Cranberry Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2010

I found this recipe because I was wondering if I could use regular orange juice in place of the water, instead of my usual addition of frozen oj concentrate to the water. I guess so! Thanks for the recipe.

Ham 'n' Noodle Toss

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2010

This is a very good combination that I've never thought of. We really liked it! I made it a little differently and used chicken ramen instead of Oriental. I cooked the cubed ham on a grill pan to brown it and then added it to the drained, cooked noodles and broccoli. I used frozen broccoli and cooked it in the noodles & broth before draining the broth (to reduce sodium - but some nutrients might have been lost from making the broccoli this way). Added lite soy sauce just before serving. I will make this again!

Tuna Snack Spread

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2009

I made this with 2 cans of tuna, and it came out great. I think it's good either way, having tried it with one can first. I used onion powder instead of salt (cutting down on salt) and light cream cheese. If you don't have lemon juice, it's okay. I didn't really taste a difference, and it just made the dip less thick, but it has a good, creamy consistency either way. This is going on my list of dips to make for get-togethers and just hanging out at home.

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2008

This was my first time making banana bread. I made 24 "cupcakes" with a single recipe (there was still enough batter for one or two more), filling the cups 2/3 of the way full. I used silicone baking cups and baked them for 30 minutes at 350 degrees (I got a darker brown - for lighter brown, start checking around 22 minutes - they were fully cooked at 24 mins). They came out with just enough room to add frosting, if desired. These taste great! They are perfectly moist. I used 5 ripe bananas, used margarine instead of butter and added a pinch of cinnamon to the batter. They are in place of regular cupcakes for an uncle's birthday, at his request. I'd use this recipe again if the occasion comes up. Thanks!

Tater-Topped Dogs

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2008

My dad also used to make these, but without the buns. You cut the dogs in half lengthwise, place them face up on the sprayed baking sheet, then fill with the mashed potatoes (instant works fine, and you can leave out the salt) and topped with sliced American cheese. I even sprinkle seasonings on top. They are great with ketchup. So easy! Thanks for the recipe! I'll try it with buns next time!

Cranberry Sauce I

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2007

I do this same thing, but by adding the frozen orange juice concentrate equivalent to the recipe on the cranberry bag. This is soooo good! The orange flavor really compliments the cranberries. I make it every year.

Bodacious Broccoli Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2006

This has turned into a must-make recipe for our family gatherings now. I used 6 broccoli crowns, not heads. There was less of the stem. This meant less waste of the unused stem parts. Another time I made this, I used two 2-lb bags of frozen florets (not pieces), and they work just fine as an emergency substitute. I found that making this ahead of time gave the best flavor, as did eating the leftovers the next day. The flavors really blend. Don't leave one ingredient out, no matter how odd it seems.

Hot Dog a la Potato

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2004

This recipe is one that my late dad said that he ate when he was growing up. It's a quick and easy meal and you can use leftover real mashed potatoes or just make instant potatoes. I put everything on top at once and season it with onion powder or whatever seasoning I feel like adding, and bake it until the cheese starts to turn light brown. Remember to use a baking sheet with edges so the cheese can't drip. The hot dogs will be hot inside, due to the potato "insulation", so let them sit a few minutes before serving. Delicious!

Bacon Cheese Puffs

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2003

This is a great recipe for an easy appetizer! However, it is a bit salty. Next time I will try using the low sodium bacon instead. I also improvised with half of the appetizers by adding one slice of a grape tomato (like a tiny plum tomato) to the top of the bread before adding the mixture. It turned out very tasty, as the tomato stayed firm under the filling. I'm also going to try using this as a filling for my homemade dough. Thanks!

Snicky Snackies

Reviewed: May 25, 2003

This was the second time making them, and I got the best compliments this time around! They disappeared in less than 30 minutes! I changed a few things, like microwaving the carmel ingredients in a huge bowl, and cooling the oven-heated mixture on the cookie sheet I used. Once cooled, I just put them in a bowl, omitting the wax paper step. The carmel came out smoother and tastier doing it this way. I also added about 1 tsp of cinnamon and about 1/4 tsp vanilla extract to the carmel to give it less of a butter flavor, which seemed overwhelming. But everything came together better this time around, using this method.

Baked Corn II

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2001

I quadrupled the recipe for my church picnic, and people just ate it up! It is so easy to make, and you can do it all in one bowl and one casserole dish! The color is wonderful when baked, as it turns a nice orange on top and is very attractive. It is important to defrost and drain the corn of any extra water before using it, as the final product is a wonderful consistency when done. Thank you for the recipe!
