Bacon Water Chestnut Wraps

Reviewed: Jun. 14, 2010

Sweet, crunchy, and salty all rolled into one delicious bite! These were GONE before I knew it at a recent party I threw.

I also substituted ketchup for tomato paste, but just a tip for those of you who don't want to open a can for such a small amount. I open up both ends of the tomato paste can, push the paste all the way out, wrap it in saran wrap and freeze it. When a recipe calls for it, I simply unwrap it from the freezer and slice off the amount needed. It works beautifully. I substituted lime for the lemon and it came out delicious. Grilled it on skewers and threw it on top of a caesar salad with some crusty bread. This is a keeper.

Grilled or Fried Skirt Steak

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2008

Delicious! You can taste the marinade all the way through the steak. I marinated for 10 hours, then grilled as directed. Very flavorful.

Baked Potato Skins

Reviewed: May 14, 2008

These are absolutely delicious! Better than any restaurant can make. I made these, along with a salad, as a light dinner. My 2-year-old and 4-year-old loved them. I would definitely make these the next time I have guests over for a casual dinner.

Stuffed Artichokes

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2007

Definitely save yourself the time and use Italian seasoned bread crumbs mixed with cheese and olive oil. It's easier to stuff between the leaves. I steamed them already filled in a steamer basket, then put them under the broiler for a few minutes to crust. My 3-year-old couldn't get enough. We dipped the leaves in unsalted melted butter. You don't need salted butter-the breadcrumbs add plenty. Also, scooping the choke out before you fill really saves you trouble when you just want to dive in!

Favorite Corn Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2007

Mild and delicious. A basic recipe for homemade cornbread. I added corn kernels, red pepper flakes and sundried tomatoes to spice it up. Really good flavor and easy to make, especially when you're in a pinch.

Turkey Pot Pie III

Reviewed: Feb. 12, 2006

Hearty, home-cooked, comfort meal. Creamy and thick. I used a rotisserie chicken from my deli and shredded it into the filling. I also used a frozen 9-inch pie crust along with a refrigerated roll pie crust for the top. Yum.

Fisherman's Quick Fish

I used salt and vinegar potato chips instead of plain ones and WOW! This gave it so much zing and flavor. My husband loved it.

Chicken Marsala

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2003

I wasn't preparing chicken, but pork chops on the grill and wanted the mushrooms marsala sauce to pour over the chops. I used 3 Tbs. butter, 3 Tbs. olive oil and melted them together. Then I added the mushrooms and some sliced onions to the pan. In a bowl I mixed the recommended marsala wine, sherry, and about a Tbs. of cornstarch and whisked it all together. Then I poured it over the mushrooms and onions, covered it, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. OH MY GOD, YUM! It thickened up perfectly and I poured this over the pork chops hot off the grill. My husband was without words. We both agreed this was better than any marsala sauce we've had in any restaurant! There were NO leftovers!

Easy Key Lime Pie I

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2003

This was delicious! My neighbor brought over a whole bag of key limes so I squeezed them to make about 6 pies. This makes a huge difference in the taste, rather than using key lime juice, but it will work just as well. This is so simple and so delish! Everyone loved it and said it was better than store bought or from a restaurant. I used a store bought graham cracker crust but sprinkled the bottoms of them with crushed toasted pecans before adding the filling. YUM! This is a winner! I found that after 15 minutes it was still a bit "wiggly" so I left it in for a total of about 17 minutes. Perfect! A chocolate crust would be tasty, too.

Stuffed Peppers

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2003

These were good, but needed a little something. I layered the peppers with Monterey Jack cheese with jalapenos, the mixture, the cheese, the mixture, the cheese, etc. This gave it alot more flavor and some heat.

Salsa Cheese Boule Dip

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2003

I made this for a themed Mexican dinner party as an appetizer and it was GONE! So yummy! Along with the reserved bread pieces, I also served it with lime tortilla chips. The guests blocked the door and wouldn't let me go home until I gave them the recipe! Luckily, I got out alive and managed to keep it a secret. Hee, hee...

The Best Clam Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2003

Simple, simple, simple and so good! You can thicken it up a bit with flour or cornstarch, but it doesn't really need it. Grate some fresh parmesan over the top and you're good to go. This is an easy dinner and always a winner.

Famous Chicken Francaise

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2003

Better than some restaurants, especially served over angel hair or linguine. I did add a few dashes of white wine, (ok, maybe a bit more than that,:) during simmering and I thickened it with a bit of cornstarch. My husband was very impressed. I served it with a green salad and a nice white wine. So good! Thanks Paula!

Light and Fluffy Spinach Quiche

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2003

Amazing! I made this for a neighbor's first wedding anniversary brunch and they became our best friends! They couldn't say enough about it. I used sharp Cheddar cheese to give it some bite and added crumbled bacon to the layers with the rest of the ingredients. Next time, I'll try a pepper jack cheese, one with jalapenos. Ham would be a nice addition as well if bacon is too fattening. I doubled the recipe and made one for my husband and I. We ate it 3 mornings in a row. This is a hit.

Apple Dumplings I

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2003

Yummy! I made this for dessert one night for some friends and they raved about it long after it was gone. Instead of peeling, coring, and halving fresh apples, I just bought a can of Comstock apples (you can use the fresh apples or the compote) and you could not tell the difference. It came out incredible. I served it with vanilla bean ice cream. Sweet!

Tortellini Soup I

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2002

DELISH! It turned out to be more like a stew than a soup, which was just fine! The sausage gave it really intense flavor and the aroma filled the house. My husband loved it! We had enough for 2 nights plus a light lunch. I served a French Dip sandwich with it on the second night. Very filling and very good!

Italian Spaghetti Sauce with Meatballs

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2002

Yum, yum, yum! I like my sauce marinara-style, so this was perfect. I also browned the meatballs before adding them to the sauce. I make alot of it for Sunday night family dinners. My husband loves to take a meatball parmesan sub for lunch the next day, if there's any leftovers! This is a winner.

Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2002

I made this 5 minutes before my guests arrived for a party. It came out delicious. I served half of it in a pumpernickel bread bowl and the other half with lime-flavored tortilla chips. It was a hit!
