Alienated Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 31, 2007

Wished I had read the reviews first. As one woman said, "This is an ugly muffin." I agree. The muffins did not rise and the berries sank to the bottom despite coating with flour. Average taste. Much too sweet and odd texture. I kept thinking I made a mistake, but after reading other reviews, I see I didn't. I was disappointed with the results. Won't make again.

Mini Meatloaves

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2006

Very tasty. Husband loved it. I made it into four loaves. I had never used oatmeal in meatloaf. It was good. Next time I'll add some grated veggies into the mix.

Chocolate Covered Blueberries

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2004

Creative idea. I had blueberries left over from a recipe so I gave it a try. I was thinking they might taste like the packaged gourmet chocolate blueberries, which are really good. They didn't. We ended up throwing these out. Not because it was bad, but if you wouldn't eat a handful of blueberries anyway, you might not like these either, even if they are covered in chocolate.

Maryland Crab Cakes III

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2004

I made these with three cans of crab. My parents loved it and my mom took the recipe home with her. We did find them to be a little salty though. Next time will cut back on the Old Bay.

White Cheese Chicken Lasagna

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2004

My husband loved this. I thought it was okay, thus the compromised 4-star rating. I didn't think the chicken added any flavor to this dish. Next time I may skip the chicken and add other veggies. Knowing how unhealthy this meal is with two pounds of cheese and a stick of butter also ruined it for me I think. I would have rather not known!

Mocha Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2004

These are fantastic!!! If you don't have a food processor DON'T use a blender like I did. What a mess; it doesn't work. Use an electric mixer. I used 1 cup sugar like others suggested. You won't miss the extra 1/4 cup. I also added an extra tablespoon of coffee like others suggested. Thanks for such a fantastic recipe. This is a real keeper.

Blueberry Cream Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2004

This is an easy recipe to throw together. I've made these twice, once with butterscotch chips and once with blueberries. They have to be the best looking muffins I've ever made. They rise really well and look delicious. But as far as taste, I've had better, these aren't bad though. I found them to be a little dry, which is surprising because they should be anything but with the sour cream.

Spanish Rice Bake

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2004

Since some people said it turned out a bit dry I used a 28 oz can of diced tomatoes. This was a good recipe. For a "one dish" meal it sure does dirty a lot of dishes though! The baked cheese makes it really good, so don't skip baking it in the oven. I didn't have cilantro. I may try this recipe again without the brown sugar. I may also substitute shredded chicken for the ground beef for something different. This meal would also be good wrapped in tortillas.

Easy Meatloaf

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2004

This was my first meatloaf and it was easy like the title said. Some people complained of it being too greasy. I used 93-percent lean ground beef and there was no grease at all after baking. I followed others' advice and added worchshire sauce, parsely and a sprinkle of ginger, and garlic powder and Lowrey's seasoned salt. I also added some carrot and green pepper. I would think this recipe would be pretty bland without some adjustments. But overall, it's a great base for creating a meatloaf to your liking. Like others, I liked the sauce, too.

Marinated Cheese

Reviewed: Jun. 19, 2004

Made this yesterday for a cocktail party where everyone brought a dish and it was gone by the end of the evening. I served on crackers, or you could stick in toothpicks and serve that way. One suggestion, make sure you have a large serving tray or it won't all fit if you are taking this with you. I had a lot of marinade left over so I used it as a salad dressing today.

Sherry Sour Cream Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 19, 2004

This was sinfully good! I took other reviewers suggestions and baked for only 40 minutes. I also added mushrooms and onions as was suggested. I put in squash as well since I had it and it was great. I served with egg noodles. Rice would go well, too.

Smushed Apples and Sweet Potatoes

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2004

I made this as an Easter side dish. My husband gives this five stars. I sprinkled brown sugar at the end as was suggested and I think that made this recipe even better.

Salmon Cakes II

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2004

These were great. I didn't have any hotsauce so I aded a bit of red pepper flakes. I also didn't put these in the fridge (didn't wan to wait!) and it worked out fine. If there are any left-overs put them in buns for lunch the following day!

Lime Chicken Soft Tacos

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2004

These were good and something different. I took the suggestions of others and used cilantro. But I forgot to take the suggestion to go easy on the black pepper. Be careful, too, to not overcook the tortillas or they'll get crispy.

Teriyaki Sauce

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2004

This was so simple to throw together. I marinated chicken in it. I then used some of the reserved sauce in my stir fry along with the chicken. This is much better than the same old boring soy sauce used in most stir fry recipes. Will make again and again!

Potato Squash Cakes

Reviewed: Mar. 7, 2004

These were very tasty and a great way to use extra squash and potatoes. To kick the flavor up a notch I used seasoned salt and I shredded a little cheddar cheese into the batter. I also used just a touch of olive oil in the pan, enough to coat. This makes a lot even when I scaled the recipe down. Tastes great reheated in microwave.

Baked Potato

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2004

I had never baked a potato before, so I was glad to find directions for doing so. It took just 60 minutes in a toaster oven. I learned this trick on how to split open a baked potato during my days as a waitress: Cut halfway through the middle of the potato, but don't cut near either end. Instead, on each end of the potato scrunch inward with your fingers (wear mits)and voila! Your potato has opened up restaurant style! As an alternative to sour cream, try cottage cheese, it's better for you and tastes great.

Creamed Beef

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2003

This recipe as is isn't bad for a quick meal when your pantry is bare. But to make it really delicious, make it the Army way, known as Army SOS: skip the peas and serve it on toast for breakfast, with a fried egg(optional) on top. Use Half and Half instead of regular milk and use beef boullion to taste instead of salt. Also add garlic and pepper to taste and don't drain the fat, as this will add flavor to the sauce. This meal, adapted from a Fort Knox mess hall recipe years ago is a tradition in our household each Christmas and Thanksgiving morning.
