Caramel Apples

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2012
I bought my carmels in bulk, so used 2 cups as another reviewer suggested. I also went out and bought a 4 cup glass measuring cup to melt the caramels in. It is the right sized container to really get the apples down in to get them coated. I found my last apple did not have a lot of caremel left for it, but these were really good. I did refridgerate my apples for the day first too.

Chocolate Brittle Surprise

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2012
Great receipe as is, but I prefer to use graham crackers instead of saltines. So yummy. Because of so many nut allergies, I now use crushed candy canes instead of nuts. I also do not spread my chocolate chips. I prefer how they look with whole chocolate chips. I also do not use foil- tried it once and could not get the foil off the brittle.

Baked Potato Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2012
Wonderful, wonderful soup! I used other reviewers suggestions and this turned out perfectly. I doubled the amount of potatoes and left the skins on. I used 1% milk instead of cream, so added 1 extra Tbsp of flour. I halved the amount of basil. I did not have hot pepper sauce, so subsituted about 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper. I also used 2 cloves of garlic and a full tsp of pepper. Garnished with cheddar cheese, bacon and dollp of fat free sour cream. BIG hit with the family!

Dash's Donair

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2012
My family loved this! It was just the right amount of spicey. Recommend you definitely throw and knead the meat according to the receipe. You will end up with a loaf that has the texture of donair meat and is easy to slice. Don't forget to let the loaf stand for 10 min after cooking to make the slicing even easier! Also recommend you chill your sauce to get that real donair experience and definitely garnish with lots of chopped onions and tomatoes. Also suggest to heat your pita before assembling donair (stack in microwave with a damp paper towel covering them and heat until warm). You could also add warmed up sliced pepperoni with the meat. We are having donair pizza tonight with the leftovers (I will definitely add pepperoni to the pizza to make sure there is enough meat). Absolutely YUMMY!

Ice Cream Sandwich Desserts

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2012
So wonderful and simple, but makes a fancy looking dessert! Who dosn't love icecream sandwhichs? One piece of advice. Only take one or two icecream sandwhichs out of your freezer at a time. They melt quickly and are much easier to handle when not too soft.

Fluffy Pancakes

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2012
Best pancakes I have ever made! So light and fluffy. I followed the receipe exactly. So easy to sour the milk instead of having buttermilk on hand. I added chocolate chips to some of them for the kids - the pancakes hold up to additions like this very well.

French Onion Soup Gratinee

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2012
So yummy!! If you don't have bowls that can go in the oven, put your bread on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with whatever cheeses you are using. I often only have mozzerela and parmesean. Broil the bread and cheese until nicely browned & bubbly. You can then transfer a slice of cheesy bread to the top of each bowl of soup. A handy alternative to buying oven proof onion soup bowls!

Catherine's Spicy Chicken Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 28, 2012
Really delicious and easy! I only used 4 large chicken breasts. I cooked the onion and garlic in the olive oil. Removed it and then browned the chicken a bit on both sides. I then returned the onion & garlic to the pot and cooked the chicken in 4 cups chicken broth for an hour (rather than water and boullion. I only used one can of tomatos - that was plenty. Add all the other ingredients and cook for another 20-30 minutes. Save the sour cream for the top. I found the recommended amount of seasoning was perfect- spicey but not too hot.

Glazed Meatloaf II

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2012
Great receipe. Very similar to the one I have been using for years. I omit the lemon juice & use 2 tsp mustard instead of the mustard powder in the glaze. I also double the glaze receipe and keep half of it to heat up in a saucepan to drizzle over the slices of meatloaf - soooo good! I prefer to use a package of onion soup mix instead of the boullion, but either will do. I will also add a tsp of Worchester sauce if I have it.

Mom's Best Pork Chops

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2013
Very crunchy. Great texture. A little bland though. I would increase the spices quite a bit next time around.

Chef John's Caramel Apple Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2012
Quite an easy pie! I used the Pillsbury crust, and it tasted really great in this receipe. Do the lattice he shows in the video. Easy and pretty! My son loved this pie. I added 2 extra apples and extra cinnamon (about a tbsp). My only complaint was that the pie was very runny. I cut a few pieces and then drained off about 1/2 at least of liquid from the pie plate before I retuned it to the fridge. Perhaps I did not boil the caramel sauce long enough. I think the pie was fully cooled. I would make this again, but I think I might add a couple of tbsp of flour in with the apples to thicken things up a bit.

Cape Breton Blueberry Grunt

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2012
A good receipe, but this is not a grunt. Grunts are cooked on top of the stove and the dumplings are steamed in the pot.

Mexican Casserole

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2012
This was okay. The chips are all mushy. I think it would be better to make the sauce, sprinkle with some cheese and then break up some nacho chips on the top as you serve it. Don't think I will make this one again.
