Spiced it up a bit as others did with onions and garlic. Added chicken broth, stewed tomatoes, mixed veg. and seasonings. Simmered and shredded chicken. I thickened the sauce with flour. Served over rice. Hubby loved it. Will make again.

Blueberry Crisp II

Reviewed: Jun. 14, 2011

Liked it a lot! Very easy. Picked some blueberries and decided to treat myself. I did double the topping and added a tablespoon of butter to mayo. The topping should be sprinkled and then smoothed out. Do not press down which might have caused doughy texture.

Easy Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2010

I was pleasantly pleased that this ice cream recipe is so easy. The biggest plus was that the ice cream is great. No crystals. Not rock hard after freezer stay. I changed the original version by using 2 cups whole milk; 1 cup half and half; and 1 cup heavy cream. This is an excellent base that one could add any flavoring choice.

Beef Mac Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009

Came home last night and did not have a clue what to have for dinner. Had a 1 1/2 of ground beef in fridge and tired of burgers. This was perfect and I started it late. Another HIT! My two men in the house loved it! Maybe next time I will 2x's it because they complained not enough for lunch on the following day.

Crispy Fish Fillets

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2009

Excellent! I have never been able to fry fish, and tonight I did. Used the advice of dredging in flour first, adding extra seasoning into the egg mixture and did not have potato flakes but used crushed RITZ crackers. I had those frozen flounder pkgs and sometimes those are really fishy tasting, not this time!

Chocolate Fudge Pound Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 6, 2009

Sooo easy! Yes it is a box cake, I have been there done that scratch cake stuff. When one works why scratch...I would if I had the time. I followed the directions completely using a 10" by 4" angle food cake pan. I guess my only complaint was it was a little dry so drizzle with what ever you like or as we did drizzle and a scoop of homemade ice cream. I definatley will make this cake again. Using different mixes sounds like a great idea, for instance the strawberry cake and the lemon cake mixes.I give it a 4.5 because it is not dense enough to be a pound cake.

Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2009

Very easy if you set everything up prior to start. I used a cooking thermometer and a cast iron frying pan. Cut the mozzarella sticks in half and put them in the freezer. I did not have Italian b.c's. Just added seasonings to the regular b.c.'s I had to taste. I did the double dip, using the one wet/one dry method and used a fork to turn and move sticks. The prepared sticks were placed on a cookie sheet and then put 6-8 in the oil for 30-40 seconds. Placed on cake rake with paper towel. This is basically what most reviewers said and they turned out wonderful with rave reviews.

Pineapple Cake I

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2009

Not surprisingly this cake has a custardy taste. I topped with crushed pecans and baked. The easy part is exactly right. Good cake, just not what I expected.
