Baked Stuffed Tomatoes

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2007

I added basil and garlic to the mixture, and used bread crumbs instead of croutons, but I'm sure they would have been delicious as written anyway. Very good, and easy.

Grandma's Onion Rings (Southern Style)

Reviewed: May 11, 2007

Great! I added seasoning salt & garlic powder to the dry mix. I also didn't have enough of the flour mixture, you could probably double it. My husband (an onion ring fan) said they might have been the best onion rings he'd ever had. A bit messy to make (especially towards the end when the flour is getting clumpy) but totally worth it.

Kielbasa Cabbage Skillet

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2007

This was great! I made it exactly as written and it was really easy and delicious. I will probably increase it by about 1/3 next time to make a more filling meal, or serve it with noodles as mentioned by molle888. I'll definitely make this again!!

Stovetop Yankee Pot Roast

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2007

I really didn't enjoy the flavor of this. My husband thought it was ok, but not great (and he's not that picky). Probably just a matter of taste though.

Mini Cheesecakes I

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2007

So easy and tasty! I swirled seedless raspberry jam into 1/2 and topped the remaining plain cheesecakes with drizzled chocolate, caramel and chopped pecans after baking. They do sink in the center a bit when they cool (especially the jam ones) so make sure you have something to top them with. I followed another reviewer's advice and made the graham cracker/butter/sugar crust, however I found that 2 cups of crumbs was far too much, the crust recipe given could probably be halved.

Apple Oatmeal Crisp

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2007

This was very good. I was cooking for only two people, so I halved the recipe and split it into four cups of a jumbo muffin pan, sprayed with canola oil. I baked it for about 30 minutes but I'm not quite sure of the exact time. Being very careful when removing them from the pan (they tend to break when warm, and came out easiest if I let them cool before removing them and then reheated them individually later), they came out as cute individual desserts. I used Granny Smith apples. I also chopped up a few walnuts and mixed them into the top crust. I served it warm with the Cinnamon Ice Cream posted elsewhere on this site.

Cinnamon Ice Cream

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2007

Tasted great. I reduced the sugar a little bit and served it over the Apple Oatmeal Crisp posted elsewhere on this site. The consistency was pretty soft for the first few hours in the freezer after mixing, but I may have done something wrong since I haven't made ice cream before. Since I wanted it to melt over the warm dessert anyway it didn't really matter. I'm definitely going to try it again!

Spicy Rapid Roast Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2007

It turned out great! I added some potato, onions and carrots to the pan, sprayed lightly with canola oil and sprinkled a bit of salt and garlic on these. My 4.5 lb chicken took about half an hour longer to cook. Edited about 6 months later to add - I make this all the time and it's never failed me. The skin is crispy and the chicken is tender and never dry. I make a non-spicy version for guests who don't like spice, leaving out the paprika and cayenne and putting some rosemary, and garlic, and a bit of dry chicken bouillon mix into the rub. Either way it makes a great broth for soup the next day.

Eileen's Spicy Gingerbread Men

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2006

Great cookie, but I had to work in a lot of extra flour when I rolled it out. I halved the cloves and increased the cinnamon and they taste great. I will probably increase the spices a bit next time. My husband loved these.

Gourmet Chicken Sandwich

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2006

Great! My husband and I both loved these. I didn't have time to make the bread, so I put slices of our normal homemade white bread on a cookie sheet, sprayed them lightly with canola oil, sprinkled with garlic and rosemary and lightly broiled them.

Homemade Wonderful Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2006

Excellent. The very top didn't bake in my bread machine, but that was easily cut off. Tastes great, and different from standard breach machine white bread.

Mall Pretzels

Reviewed: Sep. 6, 2006

Great! I took some of the dough, rolled it out into long strands, and wrapped it around hot dogs before dipping in the soda water and baking. My husband said they tasted just like pretzel dogs from the mall. I didn't use parchment, just a lot of Pam, and they came off the pan fine.

Chicken Pot Pie III

Reviewed: Sep. 6, 2006

Great recipe. It's become a standard in my house. If I have it, I substitute some leftover gravy for the cream of celery soup (my husband loves it this way). I mix up the filling beforehand and refrigerate, then put it together with pillsbury crust an hour before dinner and bake. It's perfect for company because I can clean up the kitchen and leave it to bake! I add a bit of garlic and onion powder, and I've experimented with other herbs (sage and rosemary along with the thyme) but the basic recipe cooks up well every time.

Clone of a Cinnabon

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2006

I changed half the flour to whole wheat, and half the sugar in the dough to Splenda, and they still turned out beautifully. I also halved the icing and just lightly drizzled it over the top to cut down the sugar a bit more. Great recipe.

Banana Bread IV

Reviewed: May 14, 2005

Good recipe. I substituted splenda for half the sugar and whole wheat flour for some of the flour and it was still great. Makes two nice big loaves.

California Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2005

Very easy and tasty. I marinated the chicken in lemon juice, olive oil, onion powder, a bit of garlic, and cilantro. I also didn't put the tomato in the oven, I prefer the contrast of cool tomato on top of the warm chicken and cheese. I'll definitely make it again.

Surprise South Beach Mashed 'Potatoes'

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2004

I don't like cauliflower, but I really liked this. I couldn't find the fat-free half and half at my store, so I just used low fat milk. It didn't taste exactly like mashed potatoes, but it was very good and a nice addition to a phase 1 meal.

Mocha Ricotta Creme

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2004

I omitted the espresso powder and chocolate chips, and added almond extract and slivered almonds. It tasted very good, but the texture isn't great. I'm really picky about the texture of foods though, and I could still enjoy the taste despite the graininess. The almonds helped a lot. It did a lot to satisfy my sweet tooth (without making me want to eat too much!) so I will definitely make it again.
