Simple Beef Short Ribs

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2012

I used boneless short ribs, which in this case were not deboned short ribs, but meat cut to resemble it but much leaner. This delivers a very different result than true short ribs. I used a dark lager instead of stout. This tasted great, but I could just as well have made a pot roast. If I make it again, I'll definitely use short ribs.

Slow Cooker Stuffing

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2011

Served it today for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. My wife said it was the best stuffing she ever had. She likes meat in stuffing, so I added 1/2 pound of cooked ground round. My slow cooker runs hot, and this was finished after only 2+ hours.

Oven-Baked Sesame Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2011

Thanks to the buttermilk, the chicken was certainly tender. There was a lot of buttery drippings after it was done baking; a guilty pleasure. But for some reason, my experience was different than the other reviewers: we found the chicken pretty bland. Nothing to rave about.

Artichoke Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 11, 2011

The recipe, as originally posted, is not a good guide, as I learned after I had to dump the results of my first attempt. For one thing, 30 minutes in the oven is just not long enough. The second time, I followed suggestions from others and it was great: pounded the chicken thinner; used marinated artichoke hearts (drained); and used 1/3 cup each of light sour cream and light mayo.

Authentic Cincinnati Chili

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2011

As someone else wrote, this is an acquired taste. The cloves and allspice were over-powering. If I had to do it again, I'd cut both by half, but I don't think I'll have that opportunity.

Meat Pie (Tourtiere)

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2011

Perhaps this is an acquired taste. We didn't care for it.

Chicken In Sour Cream

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2010

I cut back on the salt by making a salt-free substitute for onion soup mix. Nevertheless, the final result was not enjoyable. Chicken is my favorite meal and I have a ton of recipes, but this did not taste good.

Taiwanese Pork Chops

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2010

This was fantastic. I marinated overnight and used potato starch for the coating, as others have suggested. My wife said this was one of the best recipes I've made, and I've been doing the cooking for 27 years.

Caramelized Baked Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2010

I made chicken wings, following a suggestion to bake covered for 45 minutes and uncovered for 15. I found that doing the last portion with the convection fan turned on really helped the final step. The good news is this was really delicious. The bad news is that, despite two layers of foil, the sauce still penetrated and I spent an hour chiseling it out. This was a mess to make, and I don't know if I'll do it again.

Armenian Rice Pilaf

Reviewed: May 16, 2010

I made it per the recipe, only I cut it in half. It was a delicious... and improved... change from packaged flavored rice mix.

Slow Cooked Corned Beef for Sandwiches

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2010

I followed the recipe ingredients but cooked on Low in the slow cooker for 10 hours. I've never made corned beef, so I decided to experiment with a flat cut (medium fatty) and round cut (very lean). For sandwiches, the flat cut was definitely better tasting and more "luscious". It was as good as anything I've had in a deli. I'll probably shred the round and use it in Corned Beef Hash Cakes, which is listed elsewhere, or good old hash-and-eggs.

The Best Chicken Salad Ever

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2009

Finally, a chicken salad recipe without fruit and nuts. I used the moist meat from a fresh rotisserie chicken for this. Instead of a food processor, I hand-chopped the chicken, onions, and celery so it would have a chunkier texture. Our local Piggly Wiggly deli makes a fantastic chicken salad, and they told me it was made with slaw dressing and Miracle Whip, but I didn't know the proportions. THIS is the recipe, and I'm glad Richard posted it. It's fantastic.

Unbelievable Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 11, 2009

I wasn't sure what to expect with this. The coarse ground mustard smelled awful (I never used it before) as did the marinade itself. Happily, the result was fantastic: moist, tender, delicious flavor. My family agreed that it was the best grilled chicken I had ever made.

Crispy Orange Roughy

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2009

Since Orange Roughy wasn't available, I opted for haddock, which was listed as an alternative. All I tasted was the lemon juice. Even adding Parmesan cheese to the flakes didn't help. I won't make it again.

Ground Beef Quiche

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2009

This was really tasty and easy to make. I used 1 egg and 2 egg substitute equivalents, skim milk and low fat mayo, and didn't miss the full fat versions. I suppose I could have tried low fat cheese, but didn't think of it. On the other hand, I used a full pound of very lean ground beef instead of 1/2 pound (hey, I like meat). Used the seasonings per the recipe. I was worried it wouldn't fit in the pie crust, but no problem.

Korean BBQ Short Ribs (Gal-Bi)

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2009

Oh, was this fantastic! I used boneless short ribs; cut back a little on the minced garlic because the amount in the recipe made me nervous; added two teaspoons of sesame seeds to the marinade. Marinated overnight, then put meat & marinade in the slow cooker on low for 7 hours. Browned under the broiler briefly. Served with Jasmine rice, ladling the sauce over everything. Definitely a keeper.

Fajita Marinade I

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2009

This was fantastic. Per other reviews, I added 1/2 t each of chili powder and cumin. I'm trying to watch sodium intake, so I deleted the salt. Thanks for posting this recipe.

Pennsylvania Coal Region Barbecue

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2009

I'm a sloppy joe fanatic. I have a half-dozen recipes for it, but this one shot to the top and I'm throwing several out. I took a taste as it was cooking, and was worried that it would be too sweet. But after it simmered and the flavors combined, it was fine.

Chicken-Fried Chops

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2008

This was delicious! I added a tablespoon of Mrs. Dash to the flour mixture to resolve the "bland" comments in previous reviews. Also some onion powder.
