Breakfast Pizza

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2012
It was edible, but that's about the best I can say for it. The worst part was the crust. The hash browns were a close second. there was not enough egg. This needs work. I have a few ideas I'm going to try and see if I can't create something better.

Persian Sabzi Polo (Herb Rice with Fava Beans)

Reviewed: Mar. 25, 2012
Couldn't find fava beans, but substituted baby limas and it came out just as I remembered it. However, this recipe makes a lot. I mean A LOT! So you might want to scale it back a bit.

Pesto Chicken Florentine

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2012
Easy, tasty, plenty of opportunity for adding more veggies. But I cut back on the chicken and added a lot more spinach. Couldn't find a dry alfredo sauce mix, but used bottled version, which was just fine.

Fluffy Biscuits

Definitely a 5-star recipe with the use of butter instead of shortening.

Yummy Sweet Potato Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2011
I'd agree that this is pretty yummy. The only problem I could see was that it was way too sweet. I think if you cut the sugar in the sweet potato mixture it might come out better. I also think this would be good at times other than holidays, as we hould be eating more sweet potatoes anyway. I used chopped walnuts in my version because that's what I had in the house and it was just fine.

Belles Hamburger Buns

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2011
Next time I'll use my tried and true bread recipe. I'm not quite sure where things went wrong. Wet mixture was at 110ºF, the usual lukewarm temp for water for yeast. But the dough was reluctant to rise.

Easy Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2011
I didn't have Cajun seasoning, but I came up with my own spice rub that worked just fine. I don't care for pepperoncini, but a little vinegar and red pepper flakes did just as well. Nor did I have adobo sauce, but sraraccha made a good substitute since I don't like things too spicy. I also left out the cilantro. But this still came out wonderful, succulent and juicy. The fat mostly melted away. The connective tissue gelatinized beautifully. I used this for soft tacos and sandwiches. It was great, a recipe I will pass along and keep in my collection.

Strawberry Coffee Cake

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2011
Pretty good. I made a low sugar version using sucralose and Splenda's brown sugar blend for the topping. It was a success.

Spoiled Baby Back Ribs

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2011
Very good. I used a bottle barbecue sauce and added a few of my own touches to it, but no matter how you do it, I think this is a winner. I don't think most people would be able to tell that these weren't cooked on a smoker or grill outdoors.

Dietetic Banana Nut Muffins

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2011
They were dry and tasteless. There are better recipes out there that can be adapted to sugar-free, low fat versions. First of all, the applesauce, banana and egg are not enough moisture. Maybe a splash of milk would help. And as other reviewers have pointed out, where are the nuts! I'm sorry, but I don't believe diabetics have to give up flavor to have sugar-free baked goods. Try something else.

Marinated Baked Pork Chops

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2011
This is really just a glaze, not a marinade. And as a glaze, it's not that impressive.

Sausage Pasta

Simple, easy, good but not great. It's missing something but I don't know what. I'll probably make again.

Slow Cooker Ham

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2010
Ham don't fit. Trimming is silly, you lose the whole point of having a ham that's not already cut into sliced. Glaze needs less sweet, more tang. I supposed if you have a two-person ham it might be okay if you add some mustard to the glaze, but that's not the recipe.

Marie's Easy Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2010
Comes out great. I took the liquid in the bottom to make a nice gravy by transferring it to the same pan I used to brown the meat and then reduced it and added a few herbs and a tablespoon of flour. I think you could add some more vegetables to it to make it even better and healthier.

Applesauce-Oat Muffins

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2010
I don't think I did anything wrong, but these didn't turn out well at all. They were rubbery and stuck to the papers too much. Back to the drawing board on this one, folks.

Oven-Barbecued Spareribs

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2010
When I've made ribs in the oven before, they become overdone, braised in barbecue sauce. But this worked quite well, I thought. Even though I used 3 lbs. of ribs, the basic recipe for the sauce held true without adding a lot to it. Also, the timing was pretty close. I used bottled barbecue sauce instead of ketchup, green bell pepper instead of celery, but it still came out good. The sauce was subtle instead of overpowering and it created a nice bark on the meat like you would get on a grill.
