I chose this recipe because I had some Fat Free Catalina dressing to get rid of. I went with the Taco Doritos as other suggested but I changed the rest up by adding some corn, black beans and cilantro. I thought the dressing would be too sweet but it wasn't. I still like my version of Ranch Dressing and Salsa mixed together much better. But I do like the idea of using the Fat Free Catalina and saving a ton of calories. 1/4 cup is way too small amount of dressing. More like 1 cup. And the suggested amount of chips are pretty whimpy too.

Munn Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2012

A crisp cookie that holds it shape. Texture is like a shortbread. Definitely add the sugar to the top. It needs it. I rolled into a log and chilled for an hour. Then sliced and bake. I was looking for someting a little more "lemony"

Homemade Italian Turkey Sausage

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2012

Not a huge fan of fennel, which is why I set out to try and make my own. Store bought always seems to be too much fennel. So I tried this with no fennel. I added sage, basil and red pepper. Just ok. Will have to try again with maybe half the fennel. I didn't have time to wait the 8 hours so will have to give it another go for that reason too. Probably really helps develop the flavor.

Fluffy Whole Wheat Biscuits

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2012

My dough was a sticky mess. I didn'twant to over-work the dough by adding in more flour so I did to do a drop biscuits instead. Good thing I was serving these with a chicken style stew on top for chicken and biscuits because these are tasteless.

Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Caramel Rum Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2012

I found some pumpkin bread in the freezer and thought I would give this a try. I had eight cups so I went ahead and doubled it. My bread was really moist so I only used 2 cups of half and half. In fact, I toasted the cubes to dry them out a little. I added 1 cup pumpkin puree to the custard mix with some pumpkin pie spice. Also sprinkled in some dark chocolate chips. Let soak for 15 minutes before cooking. I didn't make the sauce, I just splased on some butterscotch snapps.

Easy Lemon Bars for Junior Chefs

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2012

my lemon pie filling was totally tasteless, so I added some lemon extract and lemon peel. I have seen this recipe before but it called for 1/2 the amount of lemon pie filling. So that is what I used.

Caramelized Baked Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2012

Threw some boneless, skinlesss chicken thighs in the bottom of the crock pot. Poured the sauce over and cooked for three hours on low. ( I added some onion flakes and a pinch of pepper flakes for some heat) Pulled the chicken out. Added a slurry of 4 teaspoons cornstarch and 6 tablespoons of water and bumped the heat to high until the sauce got thick. Served over rice. So good. So easy. Everyone liked it.

Colleen's Slow Cooker Jambalaya

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2012

I increased the chicken broth to one whole can and the creole seasoning (Tony's)to 2 tablespoons. I started cooking this on low. After 3 hours the veggies were still crunchy so I was worried I would run out time so I increased it to high another 3 hours. Then, I added 1 3/4 cup of long grain brown rice. It took another 45 minutes for the rice to cook and when it was done I stirred in UNCOOKED shrimp. It only took a few minutes for the heat of the jambalya to cook up the shrimp. With 5 of us, I was expecting left-overs. There weren't any. :(

Black Bean and Rice Enchiladas

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2012

I took the easy way and used a favorite enchilada sauce for these, instead of the picante, spices and salsa. Super easy to throw together and ingredients I always have. I put chunks of cheddar in with the beans and rice. It gave it a some nice cheesiness on the inside. And then topped with more cheese. I used the same amount of filling but only filled four tortillas. This will be great to make for meatless Mondays.

Sloppy Joe Bake

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2012

Made this into a pie using one can of the reduced fat crescent rolls as the bottom layer. (Pre-cooked for about 5 minutes) Then topped it with ground turkey and just used bbq sauce. To give it a little more substance and to squeeze in some veggies, I added a can of kidney beans, corn and red pepper. Topped with a blend of reduced fat gruyere and cheddar. My family loved it. There was none left.

Easy Corn Chowder II

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2012

I didn't want the extra carbs from the potatoes so I omitted them. But I did add some diced carrot. Super quick and easy to throw together but the flavor itself was just ok for us. Glad I used 1 % evaportaed milk, it was plenty rich. Used chipotle instead of cayenne. Topped with lime tortilla chips. This would be pretty small portions for 6 people.

Asian-Inspired Mustard Greens

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2012

The spiciness of raw mustard greens reminds me of wasabi, so I thought this would be intresting to try with the Asian twist. The spiciness mellows to almost nothing. The greens got to bitter for me. I love kale and thought this would be a nice change. I still like kale better and maybe will try this recipe with kale. I paired it with some edamame rice for a nice meatless meal.

Original Irish Cream

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2012

Based on all the reviews I came up with: 1 cup half and half, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup of Irish Whiskey, 1 teaspoon instant coffee, 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup and 2 teaspoon vanilla. Perfect. So glad I swapped out the heavy cream for 1/2 and 1/2. The heavy cream would have been to thick for my liking. And I don't like almond extract so I just doubled the vanilla.

Persimmon Bars

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2012

How funny that this is the same recipe that my great grandma used to make persimmon cookies. Her recipe has an extra half cup of flour. I actually like it better than the cake-like cookie. A lot easier too. No nuts and no glaze and I prefer 1/8 teaspoon clove.

Easy Smoked Salmon Pasta

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2012

I realize this is supposed to be a light sauce, but it really needs to be doubled. My noodles quickly soaked up the sauce and it was too dry. All I had was fat-free half and half. I used a hard-wood smoked salmon (not the lox, cold smoked salmon). The salmon lover in the family really liked this. I think that it needs a little more punch even though I added garlic, dill and threw in a handful of fresh parsley. Super easy. Definitely increase the sauce!

Chili Rellenos Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2012

This tasted very breakfasty to me. It was super easy to throw together. I followed other reviews and only used the evaporated milk, increased egg to 3 and cooked in 8 x 8 pan. I only used one can of green chilis since it was in a smaller pan and I also sliced them up.For the tomato sauce I used Salsa Chipotle by El Mexicano. It is tomato and chipotle together. Lots of great flavor. Sadly, my family did not like this at all. I was surprised since they love green chili enchiladas.

Easy Crescent Taco Bake

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2012

My family loved this. I didn't like the bottom crust. I was worried it would be soggy so I used drained tomatoes instead of salsa. And I added a can of green chilies. I am glad I added a can of beans because it would have turned out to be a wimpy pie. The beans helped to give it some body. Some corn would be good too. This was super easy to throw together. I used reduced fat cresent rolls ground turkey

Pumpkin Latte Mix

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2012

All this really tastes like is a coffee with some fake tasting creamer in it. If you like the taste and mouthfeel of instant creamers than you may like this. The Coffee Mate Pumpkin Spice Creamer doesn't have a strong flavor on its own. Diluting with vanilla creamer dulls the pumpkin flavor even more. Try it before you give this as a gift. I scaled this down to one serving and even used instant espresso, but it didn't do a thing for me.

Apple Pumpkin Desserts

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2012

Was really excited to try this for New Year's. I baked them in little canning jars and they looked really cute and it was really easy to do. The clear canning jars showed the different layers. But as for the flavor, they were overly sweet and didn't have a whole lot of flavor. The canned apple pie filling really lacks in flavor and I could only get three slices of apple in the jar. Would be better with a homemade apple pie filling and apple chunks instead of slices. The pumpkin filling could use an increase in spices.
