Slow Cooker Enchiladas

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2012
These were good enough to try twice, but I still felt that something was missing seasoning-wise. I will make again, but will tweak these with some home-canned jalapenos or some enchilada sauce. I used home-canned salsa, which is pretty sassy, but we felt it needed just a bit more kick. Thanks for a good recipe.

Fettuccine with Sweet Pepper-Cayenne Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2012
This was wonderful, even though I had only one red pepper on hand. Thanks for a great recipe. I made it more or less as printed. It's a nice change from marinara-type sauces.

Jamie's Minestrone

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2012
I just tried this, hoping to recreate the Olive Garden recipe. It was wonderful! I did substitute a quart of home-canned tomatoes for most of the tomato sauce, using only one small can of sauce. I only had dried oregano, but with the fresh basil, it didn't seem to matter. I used one can each of red and white kidney beans. I used organic vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth and water and omitted the green beans. I'll make this over and over! Thanks for a great recipe!

I used some of our "Fairytale" eggplant for this, and it was wonderful. Such simple ingredients, too!

North Carolina-Style Pulled Pork

Reviewed: Jul. 3, 2010
I halved this recipe, and smoked the pork for 2 hours without heat. I cooked it at about 300 degrees, covered, in the oven for about 4-1/2 hours with a little water and vinegar. The meat practically fell apart on its own, and the wonderful scent of the meat tortured my husband all day, who couldn't wait for dinner! Thanks for a great recipe!

Sweet Restaurant Slaw

Reviewed: Jul. 3, 2010
I usually make slaw a little different every time, never measuring anything. This simple recipe was one I followed, using my own shredded cabbage and carrot rather than the packaged mix. It has a great balance of sweet and sour, and we all loved it. Thanks for a great recipe!

Orange Sherbet Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2010
Growing up in the Midwest farm country, we kids were allowed to have desserts like this with meals, since they were called "salads." I continue this tradition today with my family, and my kids and guests feel like they are getting away with something. This is a simple, very tasty recipe. Remember to allow the gelatin to thicken slightly before stirring in the mandarin oranges, and they won't tend to float. Thanks for the recipe and the memories.

Garden Penne

Looking for more recipes to use up squash from the garden brought me to this recipe. Even my son, who isn't fond of squash, enjoyed this dish. Delicious! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

Annie's Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2010
Add another fan to those who love this recipe! I think I could make this every day, and it would still be a hit. I made it according to directions, and though one can substitute other fruits, this was a winning combination.Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

Reuben Dip

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2010
I'm afraid that, although I made the recipe as directed, I ended up discarding most of this dip. Few tasters like it. I may try something similar again with a few changes.

White Chili with Ground Turkey

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2010
Even my son, who does not like chili, loved this chili and asked for seconds. It's a regular on our menu now. I changed very little to suit our tastes. Thanks for this great recipe!

Rae's Vegetarian Chili

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2010
My family and I were temporarily on a strict vegan-type diet, and I was desperate to find some hearty dishes to add interest. This recipe saved us from boredom and was so good, that I make it regularly now, even after the diet is over. If you can use home-canned tomatoes, it's even better. Thanks for a delicious recipe!

Smoky Chipotle Hummus

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2010
I strongly dislike hummus and garbanzo beans, but this was fabulous. I made some using a dry hummus mix for a base, and it was wonderful. Thanks for a terrific recipe!

Easy Red Pepper Hummus

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2010
I am not a fan of hummus or garbanzo beans, but tried this while on a "Daniel fast," just hoping to find something interesting for my husband and I to try. My friends and family enjoyed it so much, I make this often. It's wonderful, even when made with an instant dry hummus mix. Thanks for a great recipe!

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Ribbon Dessert

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2010
I made this for my husband's office celebration. Though I thought it a little too sweet, there were numerous compliments and requests for the recipe. I topped it with halved Oreo peanut butter-filled cookies and drizzled melted chocolate over the top and sides. Everyone thought it was beautiful. Thanks for a great recipe!

Easter Egg Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2010
This bread had a great flavor with just a hint of cardamom. I baked it as directed, but found that the temperature given was a little too hot; the top was overly browned long before the inside of the bread was cooked. I'll try it again at a lower temperature. I used our own "chicken-dyed" eggs from our Americauna hens, and they were beautiful.

Vegetarian Haggis

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2010
I don't know a thing about traditional haggis, but we certainly enjoyed this version! I used white kidney beans because I had them on hand. I substituted tahini for the ground peanuts and omitted the egg. I used a smidgen of cinnamon and allspice in place of the mixed spice. Even with my substitutions, it was terrific. We served it as we would meatloaf, so it only served 4. It was a little crumbly without the egg, but we didn't mind a bit; others may want to use it. Thanks for a great recipe.

Gluten-Free White Bread for Bread Machines

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2010
I made this for a friend who is gluten-intolerant, and who doesn't have time to bake. Though I did not taste the bread myself, she emailed the moment she received it and called it "phenomenal" and asked for the recipe immediately! I did substitute 1/2 cup sorghum flour for 1/2 cup of the white rice flour, and substituted gluten-free potato flakes for the potato starch. The batter was fairly stiff, somewhat like a muffin batter. Using the buttermilk as called for kept the dough fairly stiff, so I did not increase the amount of liquid. I let the batter (or dough) rest in a warming drawer for about 15 minutes before spooning into the greased loaf pan. I baked it at 350 for about 45 minutes, as suggested by another reviewer. I tested it with a toothpick to test for doneness, since this isn't a typical yeast bread. My friend raved about both the flavor and the texture, which she remarked was similar to a moist quick bread. I can't wait to try some myself, even though we don't have problems with gluten in our family. Thanks for a recipe that really works beautifully!

Super Strawberry Sherbet

Reviewed: Jun. 13, 2009
I had only home-frozen strawberries, so I processed them in batches with the sugar. I added 1 pkg strawberry gelatin, dissolving it in 1 cup boiling water and allowing it to cool while processing the berries. Since the berries were frozen, it reduced the overall freezing time, and the gelatin gave it a smooth texture that was easily scooped even after a few days in the freezer. Delicious!
