Breakfast Pies

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2009
If I could give these 3.5 stars, I would. Three seems too few, four is too generous! My middle- and high-school aged kids are always running late & complain when I "make" them eat breakfast. These are a quick & easy solution for them to heat & eat on the go! I used 2 pkgs of store-brand biscuits since I read on here to avoid Pillsbury b/c they rise too much, but these did too despite my flattening them and trying to create a pocket for the fillings. Because I had 20 pcs of dough & 24 cupcake openings, I took a few and halved them as someone suggested. I will definitely do that next time as the full-dough ones didn't allow enough egg mixture. I used one roll of turkey sausage with green & red peppers and onions. For 24 "pies" I could only use (fit) 6 eggs (with 6 T milk) without fear of spilling over while baking, which some still did. Also, all 5 of us feel these are a little bland. Perhaps it's the store dough, but the idea itself is great and worth the tweaks -- especially since the kids now have something hot & easy to help start their day. *ALSO! Be sure you spray the muffin tins well. I thought I did, but they still stuck - a lot! :\

Fried Cauliflower

Reviewed: May 22, 2009
I must preface by saying while I have not made this exact recipe as listed, fried cauliflower is one of the most requested dishes in my house among my 3 kids!! My teen sons' friends even beg for this dish! My family could go through an entire head of cauliflower (ONLY when cooked this way) in

Coconut Shrimp I

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2006
My mouth is watering just thinking back to when I made this recipe last week. In a word: phenomenal! Definitely worthy of impressing your best company. One major tip: save yourself LOADS of time and either buy peeled & deveined shrimp or do this work ahead of time. I expected this recipe to be good, so I bought almost 2 pounds of XL shrimp and pretty much doubled up on everything else. Had to laugh when I re-read the prep time to be 10 minutes, not the hour it took me before I got down to business. Next time I will let it marinate in the fridge a bit longer than 30 minutes, but this recipe was still outstanding ... my husband said it "blew away" the coconut shrimp at our favorite restaurant! And if at all possible, for the ultimate tropical kick, PLEASE do yourself the favor and serve it with fresh (in the refrigerated section) pineapple mango salsa -- HELLO! Garnish w/cilantro for company ;) Even with the extra hour's work, I just cannot wait to make it again! Another tip: if you're making a large quantity, be careful not to let the oil burn as you get towards frying the later batches or you'll get that black "nasty oil" flavor & crunch. If you can manage to make any last long enough to a second day, the flavor intensifies and it's superb served cold on a Spinach salad!! Bon Appetit!
