Alfredo Mostaccioli

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2011

This was soooo good and even better - EASY!! I wish alfredo sauce would reheat well!!! I did double the sauce which was the perfect amount for a 16 oz box of pasta and added 1/2 c extra of a 3 cheese blend (asiago, romano, parmesean) I will definitley be making this again, maybe next time I'll cut down the butter just a bit.

Red Velvet Cake III

Reviewed: May 11, 2010

I love red velvet cake and this was my first time making it. It turned out awesome!! I didnt have the instant pudding mix so I used one of those individual chocolate pudding cups and it still turned out great. Used store bought cream cheese frosting, mmmmm cant wait to make again!!

Braised Balsamic Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2010

This was pretty good but it definatley needed something more. I added mushrooms but it still lacked that robust flavor i was after and i wish the sauce could somehow be made thicker.

Easy OREO Truffles

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2010

These were great!! I used my kitchen aid, with the wisk to crush the cookies then added the cream cheese. I couldnt wait to try one so I ate one while the choc. coating was still warm and i didnt care for it all that much. So i made half with and half without. After i tried them chilled I should have definitley covered them all!!

Korean BBQ Chicken Marinade

Reviewed: May 8, 2009

Im giving this 4 stars because my husband really likes it and he doesnt usually like chicken all that much. But for me, it just isnt sweet enough. I have tried doubleing the sugar and it still wasnt sweet. Also, it didnt seem to completely marinate through the whole piece of chicken, just the skin, even with over 48 hrs marinading. I will try something ekse to see if I can make it a bit more sweet as well as make sure the taste is soaked all the way through.

Honey Mustard Salad Dressing

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2009

This is so good. I used stone ground mustard, doubled the amount. Added more mayo, cut the oil in half (using EVOO), cut the vinegar in half(using apple cider vin.) and used onion powder, and dried parsley. If I imagined the perfect honey mustard salad dressing, this would be it. I love it and will definitley make again!!

Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009

I have never worked with lentils before and I LOVED this!! I added more tomatoes and more liquid. It is more like a stew than a soup. But is so so good. I will definitley be making this again, again, and again!!

Apple Crumble Pie

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2009

This is definitley my new staple recipe for homemade apple pie. I do as one of the other ladies do and coat the apples in flour then layer apples, sugar cinnamon, apples, cinnamon sugar in the crust. I also add a little bit more cinnamon sugar over the final layer of apples before putting on the crumble. I usually use Granny Smith apples but this last time I didnt have any so I used 2 lg honeycrisp apples and 1 braeburn apple and it turned out really well also. Great recipe!! Yum Yum Yum!!

Chai Tea Mix

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2008

This is so comfy cozy good. Perfect for a cold winters day. The first time I made it I didnt add the extra spices listed in the headline and it was lovely. This time I added the extra spices and it just gives it a more umph. I like it both ways. Will keep this on hand all year round, living in Alaska you need a good cup of something soothing and hot. Thanks so much for the recipe!!

Easy Roasted Pork

Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2008

This was okay. I wouldnt make it to serve as a savory style meal. I liked it but I have a major sweet tooth. It was difficult to manage the temp. When I measured the temp of the meat, it was just a couple of degrees away from being done so I went ahead and took it out, let it rest for about 10 min. and it was still dry. I guess, most pork loins are dry no matter how you cook them...... if anyone has a recipe that keeps it nice and moist let me know!!

Dump Cake I

Reviewed: May 28, 2008

I am giving this 5 stars because I have never found a dump cake that I liked but I really LOVE this one. I added a can of drained tart pie cherries to the cherry pie filling and used a 20 oz can of pineapple, I have also made it with a small can and I couldnt tell the difference. I like to add about 2-3 tbsp. of lemon juice as well. I mixed about 1/3c. or so of the cake mix in with the filling just to give it some body. Then poured the rest of the cake mix on top. I just patted the butter on top but I did use a stick and a half instead of just one. I am making this again tonight, yum!! I think I might sprinkle just a little bit of cinnamon on the top right about 10 min. before its done.

Bacon Wrapped Smokies

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2008

These are wonderful for any potluck dinner. We made a double batch an they were gone in less that 15 minutes. Will defiantely make again. Also they are super super easy. I just sprinkled the brown sugar on top instead of rolling the smokies in it.

Sauteed Apples

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2008

These were really good for homemade sauteed apples. I was hoping that these would taste like the spiced apples from chili's but I will keep looking. Overall a good recipe, these would be awesome with ice cream.

Zesty Slow Cooker Chicken Barbecue

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2008

This was okay, the juices from the chicken keep the BBQ from sticking to the chicken and it also makes the BBQ sauce really runny. I did thicken it up with con starch, but it still wasnt all that zesty.

Microwave Caramel Popcorn

I love caramel popcorn and I think this is delicous. After a couple of times making it, I just started guesstimating the amounts of ingredients. Love this for a late snack and I will make again.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME, I will be using this recipe from now on. I have never been one to perfect choc. chip cookies, but these are fool proof. I also didnt have any brown sugat so I added 4 TBSP of molasses for every cup of white sugar to create brn sugar.
