Kalua Pig in a Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2012

This was AWESOME!! It is hard to believe that so few ingredients created such a flavorful meal. The only "mistake" I made was to pour the juice back over the meat when I stored it. While it kept the meat from drying out, the salt was reabsorbed and it became very salty the next day. Other than that, it was wonderful!

Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding I

Reviewed: Jan. 24, 2011

This is a great and easy recipe. I split the milk so that it is only about 2 cups of milk and 2 cups of cream. It makes it so rich and good. Definately the best rice pudding recipe I've found so far. Oh, I used freshly grated nutmeg and it makes a huge difference

Mother's Ham Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 24, 2011

This is pretty good. It takes a long time to make, but it certainly qualifies as comfort food. It is a good way to use up holiday ham.

Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Reviewed: Jan. 24, 2011

This was just wonderful and so easy to make. The only change I made was that I used fresh spinach that I chopped. I also drizzled some olive oil on top and then sprinkled some of Emeril's chicken spices on it. It was absolutely delicious! The chicken was perfect and not dried out at all. I would have normally preferred to have the outside of the chicken golden brown, but it tasted so good that it didn't matter

Blueberry Bars

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2009

These weren't bad. My blueberries sank to the bottom, but it didn't alter the taste at all. It was a nice experiment though.

Roasted Garlic Bread

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2009

This wasn't bad, but I did mess it up a bit at first. I had the broiler up too high or just had it in for too long. Either way, the edges burnt and the underside of the bread was untoasted. The second time I tried this, I decided to bake it instead of broiling it and toasted nicely on all sides. Also, I added some motz cheese which was a nice touch. Will tweak the recipe a bit more for my own tastes, but it is certainly worth a try as it is.

World's Best Lasagna

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2009

This was pretty good. I left out a few things as my own preference like the extra salt and the water and it turned out wonderfully. I sort of compromised on the "cook the noodles/don't cook the noodles" debate. Because I split the dish into two 8X8 pans instead of one large one, it was better for me to cook the noodles just long enough to make them pliable because I had to cut a 2" piece off of each noodle to make it fit. It was much easier with the noodles slightly cooked otherwise they just shattered. It was very good and I know the 2nd pan I put in the freezer will be even better.

Easy Morning Glory Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 19, 2009

These tasted really good, but they didn't rise up for me. The just stayed flat. They were really moist and delicious, so I will certainly make them again.

Sweet Potato Casserole II

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2009

This is really good, but a little too sweet in my opinion. Next time I will decrease the sugar, but other than that it is terrific.

Grilled Salmon I

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2009

This is pretty great! I omitted the salt because of there being so much salt in the soy sauce and it was perfect. Couldn't improve on it if I tried.

Sweet and Nutty Moroccan Couscous

This is fantastic! Nutty and sweet but not too much. Perfect as a compliment to other Moroccan dishes. Much better than I expected. Will certainly make again.

Pomegranate Stew with Chicken (Khoresh Fesenjan)

Reviewed: May 28, 2009

This was pretty good. I'm used to Indian food so even though they aren't the same I was hoping it would have had a bit more spice (flavor not chili hot). It wasn't bad though and I would probably make it again. It certainly doesn't look the prettiest, but did taste better than it looked. Even better the second day.

Fasoliyyeh Bi Z-Zayt (Syrian Green Beans with Olive Oil)

Reviewed: May 28, 2009

These are really good. Normally, I make green beans "southern style", but this is a great and most likely healthier alternative. The olive oil does do something magical to the beans. Will certainly make again.

Shrimp Scampi Bake

Reviewed: May 26, 2009

I love this recipe! The flavors are so good and it is really easy to make. I add it to freshly cooked pasta (linguini, etc) to make a great meal. It seems too plain without the pasta and has plenty of sauce to coat the pasta well. I get rave reviews evertime I make it.

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2009

This is fabulous! The only thing I changed was I didn't add the salt because I don't eat a lot of salt in my diet. It was wonderful! It thickened up nicely and had had the most delicious flavor. Can't wait to make again.

Cheapskate Stew

Reviewed: Mar. 2, 2009

This was far better than I expected. I just loved it. I had to add a little extra water because I simmered it so long that some of the water evaporated. It still turned out wonderfully. Will certainly make again.

Boston Baked Beans

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009

I, too, cooked this in a crock pot. Turned out pretty good. I prefer it with a little more brown sugar, but this wasn't bad at all. Will certainly make again.
