Old Irish Scalloped Potatoes

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2012

I added slightly less butter and left them in the oven for an hour. They needed a little time to "set-up", so I left them on the counter for about 15 minutes before serving. They were really good with our corned beef on St. Patrick's Day!

Orzo with Chicken and Artichokes

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2012

Excellent. I had dribs and drabs of all of the ingredients (except pancetta, which I substituted with prosciutto and the pine nuts which I left out) in the fridge from the past week's meals. I didn't measure anything, I just winged it!!! Will definately make again. Leaving out the chicken would also make this a nice side dish!

Great basic recipe. I reduced the flour to 2 cups per another reviewer. >>> 03/02/12 APPLE MUFFINS: Added 1 cup peeled/chopped apple, 1/2 cup raisins & 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Very, very good. Next time I'll up the cinnamon to 3/4 tsp. >>> 03/06/12 DATE NUT MUFFINS: Replaced white sugar w/brown, reduced nutmeg to 1/4 tsp. Added 1 cup chopped dates (which I soaked in 3 Tb hot water), 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 cup walnuts & 1/2 cup raisins. Perfect!

Slow Cooker Bolognese

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2011

I made this for the recipe group selection of 8/13/11. I made very few changes: Browned the carrots and onions w/o the garlic, added them to the crockpot. Browned the beef/pork combo, drained the oil, added the milk and simmered until the milk was incorporated. (I felt this was an important step as I've never seen it in any other recipe!) I then added the meat and rest of the ingredients (except the cheese) plus a few shakes of garlic powder to the crockpot. Cooked on low for 7 hours, turned the temperature down to Warm and stirred in the cheese. This was definately worth the prep time. Hubby kept eating the sauce like chili (sans pasta) and asked me to put the rest in the freezer so he wouldn't OD on it....lol

Sesame Noodle Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2011

People raved about this at a party I went to this weekend. I substituted julienned carrots and peapods for the green onion, added 2 additional Tbs of sugar (per another reviewer) and toasted 1 Tb of sesame seeds. Inexpensive, easy & very tasty...

Parma-Wrapped Chicken with Mediterranean Vegetables

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2011

This was very good. I cut the potatoes rather small and put them in the oven with the herbs/spices & oil for 10 minutes. While the potatoes were roasting I cut up the rest of the veggies (I added carrots rather than the onion & peppers -- personal preference). Added them to the pan and put back in the oven for 15 minutes. The proscitto I have was rather wide so I wrapped it around the breasts without using toothpicks. Added the chicken to the pan when the veggies were done and finished baking for 20 minutes. When the chicken was done I took it out to rest & turned the broiler on to brown the veggies the way we like them!

Rice Balls ala Tim

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2011

My hubby is a rather picky eater. At first he backed off when I told him there was mozzarella cheese in them (it bothers his stomach)...but upon being told there was only 1/2 cup in all of the Rice Balls, he dug in!!! He liked them a lot! There are only two of us, so I froze them (w/o the egg & bread crumbs). This will make a future quick meal. The only "trouble" I had was that they didn't brown so I had to turn on the broiler. The next time I make them I'll form them into patties rather than balls...becase it will be easier to "flip" them so they brown on all sides.

Cranberry Nut Tarts

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2010

After reading through the reviews, I decided to follow Marie C's advice. I had to bake them a little longer (33 minutes). They were good, but I think they're missing a little something. I'll be making them again, but will probably add a little grated orange rind!

'Chinese Buffet' Green Beans

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2010

This is my husband's favorite veggie...he requests them often. Last night I made 1/2 a pound of beans (kept the rest of the recipe as is) and added some sliced up left over chicken. It was delish!!!

Artichoke Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2010

This was a hit with my company & hubby. Per other reviews I used 1/2 cup sour cream with 1/4 mayo. Garlic powder rather than garlic pepper. Topped with panko bread crumbs. When done baking I popped it under the broiler to brown. Leftovers were great nuked, then popped under the broiler once again. Hubby also enjoyed the chicken cold on a flour wrap for lunch, with a little additional parmesan.
