These were time consuming but they looked so cute! I had to let the olives drain/dry because they were too messy to handle while wet. Also, I precut and rolled the cream cheese pieces then rechilled it in the fridge before stuffing into the olives. On some I used cheddar cheese for the feet. They ate them all.

Cream Cheese Frosting II

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2007

This is the best frosting I have ever made! And so simple to make. Definatey make sure the cream cheese is room temperature. Next time I may try a different flavored extract like almond.

Stuffed Artichokes

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2007

These were soooo good although, I must delegate at least 2 of these stars to the other reviewers. I followed another users advice and boiled the artichokes for about 20 minutes so that I could scraped out the prickleys and the hairs. For the stuffing I substituded the italian bread crumbs for the cubed bread, much easier. Extra virgin olive oil trumps vegetable oil. Also, I added chopped pine nuts and basil. Then I stuffed and baked them in pan with about an 1 1/2 of water. Everyone LOVED them!

Artichoke Spinach Lasagna

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2007

This was really good! Even my meatlovin' husband liked it. The "no boil" lasagna noodles were less hassle. We didn't have regular onion so I had to use green onion instead. I only had 2 cups of mozzarella but with the feta it was fine. I'll definately make this again!

Chutney Baked Brie

Reviewed: May 15, 2007

This was a big hit! I brought it to my mom's for Mother's Day and everyone LOVED it. I used a smaller wheel of Brie and served with some leftover focaccia bread. Will make again.

Italian Butter

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2006

I must say this tasted pretty authentic! Definately add the EVOO at least an hour before serving so that the flavors have a chance to marry. We like it best with fresh crusty Italian Bread with sesame seeds on top.

Naan

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2006

Just like the Naan you get in the Restaurant! I thought I botched this recipe because the dough didn't rise quite like I'd expected. Either I was very wrong or this recipe is very forgiving. We decided to freeze half of the rolls for another time. Another time came two days later:)

Bacon Water Chestnut Rolls

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2006

These were pretty good. We found that thinner sliced bacon or low sodium bacon worked best. It crisped better and stayed wrapped around the chestnuts - didn't need to bake WITH toothpicks. I waited to insert the toothpicks before serving.

Kabob Marinade

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2005

Excellent! Used this on cubed beef for our big BBQ and there were no left overs. We added red and orange peppers to the scewers along with a mushroom here and there. Instead of soy sauce I used Tamari Sauce since it's not as salty. I also made extra marinade for portabella mushrooms since my sister is a vegetarian. She absolutely loved them! It's great over rice! too!
