Marinara Sauce

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2011

So much for the cheap canned red sauce I usually use on pasta for an easy week night meal. This is just as quick to make and 100 times better!

This is a fantastic turkey salad recipe because it lets the turkey shine without being covered up with competing ingredients. Not having mustard / mayo mixture, I just used about 2TBS Dijon mustard and added 1/4 cup light sour cream. A bit of celery added a nice crunch. Luckily, I had some cranberry bread from Christmas, and used that. Wow! As another reviewer stated, this is a great base recipe that can easily handle a few extra add ins to suit your tastes.

Made this for Christmas morning and we all loved it. A bit rich for our tastes, but still yummy.

Slow Cooker Chile Verde

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009

I have set aside my long cooking, fairly complicated chile verde recipe for this wonderful rendition. After reading others' comments, and needing to double the recipe, I opted for half Hernandez salsa and half store brand salsa verde. Please, please don't tell anyone how easy this is!

Simply said, I tossed out my previous favorite banana bread recipe after trying this one. Yum!

Fresh Cherry Crisp

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2008

This was my first time baking with cherries, but I'll certainly try it again. Wish I had read through the comments and reduced the amount of sugar, but will do that next time. The bin of cherries from the farm stand was more than 4 cups, so I just tossed them all in. This is a CHERRY crisp after all. I wondered about the shortening in the topping, but went with the flow. Sometimes we get a bite of that shortening in the topping and it is just icky. Will keep this recipe on file but skip the shortening.

Banana Muffins II

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2008

When I had some ripe bananas and a bit of time in the morning, I went looking for a nice, simple little muffin recipe. This was perfect! After making the muffins, and eating a few, I went out to run some errands. Upon my return, they were all gone, courtesy of my teen age son. I'll call these a hit!

Three Bean Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2008

We love to keep this salad in the fridge for munching. I get the green and wax beans locally, clean them up, trim the ends, cut into 2 inch pieces, then blanch for 3 minutes in boiling water. While I do love the sweetness, I also cut the sugar down, just to hamper my "sweet veggie" guilt. This is a perfect recipe to keep around and pull out at a moment's notice.

Kalua Pig in a Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Mar. 21, 2008

As were many others, I was worried about the lack of typical slow cooker ingredients in this recipe. But, after 12 hours of cooking, followed by pulling apart the meat that was falling off the bone, and reheating in the juices, I declare it a hit! Do understand that this is not a "saucy" recipe as you may expect from something BBQ related, but it is sure some finger-licking pig!

Antipasto Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 1, 2007

I've made this 3 times this weekend, twice for pot lucks and once for our family. What a great recipe! The pasta soaks up the dressing, giving it a perfect bit of zip. I did also reduce the oil to 1/3 cup, which was plenty. More veggies than the original amounts can be incorporated here, if that is your pleasure. The mozz cheese was too much for my tastes, so I just stuck with the parm at the beginning. Enjoy!

Apple Cole Slaw

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2006

Fantastic! I'm not a big slaw fan, but had purchased the "cutest" little head of cabbage and needed to use it. I chose this recipe simply because the ingredients matched my fridge findings. Oh yum! With the crisp, sweet apples in the cole slaw, I am a convert.
