Parmesan Fondue

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2012

This was not good. I added the wine as other reviewers suggested - it was a waste of cheese and time.

Ground Turkey Noodle Bake

Reviewed: Mar. 15, 2012

I stuck with the recipe except for the powdered milk. I used regular milk. This is a solid recipe for kids or lunch, not special enough for an adult dinner.

Excellent!!!! I combined butter, garlic and lemon in a sauce pan and heated through. I dipped tilapia filets in mixture. Then I dredged them through panko breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, parmesan and parsley. Cooked at 400 for 12 minutes and was blown away! Sooo easy and quick! Yay!! Thanks for the recipe!

KJ's Mushroom Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2012

This was surprisingly good. I added white wine instead of so much broth

Chicken Noodle Casserole I

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2011

good, but as other reviews noted - sort of bland. Definitely needs some sort of vegetable added, I thought string beans would be good and perhaps topping it with French's french fried onions would be better!

Oven-Roasted Vegetables

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2010

excellent flavor - very easy to prepare. I made these at Thanksgiving, which I wouldn't recommend - they would've gone much better with beef.

Outrageous Warm Chicken Nacho Dip

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009

People were flipping out over this dip. Not quite sure why it had to be made in a crock pot. One jalopeno barely made a dent, maybe 3 would be appropriate.

Cioppino

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2009

My husband said the broth tasted like dirty dishwater. After spending $60 on all of the items that go into this dish, and hearing that - i was very disappointed. I thought it was okay, but I served myself the stew over a piece of crusty garlic bread.

Spaghetti with Broccoli and Mushrooms

Reviewed: Jun. 26, 2009

Tweaked it a little bit -- as follows: put broccoli in steamer over pasta while it was cooking - less pots to clean up. Added a few ingredients; onion powder, basil paste (available in produce section) 1/4 cup of white wine, also used sea salt (half of what the recipe called for. My husband raved - such a simple dish to prepare - so much taste!

Sausage Potato Casserole

Reviewed: Jun. 3, 2009

WOW! This was surprisingly tasty. It was a meal made up mostly of things I already had. I cooked Italian sausage and bacon just until the sausage was no longer pink. I put shallots and garlic into the bacon grease for a few minutes. Added that and scallions to the sausage/bacon mixture. I used fat free half & half in the soup mixture. Other reviewers claimed that the mixture was soupy, mine wasn’t. However, it was a little greasy. Be sure to drain the sausage/bacon as much as possible. Also added lots of shredded cheddar to the top. I used my food processor to slice the potatoes thin as well as to shred the cheese. I will make this again and again!!

Rempel Family Meatloaf

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2009

My hubby really liked this, he ate all the leftovers - which is a rarity in this house. I was not overly impressed - I should've bought leaner ground beef - there was WAY too much grease. I loved the suggestion of putting two pieces of bread at the bottom of the pan to soak up the grease then toss before serving.

Strawberry Cake and Frosting I

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2009

My husband is convinced that I am "out to get him fat" he can't stop eating this cake! I am pretty sure that two nine inch pans would've sufficed. Also, I mixed a can of white frosting into the icing mixture (I didn't have four cups of confectionary sugar) This is a really nice cake!! I can't wait to share the recipe with my mom.

Caramel Apple Pork Chops

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2009

Yay! Another yummy pork chop recipe. My hubby and I are not fans of the Pork Chop, but have been trying to expand our horizons. Here was my game plan . . . dice a small onion and a small shallot add three tablespoons of butter to pan. Add onions/shallots to pan, a few minutes later add the pork chops. Cookon medium for 8 minutes total 4 on each side. Take chops and put in baking dish in oven at 350. Then proceed to cook apple mixture. Pour mixture over chops in the oven. Cook for 20 minutes in over, remove chops from baking dish, heat liquid in saucepan with a pinch of cornstarch wait a few minutes and it should thicken right up! SOOOO Good

Beer Dip I

Reviewed: Feb. 11, 2009

followed another reviewers suggestion and used port wine cheese. Tasted great - the only thing was, given its pink coloration from the port wine cheese, people thought it was a dessert.
