Easter Eggs

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2011

This is the second year in a row I've made these eggs. Last year, I ran out of the chocolate dipping sauce and there was a tremedous amount of chocolate left on the eggs and on the wax paper where I put them. This year, after melting the chocolate I used a shish kabob to pierce the egg, then I dipped only the bottom in the mixture and used a pastry brush to evenly distribute the coating and remove the excess. Once "unskewered" use the pastry brush to fill in the hole. The result were beautiful eggs and you'll have plenty of chocolate.

Baked Sweet Potato Sticks

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2008

Wonderful recipe. I've made these with yams as well. To ease the preparation and make slicing easier, pierce the potatoes with a fork or knife and microwave for 4-5 minutes depending on the size of the potato. Chili powder works great as a substitute for paprika.

Swordfish a la Siciliana

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2008

I made this last night with Halibut and it was wonderful. The only change I made was to add some anchovy paste to make it more like a putenesca sauce. The raisins are a wonderful compliment to this dish. Don't be afraid of them.

Bacon-Flavored Dog Biscuits

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2008

I was looking for recipes because I ran out of biscuits. I made a baked ham in the crock pot and had left over drippings. I substitued this for the water and bacon fat and ommitted the salt. My 120 pound Akita is in heaven. I also rolled the dough out on a floured board and used a dog cookie cutter. They turned out perfect.

Turkey Noodle Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2007

Wonderful recipes for left over turkey. I used the carcass to make the turkey broth the day before, skimming the fat off today. Added all the other ingredients and left simmer most of the day. Added one packet of the gravy mix, 1 tsp of rosemary and 1 tsp of thyme. Cook the noodles separately so they don't get too mushy. It should be wonderful tomorrow as left overs.

Delicious Chickpea Curry

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2007

Made this last night for dinner and it was spectacular. The aroma it fills the house with is incredible. I tend to play with the recipes, but this is perfect as is. Tonight I added chicken breast to the dish, and it was fabulous served with naan. Don't be afraid of the ingredients, they meld perfectly.

That's-a Meatloaf

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2007

Very good recipe. I made a honey mustard sauce to put on top of the ham and cheese. Added cilantro, onion and japlepeno peppers. The meatloaf tastes best cooked on very low heat........250 for about 2 1/2 hours. Serve with salad and garlic bread.

Diann's Chili Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2007

This is a very good basic recipe and it makes a ton. I added 4 cloves of minced garlic as opposed to garlic powderand 2 tsp. ground cumin. After it simmers (the longer the better) serve with chopped cilantro and sour cream. It freezes exceptionally well.

Yummy Sweet Potato Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2006

This recipe was wonderful, however I did take a few suggestions and added some of my own. I ommitted the white sugar (It's plenty sweet without it) and baked the potatoes as others suggested. I used brown sugar and pecans on top, and added some granola for crunch. Everyone raved about the recipe. With the leftover's I filled a pie crust and topped with additional granola..........it was awesome.

Eggplant Antipasto

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2006

What an interesting recipe. I followed another's advice and used splenda instead of sugar. I also added a minced jalepeno pepper for some heat. Next time, I'll add more olives.

Puttanesca I

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2006

Made this last night and it was unbelievable. I used a 24 oz. can of crushed tomatoes. Put a whole can of anchovies (drained), capers, and olives in the mini chopper and added that to sauce. In just 30 minutes, the sauce was done and the house smelled like an italian restaurant. My husband couldn't believe I made "homemade" sauce that quickly. This is truly wonderful.

Fabulous Zucchini Grinders

Reviewed: Aug. 5, 2006

These were fabulous, though I did take a few "liberties" with the recipe. I added garlic and onion to jar sauce to jazz it up. I have a picky 16 year old so I added Turkey meatballs. Everyone loved the sandwichs and we used the leftovers on a pizza crust covered with mozarella cheese.

Hoagie Dip

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2006

I've made this several times for work functions and always receive a bunch of requests for the recipe. I change the meat and cheese types depending on what I have on hand. Add a dash of olive oil and vinegar for added taste.

Chantal's New York Cheesecake

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2006

I made this for father's day over my husband's "concerns" it would be too heavy in the hot weather. Boy was he wrong eating two pieces himself. I topped it with kiwi and fresh strawberries and it was just sweet enough and "not" heavy at all.

Marinated Carrots

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2006

I just made this recipe from directions given to me by my mother-in-law and was going to post it when I saw this. We call this recipe "copper pennies" and it's always a hit. These carrots stay good for up to a month in the fridge. The only modification in my recipe is it only calls for 1/2 cup sugar and a dash of worchester sauce.

Black Bean Aloha Shrimp Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2006

This recipe is very good and quite adaptable. I cooked the shrimp in a little garlic and red pepper. The sweetness of the pineapple and coconut meld great with the other ingrediants. You won't be disappointed.
