Clark's Quiche

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2012

Wonderful but I changed the amounts just based on what I had on hand and personal preference. I had 2 deep dish crusts that I decided not to use. Everything went in a large 10 x 13 (I think) dish. Only had 7 eggs so I added a little more half n half. 1 lb bacon and leftover diced easter ham. Had some black olives to use up and used a mexican cheese blend. Next time I would definately double the spinach and 2 or 3 more eggs since I wasn't using pie crusts and need to fill the pan and use 2 cups of half n half.

Jalapeno Hummus

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2012

Wonderful and sooo easy!!! I used a whole can of garbanzo beans (close to two cups), a little more than a teaspoon of each spice, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 5 tablespoons tahini, eyeballed the jalapenos and juice (did not need to had red pepper at all) and I always add more garlic than any recipe calls for...most ingredients are always on hand so why bought the store bought?!

Italian Butter

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2012

This is even better if you roast a bulb of garlic (cut top off garlic, drizzle with olive oil and kosher salt, cover in aluminum foil 350 degrees for 45 min) and mix with the rest of ingredients. You can also do a combination of softened butter/olive oil mix to make excellent garlic bread

Chinese Cabbage Salad II

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2011

Excellent dish, so easy and inexpensive. Skipped the slivered almonds, uses 1/4 cup of butter flavored grape seed oil instead of vegetable. A little sweet for me so next time probably only use 1 tbs. sugar.

Karyn's Cream of Crab Soup

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2011

My office devoured my leftovers! A smidge too salty for me so I would probably add Old Bay to taste instead of 3 full tbs.

Black-Eyed Pea Salad II

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2011

Delicious, couldn't keep it away from my coworkers. Used a jar of sun dried tomatoes in olive oil and used the olive oil in the jar. Next time I would try to cut the sun dried tomatoes more.

Garlic Spaghetti

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2011

If you love garlic, this is a must do recipe. I used garlic infused grapeseed oil (wildtree) to saute garlic and chopped onion. Used herbs de provence instead of just oregano and parsley and skipped salt and pepper. For those who wanted additional flavor of butter, wildtree also has butter flavored grapeseed oil. Same health benefits (if not more) as olive oil, higher burn point. Update: took another reviewers suggestion and sauteed a can of anchovies in the olive oil they came in and added the garlic. Anchovies almost completely melt, add seasonings and toss with pasta and cheese

Crustless Spinach Quiche

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2011

Delicious! I took others advice and added 2 4 oz cans of drained mushrooms, a can of drained diced tomatoes. Used 2 packages of spinach and upped the eggs to 8. Next time I would separate into 2 pie pans. Took about 50 minutes to set.

Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2011

Entirely too much sugar for my taste. Next time I will halve the sugar and double the pumpkin. I made one loaf as a Christmas gift at work and they loved it.

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2010

Veronica's Hot Spinach, Artichoke and Chile Dip

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2010

I haven now made this half dozen times. Everyone loves it. You can make it as spicy or as mild as you want. I'm not sure the mayo is actually necessary and I have used 1 box cream cheese and 1 box of neufestel (sp?) cheese for a slightly less rich taste.

French Baguettes

Reviewed: Sep. 6, 2010

This recipe is wonderful. I have now made it close to a dozen times, using the bread maker on the dough cycle. I prefer one large loaf with the ingredients as written. Placed a 9 x 13 pan 1/4 full with water as oven is preheating to 425 degrees and bake for 20 minutes. So easy and much cheaper than buying bread.

Cream of Spinach Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 6, 2010

Just finished making this for the third time and it is still delicious. Followed other suggestions and sauteed almost a chopped onion and 4 cloves of minced garlic with the butter. Then added the flour and whisked. Used 3 cups of chicken broth, 2 cups of 1% milk and 1 cup of heavy cream. Pureed half the batch of soup. Serve with French Baguettes from this site.

Fresh Strawberry Pie I

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2010

Not sure what went wrong but my pie came out tasting like jello in a pie crust. I used the 2 tbs of cornstarch as called for but maybe it needs to be increased.

Prize Winning Baby Back Ribs

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2010

These ribs made a mess on the grille from falling off the bone! Slow cooked in oven on 175 for 5.5 hours and then grilled them. Excellent!

Boilermaker Tailgate Chili

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2010

Fantastic chili despite having to make changes based on what I had in the kitchen! Was good even though I did not have any cayenne pepper or paprika. Only used 2 cans of chili beans as a preference. Used 2 seeded jalapenos instead of chili peppers. Forgot all about the Worcestershire sauce, only had 2 beef bouillon cubes on hand and cooked 3 slices of bacon instead of bacon bits. And used 3/4 bottle of beer. Ate with bread bowls from this site.

Bread Bowls

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2010

These are great! I made in my breadmaker, 6 cups of flour was too much and the dough rose out of the machine. Used bread flour instead of regular flour and will half the recipe next time. Used butter instead of shortening and only a 1/4 cup sugar. Could have used more salt. I took another reviewers advice and separated dough into oven safe bowls to help the shape. Put too much in each bowl so my bread bowls were too big (only used 3 bowls). Used egg white wash before baking and rebaked for 10 minutes after removing the insides. Filled with boilermaker tailgate chili from this site...delicious!

Spicy Sweet Potato and Coconut Soup

Reviewed: May 6, 2009

I don't know what I did wrong but this was definitely lacking. The sweet potato did not add to the dish at all and I would leave it out all together next time. I also added shrimp and scallops. I used a combo of green and red curry paste so it wasn't too hot for others to eat but I also added sriachi sauce and did not get that hot...I added more to my own bowl. I served over sticky rice.

White Bean and Artichoke Salad

Reviewed: May 6, 2009

I love this salad! I've made it multiple times and the recipe is easily suited to taste. I use 2 cans of cannelloni beans and one can of garbanzo beans, one chopped vidalia onion, both marinated and regular artichoke chopped, 1-2 cloves of minced fresh garlic and season to taste with the basil, mint and thyme (either fresh or dried)
