Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008

This was so easy to make. I made it with Spam. It still turned out great. The only thing I plan to do different is to brown the Spam/ham first. Try this recipe with some cornbread. Great!

I made this today for Rosh Hashana. I made mine with Russian dressing. I used chicken tenders as I would have to be starving to eat thighs. Overall it is an okay recipe. I will probably make this again, esp. if I am in a hurry because it is so easy and fast.

Fabulous Wet Burritos

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2006

Oh wow! These were so good! Me and my husband loved them. The seven year didn't but no surprise there. I made a small change or two. I used salsa instead of tomato soup. I made mine up put some of the enchilada mixture in the bottom of a casserole and put the burritos in and then covered the burritos with cheese and more enchilada sauce. I baked them for about 15-20 min. at 350 degrees. Wonderful, wonderful recipe. Try these, you will not be disappointed.

French Toast I

Reviewed: May 7, 2006

This recipe was okay. I wasn't wowed by it. I used my leftover Challah bread from Shabbat. My toast was still smooshey in the center despite the outside being done. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to prevent this?

Aunt Fannie's Dinner

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2005

MMMM MMMM good! Super easy to make and super fast. Chances are you will have everything in your pantry to make this. The only changes I made was to add green chilis, diced bell pepper, brown sugar, worchestershire sauce and hot buffalo wing seasoning. I deleted the diced tomatoes and added tomato sauce only. Wonderful, wonderful recipe. Loved by all. This recipe is so easy to adapt. Go wild with it!

Sea Bass with Honeyed Apples

Reviewed: Jul. 31, 2005

I really liked this recipe. My husband was so-so. My six year old? Forget it. Anything new and he won't have it. He liked the fish though. Here are the changes I made. I don't care for bread crumbs. I used Ritz crackers. I also added some onion to my apple mixture. I think it would have been better if I hadn't added so much. (An entire Vidalia.) I wouldn't omit it all together though. I deep fried my fish. Mmmm, good! To the lady that said clean-up was a hassle. Use ziploc bags for the flour, egg and cracker dips. Then just throw them away. Good recipe.

Bacon Wrapped Hamburgers

Reviewed: May 1, 2005

Extremely good. My husband said as far as hamburgers go this would be hard to beat. High praise coming from him. My five year old loved them too. Here are the changes I made. I was out of cheddar so I used mozzarella. I didn't have Worchestshire sauce so I used A1. I broiled these in my oven. On a broiling pan at 400 for about 40 minutes which was a touch too long. Thank you Jan.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Reviewed: Apr. 20, 2005

Add a cup of tomato soup on the side and it doesn't get any easier...or better. Also, sometimes I spray my bread with non stick spray instead of butter.

Curried Chicken with Mango Rice

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2005

This was sooo good. I had several fresh mangoes on hand and needed a recipe. So where do all the best cooks go? Here of course. I didn't have any parsley or wine on hand. I know, I couldn't believe it either. I doubled up on the broth to make up the difference. The only things I would change is to add more rice. It was wonderful. I cubed my chicken as others suggested and also did the onion\garlic\ginger combo before hand. I also added more curry. Can't tell you how much because I don't measure, but I would guess I doubled the amount called for. Oh I was about to forget the most amazing thing about this recipe. My five year old ate it and LIKED it. Try this recipe.

Apple Rosemary Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2005

This made the pork tender. Of course the cut I had is usually that way anyhow. This was an okay recipe. It wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. The only things I did different was I used Fuji apples and regular syrup. I also used just plain apple cider, not hard.

J.P.'s Big Daddy Biscuits

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2004

Wow! What a great recipe! Here are the changes I made. I used butter instead of shortening. Gives a superior flavor in my opinion. Being from Kentucky I HAD to use buttermilk instead of milk. Also, don't knead biscuit dough. It makes the biscuits tougher. Just pull you off a bit of dough and pat it out. Make sure your butter and buttermilk are cold. Add your buttermilk slowly. You may not need all of it depending on the weather. Humid=less liquid. That's all I can think of. Try this recipe. It is great. Thank you so much for submitting.

Tortillas II

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2004

This was such an easy recipe to prepare. I had to use quite a bit more shortening (I used lard) than what was called for. I am not sure how much I used but I would guess 1/3C. This made the most delicate dough. Wonderful recipe. I would recommend this recipe.

Buttermilk Pancakes II

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2004

I scaled this recipe to four and it still made plenty. I didn't change a thing. Next time I will probably thin the batter a little as this recipe makes the pancakes a little too thick for us. A keeper. Thanks for submitting.

Sausage Gravy I

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2004

This recipe is really a wonderful base recipe. I found that I needed more flour than what was called for. I also added more salt. Thankfully I had plenty of bacon grease on hand as sausage generally doesn't render much. Good recipe to start with esp. if you are an experienced cook. You'll know what to do.

Angel Biscuits II

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2004

The flavor of these biscuits is wonderful. Making them is quite easy too. I think I should have added a touch more shortening. I also should have brushed the tops with butter as the biscuits didn't brown like they should. Mine also didn't rise like I thought they would. More b.p. next time perhaps. I still think this is a wonderful recipe and I will keep it and fiddle with it. One big question though...at whose house did this recipe make 24 bicuits? At mine it only made 14! :0) We like BIG biscuits.

Kathy's Award Winning Barbeque Sauce

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2004

My grill died. I wanted BBQ anyway! I tried this recipe in the crockpot. Our country ribs came out so tender and flavorful. I didn't have any molasses on hand so I used honey. I can't wait to try it with the molasses. Thanks for submitting.

Peppy's Pita Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2004

Great bread! I made this along with a curried chicken salad recipe(on this site, try it!). My bread didn't puff. Don't know what happened, it could have been the yeast I used. Possibly old. This recipe made great flat bread though! I can't wait to try it again. I don't have a bread machine so i made this by hand. A hint...roll your dough out on floured wax paper. That way when you're done just ball the paper up and throw it away.

Curried Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2004

I am so sorry that I can't give this recipe six stars! I only had one person that thought it had too much mayo. Okay, here is the very few changes I made. I only added half the worchestershire called for. I didn't have any celery so I added an extra 1/2C of grapes. Next time I will cut the grapes in half. I also added more bacon than what was called for(about eight slices). When I was baking my chicken for this I put my bacon in the oven too. Different pan though. I made my sauce first so it could sit for an hour or so as someone else suggested. Good idea! I served this with Peppy's Pita Bread (on this site). Big hit. Try both recipes.

Herbed Pork and Apples

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2004

I had a bit of a challenge with this recipe. I was only serving three so my roast was just about a lb. and a 14. I played heck with the cooking time. My apples were overdone because I guessed wrong. My apples must have been done in about a 12 hour (but I didn't know that!). If you make this recipe smaller than what the recipe calls for remember that. A fine recipe though. Different and pleasant. Any trouble I had with this recipe was purely my own which is why I still gave it five stars. My husband and five year old son loved it.
