Vietnamese Beef Pho

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2005
This is an excellent recipe. As another user recommended, I found 'pho cubes' at an asian market and use them to make the broth. This makes a huge difference. I also use dried vermicelli noodles instead of rice noodles. I'm not a fan of fish sauce so I omit that.

These are very good and easy to make. I thought they might be too sweet but they weren't, they were perfectly flavored.

Sarah's Applesauce

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2011
This is the perfect recipe to use up a bunch of apples before they go bad. It's delicious. I used half the sugar and it was plenty. Especially good after its cooled in the refrigerator overnight.

Caramels

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2010
When my 'caramel making' friend moved away and I couldn't just eat her caramels whenever she made them, I decided I better figure out how to make them because caramels are my all time favorite candy. I have made this recipe twice now and they have come out perfectly each time and I absolutely love them...maybe a little too much because i can't stop eating them and they aren't so good for the waistline but they are delicious!!! They do require a long stirring session (approx 45 minutes) to bring them up to 248-250 degrees but its worth the effort. I use a heavy Le Creuset pot which I believe is ideal for this type of recipe.

Solianka or Russian Beef Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 9, 2012
Such an odd list of ingredients but don't let it scare you, it is very good! I did not have any marinated mushrooms in a jar so I made my own ahead of time using the Marinated Mushroom recipe by Silvia Raynor on this site. I made this for my Christmas Eve soup party where I make 3 different kinds of soup and this one was the favorite.

Hot or Cold Vegetable Frittata

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2008
This is an excellent dish. I had to make a breakfast dish for a coaches hospitality room at a high school swim meet. I wanted to bring something that didn't have to be kept warm. I came across this recipe and it was perfect. It was served room temperature and everyone loved it. I made one for myself a couple days later and I like it either cold or warmed slightly. Broccoli is a very nice addition to the veggie list. I also added a can of green chilis to the veggies after they were sauted. And I added a teaspoon of chili powder and a teaspoon of garlic powder. I used 1 1/2 packages of low fat cream cheese and that was plenty.

Liquid Hot Apple Pie

Reviewed: Jan. 9, 2012
A perfect winter drink! I do not add the alcohol to the mix after its done simmering. I add it to the individual servings which allows it to be served to those who don't drink alcohol as well. Even though I find myself adding rum to just about every cup I serve. ;)

This recipe has the WOW factor. At first I had a hard time marinating filet because it is such a good cut of meat. All I can say now is thank goodness I did because this recipe is DELICIOUS!!!!

Marinated Mushrooms

Reviewed: Jan. 9, 2012
These are way better Thant any that come from a jar! And very easy to make. I made them to go in the Solianka recipe by Karena on this site. They were great in the soup and also fabulous all by themselves.

Hungarian Mushroom Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2010
This is one of my favorite soups now. It's nearly perfect as is but I do up the amount of lemon since I like the tangyness it adds. I use at least the juice of half a lemon if not more and also cut the parsley amount in half. Love it!

Colleen's Potato Crescent Rolls

This is my 'go-to' recipe for any kind of roll. They are delicious no matter what shape you make them. I especially like to use this dough for making cinnamon rolls... they come out perfect.

Sausage Jalapeno Poppers

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2010
Outstanding! I have made these twice now and I should have made more both times. A couple suggestions...definitely precook the bacon before wrapping. I lay each slice out on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 400 for 6 minutes. I also add 3 sliced green onions and about 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese to the sausage mixture. I do put them on a rack when cooking and I also use convection baking. Delicious!

Baby BLT

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2009
I love these! Next time I will use reduced sodium bacon because they were a little salty. I also added a half of a package of reduced fat cream cheese and a 1/4 cup of low fat sour cream. As someone else suggested, I cut the bottoms off so they didn't roll around and it worked perfectly. Very much worth the time it took to make them. They were a big hit at the party I took them to.

Fresh Spinach Salad

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2006
This is a great salad. I took it to dinner at a friends house and everyone loved it. I don't care for waterchestnuts so I left them out and I added 1/2 red onion thinly sliced, sliced fresh mushrooms and toasted slivered almonds.
