Great Chicken Salad

Reviewed: May 14, 2012

I really liked this and so did my husband. Never used the food processor before for this but it helped to make it fine enough for a sandwich, instead of the usual chunky. I reduced the celery a little and added some finely chopped green pepper. Hubby doesn't like too much celery. Plus i used chicken that had been on-the-bone chicken breasts. Used Marzetti cole slaw dressing, the only kind I could find. Susie

Potato, Broccoli and Cheese Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2012

This is a delicious soup. I only make half for the 2 of us. I have made it as is and sometimes I trade some of the potato for more broccoli. It comes out greenish, a neat idea for St. Patty's Day. I recommend removing the soup from heat, and gradually whisking in the cheese so it doesn't curdle. I used sharp cheddar. Also it is nice to use a stick blender directly in the soup pot. Like others, I also cooked the broccoli in with the potatoes toward the end. I cooked till real tender. Thank you Ruth from Susie.

Texas Sheet Cake I

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2012

My recipe just like this one has buttermilk instead of sour cream. Be sure the hot liquid has cooled down before you add it to eggs. Otherwise your eggs will "cook" before you want them to. Also you can make this in a 13 x 9 pan for a thicker cake. It will take a bit longer to bake. One person mentioned not liking the frosting being too thick and the cake too thin. I let my cake cool for about 30 min. before adding the frosting.

Easiest Peanut Butter Fudge

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2011

Yes, it is real sweet. And I cut the brown sugar down to 2 cups. Also sifted the powdered sugar to prevent lumps. I was afraid it would not work out since sifting might change the measurements, but it worked fine. I agree with other reviewers that it could use more pnut butter taste. Might try to add more next time. Thanks Angie, Susie

Tater Tot Taco Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2011

This is easy & good. Also good with crushed fritoes in place of the potatoes. I make the full pound of meat & whole pkg. of taco mix. Then we eat half of it at a time, makes 2 meals for the 2 of us. I add diced tomatoes to the lettuce. You can also use salsa for the taco sauce. Easy supper!!!

Hasty Chocolate Pudding

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2011

Very good. I added 1 Tbsp. butter, but not necessary. I used dark cocoa one time and it was good too. Also you could cook this in a 3 qt. saucepan on top of the stove.

Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2011

It was good but I used half as much brown sugar and it was still plenty sweet. Followed others advice to add green onions later in the cooking. At last minute I threw in some steamed broccoli florets to have more veg. Over rice, it is a one dish meal. - Susie

Simple Guacamole

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2010

Love it!! Thanks, Heidi for the simple but delish recipe. I used lime juice one time and it was great too. I served it as a dip with chips and a clump of it on top of shredded lettuce. My husband & I ate the whole recipe. Thought it wasn't going to be salty enough, but chips make up for that. Susie

Sleepy Hollow Chicken Salad Supreme

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2010

Very good. Had to subst toasted almonds for the pecans, I had currants so I used them instead of golden raisins. Don't think it would matter. It maybe could use a touch more curry as some others have suggested. Susie

Graham Cracker Bars

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2010

If you like coconut real well, you should like these. Easier way to frost them is: as soon as remove from oven place candy bars on top. Wait a few minutes & spread. They will easily melt. I like the Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars from this site better.

Spicy Rapid Roast Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2010

This is delicious just as written. I didn't change one thing. Next time I will put foil in the pan under it. Maybe coat the foil w/cooking spray or use the non-stick foil, which I like.

Honey Lemon Tea

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2009

Tastes weak as written. It will be better if you brew a tea bag or green tea bag in the boiling water for 5 minutes,then add the remaining ingredients. Use decaf if needed. That is a personal preference.

Juicy Fruit Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2009

Very good and refreshing. I did add an extra orange. For color, I used red grapes instead plus I like them better than the green ones. Thanks, Bobbie from Susie

Taco Soup I

Reviewed: Oct. 22, 2008

Wow this was so easy and very good. My husband woofed it down. I used Mexican style stewed tomatoes, slightly pureed, ground sirloin and followed the recipe's amount for taco seasoning. It was spicy and slighly hot. I also drained my beans as someone else suggested, didn't rinse them. Didn't have avocado but sprinkled cheese and crushed fritoes on top. Yum. Great on a cold raw night. Susie

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Sep. 30, 2008

These are very good. Used "new" crisco and part real butter, part smart balance and they turned out very good. You could chill the dough, roll into balls and fork-mark them, but they are quicker to drop as in the directions. Only change: I used 1/2 cup white sugar instead of 3/4 as someone else suggested and they were plenty sweet enough. Also added 1 t. vanilla.

Estrellita Salad

Reviewed: May 4, 2008

Very good & colorful & refreshing. I used a little less dressing than recipe called for. Use CRUSHED Fritoes on top of each serving, similar to a familiar Mexican salad. I seeded the cucumber and tomatoes. The "Western" brand dressing available in the midwest is very good for this and I used the light version. It is very similar to Catalina. Also I used a little less green onion. I will try as someone else suggested and add drained black beans next time. This is so great for summer. Will enjoy this a lot, Thanks to Mrs Potts from Susie

Spicy Turkey Chili

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2008

Used canned chicken but any cooked chicken or poultry will do. Didn't see canned turkey at the store. Canned chicken is tender & convenient. I thought it could use maybe twice as much meat. Anyway, it is good, if you like things spicy and real tomato-y. It is spicy but not real "hot." We added cooked macaroni to tone it down a bit, but it was a good, easy chili. Instead of slow cooking it, I brought to a boil and simmered covered real low for a couple of hours. Thanks, from Susie

Daria's Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2008

This is very good, although I did like others and used only 8 oz. of sour cream which is typical for a normal size recipe of beef stroganoff. I used top round but to make it taste better, I browned the meat first then added it to the crock. Browning improves flavor. Also, I start my crock on high for 1 hour and then turn to low. The meat came out real tender. Top round is real lean.

Healing Cabbage Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2008

This recipe came at a perfect time. I needed to use up a pkg of slaw mix and the date was going to expire. The only changes I made (and you could do a lot of personalizing on this one)were to add celery, a little more onion and diced carrot and subst one can of chicken broth for part of the water in addition to the granules. And I used the entire can of tomatoes and pureed them before adding them to the soup. Also added a scoop of cooked rice to each seving. This is great if you are sick or well and it would be very soothing if you are sick with cold/flu. Thanks, JG from Susie

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2007

As everyone else says it is very good. I left out salt since granules are salty. Only thing I added was parsley flakes. Very comforting and homey. Thanks, Ellie, from Susie
