Just made this to put over an ice cream pie....won't be doing that tonight! Too soupy...maybe it will thicken up overnight in the refrigerator. I followed recipe exactly...next time I will reduce the sugar. Too sweet for my taste. Mine did not come out grainy at all. The last recipe I made (different recipe) was very grainy. This onoe I did over double boiler and gradualy added sugar and I believe that made the difference. Very smooth and rich. Looks like it will be good over an angel cake. Not sure about the ice cream pie!

Bacon Cheese Frittata

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2011

Why anyone would make quiche anymore is beyond me! No fattening, soggy crust and easy still doesn't describe this frittata! New Years Day brunch made easy....overnight french toast, a bacon and scallion frittata, a tomato, mushroom and leek frittata, spiral ham, sour cream coffee cake and easy company potatoes! Yum!

Rosemary Zucchini Sticks

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2010

I have made these two times now to rave reviews!!! So easy to make it ahead of time to have ready or bring it to a party (both times I brought to a barbecue) pop it in the oven when you get there and they're piping hot. I used both marinara sauce and horseradish sauce...yum! I took someone's advice and dipped them first in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs with tons of fresh rosemary. I may try string cheese next as everyone thought they were mozzarella sticks...love recipes that keep the fat down by baking.

Baked Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2007

Wish I'd taken a picture....these potatoes were pretty as a picture and they tasted even better! Everyone loved them. Because they were baked it ony took a half hour. They were just golden brown and piping hot. I sprinkled chives into mixture as I beat in the cream cheese and a little paprika on top right before I popped them in the oven. These will be a family favorite!

Winter Root Vegetables

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2007

Easy preparation....I cleaned & chopped up the veggies,except for the bsprouts, Christmas Eve & put them in bags ready for the next day. As I already had a potato dish planned I didn't add the red potatoes... Next time I would make a little more sauce, but they were simply delicious and easy to prepare while the meat was sitting. Will try roasting them the next time with garlic & red onions. Delightful change from the typical holiday veggies. I also had 2 lbs of beans with lemon & almonds just in case someone didn't care for root veggies.

Stuffed Crown Roast of Pork

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2007

This was the easiest holiday menu ever. Roast practically prepared itself. First time sausage/pork stuffing got rave reviews! More meat than I expected (got nervous and cooked a turkey breast too, just in case!)Meat was deceiving - only 10 bones, but more than enough meat for 14 people. Butcher should have explained how much add'l meat was there in addition to the chops. All my recipes came from Allrecipes and were wonderful! Root vegetable mix, holiday baked mashed potatoes, special cranberry relish ....just wonderful. Yes, I took a chance trying new recipes on a holiday for 15 people, but I'd read each one thoroughly including reviews & comments and picked out really good recipes. It had been over 25 years since I'd attempted a crown roast...sorry I waited so long!!! Thank you everyone for making my holiday cooking so easy, interesting and successful.
