Dad's Magic Bar Olives

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2010
I made these for my husband & I and we both enjoyed them...stuffing/filling the olives was a little labour intensive though! I also baked half of them (in the oven at 350 for about 10 mins) & then fried the other half in a pan. The frying was definitely better (like most things are better fried!) but actually the baking was quite good too and is definitely a good, healthy alternative. I will make these again, although I did think they were going to end up tasting a bit better than they were, but still, were good. Just a side note: They are really "olive-y"...so make sure whoever eats them like olives. I make other olive balls (with green olives) that even my friend who hates olives loves & she always asks me to make them - these would be too strong for her I think...however, I love green olives so they were good for me!

English Muffin Hors d'Oeuvres

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2010
I rated this recipe 5 stars, however with a substitution: I don't put salt in it (I find with everything, it's salty enough so no salt and no garlic salt either) and instead I put a little bit of curry powder (depending on how much you like it)...but even just a little hint is delicious! & you have to put chopped black olives in the mayo mixture - sooo good! Then I just bake them in the oven normally...they also work well if you freeze them 1st. Always a hit & ppl always ask for the recipe!

Brie and Walnut Tartlets

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2010
First off, this tasted really good. 2nd off, it was super easy to make. It was so easy, that I had read the recipe a couple days before off the internet, then made it 2 days later when my internet wasn't working. I was worried at 1st but I somehow had the recipe memorized (because it's so easy) that even without the recipe, these turned out great! I made no changes..I liked the puff pastry. I used 1 of those small brie cheeses you buy at the store, the whole circle. Anyway excellent :) I am going to make it again soon. Oh the only reason I rated it a 4 and not a 5 is that mine did not turn out looking as good as the picture lol...maybe more practice with the puff pastry.

Mock Coconut Pie (Spaghetti Squash Pie)

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2012
What a crazy thing! This was so good but like most others, I was very skeptical, especially because I don't usually like squash (unless it's disguised). This was a super easy recipe to make and it tasted good too! I will definitely make it again. I only had 1 cup of squash so I just made a small batch of this (using a 3rd of everything - 1 egg, etc) and it worked fine - it was small but just for 2 people so it was fine. I also didn't have crust stuff so I put it in a dish and had it more like a casserole/pudding...I will definitely make this again but not sure if I will do the crust - it was delicious without!

Thin Mint Cocoa

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2011
This was excellent and easy to make...very delicious...I only had the baking cocoa powder and not hot cocoa mix, so that's what I used and it was excellent...have already made it 2 nights in a row.

Roast Chicken with Rosemary

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2011
This was great!! I gave it 4 stars though because I too did what it seemed like a lot of other people did: rubbed the outside of the bird with pepper and salt (I used seasoning salt), and olive oil and lemon juice and rosemary then stuffed the inside with onions, the squeezed lemons I had used, 2 garlic cloves and some more rosemary. I dumped a cup of chicken broth over it and then cooked for 2 hours on 350. I have never made a whole chicken and this was great and super easy! There was enough drippings for gravy too. Will make again for sure!

Deviled Eggs II

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2011
Good devilled eggs, but maybe not the best I've ever had...I did like the "zip" that the vinegar gave to them though...I often add relish and I think I like that better so next time I'll do this recipe but add some relish...also I added quite a bit more mayo because I like it creamy. Good recipe though and super easy!

Baked Asparagus with Balsamic Butter Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2010
This was a tasty, easy recipe. My husband & I both liked it and I will definitely make it again. I used 1 tbsp soy sauce & 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, after I had read the reviews. It tasted great this way. DELICIOUS!

Renaissance Stuffed Mushrooms

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2010
This recipe was super easy to make & everyone just loved the mushrooms! I too, had leftover filling, which was not a big deal. I just put the leftover filling in the fridge and the next day I restuffed some more mushrooms for my husband & me. We also tried dipping some tortilla chips in the leftover filling & it was DELICIOUS! I sauteed the stems with the oil mixture & then added it to the cream cheese mix & then stuffed the mushrooms. I also put bread crumbs & grated cheddar cheese on top of the mushrooms half way through cooking them so they had a delicious crusty top!! I'm definitely making this again!

Breaded, Fried, Softly Spiced Tofu

Reviewed: Mar. 25, 2012
My husband made this for me tonight & it was delicious and he said it was easy to make. We think the same batter/mix would be great on chicken also. Next time we thought we might bake it and not fry, but it was delicious!

Microwave Popcorn

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2012
I was scared to do this because I thought the paper bag would light on fire lol. But this worked really well. I followed the recipe exactly and stood the bag up (and not lied it on its side). The recipe didn't say anything about the bag positioning but other people said to stand it up. It worked really well, tasted great and was super easy to do. Will definitely do again.

Baked Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Style

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2012
The star thing on this review is not working but if it were I would give this recipe 5 stars. It was really tasty and I don't even like squash! I made it once following this recipe and than I made it once using jarred tomato sauce, olives and the cheeses - it was a lot easier this way than making my own sauce and I really liked how it tasted. I will make it again but using the jarred sauce. It is an easy recipe to make.

Home-Style Scalloped Potatoes

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2012
This was a very tasty recipe, didn't need to alter it at all HOWEVER..holy it took forever to cook like the others said...over 2hours at 350 degrees and it still could have cooked even more..I will make this again but cook or boil the potatoes maybe a bit before. Definitely will make it again though - delicious!

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2011
These are very tasty and easy to make even for me, a non-baker (I bake a little but nothing fancy). My only thing (which is why I gave it 4 stars only) is that the crumbly top didn't all bake - some of it still looked like raw flour and sugar but the muffin part was cooked so I couldn't bake them any longer...I think for next time maybe I'd put less topping on it...they tasted delicious though!

Creamy Mashed Potatoes II

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2011
I used this recipe as a base...I dumped butter, cream cheese, sour cream (and then later more sour cream) and ranch salad dressing (in liquid form, not dry mix) in with the potatoes...I ended up dumping some Italian seasoning (dry mix) in as well because I felt it needed more flavour. It did the trick! I mashed with a masher and then used a beater/mixer...it was delicious! No need to really measure as I went by taste.

Classic Thanksgiving Dressing With Parsley, Sage and Thyme

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2011
This was good! I used crutons/bread cubes because I was lazy to use the real french loaf. It worked well but I will probably use the bread next time. I made one batch and then split it, one using veggie stock and then 1 using chicken (so vegetarians could eat it). It was pretty good. I had never made stuffing before so I was impressed.

Creamy Strawberry Crepes

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2010
This was a pretty easy recipe to follow. I used my crepe maker to make the crepes which made it even easier! I didn't have icing sugar so I just used normal white sugar, which worked great. The crepes were tasty but REALLY rich...You can't have too many of them, but delicious!
