Sweet Restaurant Slaw

Reviewed: Apr. 24, 2012

I made this for a cookout and everybody LOVED it! I didn't change a thing. At first when I put it in the fridge I was hoping it would set up properly (it seemed dry) but sure enough, when I uncovered it the next day, it settle and there was more liquid in the bowl and it was perfect.

Perfect Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2011

My pie ended up looking store bought! Nobody believed me! I used a sugar pumpkin that I bought at the pumpkin patch instead of canned pumpkin. It was easier to prepare than I thought and the kids loved preparing it. Remove stem, cut the pumpkin in half & discard the seeds and stringy pulp. Brush some oil onto the edges and place face down in a roasting pan. Add 1 cup of water and bake at 350 for 60-90 mins until tender (test with a fork). Once the baked pumpkin has cooled, scoop out the flesh and puree or mash it. Line a sieve or colander with 2 coffee filters and let puree drain for at least 2 hours or overnight. If the recipe calls for a 15oz can of pumpkin, that is equal to 1 3/4 cup of puree. I got a little more than 2 cups of puree out of a normal size sugar pumpkin (not enough for 2 pies).

Reuben Hot Dish

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2011

This was interesting. With half the reviews being good and half of them being bad, I wasn't sure what to expect. I figured since this recipe made it into the Tried & True Allrecipes Cookbook, it couldn't be THAT bad. I was right. I followed the recipes exactly and it turned out just fine. I didn't pre-cook the noodles or anything. Definitely double up on the topping. I used 3 or 4 slices of rye bread and it wasn't enough.

Chicken Puffs

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2010

These were really great and so simple. I wanted shredded chicken so I boiled the chicken breasts then shredded them and mixed it in with the onion and garlic. I also added salt and pepper. When I put the mixture onto the crescent rolls, I added some shredded cheddar cheese before rolling for more flavor. Great recipe! Served with broccoli w/cheddar and chicken rice.

Caramelized Baked Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2009

I followed Meredith's instruction below to try to get the sauce thicker. While it was thick in the saucepan, once I cooked it with the chicken, it was less thick. I wanted these to be rib sticking thick! Even though they weren't, the sauce is still good!

Fruit Cocktail Cake

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2009

Although this was easy, it really didn't turn out well. It was like fruit cocktail in wallpaper paste. Sorry.

Rosemary Ranch Chicken Kabobs

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2009

These were really good. They actually have a good after taste too. I love rosemary because a little goes such a long way. I didn't change anything, but like other reviewers, I may just cut down on the salt a bit.

Shrimp Scampi Bake

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2008

This was SO good (even my kids totally love it!). I actually substituted one thing by mistake and it made it taste even better - I used half a cup of Country Crock (which is the "butter" I use) and the other half a cup I used real butter. This is a definite keeper!

Famous Pork Chops

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008

This is how I make these pork chops but I steam them and add onion and pepper to season it a little more. After I put them in the egg wash, I fry them in butter for a little bit on each side. Then I put them in heavy duty foil with thick cut onions and peppers, seal the foil and put the whole packet in a baking dish with about a half inch of water in the bottom of the dish. Cover the dish and bake for an hour and a half. THey do come out a little soggy so I just have to figure out how to fix that.

Baked Macaroni and Cheese II

Reviewed: Jun. 27, 2008

This was okay. It definitely needs salt and pepper and next time I think I'll add scallions or something to give it more flavor (it's a little bland). I would double the amount of tomatoes and I'm not really sure what the cheddar cheese soup does for this recipe because it is SO diluted with that much milk so I'll use at least half a cup less of milk next time. I think with all those "tweaks" it will turn out creamier next time. Otherwise, it didn't taste bad.

Jamie's Cranberry Spinach Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 7, 2003

I made this salad over the 4th of July weekend. Non-salad eaters were eating it!! I didn't change a thing. It's perfect the way it is. A nice change from traditional garden salads.

Ultimate Twice Baked Potatoes

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2003

These potatoes are REALLY good. I am not a big fan of sour cream, but it didn't really bother me in these potatoes. One word of caution - there are a lot of steps involved with this recipe so it's not something to make if you are pressed for time. I'll definitely be making these again.

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: May 28, 2003

I've been making these muffins for years now, since they first debut on All Recipes. They are, by far, the best. BUT, you need to double the amount of blueberries! I'm not really a big fan of muffins because they're usually dry. Not these! And actually two or three days pass and they're still moist.

Garlic Chicken

Reviewed: May 22, 2003

Considering all the rave reviews, this recipe didn't "do it" for me. It was pretty much as bland as the ingredients (bread crumbs and parmesan??? not very exciting). Anyway, you definitely need to pound the chicken and at least double the amount of garlic. I'd maybe have given it 4 stars if I had doubled the garlic and if it would've given it more flavor. Thank goodness I added salt and pepper to those bread crumbs.

Seasoned Turkey Burgers

Reviewed: May 6, 2003

These were pretty good burgers. Not dry or anything and not too salty tasting. I don't think my husband would've been able to tell that it was turkey and not beef if I didn't tell him. I didn't give it five stars because it's not one of those "Oh my God, I love this" type recipe - but nothing bad about it.

Johnny's Grub Rub

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2003

This was a very good rub. I used it on a whole chicken that I put on my rotisserie. It gave the chicken a really good taste. I want to try it on some steaks next to see if it's just as good.

Bellyful of Barbecued Bananas

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2003

This dessert is awesome! I've been making this for years now and I continue to get rave reviews on it. I always make it in a pan and the goo that forms in the pan, I just pour over the bananas and ice cream as a topping! It's perfect. I'm not sure why other reviews commented that it was messy. I used granulated brown sugar - maybe that made the difference - but I didn't think it was messy at all.

Grilled Marinated Shrimp

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2003

I have been making this shrimp recipe for 6 years now and it really is, by far, the best shrimp recipe ever! I always ADD CILANTRO! Thanks for the tip regarding the tomato paste (I too hate wasting it).

Garlic Green Beans

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2002

I didn't like this recipe at all. Other people at the Thanksgiving table liked it, but for some reason, I didn't. I probably won't make it again, but for those who do, I'd use fresh green beans instead of canned.
