Easy OREO Truffles

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2011

I didn't change a single thing in this recipe and it was phenomenal!! I made these for a family reunion this weekend and was crowned the "chef" of the family! Like I had read in some reviews, it is a bit time consuming, but only to make them look "pretty"; if I didn't have to concentrate on the presentation side of it, it would have gone a lot faster. Either way they were delicious and I will definitely keep these as my go to recipe to impress my guests!

Ground Beef Zucchini Skillet

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2010

This was really good but since I didn't make it exactly like the recipe I didn't want to give it 5stars. I skipped the onions (didn't have any), tomatoes (picky eater asked me to), corn (honestly, I forgot as I was making because I didn't have the recipe pulled up while cooking) and I added tomato paste and yellow squash. It was delicious that way over cork screw noodles and then I had some leftovers without noodles and it was great that way too. Next time I'll try it as printed and revise my rating if it turns out better as it was intended by the recipe.

Spinach Chicken Enchiladas

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009

I made the recipe as it says and it was great!! I had a request to make spinach chicken enchilada's and this was the only recipe I found on allrecipes.com. Next time I might add some green chiles or pepper jack cheese but that's only because I like my enchilada's to have a little more of a kick. It was still great without them though :)

Pork Tenderloin Marinade

Reviewed: Apr. 16, 2009

Perfect go to marinade that can be used for grilling or baking. Most items already on hand so a perfect recipe to use for last minute pork meals.

Beef Steaks With Blue Cheese

Reviewed: Mar. 25, 2008

WOW! That pretty much covers it. This was a super easy recipe and it tasted delicious!!! There were only two things I did differently, one was to grill the steaks rather than use the broiler. We're very partial to grilled steaks in our house so there was no other option for us. Second difference was to use "I can't believe it's not butter" rather than butter, simply because we did nto have any butter in the house. Having nothing to compare it to, I say it worked just fine. I will definitely make this recipe again!

Apple Raisin French Toast Strata

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2007

I followed some other reviewer's leads and used apple pie filling and it worked really well. I was a little worried about how it would taste since it looked kind of mushy but it really did taste like french toast! I was happily surprised. I think next time I may use smaller chunks of cream cheese or use others' suggestions of spreading it on the bread because while I liked the chunks and the taste of the cream cheese, after awhile it started to overpower the rest of the tastes in the dish. It's a keeper none the less. :)

Cheesy Stuffed Lobster

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2007

I'm rating this a 3* rating rather than a 5 simply due to the difficulty of the recipe and the presentation. If you look past how awful they look, they tasted awesome! If it was a little easier to make and they looked like what you would envision them to look, they would get 5 stars. But I did make this recipe over 2 years ago when I was first starting to cook, so maybe I should give them another shot now that I know what the heck I'm doing...So I think I will change the rating to 4* :)

Easy Sausage Strata

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2007

This recipe was really easy to make and tasted great! I made a few changes only due to not having the exact ingredients on hand. We never have real eggs on hand (we always use Egg Starts from Costco) so I used the egg start equivalant for the 6 eggs it called for. We also use multi-grain bread all the time so I used that rather than just plain white bread. I think that the bread added a lot to the recipe since it had sunflower seeds in it, it added some extra texture to an overall mushy dish. I don't mean mushy in a bad way though, I think the texture was just how I envisioned it. I also added some turkey bacon to the recipe as I had it on hand and who doesn't like a little bacon added to a meal? I added some slices of pepperjack cheese for a little kick and when all was said and done it was one of the best breakfasts we've ever had! My boyfriend's dad was visiting us which was the main reason I made it. He's supposedly a very picky eater according to his son, his wife and him himself, but he ate it to the surprise of everyone. This one is definitely a keeper!

Cheesy Brat Stew for the Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2005

When I came across this recipe, I thought for sure I had found a winner since we love brats, cheese and potatoes. What we ended up with was far from that. The potatoes were barely done, the "sauce" was greasy and thin and it didn't really taste anything like cheese. I'm not sure if our expectations were too high or if I am just too new to the slow cooking world and I didn't know enough secrets to fix it up like some of the reviews I read afterwards had listed, but I seriously doubt I will be making this again anytime soon. Why waste perfectly good brats when we can grill out?
