Beef Stroganoff III

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2012

Amazing, I would never have expected this to be so popular with my finicky family. Aside from substituting Elk cut into the 1/4 x 2 inch strips, marinated for 1 hour in a 4/1 water-balsamic vinegar, 1T sugar, dried thyme, bay leaf mixture I would not dare change anything. Mustard who would EVER have thought that could make such a tasty difference. Thanks Donna, your recipe has helped me immeasurably.

Aunt Anne's Coffee Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2012

Very good, needs a larger streusel to batter proportion, or I'd have given 5 stars. Nice texture and wonderfully fast to put together. Try it w/lemon zest & dried blueberries in the batter.

Sour Cream Apple Pie Deluxe

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2011

Wicked good! Used a little Pecan Maple granola in the and 1 c chopped walnuts in the crumb topping with 1/2 t of ginger, a dash of clove, and 1 t of cinnamon. Spiked the sour cream mix with another 1/2 t of nutmeg & pored over 1 c golden raisins and 4 c of chunked Granny Smiths. I hate it when I love my own cooking this much. It's just not modest, but this pie, even while it is still warm, is fabulous. I love whoever it was that originally posted this one. 'Can't wait to take one to church for Sunday-before-Thanksgiving feast. I will OWN all my sister-in-Christ's dessert contributions. It's wrong for me to look forward to that, I know, but...

Sweet Sausage 'n' Beans

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2011

Long ago I had a check-out paperback crock pot cookbook. There was a version of this in it which was truly the best...but this is not bad at all. Cut the sugar, add cubed ham and/or bacon lightly fried. Pre-cook whole baby carrots. Cook this in the crockpot for a nice change of pace. Makes a fine summer meal with a salad, since it doesn't require much heat in the kitchen.

Hamburger Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2011

Good and easy as is. W/ground turkey the chicken stock makes more sense. 'Don't really need the dry onion soup mix. I have made it a couple of times & it's a dependable way to use ground poultry

Easy Lemon Bars

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2011

As published, it's a 4 star recipe, pretty good & ridiculously easy. Once the numerous reviewer recommendations are incorporated, it's a 5+ star delight.

Combined 1/4 c fresh lemon juice w/ low fat cream cheese, 4 oz tub of lemon yogurt, 11 drops of NuStevia extract to filling. Bake as directed.

Asparagus and Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2010

Quite good. Tends to be a little too bland, but it has lovely textures. The fresh asparagus stayed crisp even after the 40 minutes it took for the breast meat to be cooked through. 'Thinking it will be better with more cheese than the 1/4 cup called for and possibly a little something creamy spread over the asparagus before cooking. 'Even a good quality Ranch dressing might work.

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Jun. 14, 2010

Whoa! these were so simple to make using the melted butter step, AND they had wonderful flavor, very nice texture; a generally excellent chocolate chip batch! I cut the quantity in half, because my guys are princesses who won't eat a three-day old cookie, and I substituted a tablespoon of stevia power for the white sugar. STILL a great cookie! LOVE this recipe!

Creamy Rice Pudding

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2010

Very nice, particularly for Americanized pallet. 'Not the baked, more austere Celtic sort at all. Hence only 4 stars, although my family enjoyed it, as will my friends from the southeastern states. It's a totally dependable recipe if what you want is a rather sweet, wet, creamy pudding. I substituted 1t stevia for sugar, added 1/2 t nutmeg to the flavorings and omitted the raisins as a nod to my guys' preferences.

Michell Jenny's Challah

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2009

A wonderful dough; I confess I subverted it to the making of sweet rolls pinwheeled with raisins and nuts, cinnamon and brown sugar. It performed beautifully as a vehicle for all that tinkering. Thank you! Next time I'll restore it to its proper function as a braided loaf. 'Soon!

Potato Bacon Chowder

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009

Very, very good. I'd vote 5 stars but for the fact that I think the results would have been bland made exactly as specified. I didn't use C. of Chix soup because its full of preservatives and artificial flavorings. Instead I used l.o. chicken gravy and sherry. Then I added chives, garlic , nutmeg, and extra salt and pepper. Given those adjustments this is very fine.

Monkey Bread II

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009

I cheated and used Bridgeford frozen dinner rolls, cut into 1/4s. 'Hard to judge the results given that departure, but the family enjoyed them. I used crannies, rather than raisins and if I did so again, I'd soak them first in o.j. to soften them a bit.

Cranberry Streusel Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2009

Top notch! Even my husband who doesn't approve of high-calorie desserts succumbe to this pie. I cut the sugar in half, substituting a 1/8 of a cut of Nu-Stevia, in both the cranberry filling and the steusel topping. Used pecans instead of walnuts. This is a KEEPER!

Silver's Savory Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2009

Seems a pity to start with whole chicken breasts. This recipe s/REALLY/b all about using leftover roast chicken, leftover gravy and leftover cooked broccoli. That is what I used and it is a fine dish. I added 2/3 of the cheese to the leftover gravy wi/ enough fat free 1/2 & 1/2 to make a couple of cups of cheese sauce, to which I then added about a teaspoon of Franks hotsauce. Tasty. And economic, and a nice change from leftover roast chicken in soup, pot pie, or al la king.
