Key Lime Pie VII

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2011

Made this for a BBQ and everyone seemed to like it but I was disappointed. It was so heavy! I'm not a big baker so I try to follow recipes to a T. I've only had key lime pie a handful of times and it was always a much lighter pie than this. Those cute little key limes are time consuming to squeeze (even w/ a lemon squeezer). I made Graham Cracker Crust I from this website and it was easy and yummy. I will try a different recipe next time.

Peanut Butter Frosting

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2011

I thought this icing turned out too sweet and oily.

Chocolate Surprise Cupcakes

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2011

One word....WOW!! I made these for a bunch of chocolate lovers and they were huge hit! I only made one change to the recipe (used unsweetened applesauce instead of oil) and they turned out really moist, rich, and sweet. I may have used too much filling b/c they ended up looking marble all over (which looked pretty). I covered the cupcakes with a peanut butter icing but they were better without icing. The chocolate chips make these cupcakes really standout!

Whole Grain Waffles

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2011

Delicious! A few small changes that I made: used all whole wheat flour (not pastry or white), omitted the oil, left out the wheat germ (didn't have any), and added a pinch of brown sugar. My hubby and I were very surprised about how good AND healthy these turned out. The texture is great too, crisp on the outside and fluffy and moist in the inside. Thank you for a great recipe!!!

Chicken and Sweet Potato Bake

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2010

I followed the recipe and the whole dish was too dry the chicken wasn't cooked enough. I ended up adding chicken stock and cooking it a little longer to moisten the entire dish and cook the chicken all the way. It was a nice seasonal dish but I probably won't make it again anytime soon.

Barbie's Tuna Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2010

This is now my favorite tuna recipe! The curry powder is definitely the secret ingredient and I thank you Barbie for this recipe because I never would have thought to add curry powder to tuna salad! I was out of dill weed and pickle relish so I just skipped it and I also forgot to add the onion....opps. For crunch, I added a little celery and corn. Great recipe!!

Easy Chili I

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2010

Very easy and good, but not as spicy as I was expecting (hoping). I added corn, an extra garlic clove, kidney beans, black beans (no chili beans), and I substituted the beef for ground turkey. I feel like there was something missing but it could have just been "corn bread" :)

Lighter Lasagna

Reviewed: May 4, 2010

I made a few changes and followed some of the tips in other reviews and it turned out great! Here are a few of the changes I made: I didn't have onion on hand so I had to substitute with onion powder. Added pepper and salt. I didn't add any water, and instead of vegetable juice I chopped up 2 cups of cherry tomatoes. I also used mozarella and parmesan. This is a wonderful healthy version of lasagna!

Taco Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 25, 2010

I was not a fan of this recipe but my husband really liked it. I didn't care for the combo of pasta with mexican food/flavors....just didn't do anything for me.

T's Sweet Potato Fries

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2010

We loved these fries. The cooking time definitely depends on how thin you cut the fries and your oven. Great healthy alternative!

Fish Fillets Italiano

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2010

This is very quick, simple, and delicious! I didn't have any olives and it was still delish. I added mushrooms, a can of fire roasted tomatoes, a pinch of italian seasoning, and some diced tomatoes. Also, I used pasta instead of rice and it was perfect! I think this would go well with just about any fish or meat. Great recipe...thank you for sharing! This a keeper!

Chicken Cordon Bleu II

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2009

I prepared this dish for my husband and friends and they and I were very impressed :) I made a few changes: I used twine (no toothpicks), 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 butter versus (vs. all butter), breadcrumbs (no flour), 1/2 heavy cream and 1/2 half & half (vs. all HC), after browning in skillet, I baked chicken in oven at 350 for 20 mins, and I added fresh chopped basil right before serving and it really was just icing on the cake! I served chicken over white rice and broccolli (next time I will do asparagus instead).

Appetizer Mussels

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2009

This recipe is so great! It's yummy, quick, easy, and inexpensive! It was my first time making mussels and they were perfect. My husband loves mussels so I made this as part of our Valentine's dinner and we both loved it! I couldn't find the tomato & clam cocktail juice, so I mixed regular tomato juice with clam juice. I will be making this again for sure!

Kona Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2009

I will definitely make this again. It was so easy and really good! I gave it 4 stars vs 5 because I tweaked the recipe. I reduced the amount of soy sauce to 1/2 the amount the recipe called for. I used low sodium soy sauce. Instead of chicken breast, I used boneless skinless chicken thighs, and cooked them in the crockpot for 4 hours on low. I added: 3 cloves of garlic, grated some fresh ginger. The last hour of cooking, I added whole mushrooms. The last 10 mins, I added broccoli. Served it over steamed rice and everyone loved it. You could easily add other veggies or maybe even some pineapple too.
