Best Apple Crisp Ever

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2012
I was a little unsure about the egg in the topping, but it turnes out just great!

Southern Peach Cobbler

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2012
This wasn't the old-fashioned cobbler I remember, but still quite good. Delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Honey-Ginger Grilled Salmon

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2012
Had a bunch of salmon from my hubby's fishing trip and made it three different ways. This was by far the winner! Very good!

Chocolate Zucchini Bread II

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2012
Great option when you have lots of zucchini! Try adding a little cayenne pepper (1/8 - 1/4 tsp.) for a little Mexican twist!

Mexican Sour Cream Rice

Reviewed: May 1, 2012
Made this for an extended family "taco day" and it went very well, enjoyed by adults and kids alike. I think it would go very well with anything spicy as the sour cream is a nice contrast.

Tortellini Carbonara

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2012
Although not a true carbonara, this was excellent! So fast and easy! I browned chopped bacon in a large saucepan, removed and drained it, then prepared the sauce in the same pan. My only addition to the recipe was about a tablespoon of minced garlic from a jar. The sauce was finished first so I kept it on low and added a few drizzles of half-and-half two or three times to keep it a nice consistency. We enjoyed a nice pinot grigio with this delicious meal. This is good enough for company!

Salmon Cakes II

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2012
Have tried many salmon cake recipes over the years and have never been completely satisfied with any. I think I finally found a keeper! The cheese adds an interesting flavor, and I like the way the cakes fried nicely and stayed together. Served mine with a garlic aioli sauce (the picture looks like that's what they used) and we loved them!

Shepherd's Pie Daddy's Way

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2012
Followed the recipe exactly and it tasted very good, but the meat "crust" didn't stay together as it does on other shepherd's pie recipes I've used. I also like a layer of vegetables between the meat and potatoes.

Penne with Chicken and Asparagus

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2012
This was tasty, but definitely on the lighter side. I added mucho extra garlic, olive oil, and chicken broth to boost the flavor, but we did like it and I would make it again.

Chicken Breasts with Lime Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2011
Lime is one of my favorite flavors, but I just wasn't impressed with this dish. It was good, but I was expecting more flavor. I liked that it was fast, easy to prepare and didn't require many ingredients, but it just seems that something was needed to give it a little pizzaz.

New England Clam Chowder I

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2011
This was a very good, quick, weeknight soup. If I were making it for company or a potluck, I would want a slightly richer clam chowder. But still, this is quite good.

I've been looking for years for a really outstanding cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving dinner. I think I finally found a keeper!

Gulaschsuppe

Reviewed: Jun. 13, 2011
The broth was very close to a delicious veal gulaschsuppe I had recently in Austria. I followed the recipe exactly and we really liked it. Definitely recommend adding the sour cream, and I served it over some bagged "light and fluffy macaroni dumplings." Next time, though, to get a little closer to the Austrian version, I will use veal and/or pork, a little more red pepper flakes, and of course make some spaetzel to go with it.

Dessert Crepes

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2011
These cooked up beautifully and smell wonderful. It was really pretty easy. Plan to add masacapone cheese, chocolate chips, and strawberries, garnished with whipped cream and chocolate sauce!

Absolutely Ultimate Potato Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 22, 2011
Just finished two bowls of this rich, creamy and delicious soup! The only change I made was to substitute fresh parsley for the cilantro. When I make it again, I will use very little or no tarragon at all. I just tasted it too much. But what a great recipe!

Bow Ties with Sausage, Tomatoes and Cream

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2011
We loved this slightly spicy, creamy dish. Easy and fast to make, great for a weeknight supper. The only change I made was to add a sprinkle of dried basil to the sauce.

Hungarian Mushroom Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2011
Found this receipe a few years ago and I make it regularly, always very popular. Even shared it in a church cookbook. I love the rich, savory flavor of the broth. I like to use half portobello mushrooms.

Kaese Spaetzle

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2011
First tasted this dish in Garmisch, Germany at a quaint little cafe and loved it. This recipe comes very close to that one. Sort of a German mac and cheese.
