YUM! MAde this last night for 4th July BBQ. Really great. I think the red skinned potatoes make a difference. I use organic b/c I think they taste better. I used bac'n bits b/c I hate cooking bacon. I used a little less mayo and added Grey Poupon. I substituted onion powder for fresh b/c I don't like overpowering onion taste or the bitterness of raw onions. Also reduced eggs to 2. YUM YUM love this.

Best Marinara Sauce Yet

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2010

This was definitely easy to make and went over well with the family. BUT I was sort of disappointed with the acid taste. I used organic canned tomatoes and organic canned paste. Added a heaping tablsp of brown sugar as other recommended, but still not quite right.

Baked Kale Chips

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2010

These were very easy to make and sort of a fun alternative to snacky foods. Both my 18mos old and 6yr old tried them and ate a few more after that. I liked them best drizzled with olive oil, and then sprinkled with garlic salt and chili powder. Will make again.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2010

I halved the recipe. It was easy to make but not that great. It tasted like a store bought cookie- there was too strong of a baking soda flavor. I was a little disappointed.

Refried Beans Without the Refry

Reviewed: May 13, 2010

I recently made 14 slow cookers-full of this recipe for a fundraiser dinner. It was very easy to make, and despite being a little bit bland (which can be corrected individually pretty easily), I thought it was very good. I love that it is simple, much more healthy, and much less expensive than buying by the can (prepared refried). Thanks for this!

Chocolate Cupcakes

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2010

I made two batches, one right after the next. They both tasted awful. The consistancy was weird- though the cupcakes were done (nothing left on a toothpick) whene aten, was like oatmeal- gooey and thick. The flavor wasn't great either. I am still looking for the best chocolate cpcake recipe. This was not it.

Salsa Biscuit Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2006

I made homemade biscuit dough instead of buying premade. I thought the flavors were really good. I added a little crushed red ppr to the chicken while it cooked for a spicier flavoered chicken. I also tried the recomendation of another to use muffins tins to form the biscuit... glad I tried that the first time around. I think I might try turning into a pie next time. Toddler loved it.

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2006

A little too spicey as is for little ones, but husband and I loved it. I added a little extra enchilada sauce and 3/4 the green chiles. Added 1/2 C corn. Worked fine to add 2 frozen chicken breasts to the mix.

Penne with Chicken and Asparagus

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2006

This was ok. The consistancy was a little weird and the chicken didn't really have a good flavor. It needed to be marinated in something a head of time that would have comlimented the asparagus. I haven't thought of anything yet.... maybe when I do I will try it again.

Slow Cooker Lentil and Ham Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2006

This was a basically good recipe that, due to circumstances, I had to alter. I used beef broth instead of chicken and green split peas instead of lentils. The spices were nice and the ham hock gave the soup a flovorful not too over powering greese that is so good in home cooked food.
