A Simply Perfect Roast Turkey

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2010
This was my first turkey I made and it was so easy! The meat is so juicy, i was so surprised. I basted every hour for the first 2.5 hours and then for the second half i basted every 30 minutes. Also I put butter, salt and pepper between the skin and the breast meat. I also made gravy out of the drippings and it was also delicious (but a bit salty). I am glad this was so successful since it was my first turkey that I made myself, and I am only 17 years old. woohoo! If this is your first time roasting a turkey I strongly suggest you use this recipe, its pretty hard to go wrong with this. Happy roasting!

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2012
These are so good! I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of the following changes: 1) brown sugar instead of white for the crumb topping. 2) added a splash of vanilla extract to the milk/egg/oil mixture. 3) i turned the temp down to 375 after putting the muffins in the oven and they still came out cooked after 21 mins. These muffins are good because they are sweet enough to satisfy a sweet craving, but not so sweet that they can't be enjoyed.

Fluffy French Toast

Reviewed: Jun. 26, 2011
yum! be sure not to soak the bread too long or else your toast will fall apart when you're trying to move it to the pan! also, medium heat works well. medium-high kinda burns the outside of the toast before cooking the inside. i made a batch to freeze and eat for the week week! wahoo!

Caramelized Baked Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 27, 2011
this was delicious! even though i cooked it 375 for an hour it was a tiny bit dry so next time i'll do 45 minutes. for less sweet flavor, do equals amounts of ketchup and honey (instead of more honey)

David's Yellow Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 11, 2012
This cake is very light and springy, with a versatile flavor. As usual I cut back on some of the sugar that it called for; I actually made yellow cupcakes with a chocolate chip cookie center: I halved the recipe to make the cupcakes. Then I put a small ball of Pillsbury cookie dough in the center before baking. It's like a hidden cookie surprise when you bite in heheh. Also I was out of milk and using water in place of it worked well.

Quick and Easy Chicken Noodle Soup

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2011
Yum! so quick and easy. I sauteed the carrots with the celery and onion, and used about a cup of each. I also diced raw chicken and cooked it in the soup toward the end, when the noodles were al dente (i brought the soup up to a rolling boil to cook the chicken throughly). No need for salt! It called for a lot of noodles, so i might only use 1 cup next time.

Monkey Bread I

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2012
This is so fun and easy to make. I tossed the biscuit pieces in a bowl instead of a bag. Also you can cut the white sugar and cinnamon mixture by half because you really don't need that much to coat them. So so so easy and looks good and taste good too!

Saltine Toffee Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2011
This is so totally bad for you but it taste so good it doesn't even matter! I used unsalted saltines, light brown sugar instead of dark brown, and omitted the pecans because I didn't have any. Also the chocolate chips didn't melt all the way on their own so I popped them back into the oven after I sprinkled the chocolate on. The toffee kind of taste like caramel and it is so so good! Perfect for the holidays.

Campbell's® Green Bean Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2011
this is seriously sososososooo good with the changes i made: omitted soy sauce, only used a splash of milk, and added 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Instead of using fried onion I sauteed a cup of of sliced onions (with a little bit of sliced red bell peppers for color). I also sprinkled the top of the dish with bread crumbs when there was 10 minutes left and cranked it up to 375 to toast em. This is seriously the easiest recipe ever and it makes you feel good about yourself because you're eating veggies :)

After-Thanksgiving Turkey Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2011
So good! I actually didn't use any cream, flour or butter. Instead, I added a cup of leftover mashed potatoes to the soup to thicken it up. And of course added extra veggies! The turkey carcass is what gives this soup great flavor.

Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2011
used leftover thanksgiving turkey instead of chicken for this. following other reviewers' suggestions, i boiled the veggies in the broth. I left out the milk and added corn to the chicken mixture. Many people were saying that there wasn't enough liquid but it was moist enough for me!

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2011
YUM!! It looks so professional and tastes just as good. Changes I made: used light olive oil instead of butter for the batter, cut the sugar in half for the batter, and doubled the amount of cinnamon for more flavor. There is quite a lot of crumb topping for the 11 muffins I had, but it only made it that much better :)

Mushrooms with a Soy Sauce Glaze

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2012
simple, yet very tasty. I found that 1 teaspoon of soy sauce is salty enough for me. 2 is a little too much.

Creamy Rice Pudding

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2011

After reading the reviews on a mediocre crust, I decided to buy sheets of puff pastry and use this filling recipe. 4 stars because I havent done the crust.
