Wish there were more stars!!! Kept going back for more and more! I used everything listed except bell peppers (didn't have any). I also added a can of diced tomatoes and a small can of roasted garlic tomato sauce (the small can). Also, I put the chicken in raw and added extra water (eyeballed it) and put in a bay leaf and let it all simmer for about 30-45 minutes or so (to fully cook the chicken). Also I used hot sauce instead of Tabasco sauce. I used the Louisiana One Drop Does It Hot Sauce. Can we say YUMMMOOOO!!! I'd even add shrimp and/or sausage, it'd go in great I'm sure. I'd also add celery too like many reviewers say, I'm sure it'd be good in this too! My 5-yr old lil girl neighbor tried it and loved it! When she went home, she told her parents and the father came back asking to try, of course I wanted to share and oblige! I'm sure they'll enjoy!! GREAT RECIPE and SO EASY to make!

Lemon Icebox Pie III

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2009

OMG! My fam went crazy for this recipe! I used 2 cans of condensed milk instead of one, and I used the lemon juice from the bottle in lieu of fresh lemons (I just added and tasted until it tasted right to me). Also, I used a homemade/self-made graham cracker crust: crunch up graham crackers, mix in sugar and melted butter, and put into container that mix is going in and line it up all up the sides. They think I went through exhaustive measures for this icebox pie, but it was SO EASY to make! Def new fam fav tradition!

Easy Chicken Tetrazzini

Reviewed: May 6, 2009

This was pretty good. I took other reviewers advice and "doctored it up" a little bit. I chopped my chicken up before boiling, then I boiled my chicken in water with a few chicken bouillon cubes, garlic powder, a little bit of minced garlic (that comes in the jar), onion powder, chicken seasoning, italian seasoning, lemon pepper, and regular pepper. Then I strained it from the water. I also boiled my spaghetti noodles in water with chicken bouillon cubes for extra flavor and right before I put a lil salt into the water for flavor. While the noodles were boiling I took a can of carrots and diced them up. Then I strained the noodles and lay them in the casserole dish 9x13. Then I took a can of cream of chicken and a can of cream of mushroom and some milk and heated it on the stove. As it almost began to boil I added the can of carrots that I'd diced and a can of peas (I drained the juice off first). Note-I thought I had regular peas, but after I'd opened and poured that I'd gotten the ones with the mushrooms and small pearl onions. But it was ok I think it added to the flavor of the dish as a whole. Then I added a little shredded cheddar, a lil shreeded mozarella, and a lil shredded parmesean cheese to the sauce mix. Then while that was going I chopped up the chicken a little bit more so there wouldnt be huge chunks in my casserole, and spread the chicken across the noodles. Then I poured the sauce over it all and spread it out evenly ad topped it all off with shredded chedd

Aunt Fannie's Dinner

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2009

This was pretty good! I didn't use the exact measuring units per se, I just adjusted to what I thought looked/tasted right (I like to think I'm some super cook lol)! My friends came over and they enjoyed it. I took the advice of everyone else and tweaked it to my liking. I didn't have shredded cheese or anything so I went 'old school' used american cheese slices. After it was all in the pot together, I put half the mixture into a casserole dish and took three slices of cheese and split them in half and put them on top, then I spread the other half of the mixture on top and did the same thing again with the cheese. Then I put the whole dish under the broiler for about 3 to 4 minutes, just enough for the cheese to melt. Then I took it out, and voila, dinner was served! I served it with grated Parmesan cheese and couldn't stop eating it. I went back for seconds, and thirds.....

No Sour Cream Beef Stroganoff

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2009

This was okay. I tried it bc I wanted to do something with ground beef other than lasagna or spaghetti or meatloaf. But I didn't have sour cream, thus I used this recipe. I used ziti pasta. I'd make this again, but its nothing to write home about.
