Turkey Sausage Pie

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2010

This was way better than I was expecting! I made it almost as is, but here are my changes... 1) I didn't crumble the sausage, I just sliced up the meat. This didn't affect the taste at all. 2) I added garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and crushed red pepper to the mixture. 3) I also added shredded mozz cheese to the pie prior to putting it back into the oven.. 4) I used another reviewer's suggestion and brushed the top crust with olive oil and put a dash of garlic and onion powder on. Brought some extra flavor to the dish. There's a lot that can be done with this. Use your imagination and eat it up! Thanks for a great recipe!

Turkey Lasagna with Butternut Squash, Zucchini, and Spinach

Reviewed: May 28, 2010

I have never made lasagna before, so I was worried about how this would turn out. To my amazement, it not only turned out delicious, but it actually looked good, too! I followed the recipe exactly. I don't have lasagna experience, so I'm sure other reviewers will have different ways of making this, but I can't think of any changes that should be made. Also, I recommend taking the time to make your own sauce, rather than using a jar. The sauce was wonderful and really made the dish.

Pickled Red Beet Eggs

Reviewed: May 20, 2010

I had to leave a hand written note on the container while these were marinating, instructing my husband to not eat them until they were ready. The day I took the note away, the eggs were gone. I'm assuming they were wonderful, as he asked me to make them again. Hopefully I'll get to try one next time.

Reuben Casserole

Reviewed: May 20, 2010

This is one of my husbands favorite dishes. Go figure, it's probably one of the easiest and least time consuming recipes I have! I make it as is, with another reviewers suggestion to put the dish with the bread in the oven while it's preheating. I also add some mustard to the 1000 Island dressing, to tone down some of the sweetness.

Lemony Turkey Breast

Reviewed: May 20, 2010

This was OK...I probably could have made it better, but it turned out a little too lemony for our tastes. Also, I cooked it as directed in the slow cooker and the turkey came out pretty dry. The gravy was the only saving grace. I'll try again, and maybe back down from the lemon a bit.

Green Smoothie

Reviewed: May 20, 2010

I make this almost every morning for breakfast. I first made it as written, but then I started subbing fruit for what I had in the fridge. Pears work wonderfully, instead of apples. I also add some kale for its healthful benefits. Just don't overdo it; the kale becomes really bitter before you know it!

Turkey and Quinoa Meatloaf

Reviewed: May 8, 2010

I made this exactly as it's written, and it was perfect. I had read other reviews and they had mentioned that 1tbsp of hot sauce was too much, but I thought it was perfect, just the right amount of kick.

Veggie Pasta Minus the Pasta

Reviewed: May 6, 2010

I'm giving this 4 stars only because there is a lot you can do with this recipe, it's just a matter of playing around with it. I followed it exactly, with the exception of adding some smoked turkey sausage. The flavor is wonderful, everything mixes together beautifully. I just want to spice it up slightly, maybe add some crushed red pepper. Thank you for a wonderful recipe!

Stuffed Acorn Squash Supreme

Reviewed: May 5, 2010

This was wonderful! I took another reviewer's advice and baked the squash for 1 hour at 350, with water and covered with tinfoil. I also added some butter and brown sugar to the squash. I *may* have overdone it with the brown sugar a little bit, but that's an easy fix. I omitted the butter that the rice mix called for, since I had put some in the squash. I also omitted the cheese topping. All I need to do is find a healthier rice and broccoli mix, and this recipe will become a staple in our household.

New England Dinner

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2010

We enjoyed this dish! I had read the reviews prior to trying it, and I took to heart the reviews that stated that this was bland. Prior to baking, I seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. I also mixed in dijon mustard (we love mustard in this house!), covered with foil and baked for 30 minutes. Also, I substituted Sam Adams beer for the water, just for the extra oomph. A great, easy meal! Thank you!

Sweet, Sticky and Spicy Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2009

This was fantastic! The only thing I will do different next time is to cut the chicken into thin strips and let the sauce permeate a little more. The husband definitely declared this a do again.

Spicy Turkey Burgers

Reviewed: Jun. 23, 2009

Absolutely delicious! I was looking for a way to add some flavor to plain turkey burgers, and I came across this recipe. I didn't have chile peppers, so I added some crushed red pepper and chili chiptole spice that I love. Fantastic...I made them twice in one week!

Creamy Baked Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2009

So easy and wicked conveinent! I follow the suggestion of another rater and added garlic powder and red pepper, then added a dash of chiptole chile pepper (one of my favorite spices and usually add it to everything!) I went sans sour cream because I didn't have any...gravy probably would have been creamier, but I think it's awesome the way it turned out without it! I also substituted chicken broth for the water. All in all, a great go-to recipe!

Chocolate Cookie Cheesecake

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2009

First time I made this, I made 2...one for a party and one for my husband. I don't eat cheesecake due to the richness, but I bake them regularly for my cheesecake loving husband. I used Teddy Grahms, as another person suggested. They were a huge hit among both groups of people, and the recipe was asked for by many at the party. Be warned, though! Many people could only eat a small sliver due to the richness!

Mom's Best Meatloaf

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2009

Was great for dinner and even better for lunch the next day! Just make sure you double the glaze; there was just enough there to tease you. A def do again, but this time I'll double everything so there's more for leftovers!

Spicy Stuffed Chicken Thighs

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2009

I am horrible at deboning chicken, so I just ripped everything out and rolled the sausage into the thighs and closed it with a toothpick. Still tasted great, but I would have liked it to be a little spicier. Next time I will double the crushed red pepper, and maybe add some chilli powder.

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2008

Turned out great, very tender. But there was something missing...Can't put my finger on it, but there was just a little bit of blandness to it. But still made a good meal! :)
