I was looking for an qucik easy side dish to go with Mexican food and this recipe was perfect. I used a different brand of chicken broth that was a larger size so I decreased the amount of water used accordingly. I didn't have peas on hand so I left those out too. I think this recipe could also be good with corn and black beans added. Super easy and lots of ways to adjust to fit your own tastes.

Chocolate Muffins

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2012

Very easy recipe, I followed other suggestions and decreased the flour and increased the cocoa. I also used close to a full cup of chips. In the middle of the recipe, I found that we had run out of milk. I improvised by adding a bit more sour cream and a splash of coffee liquor (borrowed the idea from my favorite chocolate cake recipe) The results were very muffins that were very moist and cake like. Made for a special breakfast treat that my kids loved!

Heather's Grilled Salmon

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2012

Very good results. I have made this several times. I've followed the recipe exactly and once used italian seasoning blend because I was out of basil. Turned out great both ways ! I have also found that I can cut back a little on the oil to decrease the fat without sacrificing a thing on this yummy marinade. I'll definitely make this one again and again.

Pumpkin Dump Cake

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2011

We loved this recipe! I've made dump cakes before and this pumpkin one is a nice change for pumpkin pie lovers. I used a yellow cake mix because that is what I had on hand and used closer to 1 cup of butter to dizzle over the top. As it is baking, if you see a little dry patch of cake mix on the top, put a tiny sliver of butter on the spot and it will blend in. This is absolutely yummy with bit of whip cream. A great holiday recipe that I will make again.

Proper English Cottage Pie

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2011

Very easy and great comfort food. I followed other reveiws and left out the cinnamon. I was worried that the potatoes would be too runny so I didn't use a full cup of milk with I mashed them. We thought the meat had a very nice flavor. I would make this again.

Hawaiian Bread II

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2011

I had good results with this recipe following it as is with the exception of adding 1/2 teaspon of coconut extract. I also considered s similar recipe that included that coconut extract, so I thought why not. I was concerned that this dough did not rise as much as I expected it to. I had to set it out much longer than specified and it still didn't rise as much as I would have liked. Since so many reviewers suggested salt, I will definitely try adding some next time I make this. The flavor of my bread was very yummy but I wish my loaves were a little more rounded. Mine were definitely not flat but not as pretty as the ones pictured in many of the photos on the site.

Cathy's Creamy Chicken Bake

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2011

My kids all love chicken casseroles that have cream of chicken soup as one of the ingredients so I decided to give this a try. I think you could easily use bread crumbs or cracker crumbs in place of the stuffing and get good results.

Weekday Pot Roast and Vegetables

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2011

I had a couple of cans of Campbells gravy to use up so I decided to give this a try. Super easy & turned out pretty good. My crock pot roasts are always done in less time than this recipe specified so check often and use a meat thermometer.

Scallop Scampi

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2011

This was just okay for us....I followed the recipe exactly except for using Ramano/Parm blend. The cheese clumped up and the sauce too runny, although it did have a very nice flavor. In the end, I drained off much of the liquid, added some more cheese, & seasoned it a bit more so we could eat it. I wish I would have tried to thicken the sauce a little more using corn startch but didn't want my scallops to be over cooked.

Loaded Potato Soup I

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2010

With not much time left before lunch, this recipe caught my eye. Microwaving the potatoes worked ok for me in a pinch. I stirred frequently and tossed them in a little butter to keep them from sticking together so much. I also sprinkled them with salt, pepper, & garlic powder for flavor. I used 1/2 milk & 1/2 chicken broth and added bacon and extra cheese. I liked the texture. Reviewers wanting more of a mashed potato texture might try mashing some of the potatoes before adding to the soup base.

Pumpkin Muffins II

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2010

Turned out great! I had to substitue pumpkin pie spice for some of the spices. I baked the pumpkin the night before, put the pulp in the fridge and made the muffins the next day with great results. I kept all the measurements the same and got 18 regular sized muffins out of it.

Roasted Asparagus and Mushrooms

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2010

Easy addition for our Thanksgiving meal. I threw in some carrots to make it more pleasing to my kids. Cooked at 400 for about 10 minutes and then turned the oven off to keep everything warm while I finished up some other dishes. Yum!

Zucchini Casserole I

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2010

I've made this twice--1/2 recipe made the perfect amount for our family. The only only change I made was to cut back a bit on the amount of oil. Turned out great!

Green Chili Eggs

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2010

Super easy and very good! I used 7 eggs, cut back a tiny bit on the green chilies, and seasoned a little with pepper, garlic salt, and cumin. No leftovers!

Pumpkin Nut Muffins

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2010

Good results with this one. I did a batch & one half to get 24 muffins. I found out I was low on sugar so I had to cut back by 1/3 of what was call for. The muffins were very moist. Next time I'll add a little salt & cloves and double the batch so I can fill the cups a little fuller. Great the next few days warmed in the microwave for a quick breakfast.

Roasted Vegetables

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2010

Very good! I cut my potato in small chunks and the more delicate veggies in larger ones. Halfway through I gave everything good stir and added some mushrooms. Baked for about 45 minutes total but I often have to extend the cooking time with my oven. I sprinkled some fresh parmesian on it, covered, and let it rest a few minutes before serving. Very good & looked pretty too.

Key Lime Pie I

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2009

This got rave reviews at our house! We were given a basket of key limes so I was able to use fresh squeezed lime juice. I cut a corner by using a pre-made graham cracker crust. I'm sure homemade would be better but the filling was so good it made up for it. I had to bake it a little longer than called for to get it to set up. I pulled it out of the freezer while we ate dinner and it was perfect to cut for dessert.

Amazing Pork Tenderloin in the Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2009

Good results for me! My roast was tender & juicy. Everyone liked it. I cut back a bit on the wine & used Lipton onion mushroom soup mix because that is what I had on hand. I used corn starch to thicken the gravy. Served it with rice this time but next time I would definitely make mashed potatos to take advantage of the yummy gravy.

Chocolate Cavity Maker Cake

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2009

Followed the recipe exactly & with wonderful results! This is an extremely rich and moist cake that doesn't require frosting or glaze on top. A dusting of powdered sugar was perfect. This recipe tastes so much "harder" than it actually is to prepare.
