Classy Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2009

this is a very good recipe, once you make it a few times. i use chicken breast tenders, add pepper and johnny's seasoning while frying, use two zucchini, and use fresh chopped up tomato instead of sundried. i also use a little less mustard than called for and a little more sour cream. i add the sour cream into the pan with the chicken, instead of serving separately. i then add a little garlic salt, which i think makes everything better! my husband and i really enjoy this meal over rice.

Hamburger Pie

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2009

I thought this was a pretty good recipe. Nothing special, but pretty tasty if you add some extra spices. I added garlic salt and pepper to my meat mixture. Only used three potatoes, then mashed them with some butter, salt and pepper. I put the potatoes on top of the meat mixture and covered the top with about twice the amount of cheese called for. I wish I would have put some cheese between the meat and potato mixture as well. In the end, this recipe just seemed to me and my husband to be another version of Sheperd's Pie. Not bad though.

Two Tier Strawberry Pie

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2009

Awesome strawberry pie! I've made it several times now and everyone loves it! I do make one change however. I use about twice the cream cheese called for and half the whipped topping...I think this makes it better.

Meat Loaf Pie

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2009

My husband and I were not crazy about this one. I thought there were too many mashed potatoes and just nothing special about it. Reminds me of sheperd's pie, but I prefer the sheperd's pie.

Stuffed Green Peppers I

Reviewed: Feb. 22, 2009

This recipe is very good! This was my first time making stuffed peppers, and everyone loved them. My husband kept talking about how good they were. I did make a few changes...I used ground turkey, cooked the rice before mixing with the meat, added extra spices (garlic, garlic salt, pepper, italian seasoning) and extra worcestershire sauce. I used four pretty big green peppers, and cut them in half before filling them. The amount of filling was perfect for the peppers. I will definitely be making this recipe over and over again.

Broccoli Chicken Divan

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2009

This recipe was very good. I did make a few changes. I steamed the broccoli and sauteed the chicken with garlic salt and johnny's seasoning. I used about three times the amount of cheese called for, used cream of chicken soup, added about 1/2 cup sour cream and mixed everything together. I put mixed cheese on top of the dish and used about twice the amount of bread crumbs (I crushed garlic and butter croutons for this). The bread crumb topping really makes this recipe!

Swedish Meatballs

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2009

These were very good, but I did alter the recipe a bit. The main thing I changed was to use ground chicken instead of beef. In this case, cooling the meat in the freezer before making the meatballs was a must! I also added a few more bread crumbs (I just crushed croutons) and added a splash of worcestershire and a couple tablespoons of sour cream. Also used chicken bouillon instead of beef bouillon. Sauce turned out very creamy and rich. My husband and I ate it over rice and egg noodles. I will be making it again.

Fire Roasted Tomato and Feta Pasta with Shrimp

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2009

Pretty good recipe. Neither me nor my husband were blown away by it, but if you like feta cheese, then you will like this dish. My only complaint is that it seemed a bit dry...could have used more tomatoes or tomato sauce.

Tender Barbecued Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2009

This recipe turned out very well. I used a whole cut-up chicken and it was totally falling off the bone. The only problem is finding the meat amongst all the bones. Very easy recipe though, and great on sandwiches the next day.

Chicken Alfredo

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2009

delicious! my husband took one bite and said "this may be my new favorite dinner"...so thats always good! i used all the ingredients, but made some changes in cooking this. i did not mix everything in with the sauce. i steamed the broccoli and zucchini separately, and sauteed the chicken and red pepper together with blackened seasoning. then i put the veggies and chicken on top of the pasta and covered it all in sauce. it really was resaurant quality!

Dark Chocolate Cake I

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008

Cake was ok. I thought it was much too crumbly, and it stuck pretty badly to the pan. I wanted a cake that was more moist and dense, so I don't think I'll be making this one again.

Chicken with Couscous

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008

I think this is my husband's favorite dinner dish. I double the veggies, so I also add a little more of the spices as well. I only add one jalepeno because that makes it very spicy. We eat it over jasmine rice and its delicious!

Carrot Cake III

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008

GREAT cake. I just made this a week ago and am already having requests to make it again. I replaced one cup of white sugar with a cup of brown sugar, and didn't change much else. The cake and frosting are terrific!

Slow Cooker Moroccan-Style Chicken and Potato Stew

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008

This was a good recipe. Not the best, but I think I will be making it regularly because my husband and I both enjoyed it. I didn't use the simply potatoes and onions, but instead diced red potatoes and an onion. Also, added extra garlic and salt. It could have used more chicken - that was my husband's only complaint.

Easy Vegetarian Red Beans Lasagna

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2008

this is a delicious recipe! i served it to a table of vegetarians, and everyone really enjoyed it. i used jarlsburg cheese though, rather than gruyere, because it was much less expensive. next time i will add an extra can of red beans, but its great as is!

Bombay Chicken and Rice

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2008

This is sooo good. I give it four stars only though, because if you cook the chicken according to the directions, it turns out too tough. I cooked this tonight, but put the chicken in the crock pot with some butter and curry for about 2 hours first. Then I laid it on the rice and cooked according to the instructions. Me and my husband love this!
