Tried the rub yesterday on some beef steaks. I did add cumin, oregano, thyme and chili powder like suggested in another review. I didn't have onion powder so I used 3 teaspoons of onion salt and omitted the salt. I also used a spicy paprika and omitted the cayenne pepper and I omitted the MSG. I will definitely use this rub more often!

Chicken Chimichangas with Sour Cream Sauce

The meat was really yummy with the seasonings. I don't care for the warm sourcream. Like it cold ... like on Tacos. I served the Chimichangas with lettuce, tomatoes and Salsa.

Chicken Milano

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2012

Really good!!! though I did change a few minor things ... I only had sundried tomatoes in oil, (didn't have other ones) ... I added dried basil to the cream sauce and let it cook with it ... I added a squirt of tomato paste to the gravy and more cream towards the end ... then I thickened it a little with flour/water (ofcourse ... got too thin with the extra cream). I also seasoned the chicken breasts with italian seasoning before cooking them. I served them with wide noodles and fresh carrots.

Heavenly Angel Food Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2011

This cake turned out pretty good. Though I must say that it is minimal less fluffy as other recipes I have tried. But the taste was good! And I don't understand how some people can have problems with the fluffyness ... if you beat the egg whites til stiff ... it can only turn out fluffy! Ofcourse you have to lift the flour into the egg whites and not stir them under!

Chicken Puffs

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2011

We found these OK ... a bit bland, the recipe doesn't even call for salt and pepper, which I definetly added. I also added some chili paste to pep it up some.

Feta and Sun-Dried Tomato Stuffed Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2011

I really liked the stuffing ... could of eaten it all up before stuffing the chicken! I found the marinade a bit too sour, lemony. I will make it again.

Spence's Pesto Chicken Pasta

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2011

I made this recipe as a salad, turned out really good! I used Fusilli pasta and made the Pesto myself. I browned the chicken breast (whole) in a frying pan and put it in the oven for 15 minutes til done, that made it really juicy. Then I cut it into bite size pieces. I also used less garlic.

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2011

I also, like many others, believe that a tenderloin is not the right choice of meat for a slow cooker recipe. I used a pork roast. It was done in 4 hours and very nice and tender. I thought the root beer would be "the special ingredient" ... but in the end it didn't add much to the taste. When I pulled the pork, I reduced the root beer in a pan. Then added it to the meat and bbq sauce in the slow cooker. Taste was ok, not fantastic. I also added some chili paste to give it some pep, which turned out to be a good idea! I will try a different recipe next time.

Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip II

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2011

Tasty! I added more Parmesan since I didn't have any Romano cheese. I used fresh spinach, and more then it calls for. I also mixed the mozzarella into the dip before heating in the oven. I served it with warm Flatbread (pita bread). Next time I will add more Phili ... mine turned out alittle thick since i added more spinach. Oh ... I also added some chili paste to give it some pep!
