Butter Roast Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2011

I used four split chicken breasts without skin. Soaked for one hour in salted water. Like others, cut butter to 1/4 cup and reduced lemon juice to 1/4 cup (you will never miss that butter!). Cooked in uncovered roaster at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours, basting occasionally. Very flavorful, family loved it!

Excellent Broccoli Cheese Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2011

Vegetarians: I substituted vegetable broth for the chicken stock and it's excellent. Very flavorful - did not feel like a sacrifice. Like others, I sauteed finely chopped onion with butter and added a scant 1/3 cup of corn starch blended with cold water to increase thickness to our personal preference. Thanks for a great recipe!

Zucchini Cornbread Casserole

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2009

I could snack on this all day. Search for most helpful rating. The reviewer nailed it! Oh, and no need to tell the kids there's zucchini in this dish...they'll never know.

Monterey Chicken with Potatoes

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2009

So good my husband called me to tell me it was amazing. Only changes: added 1/2 c salsa and 1/2 c cheeses to original recipe and then drizzled an extra tablespoon of lime over everything. Flipped chicken halfway through cook time and basted again. Definitely a keeper, thanks for sharing!

Broccoli Cheese Soup V

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2008

We love this recipe. Like others, I choose to use a mix of Velveeta and cheddar. This recipe makes a ton, so I half the recipe. Probably due to this adjustment, it sometimes turns out a little thin for my taste so I cut back the broth a bit.

Black-Eyed Peas and Tortillas

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2008

Simple, great recipe. I added an extra clove of garlic and omitted the vegetable stock. I think any stock would make this too liquidy. Serve with shredded cheese and sour cream.

White Cheese Chicken Lasagna

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2008

This is an excellent recipe I have been making for some time now. I use no-cook noodles to save time. To keep from drying out, I make extra sauce (add an extra tablespoon of flour or so and adjust broth/milk/cheese). Also, I prefer to shred the chicken which gives this recipe really great texture. This is a definite keeper in our house.

Lemon Chicken III

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2008

Followed other advice and marinated while frozen only a few hours. It was still far too lemony, but if reduced I am sure it will be a hit. Fried for about 5 minutes on each side and it did take all of 30 minutes to bake. Next time I will cut back on lemon and dilute with some water.

Spicy Rapid Roast Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2007

Like others I doubled spices and stuffed cavity with half an onion and two cloves garlic. My son said it was the best roast chicken he's ever had. Flavorful and very tender. Definitely a keeper!

Fettuccine with Sweet Pepper-Cayenne Sauce

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2007

A frequent request from my daughter, the picky eater. Like others, I cut down on cayenne pepper (1/2 of recommended) and add chicken. Great recipe!

Peach Cobbler VI

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2007

Very good and very easy to make. I sprinkled some cinnamon sugar on top just before baking. It took me 10 minutes longer to bake than suggested. This one went fast with my family.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies I

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2007

These are truly amazing. Made a double batch and they were gone the next day...neighborhood kids devoured. Took others advice and substituted butter for shortening, reduced nutmeg to 3/4 tsp. And if you like nuts, definitely add the walnuts! Don't forget to grease cookie sheets. Off to make another batch now!

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: Jun. 29, 2007

Very good. Like others, added cinnamon, vanilla, and dash of nutmeg. I'm a chocoholic so also added chocolate chips. Cooked for 55 minutes and was already overcooked by about 5 minutes, so watch carefully.

Smushed Apples and Sweet Potatoes

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2007

I love sweet potatoes and apples but it's hard to get over the appearance and the consistency was less than appealing. Think it needs some minor adjustments. Sorry!

Blueberry Buckle

Reviewed: May 25, 2007

Yummy! I did not change amount of flour (spoon lightly), but did use others suggestions to include 1 tsp vanilla, and use half brown/white sugar for topping. With fresh blueberries cooked to perfection in 32 minutes. Great recipe.

Garlic Cheddar Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2006

I just have to review this one again. This is a family favorite...incredibly moist, perfect every time. Make sure you really drench the chicken in the butter mixture and the crumbs will stick beautifully - don't skimp on the butter. It's so tender you may not think it's cooked at first, but 30 min. always works perfectly for me. If you want, broil on low last 3-5 minutes (watch closely). With all the butter, never sticks to my pans...easy cleanup.

Corn Chowder I

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2006

Very good and easy to make. Like others, substituted chicken for bacon, and sauteed onions in 4T butter. Added a pinch of cayenne pepper. Next time I will add some diced red peppers. Even better second day!
