Grilled Sausage with Potatoes and Green Beans

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2011

I make this at least 1x a month & roast indoors @400. I omitted the butter & added 1 red bell pepper. First, I seared sausage in a nonstick oven proof skillet w/some Worcester sauce then removed the sausage & added a little EVOO to the pan, 4 tsp. minced garlic & the green beans to soften them up a bit. If I don't have fresh, I use Birdseye Steamfresh green beans. Next, I mixed in my potatoes, onions & sliced red bell pepper. Add seared sausage to the mixture, tossing all ingredients to coat. Covered pan w/aluminum foil and baked for 40 min; removing foil last 20 min. stirring occasionally. The flavors were sensational!

Beef Noodle Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2011

Total comfort food! I used dry, no yolk dumpling noodles, 5 c. Emeril's Organic Beef Stock + 1 c. of his Veg. Stock in place of bouillon & water. Didn't have stewing beef, so I substituted some left over Roast Beef that I cooked in my crock pot & added the last 30 min. with the noodles. Hubby & I ate this for dinner with a grilled cheese on sourdough & tomatoes with left overs for lunch! Yum Yum! A keeper for sure.

Sinfully delicious! Scaled for 2. Used 2 thick boneless chops browned chops in oven-proof skillet; added 2 sliced apples on top; doubled brown sugar, cinnamon & sprinkled on top, dot w/butter; substituted chick broth for sherry (didn't have on hand) & poured over all. Covered & baked 20 min. Removed chops & kept warm, thickened sauce w/1 Tsp. of cornstarch & chick broth. Next time will definitely use sherry!

Chicken Florentine Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2011

Hubby LOVED it! Skipped 1st step. Sauté fresh spinach & mushrooms in a little butter then placed in bottom of my dish, placed uncooked chicken on top, added sauce & topped it off with real crumbled bacon (about 10 slices). Baked at 350 for 25 min. Removed from oven, topped w/1 C. mozzarella & baked 10 minutes at 350. Yummy!

Original Chex® Party Mix

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2011

Baked in oven @250 for 1 hour, stirring every 15 min. Used Crispix, Goldfish pretzels, Honey Cheerios instead of bagel chips, 1/2 c. cocktail peanuts, 1/2 c. cashews & doubled spices based on previous comments. Doubling the spices was key, otherwise this would have been a 5 star review! LOVED it!

Roasted Potatoes with Greens

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2010

Excellent! I used red potatoes cut into small pieces & sauteed them in an oven ready pan in butter w/garlic & onion to help soften them up (about 10 min.) before baking. I didn't have fresh rosemary, so I ended up using crushed rosemary along with 2 cups fresh spinach. Definitely will make these again ... Yum!

Chicken Breasts with Balsamic Vinegar and Garlic

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2010

SO delish! This is a fast favorite of ours & one I make at least 2x a month. I omit the flour & use sliced portobello mushrooms. Love to serve it with fresh baked asparagus & roasted red potatoes. A yummy dinner that can be on the table in 40 minutes or less (if you don't do roasted potatoes).

Cabbage Beef Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2010

Delicious! I seasoned ground beef & sauteed with onions. Substituted 2 cans of petite diced tomatoes for the tomato sauce, & 3 cups of Emeril's Organic Beef Broth for bouillon cubes/water + 1 cup of chick broth. We like a brothy soup! I did leave out the cumin based on previous reviews & used all of a small head of cabbage. I did this on the stove top in a ceramic cast iron pot after bringing all ingredients to a small boil, then simmered covered for 2 hours on low. My hubby raved about it & I enjoyed it as well!

Grandma Ople's Apple Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2010

OMGoodness but this was sinfully delicious! I pride myself in baking a truly outstanding pie, but let me tell you, this pie --- takes the award! And now my hubby asks for this all the time!! LOL The only exceptions I made were lightly sprinkling cinnamon on my apples then mixing the sauce in with the apples leaving just enough to drizzle over my lattice. I did cover the crust edge with foil until last 20 min. And I used Golden Delicious Apples, always my choice when it comes to pie baking! Try this, you won't regret it!

Day Before Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2010

Unbelievably yummy! Made EXACTLY as written except made the same day & I used just a dash of the onion powder (youngest daugh hates onions) & I'm happy I did. There was just a hint of onion flavor, enough as not to overpower all that other yummy goodness. Oh, I did use Yukon Golds. Definitely making these again!

Crispy Rosemary Chicken and Fries

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2010

Yum! Used chicken breasts (cut in strips) and mixed fresh seasoning with red potatoes and EVOO. I then removed the chicken & roasted the potatoes @375 for 30 minutes on a cookie sheet, turned potatoes over to brown other side & added the seasoned chicken strips to roast together the last 30 min. turning everything over once more before the last 15 minutes for extra crispness! Potatoes were perfectly crisped & chicken moist & tender! Definitely will be making this one again!

Tomato, Basil, and Feta Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2010

FAB-u-lous! Used grape tomatoes along with red onions, cucumbers & fresh asparagus. No fresh basil on hand, so used dry and had to add a bit of honey (my balsamic vinegar wasn't the best) and marinated everything except feta cheese for about 5 hours b4 serving. LOVED it! Will make again & again this summer, using fresh basil!

Camp David Spaghetti with Italian Sausage

Reviewed: May 28, 2010

dElish! Pleasantly surprised out how good this sauce turned out!! I did scale this down to a serving for 2 using 1 large can of peeled whole tomatoes & a small jar of Prego 3 Cheese Spaghetti Sauce. I didn't remove my sausage casing, but rather cut them into smaller bite-size pieces & found them a little bit tough, so next time, will definitely remove casing & make them into meatball size!

Sour Cream Pound Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2010

Talk about quick and delicious! I loved that this desert uses so few ingredients and can be ready to enjoy almost as soon as it comes out of the oven! I baked mine at 350 for approx 55 min. Eggs & butter should be at room temperature, and I cut sugar to 1 cup and added a dash of vanilla extract. Served with slice peaches one day, then fresh sliced strawberries the next.
