Creamy Hot Cocoa

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2011

This is the cocoa my mom made, only she used all milk instead of half and half, and way less sugar. Your cocoa and sugar amounts should be the same.

Spiced Percolator Punch

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2010

This is my family's favorite Christmas drink recipe! Smells wonderful and tastes great with fudge. It gets super hot in the percolator, so let it cool a bit before serving.

Barbecue Ribs

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2010

These were pretty good. Sauce was not really to my taste, but the meat was cooked perfectly (used the oven finish). I'll try again with some tweaks to the sauce.

Reviewed: Jul. 31, 2010

This is the best seven layer dip recipe you'll find. I use store bought guacamole to save time.

Fruity Curry Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2010

Very good! I had to add more mayo, curry and salt before serving because it was dry after being in the fridge, but this is a great recipe.

Saucy Stuffed Peppers

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2010

Perfect! Just like my Croatian grandma used to make. The only thing I don't do is sautee the onions, but this is the ONLY stuffed pepper recipe we like.

I've made this recipe for years with just one can of soup and 1/2 can of water (that makes plenty of gravy for us). I've found that it's ESSENTIAL to dredge the roast in flour with salt and pepper and brown it in some oil before you put it in the crockpot. It only takes about 5 minutes and makes the roast tons more flavorful and tender.

Savory Grilled Potatoes

Reviewed: May 17, 2009

Very bland. The onions had a good flavor, but the potatoes were almost tasteless. I'll keep looking.

Hamburger Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2009

Only used 1/2 an onion, but followed everything else. It was great and made enough for at least 6 people. Thanks for a great, simple, cheap recipe!

Lime Gelatin Salad I

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2009

Maraschino cherries are a must... they add a beautiful color that's especially nice at Christmas.

California Cole Slaw

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2008

This is a great vinegary slaw. Just don't substitute balsamic vinegar like I did unless you like it to be an icky brown color. Tasted great, though!

Mondi's Super Simple Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2008

Great, easy recipe for baked chicken. I added a few sprigs of fresh rosemary under the skin and it smelled and tasted fabulous!

Pork Chop and Cabbage Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2008

We enjoyed this. I covered with it with foil for 1 hour and cooked it for another 10 minutes to let it brown a litte, and the pork chops were very moist and tender. I added salt and pepper to taste, but might add a little rosemary next time. I used cole slaw mix with carrots instead of just cabbage as a short cut and to add some color.

Dad's Kentucky Home Fries

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2007

I cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes first, then add the onions and peppers and cook for another 10 minutes... it keeps the onions from burning.

Deviled Eggs I

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2007

I prefer prepared mustard over mustard powder, but this is the perfect good old fashioned recipe. A sprinkle of dill weed on top is also great.

Swiss Chicken Casserole II

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2007

Love this recipe! I use cream of mushroom soup and cornbread stuffing mix. Make sure to add enough milk to ensure that the stuffing is nice and moist... if it's crunchy when you put it on top it will stay hard and crunchy.

Cathy's Creamy Chicken Bake

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2007

I use 1/2 cup milk instead of wine in this recipe because I don't like the flavor of white wine. I also use a whole box of cornbread stuffing instead of just one cup. It's definitely easy, great comfort food.

Easy Sausage Strata

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2007

Made this for Christmas breakfast and it turned out great! I might keep some cheese to sprinkle on top next time, but other than that I wouldn't change a thing.

Restaurant-Style Hashbrown Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2006

I've tried several hashbrown casserole recipes, and this is the best. I like to add a little milk or sour cream just to keep it from being too dry, but it is an awesome recipe just the way it's posted here.
