Baked Slow Cooker Chicken

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2011

This was good enough, but I would only do this again if I didn't have time to roast a chicken in the oven the old fashioned way - SO much better (or if it was too hot to use the oven).

I was looking for something like this, and ended up tweaking it according to other caprese style dishes I love. I marinated boneless chicken breasts in italian dressing overnight, flattened them, then filled with the mozz balls & tomatoes. I also added a handful of chopped basil to each roll. Then I grilled them indoors - fabulous. I served the chicken on top of pasta that had been tossed with sauteed garlic, more cherry tomatoes, and a little cream. Topped the whole platter with shredded parm. My only other suggestion is to use LARGE chicken breasts and pound them really thin so that you can incorporate all the goodies! Really a great base recipe that you can adjust to your liking. A bit labor intensive, but the dish got huge raves.

Amish Breakfast Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2011

I followed this exactly and found it to be bland. I also think the hash browns made it mealy. Just not worth making again in my opinion. Seems like many of the positive reviewers are substituting ingredients or adding their own seasonings, which is terrific, but then that rating doesn't really reflect upon the recipe as written.

Turkey Brine

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2010

Wow - this will be my new favorite Thanksgiving recipe. I changed it a little bit - didn't have enough vegetable stock, so I substituted half apple cider. I also used a 6 lb whole turkey breast and roasted in an oven bag for about 1 1/2 hrs. PERFECT - incredibly tender and flavorful!

Thanksgiving Leftover Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009

We thought this was a pretty good way to use up the leftovers....however, I did not make the sauce. I simply used the leftover gravy, as it was almost identical to the sauce. I wouldn't make it on a regular basis, but for Thanksgiving or Christmas leftovers, it was a hit!

Beef Taco Skillet

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2009

Wow - this was great! I, too, added mexican seasonings, corn and black beans - otherwise made as directed. My kids inhaled it! The tortillas ended up tasting like dumplings, which we like, so no problem there. We also topped with a few crushed chips and sour cream. Might try making this with chicken next time - overall a terrific, super fast dinner - will make this often!

Glazed Lemon Supreme Pound Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2009

Overall, a very good cake. Several comments or suggestions: I did add 1/2 cup sour cream as other reviewers had sugggested - very moist with this addition. I did not have apricot nectar, but cooked dried apricots with apple juice until soft, then pureed - worked great. My only problem - I used a Bundt pan. If this is your pan of choice, you will need to lower the oven temp a little and check it often - will be done much earlier. I burned my cake after only 40 minutes. Also, your cake will look nothing like the picture, as the glaze is just a glaze - NOT icing - so don't plan on that lovely look! However, it does taste super lemony - got good reviews at my superbowl party. I think I may make it again with a topping closer to icing.

Michael's Foccacia Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2008

Fantastic and reasonably quick, for yeast bread! Nice with pasta and a salad. I halved the recipe and formed into a 10" circle - made 8 big servings. Added a little onion and garlic powder to dough. I also cut back on the kosher salt topping - using only 1 tsp - it was plenty. This will be a favorite for us. Thanks!
