Tasty Tuna Burgers

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2012

I agree with all the reviewers who said this recipe was very forgiving. I had no celery salt (subbed celery salt), no onions (subbed onion powder), skipped the bell pepper completely, plus doubled the tuna, egg, and breadcrumbs, and didn't even SEE the mayo til they were already frying up. Didn't need it, put these in the fridge for a few minutes and they browned up with a surprisingly turkey-burger-like texture. Great in buns, with frozen tater tots and a salad!

After-Thanksgiving Turkey Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2011

really good! my only complaint would be that as the soup cools off, it got a little curdled looking...possibly I did something wrong, but I followed the recipe. However, regardless of that fact, the taste was really good and not at all like a typical soup that I would normally make. My kids and my husband all loved it.

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2011

Made this tonight, everyone loved it! I read the reviews and made a few adjustments based on the recommendations. I sprinkled the fillets with Old Bay on both sides before cooking, and also cut the amount of butter to just less than half (about two tablespoons), and it was plenty. I didn't have a problem with the cheese mixture sliding off...there was a reviewer who mentioned that, but I left my mixture at room temperature until using it, so maybe that makes the difference. My husband has already asked me to make it again soon, thanks for the great recipe!

Tater Tot Casserole II

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2011

This was SO GOOD. Kids weren't too thrilled when they heard what we were having for dinner, but they did a complete 180 once they tried it. I followed the recipe, but wanted to turn it into more of a meal, so I added a pound of ground beef (browned it and sprinkled it on top) and mixed in a can of green beans with the soup, sour cream, and cheese. Came out fantastic, I think my kids will be asking for this one regularly.

Black Beans and Rice

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2011

Only reason I didn't give this five stars is just because of the modifications I made to it. I read several reviews and added a (drained) can of roasted dice tomatoes, chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, a can of corn (also drained) and smoked turkey sausage. I cooked the garlic and onion for a few minutes, then added the sausage, then everything else, including the beans and rice. Cooked it covered on low for about a half hour and it came out GREAT. Did not change any of the seasonings, just added a tiny bit of salt. Very good, filling, healthy, easy, and cheap!

Butter Roast Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2010

I didn't change anything to the basic recipe except I didn't have the full amount of butter on hand, so I used slightly less. I did put baby potatoes, baby carrots, and a cut up onion on the bottom, then layered the chicken on top. I used the cut chicken pieces, and I did baste it with the juice it made a couple of times during cooking. Took an hour and a half and it was amazing...simple, and a complete meal!

Blackened Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2009

Tried this tonight, it was FANTASTIC! A little spicy for my 7 year old, but everyone else loved it. I doubled it and used thin cut chicken breasts...don't have a cast iron skillet, so I just got a regular nonstick pan super hot, fried four of them together for a minute on each side, then put them on the cookie sheet in the oven for ten minutes. When I pulled them out of the oven to check them for doneness, they were like BUTTER :) Served them sliced on a simple salad with fat free ranch dressing....soooo good!

Ratatouille Bake

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2009

Made this last night...unfortunately, the eggplant I bought earlier in the week didn't make it, but I used all he oher veggies and a can of fire-roasted tomatoes, kept everything else the same. It was great, we all loved it! Thanks for the recipe!

Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Reviewed: May 11, 2009

My 15 year old son found this recipe and made it for my Mother's Day breakfast, including the cinnamon honey butter syrup. They were FANTASTIC, including the cinnamon honey butter...but just a little drizzle works, and I'm sure they would have been almost as good without it, but what a great special occasion breakfast it made!

Fluffy Cheesecake Dessert

Reviewed: May 11, 2009

My son found this recipe and made it for me yesterday for Mother's Day. I have to say I had my doubts when I saw the marshmallows as an ingredient...I thought it would be WAY to sweet. It wasn't. I thought it came out perfect...light and fluffy, the crust was the perfect compliment, and the amount of juice was just right to give it that little tang that a real cheesecake has. What an easy and delicious substitute for regular cheesecake!

