Red, White and Blue Slaw Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 21, 2008

Five stars are not enough! I'm not a cole slaw fan but I made it for DH who loved it... then the kids loved it... so I tried it, and now I love it too! I used an entire package of shredded cabbage, and Marzetti's Light slaw dressing, and followed the recipe just as it's written. I am now a convert to cole slaw, and I will use this recipe often. Thank you!

Key Lime Cookies I

Reviewed: Jul. 4, 2008

This is a great summer cookie recipe. I used key lime juice (easier than squeezing those itty bitty limes!) and the taste was a nice combination of sweet and tart. Don't worry if the dough is "sticky." I didn't try to roll them into balls, but just dropped them onto the cookie sheet using a teaspoon. They shaped up nicely as they baked. These are nice, soft cookies that will travel to a 4th of July picnic tonight. Thanks!

Lemon Seafood Risotto

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2008

This is a wonderful, easy risotto. I only had cooked frozen shrimp on hand and, after thawing, I threw them in for the last few minutes to heat through. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly, and it was a big hit with my family. Not too lemony at all, as some reviewers thought.

New England Clam Chowder I

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2007

An excellent, easy clam chowder. I used frozen clams instead of canned, and added a bottle of clam juice to boost the flavor. The chowder tasted great and got rave reviews at my Christmas party. One thing, though: I followed another reviewer's advice and added mashed potato flakes to thicken the soup, but it got too potato-y. Next time I'll try cornstarch or flour if it's too thin. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for the recipe!

Sweet Grilled Peaches

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2007

This is an easy and wonderful summer dessert! I added a tablespoon of melted butter and about 1/4 cup of brown sugar before I grilled the peaches, and it was perfect, served over vanilla ice cream. I would certainly serve this to guests at a summer cookout! Thanks for a great recipe. It's a keeper!

Grilled Salmon II

Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2007

This marinade is wonderful! I tossed a few dozen jumbo shrimp in with the fish, then before grilling, I threaded them on skewers. Both the salmon and shrimp had great flavor, and received raves all round the table. If I could give this one more than five stars, I would. I will definitely be making this again... the family insists! Thanks for the recipe!

Jamie's Cranberry Spinach Salad

Reviewed: May 30, 2007

This salad was a hit at our sports banquet. I served it with feta cheese on the side, for folks who may not care for it. Also, I used spring mix instead of spinach; I think it would be great either way. I will make the dressing and keep it on hand for frequent use. Thanks for a great recipe!

Egg Salad Sandwiches

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2007

This was great! I used light mayo, otherwise followed the recipe to the letter. I tasted it immediately after putting it together and wasn't too impressed, but after refrigerating overnight, the flavors really came together. I like lots of onion, but if you're not a big fan, you might want to cut back on the amount. This will be my go-to recipe for all of those leftover Easter eggs. Thanks!

Slow Cooker Ham

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2007

This was a huge hit! It was the easiest ham I've ever prepared, and the tastiest too. Juicy and tender... yum! It's the only way I'll cook ham, from now on. Thanks for a great recipe.

Cheesy Sausage Loaf

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2007

This was an instant hit in our home. It's tough to get my 16-year-old to take a moment for breakfast, but he stops in his tracks as soon as he sees this loaf on the table. I could probably do this with frozen dough, but I enjoy the breadmaking. The only thing I change is to add more meat, about 1.5 pounds sausage total, and place slices of provolone on the dough before topping with the meat/cheese mixture. Mmmmmm! Thanks for a great recipe!

Seafood Strata with Pesto

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2006

We served this strata for Christmas brunch, and unfortunately, it didn't go over too well. There were a LOT of steps to prepare the dish; it took longer than I expected to put it together. The taste was just okay; it seemed to be missing something, but I don't know what since there are so many ingredients already in it. I really wanted to like this; sorry.

Creme Brulee French Toast

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2006

This was wonderful! The only thing I changed was to cube the bread before placing in the casserole, for ease of serving. Everyone loved it! It is so sweet, no maple syrup was needed. Definitely a "keeper".

Autumn Cheesecake

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2005

A wonderful cheesecake! I usually make cheesecakes for special occasions and have a collection of favorite recipes. This is about the best. I doubled the filling, as some suggested, and increased the cooking time to 90 minutes total. For a topping, I used the crust recipe, but only needed half the amount of ingredients. The cheesecake was great, even though I forgot to serve the caramel sauce with it. No one noticed anything missing, and I had numerous requests for the recipe. I will definitely make this one again!
