Aunt Millie's Broccoli Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2012

I followed other reviewers and added an extra can of cream of chicken, plus about 1/4 c of milk. I also tossed in a handful of crumbled bacon, and used Ritz crackers plus shaved Parmesan for the topping. This is a great comfort food.

Baby Greens with a Warm Gorgonzola Dressing

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2012

I used goat cheese because the grocery was out of gorgonzola. I also added one thinly sliced shallot to the mix. I also doubled the amount of sliced almonds for extra protein. If I make this again, I will probably cut the sugar in half as I do not favor sweet salads.

Marinade for Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2011

This is the perfect chicken marinade. If you cut the recipe to 16 servings, that's about right for a 4 lb butchered bird.

Quinoa with Mushrooms

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2010

I made this one according to the instructions (with a slight embellishment on the cheese and added pepper to taste). I had no problem with the liquid to dry ratio nor cook time. It's an earthy tasting dish, which is great for a comfort food that is very high in protein. I only gave it three stars because it wasn't the kind of slap-you-across-the-face deliciousness that I have found in other recipes on this site.

Brown Sugar Smokies

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2010

I served these at a party and the group went wild for them. These were more popular than the gourmet cheeses and expensive wine. Go figure. When I made them, I put 5-6 on wooden skewers, then simply cut the skewers into mini-sized toothpicks when filling the round heated serving dish. I have a convection oven and set it to convect-roast to ensure the bacon would brown.

Best Beef Dip Ever

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2010

I followed the recipe exactly. Used some home-made milk bread to dip the sandwiches into the juice. Double yum. Will be making this one again for sure.

Butternut Squash Soup II

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2010

Needs the 1/2 tsp cinnamon, dash of nutmeg, a splash of brandy, and pepper to taste. Sour cream at the end rounds it out.

Caramel Macchiato Cheesecake

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2010

I gave this recipe four instead of five because I think the coffee taste could be stronger. I used bold instant coffee and doubled the manufacturer's amount (which came out to be 1/2 tsp for 1/4 cup). Next time I will add 1 tsp for 1/4 cup. You absolutely must use a water bath with HOT water when you put it in the oven (I heated a tea kettle and placed the cake plus pan on the oven rack then poured the hot water into the pan in the oven). I did not have a spring form pan with me, so I used a traditional cake pan with these modifications: cut a circle of wax paper and placed it at the bottom below the crust, sprayed the sides with non-stick baking spray, after baking and counter-cooling I sprayed some plastic wrap with non-stick baking spray then covered the cake, after chilling I then used a tray + plate to flip the cake out and then flip it right-side up and gently remove the plastic wrap. The cheesecake came out beautifully. No cracks, no sinking, no browning.

Pasta Bake

Reviewed: May 23, 2010

This is so simple to make. I was originally confused by what kind of pasta mostaccioli is--turns out it's penne, but when I was at the grocery nobody knew what that was so I ended up with campanelle (which was the frilly-est one available). I liked the extra twirl over penne. I added one packet of Good Seasonings Zesty Italian when cooking the meat, and used 4oz of fresh mushrooms instead of canned. I put 1/2 the cheese on top. I also used a Corningware deep white circular dish and kept the glass lid on until the last 10 min of cooking. This kept the edges moist and let the cheese brown at the end.

Quinoa Tabbouleh

Reviewed: May 22, 2010

I added about 1 tsp of cumin and 1/2 tsp of pepper. It gave the tabbouleh the warmth needed and leveled out the lemon.

Corn Tortilla Quiche

Reviewed: May 2, 2010

You can use anything for the meat--ground beef, quartered mushrooms, etc. I love this one. So easy to throw together. I will say though, I used a thick pie pan and it took an extra 25 min to cook thoroughly.

This roasted soup tastes warm and earthy. It smells amazing when roasting, too. Great low-sodium low-fat meal.

Krystal's Perfect Marinade for BBQ or Grilled Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2010

I just eyeballed this one (didn't measure anything out perfectly) and it turned out great! I know some people commented that the sugar was too much. I did not pack the sugar, and went a little easy on the scoop. I found the sweetness to be just right

Easy Cheesy Chicken I

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2010

I read many of the reviews, and decided to try this recipe as-is. I have to say that it was an appropriate dish for kids maybe 10 and under, but not for me and my boyfriend. It was bland and boring. I will not be making this one again.

Sarge's EZ Pulled Pork BBQ

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2008

I followed the recipe exactly as directed, and was surprised at how well it turned out. It really doesn't need all the extras other reviewers have included. I'd do this one again and again for a delicious and reliable standard chicken.

Lazy Katie's Taco Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2008

I cooked the beef in taco seasoning, then made a layered taco salad. It was good, but not great. I don't think I'd serve it to guests, but for a tortilla chip lover such as myself, it was good for a quick afternoon snack.
