Ranch Chicken 'N' Rice

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2009

I gave it 4 stars because of the potential flavor. The liquid ratio is off if you use regular long grain rice. I used this as a basis for some changes: Added 1/2 chopped onion sauted with some garlic in 1tsp butter, 2 cups converted rice, 4 cups of water (my test is to mix the water/seasonings and taste before cooking, that way you can adjust as required for flavor-more ranch, salt, etc). Added pepper to taste. Place the rice on the bottom of the casserole, place chicken on the top, pour the hot liquid (with onions & garlic in it), cover and bake for 60 - 70 mins. Turned out great.

Salisbury Steak

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2009

Alterations I've made that make it a 5 star (this is for 3lbs of ground beef): One packet of onion soup mix, generous grind of pepper, some garlic powder to taste, one tbs of worch., and seasoned bread crumbs for the meat mixture. Au Jus gravy mix, thickened with flour, for the gravy. Browned the steaks, then poured the gravy over them, 350deg covered for 45 mins. Fantastic!

Taco Soup III

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2009

Good recipe. I used vegetable broth instead of water since my tap water has no flavor ;) After testing for seasonings during cooking, I added garlic and more cumin to taste. The addition of fresh cilantro made this great. Added mor liquid to make it more soup like. Used hominy and corn with kidney beans but would be good with many other variations.

Apple Banana Smoothie

Reviewed: Oct. 22, 2004

A bit too much banana for my son's taste. Now use 1/2 banana or two apples. Other than that, It's quite tasty. Other fruit combos are next.....

Baked Pork Chops I

Reviewed: May 11, 2003

Of course, I can't leave a recipe alone, so I added onion powder to the flour with the other spices. I also added some italian seasonings and fresh parm. cheese to the soup mix along with more garlic. I would have added some heat, but I have small kiddos that haven't learned to enjoy that yet. Cut cooking time down to 1 hour (1" thick boneless chops) and they turned out great. Both my boys have asked for it again. If BOTH of them like something, it must be a winner!!
