Fluffy French Toast

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2011

I have been looking for a simple but delicious french toast recipe for the longest time on here!! This one did not disappoint! Flour...what a great idea..I found followed the recipe exaclty. I found that as it sat it combined better and the later one had better taste. Next time I will let the mixture sit a little bit before rewhisking and then dipping. I also rewhisked frequently during the process. Lots of room for variation...great idea on the addition of flour. My best french toast ever. Thanks for the recipe.

Orange Roughy with Citrus Sauce

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2011

Giving this 5 stars based on the suggestions. Fish alone was delicious and I'm not crazy about orange roughy. I made sure the fish was crispy. Increased the orange juice to 3 T and decreased lime to 1 T, still added a bit of sugar will try it without next time. I served the sauce on the side to avoid the sogginess issue and let people add to taste. My little food critics loved it!...and I did too!! So easy, definitely will do again.

Red Velvet Cake I

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2011

I don't know much about red velevet cake and was never overly fond of it but my kids love it so I decided to make one for Valentines Day. There are so many versions!! So I did some research and found that red velvet cake can range from vanilla to chocolate to almond there is no 'right' way only personal preference. As I thought it was a southern dish I decided to check Paula Deens recipe - which is about the same but has only 1 tsp of cocoa and 1 1/2 c oil. Best tip on here is do not substitute ingredients, they are designed to work together. Concerned about complaints of dryness, I followed Paula's 1 1/2 c of oil - which is preferable for this cake over butter according to my research. I used 2 tsp of cocoa powder cuz I don't love chocolate cake. The resulting cake was fabulous - the kids LOVED it! Next time I will try the 1 C of oil and 2 TBs of cocoa....but the frosting is what gets the 5 stars - very delicious.

Sausage Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2010

Excellent recipe - my guests all had 2 and 3 helpings :). Followed the recipe as closely as possible using reviewing advice to brown potatoes, sautee the onions and use additional eggs (9 large eggs initially). Here what I discoverd. - Used Simply Potatoes - Sotuhwest Seasoned was all that was left at the store - preseasoned added a nice flavor. - Only had 2 square pans available so increased proportionally - used 4 cups of potatoes. Forgot to add the butter to the potatoes and added after 10 minutes by drizzling. Left in a total of 20 (which is NOT enough..) -Added diced leftover ham and one additional egg to 1 pan - this slightly eggier version was definitely better -When reheating them today I used a fry pan and ended up actually browned the potatoes - WOW a nice difference!! Next time I am going to leave the potatoes in the oven until they are truly BROWN - excellent flavor. However recipe was still great even with the lesser cooked potatoes - the browned ones just added a extra touch - but I love all fried potatoes soo.... This recipe has infinite possibilities can't wait to try a vegetarian version as per a previous review.

Authentic Louisiana Red Beans and Rice

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2010

Delicious and nice flavor. I don't know what authentic red beans and rice are but enjoyed these for sure. I did not have any green pepper and used smoked turkey sausage instead, otherwise followed the recipe. Was great - probably better with the right sausage :) One tip do not adjust seasonings until all the water is cooked out of the beans so you do not over salt or over spice.

Chicken Stock

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2010

This is the best, as is - period the end. Oh and you DO NOT leave the lid off while simmering at all or you will end up with no broth!! The lid stays on until cooling in case that is confusing.

Crispy Fried Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009

One tip: if you think the recipe is bland its because you didn't season to taste - so disregard any review that says this is bland. Very helpful techniques for crispy, delicious fried chicken my best ever!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Gluehwein

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2007

I have never heard of gluehwein but was looking for a festive spiced wine something for Christmas. My mother-in-law loved it, sister-in-law hated it and I thought it was pretty good though not what I was looking for. I followed the advice of others and used orange juice which made it too bitter for me - for me the water would have been the better choice. I enjoyed the spicy taste and thought it was more like a dessert wine.

Honey Baked Chicken II

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2007

Based on other reviews, I seasoned the chicken first with salt, garlic powder, and a little paprika. My family enjoyed the chicken and I will make this again however, we thought they were a little overly sweet and I will cut back on the honey next time.

JELL-O® Pastel Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2007

Thank you for sharing this recipe. My grandma made these when we were kids, they were my favorites. When I copied the recipe from her I missed the sugar part and hadn't quite figured it out. These are just like Grandma's!! One idea from Grams - you can make one red jello and one green then twine 2 strands together to form a candy cane - too cute.

Soft Sugar Cookies IV

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2007

Oh yeah - these are wonderful! We made these tonight to roll out and decorate, they came out great. I was concerned that as roll outs the 10 minute cooking time would be too long however found out it was perfect. The key to soft sugar cookies is definitely to not over bake them. Great advice to fluff the flour while measuring, because my son was helping the 3 1/2 cups was slightly too much, I used another user's advice to press the dough together with wet hands and no problems. Let the dough sit in the fridge for 2 hours and the dough worked well. We loved them.

Delicious Baked Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2007

I am giving this recipe five stars because my family LOVED this chicken. To get my kids to love something is truly a wonderous event!!!!! The key to this recipe is the SEASON TO TASTE line. If you don't add seasoning to it you will possibly find it bland. I put garlic in the olive oil, then seasoned with garlic powder, salt, pepper and a little dried thyme. I only had 1/2 cup of Worcestershire and it could have used the full amount to my taste. The chicken was moist but cooked faster than the recipe called for. I thought it was pretty good but the kids really provided the rating for this one.

Janet's Rich Banana Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2007

Excellent recipe. I used vanilla lowfat yogurt and accidentally halved the butter (intended to use part applesauce) - still came out yummy. As always, used part whole wheat flour. Easy recipe to make modifications to and still comes out great.

Clone of a Cinnabon

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2007

Definitely better than Cinnabon!! Even my picky kids agreed. Just up from the table where each of us ate 2 of these in one sitting - ouch. I even healthed these up a bit with 3/4 whole wheat flour, reduced butter in the dough and added flaxseed meal. I did not have cream cheese so used the sugar, vanilla, butter, maple extract from another site for the frosting. These were the best - one other tip use 1 TB flour in with the sugar/cinnamon mixture to keep the sugar mix from disappearing.

Triple Berry Crisp

Reviewed: Aug. 12, 2007

Wonderful! Even my picky cobbler hating children loved this one!!!!! Pretty much followed the recipe but healthed it up a bit with some whole wheat flour, reduced butter (would have been even better with all the butter) and groundflax seed. These won't change the flavor dramatically and it was great. Thanks.

Pizza Dough II

I make pizza dough all the time. I have tried recipe after recipe and this one is the best I have ever tried. I am always looking for whole wheat recipes and I like that this one includes at least some. This got rave reviews at my party and my kids gobbled it up.

Fabulous Homemade Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2007

Excellent bread. I was confused by the lack of kneading in the instructions. My dough came out very sticky and I kneaded in a bit more flour to one loaf to make it a little less sticky and even more flour to another for a more traditional bread like feel. I will probably knead next to the more bread like feel. I think the very sticky dough may be why others have problems with "falling" and bread that falls apart. However both versions tasted great!!

Seattle Dutch Babies

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2007

These are wonderful, my whole family loves them. Thanks for a good recipe. Be warned however, when working with this dutch babies (or popovers or yorkshire pudding) from time to time you may have to work with them to get them to puff up. I always start with a hot oven 425 degrees and drop to 375 when they start to rise - always works. Usually melt a little butter in the pan as well to start with a hot pan.
