Mom's Fabulous Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuit Crust

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2012
Oh my gosh, so yummy! I used chicken thighs and mushroom broth and it was soooo good! You can assemble the mixture on the stove top in an oven safe pan or cast iron skillet and throw the whole thing in the oven and you have an awesome one dish dinner! I served with a simple green salad and it was the perfect Monday night dinner.

Cathy's Banana Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2009
Super yummy, dense and spongy. I wanted a recipe that used sour cream and gave this a try and it was a hit. I made it in a hurry so perhaps that's why mine didn't rise much but that didn't matter. My hubby gave it his seal of approval saying that it was "pretty tasty!" this bread wasn't dry at all, really moist and dense and delish.

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2009
This was a wonderful, simple and fast soup that really was a pleaser! This recipe is a keeper. I did add some thyme and also just used low sodium chicken broth instead of the water and chicken boullion to cut down on sodium and it worked great. Served with some pesto French bread.

Curried Chicken and Brown Rice Casserole

Reviewed: May 23, 2010
OK, so I am reviewing the recipe that I tweeked a bit. I had about 4 cups of leftover brown and wild rice from dinner the night before along with about 2-3 cups of roast chicken thighs and some breast meat from earlier in the week so I omitted the water and chicken bouillon and used a whole 15.5 oz can of Itilian style stewed tomatoes and followed the recipe from there and just cooked the whole thing in the oven for about half an hour until bubbly. Such a great combination of flavors, my boys were skeptical when they saw the raisins but mmmmmm, so yummy they fought over the last spoonfuls! Winning recipe.

Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2010
Loved this! I reduced the Italian dressing by about a third to cut down on sodium and will try and find low sodium soup next time. Replaced part of the mix with garlic powder and pepper and also added mushrooms and served w/ egg noodles. My one year old twins loved it and so did the rest of the family.

Potato Salmon Patties

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2010
When I can make something that my teenagers will eat, my husband will eat and my twin one year olds will eat I am in heaven! Whipped these up (doubled the recipe) and served with some basmati rice and veggies and ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. Replaced my curried salmon cake recipe with this since not everyone in my house is a curry lover and I will definately make these again!

Yummy Yellow Taters

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2009
These were really good. I used this recipe for Easter dinner and everyone liked them though I might not use them every night just because they are so rich and after a few dinners of these I won't be able to fit into my Calvin Kleins. I had leftover which I used for shepherds pie. I only added 2 drops of food coloring though I think they are fine w/o it too. Only thing is I added all the half and half at once rather than slowly and so my taters were a little thin but still good.

Steff's Shepherd Pie

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2009
5 stars for just plain ease. I did not have any green beans so I didn't add these but everything else was great. So simple that chances are you have everything on hand to make this in no time also a great way of using up leftover mashed potatos and the kids will gobble it up.

Chicken Pot Pie I

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2009
I liked this recipe because it is super fast and easy and has room for adjusments. I used Pillsbury ready pie crusts and one can cream of mushroom soup one can cream of chicken. I used frozen mixed veggies (carrots, peas, corn and greenbeans) and also peeled and diced up a medium russet potato. Finally I added some garlic powder, pepper and a handful of fresh herbs (thyme, oregano, parsley and sage) finely minced and it was really good. I can see using any number of leftovers for this dish as well. Though not gormet, the ease, speed and overall taste is really good.

BREAKSTONE'S Curried Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2010
Great way of making sweet potatos exciting. The curry smelled wonderful and the sour cream added the right amount of creaminess and zing. My toddlers ate these up as did my teens and the hubby. Served with brown rice and a simple marinated chicken breasts for a quick and healthy weeknight dinner.

Simple Whole Wheat Bread

Just awsome! Used all purpose flour, didn't seem to affect the outcome. This is my new favorite bread recipe!

Buffet Meatballs

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2010
These were really yummy and people were really surprised when they asked what was in them and I told them. Strangely some people thought I added chili pepper to them because something in the sauce brought out some kick in the Costco meatballs I used but not really spicy, just a little kick. I did not have to throw any away and they were gobbled up.

Swiss Chard with Garbanzo Beans and Fresh Tomatoes

Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2009
Really great way to use swiss chard which in my opinion is one of the most beautiful and healthful veggies there is. My son wasn't a fan of the lemon but I thought it balanced the bitterness of the chard. The garbonzo beans (aka chickpeas) added creaminess but I actually think it could do without the tomatos if you don't like them. I served with some roast turkey breasts and whole wheat dinner rolls for a really nice, easy dinner.

Turkey Cutlets with Tomato Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2009
This was very good and used items I had on hand. I used a cup of diced canned tomatos instead, increased the mushrooms and omitted the lemon juice. After browning the cutlets I added them to the sauce, covered and continued cooking until turkey was cooked through. I pre-seasoned the turkey with salt, pepper and garlic powder before cooking and the sauce reduced down a bit during cooking to intensify the flavors. I would definately make this again.

Blackberry Peach Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2009
What a nice summer pie. Peaches and blackberries are in season at the same time here in the Northwest and so it seemed perfect to pair them in a pie. The peaches and berries really have a nice flavor together and the berries give the pie filling a lovely red color. I used more peaches and less berries just because I could only get 2 cups of berries off my small bushes but I had a ton of peaches to use. Serve with a little vanilla icecream and enjoy.

Southern Peach Cobbler

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2009
Wonderful and simple recipe. I've made it twice now and both time got rave reviews. If your peaches are very ripe you may want to add a smidge more corn starch to help thicken it up though. Great flavor, I always added a bit more spices just cause I'm that way. Very good, very easy and all around great recipe.

Baked Havarti Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009
Such a simple dish that really mixes things up at dinner. I wasn't sure about the combination of ingredients but it really worked. I ended up using Italian seasoning and plain havarti but it worked fine. I also used fresh garlic with the mushroom sauce. Really a big hit with the whole family and sooo easy!

Sparkling Punch

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2010
This was a really nice punch, not really strong and just really pretty and fizzy. I was afraid that I would have a bunch left over since I only had about 13 people to serve but nope, it all got guzzled down by my guests even though I also had tea and coffee offered. Great recipe. If you have more thatn about 15 people you will probably want double the ingredients on hand since this will be a hit.

Best Guacamole

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2010
Fabulous! I've never made guacamole before even though it's one of my favorite things to eat and I have high standards for my guac. This was so easy, fast and most of all, delicious. Like others I added some minced cilantro and some diced tomatos for added color. Letting it sit for an hour or 2 in the fringe will ensure it doesn't taste lemony so be sure you make it a little ahead of time. Sooo good!

Fast and Delicious Black Bean Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2009
5 stars just because this recipe is so versitile. I used left over shredded pork instead of ham and added an extra carrot and more broth and more cumin. Really tasty and easy! Served with the buttery corn bread recipe on this site.
