London Broil II

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2012

I used flank steak. London Broil has been made for years with flank steak. Relatively recently, butchers have been cutting cheap beef round about two inches thick and calling it "London Broil." The real, flavorful thing is flank steak and that's what you should use. Jill is right on with recipe.

Penne Pasta Lasagna

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2012

The proportion of ricotta was way too high in relation to meat sauce, which made it very dry. Rather bland, too, as others have noted.

Kikkoman Chinese Pepper Steak

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2011

I guess Hoisin Sauce just isn't for me . . . way too sweet. First time I ever had a main course that was sweeter than the desert. Too bad, because it was very quick and easy.

Pork Roast With The World's Best Pork Loin Rub

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2011

This rub is OK, but far from the World's Best. The rub from Chris Lilley in another Pork Board recipe, Rubbed and Grilled Pork Loin, is vastly superior. This one somehow manages to be a little too sweet and a little too spicy at the same time.

Southern-style Oven-fried Catfish

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2011

This one is pure perfection. My wife doesn't like catfish, and there isn't much that I like better. I can cut this recipe in half and stuff myself and let her eat chicken. Cooking time is right on the money, and the coating is excellent. I use half water and half hot sauce with the egg, but it is easy to adjust to your taste.

Kraft® Triple-Layer Lemon Pie

Reviewed: Jul. 27, 2011

This one is a inner. So easy. So good. My wife is diabetic, so I used sugar-free pudding and lite Cool Whip. It did fine.

Caribbean Delight

Reviewed: May 13, 2011

I thought this was going to be quite spicy, but there wasn't a lot of heat. There was, however, a lot of flavor and I'll be throwing this one on the grill a lot this summer.

Tex-Mex Beef and Cheese Enchiladas

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2011

I've never eaten enchiladas quite like these, but they are excellent. Spices are just right for me, but easily adjustable if you like hotter or milder. Easy to cut in half if serving only two, as is the case for wife and me.

Chicken Breasts in Caper Cream Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2009

Not bad, but to my taste not nearly as good as so many other chicken recipes in my collection.

Georgia Dirt Bombs

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2009

Easy, quick and tasty. A bit too sweet for me. Next time I'll finish with much less of the cinnamon sugar. But I tend to like things less sweet than the average bear and the recipe will probably be fine as is for most people.

Burgundy Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2009

Got to invite someone over for dinner soon, because this is definitely company fare -- not that it isn't fine for just the wife and me (although that requires cutting it in half, and still leaves leftovers. When I served it, my wife said, "Oh, that looks so good." When she tasted it, she said, "Tastes good, too; really good. This is a keeper." So easy, too. Browned tenderloin in skillet before putting in oven, and added mushrooms, as another reviewer suggested, and it wasn't nearly done after 45 minutes; needed about 15 minutes more.

Cajun Baked Catfish

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2009

This is a fine recipe if you don't love catfish. The problem is that if you do love catfish (and I do), the spices completely mask the flavor of the fish. On the plus side, it is very easy, very quick.

Paula's Bread Sticks

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2009

I can make tasty biscuits and cornbread. I can make popovers that pot right through the roof. But I've never been able to make decent rolls despite trying dozens of recipes, some that seem to work perfectly for other people. These bread sticks are a wonderful substitute, and as an earlier reviewer noted, they reheat beautifully after freezing (15 minutes in foil at 350).

Classic Veal Marsala

Reviewed: May 8, 2009

I made this with pork and found it easy to make and to cut in half since there are only two of us. My wife's reaction was, "This is way too sweet; I don't like sweet meat," so I guess I won't be making it again, but if the sweetness isn't a problem for you, give it a try.

Cheeseburger Soup III

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2008

When my wife saw this recipe, she said, "I don't think it will be very good, but I'm willing to try it." I made it for lunch today, following the recipe precisely, and she loved it. I did too. It's the only acceptable use I know of for Velveeta cheese. Can't imagine it without the jalapena and cayenne; the spiciness is what makes it.

Chicken Enchiladas with Creamy Green Chile Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2008

I thought these enchiladas were excellent, but my wife found them rather bland and said she would prefer that I not make them again. She likes things spicy, though, and if your tastebuds don't match you'll probably like this.

Quick and Easy Home Fries

Reviewed: May 28, 2008

If you've read many of my reviews you know I don't hand out 5-star ratings for anything but recipes I consider extraordinary, but this one deserves it. It's hard to believe that anything so fast and simple could taste so good. Works best for me with potato cubes that are cut about 3/8-inch square.

Ham and Chicken Casserole

Reviewed: May 23, 2008

This one is easy and to my taste works best when you increase the amount of cheese a bit and add half of it to the sauce. Chicken is wasted, though. Just can't taste it. Next time I'll just use a bit more ham and omit chicken.(Chicken might work with a milder cheese though.)

Grecian Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: May 15, 2008

My wife's verbal review after a couple of bites said it best: "I'd given up on pork tenderloin because they're usually just about tasteless, but this is so good!" Very easy, too.
