes & parmesan cheese must like real Italian food because that is what it tasted like.

Bacon for the Family or a Crowd

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2008

I use this method & pan frying depending on the mood I'm in. Baking it in the oven is the perfect way to get nice, evenly cooked, straight bacon. You can fit more on a cookie sheet than in a skillet. When pan frying, you almost always have big pieces of fat that get picked off & thrown away. In the oven, it all gets nice & crispy & edible.

Libby's® Pumpkin Roll with Cream Cheese Filling

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2008

This is the recipe I have used for years, ripped out of a magazine. I would give it 10 stars if I could. I don't waste time making it into a roll. I double the batch, bake it as a cake in a 9x11 dish and top it with the icing/filling. It saves a lot of time & effort not to have to roll it. It may not be as attractive but it tastes the same. I then sprinkle the walnuts on top of the icing.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2008

This was actually very good. I didn't use all of the 2nd biscuits, mainly because I have a smaller crock pot.

Jackie's Sausage Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2008

What a surprise this ended up being. I made it for my husband who loves peppers, onions & polish sausage. I used polish sausage instead of sweet italian sausage and I double all ingredients except the broth. I used 12 cups of broth instead of 16. I don't like peppers but the broth tastes so good that I had to try it and I have to say that I loved it. The more I ate the addicting it became. This is deffinately a keeper. Only complaint my husband gave it I need to add more polish sausage. Another tip...would also be good with chicken or both chicken & sausage. Thanks for the recipe.

Pretzel Salad

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2007

Unless you like an extremely salty crust, I think this would be better with something other than pretzels or use pretzels with no salt. The one & only time I have/will try this the extremely salty crust clashed with the wonderful topping that I ate & ended up leaving the crust on my plate.

Pretzel Salad II

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2007

I finally got to try this after everyone kept raving on how good it was & I wasn't impressed. The toppings are extremely good but the pretzel crust was extremely salty. With the crust being so salty, it clashed with the topping. I would love this with something other than pretzels.

Watergate Salad

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2007

I accidently made this not knowing it had a name. I made the regular fruit salad with cool whip (fruit cocktail, mandarin oranges, bananas, etc) and had a box of pistachio pudding that I decided to throw in & try it. I only used 1/2 of a small box & it gave it the perfect flavor (not too strong). It went great with all the fruit too. This is a great recipe that you can change up & add anything you want (including nuts, marshmallows, etc).

Original Irish Cream

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2002

I made 2 batches of this for my Christmas dinner this year and it was great. My mother will never buy Bailey's again. She made me give her this recipe. She was so excited.

Restaurant-Style Hashbrown Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2001

I just love these. Coudn't believe it when I first tried it. My son didn't like the sour cream taste, but that was ok, more for me and my husband. I could barely taste the sour cream myself.

Buckeyes I

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2001

Everyone just loves these things. In fact, I have family giving me tins to fill for them, before I even start making them. However, my recipe calls for 1/3 bar of parafin wax. It makes the chocolate smoother and keeps it from clumping. You can't taste the parafin. They look sooo pretty. I freeze my "balls" before dipping. It hardens the choc on them faster and keeps the balls from falling off the toothpicks. I learned how to make these as a child and have been making them every year since.

Grilled Shrimp Scampi

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2001

This was good but I think I'd like a different sauce and broil it instead of grill it and make it more like Red Lobster. This was very easy to make and I just through the shrimp on the George Foreman Grill. Took a minute to cook.

Beef Barley Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2001

This was really good and easy. Just through the stuff in and let it go. Tasted great but I needed a bigger crock than what I have. I had to cut recipe in 1/2.

Pizza Casserole

This was real good and very easy to make. Kids can make this one. However, I like the Spicy Pizza Soup the best. I will be making this from time to time. Thanks.

Spicy Pizza Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2001

This is great. My oldest child loved it, saying it was better than pizza. I put in an extra cup of water and it still came out pefect. Had it with garlic bread sticks and a salad. Will be making this from now on. I don't even like peppers (I pick them off my pizza) but I sure ate them in this. I used someone elses' idea and used 3 different colored peppers to give it different colors. :)
