Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2008

This recipe was simple and very good. I baked 4 chicken breasts in the slow cooker on a spiral of foil and drained the liquid and fat. This brought the weight down to just about a perfect pound. I used two cans of chicken broth and no water. I used a teaspoon od dried cilantro and then served with fresh cilantro instead of adding to the crock pot. Next time I make this I will use a larger oval crock pot. I made this in the 4 Quart size and it was a bit fuller than the pot should have been so I cooked it extra hours.

Slow Cooker Bananas Foster

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2008

This is an excellent recipe. I have used it over and over for everything from our family dinner to large parties with multiple bached prepared. I have never had the banans turn out mushy as described by one reviewer. I have always made it with rum instead of the extract and a few times have added a dash more rum just before serving to light at the table.

Quick Chicken Divan

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2008

This was SO easy and very good. Made only minor adjustments to suit our tastes. I used left over plain grilled chicken, but I marinated in lemon juice a few hours before putting this together. I mixed some extra parmasan into the cheese to make a full 2 cups of cheese (Mainly to clean out my fridge). I used the Mushroom Soup with roasted garlic. Next time I will thaw and drain the broccoli to get rid of excess water. I did not do this because I thought the extra moisture would be good. It was a little too much.

Colonial Hot Buttered Rum

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2007

Had this for a Halloween Weenie Roast last night and it was wonderful. Got rave reviews from all. I followed the recipe exactly. It is sweet, and buttery...and all things cinnamon roll-ish. Will serve again this weekend (by request) for a Knitting Party

Chicken and Potato Parcels

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2007

Very good. I made a half recipe because there are just two of us. I left the skins on my potatoes and cooked in the packets in the Crock-pot on high for about 5 hours to avoid the heat of the oven or grill. I baked the potatoes in an already warmed from lunch oven for about 15 minutes but I think the time in the crock-pot would have cooked them through anyway. I used large (~7" long) potatoes and think one would have been enough in the recipe for us. Will definitely have this again. Thanks!!

Chicken and Cranberry Pizza with Brie and Almonds

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2007

I think the taste buds of my friends and I are programmed for more zing when we hear the word pizza. We found this rather bland too. I will try it again though with a few changes. Next time I will marinate the chicken in lemon juice then grill it. I will also add more onion...and will probably use a sweet onion instead of spring to get more zing that way too.
