Fusion Chili

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2011

Our family has been hosting a Chili Cook off for quite a few years at my home. Since I host it, I don't usually enter it. This year, I kept my entry a secret and out of ten Chili's ~ this one won! I agree with most that I had to add much more liquid to my taste. I added two large cans of diced tomatoes AND a large can of tomato puree. I used the entire amount of honey and even added a little bit more toward the end. I used a full can of chipolte peppers and the sauce (instead of the dried) for a real sweet/hot chili. On our table for all of the chili's that we served, we had chopped onion, sour cream, shreaded cheese, diced chili's, and jalapeno peppers. Next time, we might offer some rice or noodles for Cincinatti chili for those that want a full meal.

Braised Beef Short Ribs

Reviewed: May 10, 2011

Very good basic recipe. We have a local store that sells boneless and trimmed short ribs. I have found that these are the best. Sometimes the short ribs can just be too fatty and it makes everything a little too greasy. We added a cup of wine and a bay leaf for some extra flavor. If you're having trouble with the potatoes falling apart, use red potatoes they tend to cook better in this type of a recipe.

Lemon Chicken Piccata

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2011

This was great. I made a bit more sauce by adding a cup of white wine and increasing the lemon. I avoided adding the lemons difrectly to the sauce. I also used a wheat flour and it gave it a little more fiber. Serve with Mash potatoes to use a little bit of the sauce.

Cuban Ropa Vieja

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2010

GREAT!!!! It was the first time I've made something like this with flank steak. usually we use brisket so it was great to try something different. I used a mix of kosher salt, garlic powder, cayanne pepper and some onion flakes on the meat BEFORE browning on both sides. I deglazed the pan with some tequila and beef broth. I poured that over the meat in the crock pot and added tomato paste, cumin and a can of green chilies. Toward the end of cooking on low, I added some sazon. It was wonderful. I plan on making this dish plently of times in the future and will probably try it with a large brisket when we need feed a large group of people.

Pumpkin Turkey Chili

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2010

Ok . . Ok. . . I know the basis for rating a recipe should be more about what the overall dish is - but I have to say it is the overall idea that I thought was incredible. We had a Chili cook off and I wanted something different. If I had not read some of the other comments to spice this up, I know it would not have been as good BUT I was so impressed with the originality of the tastes that I have to give it a minimum of 4 stars. The key ingredients that I liked were Chipolte peppers (with the adobo sauce), cayanne peppers, and a touch of nutmeg .

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2010

Very good! I added a pinch of fresh nutmeg, cayanne pepper, and thyme. If you're not using some left over ham don't make the same mistake as I did - I bought cubbed Ham, but it should ahve been diced. I served it with a little shredded cheddar cheese and crusty bread.

Beef Stew VI

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2010

I only gave it four stars since I made it one time and it was too bland. This second time, I used beef broth and added two small cans of V8. The V8 gives it a little extra flavor along with a cup of wine, a tbl spoon of "Dales" steak sauce, two bay leaves, a little cayenne pepper and a little fresh ginger.

Foolproof Rib Roast

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2009

I waited a long time to try to make a rib roast - My husband and I have two completely different ways we like the meat cooked . . . him well done, and i like it med rare. So, I was a little concerned on how to do make this. It turned out great. We made a small roast, 2.5 pounds. I did the pre-cooking, let it rest in the oven for about 2 1/2 hours and then did the final cooking. I split the roast in half, and put his half back in the oven for about 15 minutes and it was perfect. I roasted some garlic and spread it around the roast. It added a great flavor for the end.

Thanksgiivng morning and I just made this stuffing. It is wonderful. The mix of the cranberries, apples and sausage is better than I expected. I used the pre-bagged stuffing cubes and kept it covered with foil. Excellent

Ice Cream Sandwich Desserts

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2008

I'm NOT a desert maker - and when I had this for a family game night, everyone was shocked. . .then they tasted it. . and they were shocked even more! I did a weight watchers version of this using their icecream sandwhiches and reduced fat whipped cream. I agree with adding the nuts - a great idea.

Dirty Martini

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2008

I started drinking these before there was a name to the drink! Hence my name on this website. However, this past weekend I went to a Martini Bar where they had a "dirty kick Martini". The kick was two drops of Tabasco! It was just enough of a kick to make you notice the tang. Give it a try! Cheers

Hot Bacon Dressing

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2008

It was very good. I was suprised by how easy it really was. For some reason, I thought that this would be more work. I added a few hot pepper flakes to give it a little zip. I made half the recipe and still had way too much. It goes futher than you think - don't drown the greens with too much dressing. I will certainly use this one again. I used the thick pepper bacon and didn't crumble it very much - I liked the added flavor. Very good - worth trying

Awesome and Easy Creamy Corn Casserole

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2007

Great recipe for many types of dinners or parties. I always add "something green". Either minced green pepper, minced jalapeno, cilantro or chives. It adds some color and flavor. Some other additions through the years have been Bacon (pepper bacon is best), some shreaded cheddar cheese, or a little bit of extra corn bread mixture on the top for crunch. In the summer time, I've used fresh corn to mix in and I always use the low fat sour cream - lastly, I've never found this to cook in less than 50-60 minutes. Give it some extra time to get a slight crust on top and check it in the middle to be sure it is cooked through and set - otherwise it is not very good. It is also great for leftovers!

Garlic Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2007

The first few times it was OK. . . Then I made them for a crowd and it was the hit of the night. It was perfect for a party. I cut and pounded the chicken into smaller sizes. My family had them as "finger" food, others made small sandwhiches, while others put a little tomato sauce over them. I made the garlic oil early in the day and let the flavor mix in with the chicken for a couple hours in the refrigerator. If you can find fresh bread crumbs from a baker, it is even better. But don't leave out the cheese, it really is what makes it taste great. (also a little hot pepper in the oil also kicks it up just a little)

It was OK, but the flavor was a little too bland. It needs something else, but I can't come up with it.

Brown Sugar Smokies

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2006

I've used chicken/Apple sausage, chicken cubes, and the regular smokies. Each are good. In fact, people seem to like it when there are choices. I have to update with some new information. I have made these several hours in advance a few times and they actually turn out better. The brown sugar may liquify, so be sure that they are really covered well. Don't worry if you're making a lot, I have yet to ever have any left over. They go over great with EVERYONE!

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2006

It's in between four and five starts for my family. I've tried this several different ways, but my most recent one went over the best. Follow the receipe (I use left over fresh chicken and the blue cheese. Even those that do not care for blue cheese still like it.) BUT, the switch is this. Take cresent rolls and cut them into thirds. Spoon a small amount onto the "fat" end of the cresent dough and roll. Bake these in the oven until brown. I used biscuits and they were good also. Just use the same basic thought . .cut the biscuits into thirds and put the dip in between the layers. Bake until brown. The dip doesn't seem as greasy this way and it is perfect for large crowds.
