Sunday Chops and Stuffing

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2012

I would give this 4.5 stars. It's very, very good, but to make it even easier, dump a can of apple pie filling (even sugar free or reduced sugar) in a 13x9 pan, place browned chops on top, then top with prepared instant stuffing. Usually I'm a big fan of making everything from scratch but in this case you can save yourself a lot of work and get results just as good.

Papa's Vinegar Chicken

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2011

I loved it! Don't be intimidated by the vinegar, it actually ends up with a mild flavor. I didn't have quite enough vinegar on hand so I made up the difference with apple juice. Also cut the salt down to 1 tablespoon. It does have a very strong odor when boiling so keep a window open. Next time I may try boiling it on my grill's side burner - no smell in the house and I can transfer it right over to the grill when it's done boiling.

Juicy Marinated Steaks

Reviewed: Jun. 27, 2011

I have been trying several beef marinades this summer, looking for one that we liked. I can finally stop looking, this is it! I did make a few minor changes. I don't keep onion or garlic salt on hand so I used onion powder and minced garlic. I also used fresh herbs for the dried. Hubby said, "if you keep cooking like this, we'll never go out to eat again." Thank you!

Jacky's Fruit and Yogurt Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2011

I love blueberry muffins but I never eat them because of the calories and fat. I was so excited to find this recipe. I made this exactly as written but like others I had to add a couple tablespoons of milk just to get the flour to incorporate. (The batter was thicker than cookie dough) They came out extremely dense and moist with a fairly flat, sticky top. I would've liked them to be a little less moist and dense but they were pretty good and I will make again. Since I was the only one eating them, I froze some and they do freeze very well.

Campbell's Kitchen Beef Stroganoff

Reviewed: May 26, 2010

I've been using this recipe for years. It's a great stand by, quick weeknight meal, and good comfort food. The only thing I change is the cream of mushroom soup, I'm allergic to mushrooms so I substitute cream of chicken or celery or whatever I happen to have on hand. Dried minced onion can be substituted for the onion (this also cuts down the prep time if you're in a hurry)

Oven-Fried Pork Chops

Reviewed: May 9, 2010

I was amazed that something so simple could taste so good. This was fantastic! I usually try to make a recipe as written the first time I make it but I was running low on breadcrumbs so I ended up using half breadcrumbs and half crushed Ritz crackers. I also did as some previous reviewers suggested and coated with flour before dipping in the egg. I seasoned the flour with McCormick Perfect Pinch for chicken. Great flavor! Will definately be making on a regular basis.

Pretzel Chicken Chunks

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2010

Excellent! Different than regular cracker or breadcrumb coatings. For those complaining of chewy or soggy coatings, it will be crispier if you use the thick, hard, sourdough pretzels. Regular pretzels will absorb too much liquid.

Southwest Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2010

Fantastic weeknight meal. I printed this awhile ago but hadn't tried it yet until this past week. We were particularly busy and I was looking for something quick. Didn't really change anything except I cut the chicken into bite size cubes to make it cook quicker. Also seasoned the chicken with some mexican seasoning before cooking and used frozen corn instead of canned (just what I happened to have). Thanks will definately make again!

Taco Seasoning I

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2010

I have tried several recipes for taco seasoning and something was always missing. This recipe is it! If you prefer mild seasoning start with just 2-3 teaspoons of seasoning per pound of meat. If you like it spicy, I would use 2-3 Tablespoons. Thank you for the recipe. I'll never buy packaged seasoning again!

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2009

Let me just say that I HATE baking. :) I don't have the patience so I hardly ever do it and I'm not very good at it. But it looks like I may be doing it more often. I just made these cookies and my husband ate 4 in the first 10 minutes out of the oven. He swears they're just like the best bakery cookies he's ever had. I followed the recipe exactly except I used 2 Tablespoons of vanilla. I used parchment paper on the cookie sheets (easier clean up), an ice cream scoop worked really well in measuring them out. I did refrigerate the dough for an hour or two before baking. The First batch came out perfect, they looked like a magazine cover. The other ones that had more time to come to room temperature didn't look as nice and spread out more. So my only tip would be to keep the dough in the fridge until you're ready to put it in the oven.

Chicken Fried Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2009

Pretty good for a week night meal. I used boneless skinless breasts, that was the only ingredient change and I started them out in the skillet but then transferred to the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes (like another reviewer- I am also afraid of undercooking chicken). Will make again, maybe with a little more seasoning salt or pepper next time. I think this coating would make excellent chicken fingers.

Puerto Rican Pork Roast

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2009

This was unbelievable! I added white vinegar at the suggestion of other reviewers and I used a 2 pound piece of tenderloin because that's what I had on hand. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. My husband (who is Puerto Rican) loved, loved, loved it. Said it was great and totally authentic. Will definately be making again and again.

Yummy Pork Chops

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2009

My husband (who LOVES pork chops) didn't like this at all. I used zesty italian and low sodium soy sauce after reading some of the other reviews. Not a good flavor combination. Sorry but won't be making this again.

Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2009

My husband loved this. I thought is was ok but based on the other reviews I was expecting more flavor. I didn't realize I was so low on Dijon mustard so I ended up using half dijon and half regular yellow mustard. I will make again and follow recipe exactly.

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2009

Made this twice now. The first time I used tenderloin and it was unbelievable! The second time I used a cheaper cut and didn't really like it - it seemed less flavorful, almost greasy and didn't like the fatty texture. The leftovers ended up in the trash since no one wanted to eat them. I have to disagree with those who say a cheap cut is just as good. I think the tenderloin makes it a five star recipe not to mention it's healthier with tenderloin.

Restaurant-Style Chicken Scampi

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2009

Loved it! Easy and flavorful. Only made one minor change - I didn't have any alfredo sauce so I used one of those dry mixes in the envelopes.

World's Best Lasagna

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2009

Very good but I wouldn't say it's the best. I left out the fennel (I can't stand fennel) and also left out the onion - I don't know, i like onion but to me it doesn't belong in lasagna.

Taco Bake II

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2009

Very good! We were craving tacos but didn't have taco shells or tortillas, his dish satisfied the craving! I scaled it down to fit an 8x8 dish since it's just the two of us. Other than that the only thing I changed was I forgot to put in the sour cream so I just served it with a dollop on tops and garnished with sliced green onions. Will definately become a regular in the menu rotation!

Biscuit Pizza Bake

Reviewed: May 20, 2009

Love it! And it's a great way to use up odds and ends (peppers, olives, sausage, pepperoni, whatever you have). For everyone who thinks the biscuits were not done or need to be pre-baked - try baking the casserole at the temperature indicated on the package of biscuits. he package I used said 400 so that's what I baked it at and it came out perfect!
