Blackberry Cobbler

Reviewed: May 21, 2010

This was good and easy! I had picked blackberries and needed to use them, so I whipped up this cobbler and took it to a homeschool co-op meeting. It was all gone by the time I left (always a good sign..). The only thing I did different was to add a can of harvest spice peaches to the blackberry filling and some cinnamon to the biscuit topping. Served it with vanilla ice cream. Mmm-mmm!

Bacon-Flavored Dog Biscuits

Reviewed: May 8, 2010

My son and I made these for his dog Killer, and he LOVED them! ( the dog not my son....) They were so easy and a great way to use leftover bacon grease since I hate to waste anything. This recipe makes alot and they do not keep well at room temperature, so I would recommend storing them in the freezer and taking them out as needed. Great recipe!

Herbed Cream Cheese-Stuffed Lamb Burgers

Reviewed: May 3, 2010

Baaaad-a**! (ok that was pretty lame...) Even my kids loved these. I did not bother to freeze the cream cheese, just spooned some on and spread it out. I used Philadelphia chive and onion cream cheese instead of making my own, and I also forgot to season the lamb at all before making the burgers. Salted the burgers after cooking and they were awesome. So easy and good I am mad I didn't come up with this one myself!

Cindy's Jambalaya

Reviewed: May 3, 2010

Great and easy! I looked at several other jambalaya recipes from this site but chose this one because it had the fewest steps....no taking meat out and putting it back in. I used a ginger chicken broth I had leftover from making chicken salad the other day, and it added a nice layer to the jambalaya (the ginger was very subtle). I meant to add a bit of chicken base to the broth since it was homemade and unseasoned, but I forgot so had to add more salt to the finished product than I would have liked. I will definitely make again using a well seasoned broth next time.

Favorite Cabbage Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2010

I made this the other day as a salad to go along with pot roast, and everyone loved it! Did not have time to cook the bacon so left it out, but can only imagine it would be even better with bacon....maybe even a few drops of bacon grease in the dressing. Might try that next time, I love me some good pork fat! This is a slaw, so the vinegar and sugar MAKE the dressing. I would not recommend leaving either of these out or you just end up with mayonnaise instead of an awesome dressing...

Made this with my 9-year old son (he found the recipe). It was super easy and would be easy to add your favorite jello ingredients to! Both my boys liked it, great recipe!

Rich Mexican Corn

I love this corn!I added a little sea salt and I think that fresh cilantro would be delicious, plan to try that next time. Great side dish, and easy too!

Chicken Salad My Way

Reviewed: Jun. 1, 2009

This is a great chicken salad recipe! The ginger was a nice addition I'm sure I will use again. I did not use the star-anise pod as I didn't have it but would like to try it the next time I make this recipe. The next time I make it I will probably just chop up the ginger that I boiled with the chicken as another reviewer suggested. I actually had some of this salad for lunch with a friend (on a croissant of course!) who called me the next day to tell me she was thinking about the chicken salad that we ate.....really good recipe!

Best Spanish Rice

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2009

Ok, so I made this recipe and it was super easy! I am giving it four stars because even following the recipe exactly, the end result will be affected by the type and flavour of the salsa you use.( I prefer Herdez it tastes so fresh!) I also added a little extra broth near the end of cooking time. Came out great, thanks for the great shortcut!

Cake Balls

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2009

Ok, so I made this with lemon cake/lemon creme icing/vanilla almond bark, and also strawberry cake/cream cheese icing/chocolate almond bark. I did have to freeze the balls for a couple of hours before I dipped them, but that made it much easier and coating hardened faster. I did not care for the almond bark in either chocolate or vanilla, and will avoid it at all costs from now on. The cake balls themselves were great, and I will definately make them again using real chocolate coating instead of almond bark. Great easy recipe!

Delicious Black Bean Burritos

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2009

Made these for lunch today. Was feeding two pregnant women and was secretely scared of getting eaten myself if they did not like them, but they both loved them! Added chili powder in with the veggies, 1/2 can corn with the beans and a little extra cream cheese in with the mixture. Then filled tortillas with bean mixture, spanish rice, sliced avacado and a couple spoons of salsa. Rolled them up and melted some chipoltle white chedder on top of them. Served them with mexican table cream and chipoltle-pineapple salsa to top with. Next time I might also try some rotel or tomatos, but I had two happy pregnant women I tell you what!

Easy Chip Dip

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2009

OK, I just made this and rated it a four because its so easy and really does have a good flavor! The only problem was that it was a little too salty for me. next time I will add only half of the soup mix to start with or skim mostly the vegetables off of the top of the soup packet. Would also be good with celery or carrot sticks. Ok, time-warp to alot later. It has been a while since I wrote this review. I would just like to suggest to anyone looking for SOMETHING to mix with that sour cream that taco seasoning is the bomb. My son and I discovered that some sour cream mixed with a some of a taco seasoning packet (to taste) is our new must have for bean and cheese tostadas or nachos. I love it with tortilla chips. Or on a spoon...

Ha! Perfect rib eyes in a pan? Who would have believed it! These were absolutely fabulous... I'm in heaven. Doubled the pepper, but recipe would be great as written.
