Firecracker Grilled Alaska Salmon

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2009

Very very good! I expected this to be spicier and was a little worried that it might be too spicy. However, it was perfect. I could have handled it even a little more spicy. I marinated about 4.5 hrs. Salmon is great just as it is, but this is a delicious alternative to plain grilled salmon. I made it for dinner with a friend over the weekend. And I've already went shopping for more salmon to make it this week for my family! I followed all the ingredients exactly b/c I happened to have it all on hand. I did bake in the oven rather than grilling b/c it was 35degrees & I can't work the grill anyway!

Chocolate and Fruit Trifle

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2008

So Good!!! I had extra devils food cake left over from a huge birthday cake that I made....all the extra pieces I had carved off before icing. Hated to waste all that cake so I came here to find a recipe. I had never made a trifle before. Very easy to make. I didn't use the kiwi, just strawberries & raspberries. Guests LOVED it and took some home....which was great b/c this recipe makes a TON! The pudding/whipped cream filling is delicious, I added a teaspoon of vanilla flavoring to mine and used cheesecake flavored pudding. Make extra filling for sure, I didn't have enough and I should have taken the advice of other reviewers to make extra. Great recipe, I will be using this again and again...especially for potlucks or family dinners.

Chunky Chicken Noodle Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2008

Excellant recipe. I have tried the "Awesome Chicken Noodle Soup" from this site also. I just went with this one today...seemed easier to prepare. Very good flavor, simple ingredients, hearty comforting meal. I did add minced fresh garlic to the veggies as a personal preference. And the next time I make this I will use more vegetables, also a personal preference. I made my own broth by boiling chicken breasts(boneless, skinless is what I had on hand--would be better w/ the bone-in of course) with carrots, onions, celery and garlic. Then drain the vegetables out & use the broth for this soup.

Amy's Garlic Egg Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2008

Very good recipe. Everyone in my family loved it & it will be added to the rotation. Very easy to prepare and yields delicious results. I used 3 large boneless/skinless chick breasts. 2 whole eggs instead of just the yolks. I soaked the chicken for about 3 hrs b/4 baking. Would be even better w/ longer soaking. Prepared breading as directed & had a little left over...but I dipped in egg & then lightly coated in breading, dipped in egg again & then a heavy coating of breading. Needed a little more egg/garlic mixture to have some to drizzle over chicken b/4 cooking. Also, used olive oil spray instead of butter in pan. Baked 35 minutes, turning once 1/2 thru cooking. Delicious!!!

Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip II

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2008

Flavor was okay. Way too thick. Was nibbled at by the family, but we ended up throwing most of it away. I LOVE Spin/Art dip and only ate 2 bites.

Creamy Pesto Pasta Salad with Chicken, Asparagus and Cherry Tomatoes

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2008

I'm sorry to have to rate this a 3. Perhaps I did something wrong....I don't think so. This recipe does make a lot so that is a plus. I did not care for the dressing. If I make it again I will only add the pesto sauce. I had to double the pesto sauce. Also, I would add more asparagus. But even with those changes I don't think I would make it again. Just so so, in my opinion.

Restaurant-Style Buffalo Chicken Wings

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2008

These are absolutely the best chicken wings I have ever had. I don't even like chicken wings at restaurants. I made these for Super Bowl party and then ended making them again the following weekend b/c they were so delicious. Definitely let the wings set in the fridge to get sticky before cooking. I baked @ 400 for 40 minutes, sprayed w/ cooking spray and then broiled for 5 min. I used Texas Pete for the hot sauce. I also made a mix of spicy bbq as another review suggested and it was delicious. Great to have 2 wing flavors. MAKE THESE WINGS you will not be disappointed!

Pretzel Dessert

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2008

Delicious. This turned out great. Use only 1 cup of water though. As other reviewers stated, definitely be sure to seal off the pretzel layer w/ the cream chz mixture. Also, let the layers cool completely before topping w/ the next layer. The jello should start to set up a little b/4 you pour it on the cream chz mixture. When prepared this way, you should definitely have a crunchy pretzel crust and a distinct layer of cream cheese and a layer of jello. I tried it w/ raspberry jello & mixed berries. That was good but I think I'll stick to the strawberry version.

