Passover Brownies

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2004

These are definitely for the chocolate lovers. Very fudgy! I did have trouble with the bake time. At 30 minutes, it was still really jiggly, and at 35 minutes, my knife came out totally batter coated. I ended up baking them for about 45 minutes. The insides were very moist, but the top and sides came out very hard and as a result, crumbled when I cut them. Nevertheless, they tasted great and the kids loved them.

Apple-Cinnamon Farfel Kugel

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2004

This was wonderful! The smell when it was baking, filled my entire house with cinnamon. It's so easy to make (if you have a food processor), and it was fantastic. I doubled the recipe and baked it in a 9X13 pan for the same amount of time and it turned out fine. I wouldn't wait until Passover to make this dish again.

Pasta with Gorgonzola and Sweet Onion

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2004

Sorry to be alone here, but I did not enjoy this at all. I usually enjoy gorgonzola, but found this to be much too strong. The kids took one bite and nearly cried. My husband didn't mind it, but didn't go for seconds either. The kids and I ended up eating leftovers instead.

Fried Cabbage II

Reviewed: Mar. 22, 2004

This was excellent. I served it with corned beef, and I would have eaten it on its own. The only change I made, was I only used a tsp of the vinegar, as I thought a Tbsp might be overwhelming. The tsp added just the right amount of zing. It disappeared very quickly.

Get a Husband Brunswick Stew

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2004

I'm giving this a 4 because my husband rated it a 5 and I rated it a 3. I just found it too sweet with the BBQ sauce, and I didn't really like the texture. It wasn't horrible, but I found that after a few bites, it started getting on my nerves. I don't think I'll make it again, but don't tell my husband that!

Slow-Cooked German Short Ribs

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2004

This was fantastic. I couldn't get beef short ribs, so I used pork short ribs instead. I didn't care for all the little bones, so next time I'll try a different cut of meat. The sauce was so delicious! We made garlic mashed potatoes, and poured the sauce all over them. Fantastic meal.

Mexican Baked Fish

Reviewed: Feb. 12, 2004

Ok, I do not usually provide a review, if I make a major change to an ingredient, but I felt that in this case, it wouldn't make a huge difference. Originally, I had intended on using fish for this, well, fish recipe. I ended up using chicken breasts, because the fish wasn't looking too appetizing at the store. Other than that, I stuck exactly to the recipe as written. It was fantastic and easy. What made it better, was that my very picky (understatement) 8 yr old, ate every last bite and then asked when I was making it again. For the record, I'll be making it again next week!

Barbeque Pork Two Ways

Reviewed: Feb. 11, 2004

This was really good, but similar to many recipes I've tried already. I ran out of ketchup, so I used half ketchup and half BBQ sauce. I'm glad that I stuck with the called for amount of brown sugar, as we didn't find it too sweet at all.

Super Sloppy Joes

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2004

This was ok. I followed other reviewers' advice and substituted the ketchup with BBQ sauce. I still found it a little on the bland side, but my kids liked it, but that's only after they added some shredded cheddar to their sandwiches.

Simple Whole Wheat Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2004

Absolutely delicious! I used a 50/50 white to wheat flour and next time I'll use even more of the wheat. The dough was incredibly easy to work with, and the bread ended up so soft and delicious. I accidentally added WAY less salt in my haste (1 tsp), and it was still wonderful. My kids enjoyed it with soup last night, and this morning ate it with peanut butter, and with butter and honey.

Restaurant-Style Zuppa Toscana

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2004

I love this soup. It's so easy to make, and it results in a hearty, flavourful dinner. I took the sausage out of it's casing, and fried it up with the diced bacon. I think it saved a lot of time in the prep work. I also only added light cream rather than whipping cream, and it was still delicious.

Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2004

This was so delicious! I only had 2 mahi mahi filets, so I also used salmon. We actually liked the salmon better. The sauce turned out so wonderfully thick and sweet, that I really wished I had doubled the amount to pour on the rice. I can hardly wait to make this again, and would not hesitate using it with chicken, or even better, on a pork tenderloin. Wonderful recipe!

Broccoli Cheese Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2004

This was very good. I doubled the broccoli and cheese, and it was too cheesy for me (but my husband loved it). I would recommend doubling the broccoli, but only use 1½ lbs of the cheese. It makes a LOT of soup, so unless you're feeding an army, have some freezer containers handy for a quick mid-week dinner.

Braised Balsamic Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2004

I'm giving this recipe 4 stars, because I just thought it was ok, but my husband loved it. I added a can of artichoke hearts that I roughly chopped, and thought they went very well with the dish. Actually, I think I would have liked it better without the chicken, and could have had the sauce over rice. I didn't want the vinegar to be overwhelming, since I'm feeding two kids, so I only added 1/3 of a cup. I'm glad I did, because even with a smaller amount, I thought the vinegar was quite strong.

Asian Salmon

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2004

This was absolutely fantastic! I took the advice of other reviewers and doubled the marinade (with the exception of the oil). The fish came out moist and flavourful, and we all had seconds. I didn't makethe dill rice though. Instead, I served it with basmati rice and snow peas. Delicious!

Chocolate Bar Fondue

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2004

Yum! We made this for New Year's Eve, and I followed the recipe to a T. The chocolate was so creamy and smooth. We dipped strawberries, bananas, kiwis, marshmallows and pound cake. The only thing I wish I had done, was cut the recipe in half. There were only five of us, and I think that we'll be eating fondue for a week (not that that's a bad thing!).

Apple Raisin French Toast Strata

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2004

What a delicious dish! After reading the reviews, I melted the cream cheese in the microwave, and tossed it with the first layer of bread cubes, so that everything was coated. I didn't have raisins, so I added some dried cranberries that I had on hand, and sprinkled the top with cinnamon and sugar. I baked it for an hour and a half, which was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.

Breakfast Casserole II

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2004

This was a wonderful casserole. Like some others, I fried some diced onion up with the sausage, and then layered everything before pouring the egg and soup mixture over everything. Mine was completely cooked and set up after an hour, and was not in the least bit mushy. Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. It was really tasty and the texture was perfect.

Blueberry Cream Muffins

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2003

I thought these were great. I read the reviews and based on a lot of them, I sprinkled some sugar on the tops of the muffins before baking, to add some sweetness. They turned out extremely light and moist, so I'm confused by the reviewers who complained that they were dense. Next time I decide to make muffins, this is the recipe I'll be turning to.

Homestyle Turkey, the Michigander Way

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2003

I am so glad I tried this recipe. The turkey smelled wonderful from the first hour I started cooking it. It came out moist and delicious and the broth made for the most wonderful gravy! This will be my regular recipe from now on.
