Reviews

I used corn tortillas as I'm gluten free and they fell apart a bit but was still tasty. I used prepared enchilada sauce too. Didn't have shredded cheese so I used sliced colby and it was great. Very tasty. Served with my black beans and rice.

Taco Seasoning I

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2011

Fantastic. I added some cornstarch and a bit less salt. My boyfriend doubled the recipe and put it all on about one pound of meat and it was very spicy. A little goes a long way with this one. Just add a little at a time til you get the flavor you want.

Chicken With Mushrooms

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2011

I would've given it 5 stars but I gave it four because I felt it needed kicked up a bit more. I didn't follow any reviews, just did my own thing. I followed everything except I added salt and pepper to the egg and also water. I added salt, pepper, parsley, and red pepper flakes to the "bread crumbs" which was in my case gluten free flours. I added half a cup sour cream mixed with 1-2 tbsp cornstarch to 3/4 cup chicken broth. It took double the cooking time, perhaps because my chicken was still a bit frozen. I saw no need to saute the mushrooms at all. They were perfectly cooked. I didn't add cream of mushroom soup because of the gluten I can't have and there's always so many preservatives in that stuff. The dish could've used onion maybe, and def more mushrooms. Otherwise it was wonderful, and made a delicious gravy to put over rice. YUM

Ranch Dressing II

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2011

fantastic! won't ever buy store bought again, too much MSG in things anymore. I do like to add some cayenne or red hot or both depending on my mood as I like things spicy

Taco Seasoning

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2011

Pumpkin Bread IV

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2011

I made this with my gluten free flour blend I found on the land o lakes web site (which I now use for everything) and it was yummy. I made them into cupcakes and threw in some walnuts and made a coconut frosting, per my bf's wishes, and it was GF heaven!

General Tsao's Chicken II

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2011

didn't do the orange cuz I'm not a fan out citrus chicken, didn't do the peanut oil as I had none and used all sesame oil instead. I went nuts with the chiles because I like spice but found out that a little go a LONG way and a LOT go even FURTHER. But that was my fault and no fault of this recipe. I've been searching so long for a tasty tso recipe that didn't turn into jello and I've finally found it. It was flat out amazing. Thank you!

Pork Chops with Dill Pickle Marinade

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2011

I hate to do this but I wish I could give this a half star. I thought the nay sayers on here were just hating on pickle juice before I tried it ...but after trying it they were being nice! Keep in mind here that I LOVE pickles. They were a comfort food to me growing up, drinking the juice and all! But this was a disaster. They turned green and weren't moist. My pickle obsessed bf hated it too. I never have leftovers in my house, but this time I did. :( VERY disappointing

Peppery Beef Stir-Fry

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2011

I like spicy but this has a bit too much pepper to be edible. I cut the amount of pepper in half. I also do 3/4 the amount of soy as it tends to be too salty for me, subbing water for the rest of the soy. Otherwise satisfies a cravin for chinese