Stuffed Mushrooms II

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2008

I found this recipe by doing an ingredient search...it was as close to how I remember my mom doing her stuffed mushrooms as I could find, but I did make a few changes. I took the mushroom stems and chopped them finely, then only took about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of stovetop stuffing (I had a can of it, so that made it easier...plus I put it in a baggie and crushed it a little finer) I fried up the chopped stems in a little margarine, then added the crushed stuffing mix, then added a couple of shakes of parmesan cheese. The liquid from the cream of mushroom soup is enough to make the stuffing 'stick', and these came out fantastic.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies III

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2008

These were SO deliciously addictive! My only warning would be that by no stretch of the imagination could this recipe only make '12 servings'...I read that, and since I was making these for my 1st grader's Halloween party, I decided to double it (from other reviews I read, I didn't double the cinnamon, only put in slightly more than the single recipe called for, and I also followed another reviewer's advice and used chocolate mini-chips, both of which worked great). Anyway, I ended up with probably 80 cookies of various sizes...some about tablespoon sized (for the kids party), some about twice that size, and some that were about as large as my palm...they all came out to the same cake-like consistency, which I loved! My kids thought they were like a cross between a cookie and a muffin. Oh, also, I did as another reviewer suggested and added a couple drops of red food coloring to make the cookie dough a little more orange. Fantastic recipe, I'm sure these will be asked for a few more times before the end of the year!

Marinated Ranch Broiled Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2008

Just made these last night, followed the recipe exactly (using thin cut chicken breasts, so I shortened the broiling time just a little) and they were a huge hit! Extremely easy, tasty, and very little cleanup if you line your broiling pan with foil before cooking. Thanks for the great recipe!

Tzatziki Sauce

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2007

The flavor of this sauce was great!! Unfortunately, the night I made it, I forgot to read over the reviews, and I forgot to either drain the yogurt or add it last...the sauce ended up very thin and runny, but the flavor was so good that it didn't make any difference to me (other than it didn't 'stick' to my souvlaki well enough) I will definitely make this again and try adding the yogurt at the end.

Penne with Mushrooms

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2007

I made this last night for dinner and my husband and kids loved it, even the picky five year old. The only thing I changed was the type of pasta- I used cheese tortellini instead of the penne pasta, and it was still great! Very easy and tasty!

Ham Chowder

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2006

This was great! I was browsing for a recipe for my leftover Christmas ham, and I just happened to have all the other ingredients on hand (even a leek!) The only thing I modified (besides using a little less of most of the veggies and bacon than the recipe called for, but only because I didn't have on hand as much as the recipe called for) was to follow the other's advice for cutting down on the rosemary. I use crushed rosemary, and two teaspoons was plenty...still had the flavor, but it wasn't overpowering at all. I had enough to feed five of us tonight, and froze the other half for another cold night when I don't have time to cook. This is a keeper!

Best Egg Rolls

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2006

I worked in a chinese restaurant in college, and I could tell by the recipe that these were very close to the one's we used to serve. Turns out I was right, these taste identical! I forgot the peanut oil, so I mixed canola and sesame oil (next time I'll do it right), and they were fantastic. A little time consuming, but not too bad, especially since I'm an 'experienced' egg-roller =) The only thing I did differently was that I boiled the cabbage for about 3 minutes before rolling, just to soften them up a tiny bit. They were great!

Monkey Bread V

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2006

YUM! Made this on a night when we had all our kids home at one time (all 4 of them) and it was gone about 30 minutes after it came out of the oven. A little time consuming with getting all the biscuit pieces covered in the cinnamon sugar, but think of all the calories you burn while making it!! Probably almost enough to justify that 2nd serving...

Restaurant-Style Zuppa Toscana

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2006

This really reminded me of a soup I had once at an italian restaurant. It was easy to prepare (my smoked sausage was pre-cooked, but I warmed it up before putting it in the soup). I think it would be perfect on a cold night, with a loaf of crusty bread and a salad. Mine came out just a tad too salty, but I think it was my fault...I used chicken bouillon, next time I will use actual broth instead, because I think the smoked sausage gives the soup a lot of salty taste, too. I may try this in the crockpot this fall, just so it's ready when I get home from work. Great recipe!!
