Grandma's Best Ever Sour Cream Lasagna

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2011

This was the best lasagna ever! I did change it a bit though which is why I only gave it a 4. My changes are as follows: Sauté 1 finely chopped onion, 1 shallot, 3 cloves of garlic, 2 tsp oregano & 2 tsp basil, a handful of fresh chopped parsley and salt and pepper in 2 tlbs butter. When this started to sweat I added in 2 links of chopped up hot Italian sausage (I’d rather a piece of sausage then it crumbled up in my sauce) once this was cooked through maybe 4-5 minutes I added the ground beef & cooked until it was browned. I didn’t drain the meat. Then the diced tomato’s, the tomato sauce as well as ½ can tomato paste. I cooked on low for 2 hours. I also made some really small meatballs starting by frying them and finished cooking them in the sauce. For the cheese filling I used ½ container of sour cream & ½ container of cottage cheese, 1 egg, mixed in the parm & mozza and some S&P. Baked in a 350 oven for 45min (covered) then turned the oven up to 425 and cooked for another 10-15 minutes uncovered until it as brown as you like. Let sit for 15 minutes so the cheese can set. My hubby said it was the best he’s ever had!!! It was delish!

Spaghetti and Meatballs

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2011

The meatballs had a great moist texture I did add some garlic, and next time I will add a bit more spice but they were good. THe sauce was a little to pasty for me but I think just one or one and a half cans of paste would fix that. THe sauce needs a bit of pickin up with whatever spices your family likes.

Restaurant-Style Prime Rib Roast

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2011

After years of trying and failing at Prime Rib this was amazing!!! The meat was so tender, I left the bones on the roast so it took almost 2 hours to cook a 4 lb roast. After it sat for twenty minutes i could of taken it out of the over about 15 minutes earlier as i had no med rare meat. Didn't matter though. It was awesome, I added a small amount of water to the pan when the dripping started to smoke, and I basted the roast after that about twice. I tented in tinfoil and also wrapped a tea towel over the roast. I can't wait to make again and next time I am going to load the meat with garlic cloves first. Confidence building recipe...thanks!

Dry Rub for Ribs

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2010

OMG! Best ribs ever! the only difference I made was added a pinch on dried onion. I rubbed my ribs let them rest for 2 hours, baked in a 225 oven for 3 hours and 45 minutes on indirect heat on the BBQ, last 5 minutes put it over med heat...have to watch like a hawk thought because of all the brown sugar you don't want them to burn. Instead of basting with bbq sauce I used appple sauce! They really were sooooooo good!

This was a great base. I added carrots, celery, onion,2 cloves of garlic, a bay leaf, and a pack of onion soup mix. As it thickened it turned nice and creamy. I made it at night to let it sit overnight until we gobble it up today!

Asian Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Pineapple

Reviewed: Aug. 20, 2009

This was amazing! My company and husband couldn't stop raving. I cut the chili powder and cumin to 1/2 tsp just because my company doesn't eat hot food. I added some green onions to the marinade and let the tenderloins sit in the marinade for about 4 hours, every hour I would massage the meat and flip the bag over. I cooked them on the BBQ at 350 indirect heat, on a tin foiled cookie sheet. I let them finish on the top rack over the heat to get the BBQ'D look. I served it with the chinese cabbage salad and fried rice with peppers and pinapple stirred in. Really great! I am going to mariande a whole chicken with this recipe and rotissere it! Yum.

Oatmeal Banana Nut Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2009

I found this to be a very heavy and dry banana bread, it was good but not quite what I was after. I did change some things though so maybe it was my additions. I added roasted almonds instead of walnuts, chopped dark chocolate, and 1 tsp cinnamon. I added the strusel top as a reviewer advised. taste was good, had to use lots of butter or jam!

Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Crabmeat

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2009

This was very good, made it for my husbands Grandma - she raved! I did change a few things: I subbed in red pepper flavored cream cheese for the plain, I added a small amount of chopped mushroom to the filling, subbed small shrimp for the crab, and doubled up on the garlic. I made my filling in the morning so that it had a good 5 hours to blend before I stuffed the chicken. I also did not bread my chicken I wrapped it with a thick cut piece of bacon and browned off the chicken in a frying pan with lemon pepper sprinkled on, and then finished it on a cookie sheet on the BBQ at 350. My only complaint is that I found that the filling was a bit dry, I wanted it a bit more moist so next time I am going to add some ricotta to the filling.
