Simple, Classic Chicken Potpie

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2011

This was fantastic! In addition to the vegetables called for, I added a small diced potato and some frozen peas. The sherry is an absolute must for a rich savory sauce. Will definitely make again!

Patti's Mussels a la Mariniere

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009

My husband said this recipe replaced his other favorite clam recipe, which he raves about! I read the reviews and just adjusted a few things. I used 8 cloves of garlic instead of 5 and 3 tbsp. of butter instead of 2. I also waited and added the green onions during the last five minues of cooking. When I reduced the wine broth, it seemed as if I didn't have enough liquid to steam the clams, so I added about 1/2 cup of chicken broth. These were absolutely delicious! The broth was so good to sop up with some crusty bread. I will most definitely be making it again and often!

Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009

I love regular banana bread, so I figured I would give this a try. I read the reviews and used 3 bananas, two tbsp. mayo, and one cup of smooth peanut butter. I baked as muffins at 350 degrees for 25 minutes and they came out beautifully. Great breakfast!

Cake Balls

Reviewed: Feb. 22, 2009

These tasted good and people were impressed by them, but they were a bit time consuming and messy to prepare. I did what other reviewers suggested and prepared the cake and cut off the ends. I only used 1/2-3/4 of a can of frosting and I used the whipped kind, and the amount seemed to be perfect. I also froze the cake balls before dipping them into the chocolate coating. The mashed up cake tasted wonderful on its own, and I think the chocolate coating made them a bit too sweet for me. I coated several balls and kept the rest frozen for another occasion. I used a spice cake/cream cheese with vanilla coating and a devil's food cake/buttercream with chocolate combination. I would make again for the people that love sweets.

Sweet Restaurant Slaw

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2009

Soooo good! I took the advice of some reviewers and used rice vinegar and then cut back on the sugar. Tasted just like one you'd get at a restaurant. Will definitely make again!

Sage Pork Chops

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2009

Really delicious! I followed the recipe almost exactly, except I reduced the salt to about 1 teaspoon and added some crushed rosemary to the sage mixture. I also followed the advice of some viewers and cooked the chops for only 30 minutes. Rather than make a gravy, I served some of the au jus on the side for dipping. I served with a sweet potato mash and salad. My husband loved it! Thank you!

Summer Squash Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2008

Delicious! A friend gave me several large summer squash from her garden and we needed a way to use them up. I read other reviews and only used 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg, and increased the cinnamon to 3 tsp. I also added 1/2 tsp. of salt to balance out the sweetness. We loved it and will be making it again. Perfect to make now and freeze later

Tangy Grilled Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2008

The flavor was great, but boiling the marinade and drizzling over the meat before serving is a must, or I think the flavor would have been too mild. Great variation for pork!

Manicotti Alla Romana

Reviewed: Aug. 2, 2008

I thought it was good, but I do think the white sauce was an extra step that was not entirely needed. Next time, I will add some sausage, as some reviewers mentioned, because the filling lacked a little something.

Fruit Pizza I

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2008

People loved this and it was very easy to prepare. I pre-baked the cookies, pre-made the "frosting" (adding some vanilla pudding mix to the cream cheese) and pre-cut the fruit. I assembled it all right before a staff meeting and everyone loved it! Thank you!

My Best Clam Chowder

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2008

I tried several recipes for many different kinds of chowder and this was the absolute best! I did what others suggested and browned some bacon before adding the onions and celery and to cut fat and calories I used equal parts of 2% milk and half and half...turned out perfect! Be sure to add the vinegar...it really does make the flavors sparkle!

Pita Chips

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2007

These were so easy and WAY better and less expensive than store bought ones. I won't spend money on pre-made pits chips again! I used wheat and white pita bread, and I found that the white pita bread had a better flavor.

Garlic Bread Fantastique

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2007

This was the best garlic bread I've had and it was SO easy! I read the reviews and left out the salt, and it was perfect. I also added a light layer of mozzarella cheese just before I put it in the broiler....delicious!

Spiced Sweet Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2006

Definitely delicious! After reading the reviews, I too lessened the cayenne pepper to 1/4of a teaspoon, and it was just enough spice. I din't have any tahini, so I left it our and it tasted just fine. Great way to change up a regular hummus recipe!

French Onion Soup XI

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2006

I've tried many french onion soup recipes, and this one was pretty good. I reduced the number of onions to 6 and I added two tablespoons of flour to the onions right before they finished cooking. I used a brown ale and it gave the soup a really good flavor. I added a little salt at the end, but that was just my own personal taste. I would definitely try this again!