Turkey Rice Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 9, 2008

I'm giving this a 4 star b/c I substitued so many ingredients. The recipe turned out well, very easy to prepare. I used 1lb ground turkey, browned & drained. I didn't have pimentos or celery and I used shredded carrots instead of grated. I also used frozen broccoli florets and chopped into bite size pieces before sauteeing. I added minced garlic, salt and pepper the vegs while I sauteed. The cheese sauce was really good...I like that this recipe uses this cheese sauce as a binder/thickener rather than a canned cream soup. The swiss cheese was a little sharp, I will probably make it with only chedder from this point forward. Husband and teen-aged son loved it, both had second helpings. I also scaled it down to 6 servings and it fit just fine in a 9x13 dish. I melted 3Tbl butter and mixed w/ 1 cup crushed cornflakes for a crunchy topping. Served w/ a tossed salad and crunchy french bread. Tasted very good, easy on preparation and very easy on the budget!

Zesty Slow Cooker Chicken Barbecue

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2007

This wasn't a bad recipe but wasn't what I hoped it would be either. Very easy to prepare but I will still be on the search for a great slow cooker BBQ chicken recipe.

Quiche Lorraine I

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2007

Really good recipe. Next time I will probably cut back a little on the bacon. But other than that it was great. Followed over reviewers recommendation to use 5 eggs & less cream and it turned out perfect. Everyone loved it.

Hamburger Steak with Onions and Gravy

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2007

This is a very good recipe. It's always a hit with my husband and boys. Also, it is delicious as leftovers. Satisfying comfort food, especially when served with mashed potatoes that you can smother w/ the gravy. Simple to make, easy to modify with ingredients and spices you have on hand. Although I never add the worsteschire (husband doesn't like) or the sherry (never have it on hand), I don't think the flavor is compromised at all by the omission of those 2 ingredients. Recommend this recipe for a hearty, belly warming dinner.

Turkey Pot Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2007

This pot pie is exceptional! I added cubed acorn squash to the celery/onion/carrot mixture, used store bought pie crust for the bottom and puff pastry for the top----those were the only deviations from the recipe I made. It was the perfect pot pie consistency for my family's taste. The seasonings were right on. Also, simple to make, not as "throw in the pan easy" as the other recipes I've made that use canned ingredients, but the homemade taste can not be beat. Thank you for the great recipe. I don't think I'll be saving Turkey Pot Pie for just the weekend after Thanksgiving anymore--we'll make this all during the fall and winter.

Faux Jerk Chicken

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2007

WOW!! This was fantastic. I searched for a chicken marinade at the last minute, so I did not have scotch bonnet peppers on hand. I added a little extra cayenne, a dash of coarse ground black pepper and a dash of crushed red pepper to kick up the heat a little. I can not wait to try this recipe exactly as written, I know it will be excellant. We truly enjoyed this and will make it often. I've already saved this to my recipe box! I would have to say this recipe is in my top 5 from this website! Thanks!!!

Quick Zesty Green Beans

Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2006

I was looking for a recipe to cook fresh green beans from our garden that would enhance rather than mask the flavor. Surprisingly this recipe is perfect! I would have never imagined blackened seasoning to go on any vegetable but it was absolutely delicious! I used a homemade blackening seasoning recipe rather than Old Bay simply because I didn't have Old Bay on hand. Well done, very pleased with the recipe. Thanks.

Strawberry Chocolate Mousse Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2006

Wow! This is a great recipe. Everyone loved it and said it looked beautiful. I followed the recipe exactly and had enough crust, mousse & topping, so the measurements are perfect. I usually do not find that is the case with a lot of recipes, for some reason I always have to make more of something. I made it with milk choc chips because some of the other reviews said it was really rich, however it didn't seem too rich so I will definitely try it with the semi-sweet next time, I bet it would be better that way. I use this website all the time and this is probably the best recipe I have ever made, my husband said it was definitely the best dessert I've ever made. Thanks for the great recipe!

Spicy Grilled Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2006

Very good marinade. I double the amount of red pepper to make it a little spicier. Also needs to marinate for several hours, at least 3. Have added to my recipe box. Thanks!

Best Spinach Dip Ever

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2005

Made this recipe because of the addition of the leek soup and the good reviews of other tasters. HUGE hit at an office party, the leek soup really made a big difference. This recipe is really good just the way it is, however I may try less mayo & sourcream next time or more spinach just to make it thicker. Thanks for the recipe.
