Master Pizza Dough

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2012

This was a delicious tasting crust. Nice and crispy. My pizza was a 4, but I still gave this a 5 because I think it was the rapid rise yeast and I made it to early so it didn't have the second rise....Pizza was a little thin. But that would have been my fault. It was still the best tasting crust I have made.

Pork Medallions with Balsamic Vinegar and Capers

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2012

This was a very easy recipe to prepare with a delightful complexity of flavor that was very easy on the palette. I made it with skinless, boneless chicken breast. I pounded the chicken slightly so it wasn't to thick and used white wine in place of the chicken broth. I didn't time the length of time I simmered the vinegar, but enough to reduce it to a slightly think sauce. Defiantly a "Go To" recipe.

Zucchini Casserole I

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2012

I have made this many, many times. Has become a staple meal in my house. I did cut the oil back to a heavy 1/8 cup, but other than that, this is delicious with a green salad and fresh bread. Have added veggies or cheese if they were in the fridge, but perfect as written....with the reduction of oil.

Tangy Glazed Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2011

I don't usually rate a recipe that I have changed so much, but because this technique turned out fabulous, I thought I would rate it. I used skinless, boneless chicken. I didn't have apple jelly so I used Pepper jam. I think this helped to reduce the sweetness other have mentioned. I didn't have OJ so I squeezed a grapefruit, I didn't want to open broth for only 1/2 cup so I added extra grapefruit juice and a some of water. It boiled down to a wonderful thick sauce. Sprinkled cilantro over chicken and spooned the sauce over some rice. Fabulous recipe!!! Thanks for sharing.

Filet Mignon with Rich Balsamic Glaze

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2011

Wow...this was fabulous and made the meat so tender. I would have thought that the balsamic would have reduced down a little thicker, but it could have been because I was a little short. I did warm the meat up before I cooked it, I cut down the cooking time a bit because we like med rare, and I let it rest for 10 min. Thank you so much for sharing.

Banana Bread V

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2010

This banana bread was light; almost like a regular cake instead of a dense cake. I doubled the recipe; used butter instead of marg and sprinkled some sugar/cinnamon mix over the top before baking since I didn't have nuts. Family and guest loved it. Will defiantly make again!! Thanks for sharing!

Caramel Apple Pork Chops

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2010

These were EXCELLENT!!! I made the sauce as per the recipe and only used 2 pork chops, so basically the sauce should be doubled. I marinated the pork chops in orange juice a few hours before cooking them and then followed the recipe. Loved them...thanks for sharing.

Peppermint Patties

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2009

WOW!!!! These taste exactly like, if not better than a real peppermint patties!!!! I was concerned that 1 1/2 teaspoons of peppermint would be a little to strong, but it was perfect. I did a mixture of brushing on the chocolate and spooning on the chocolate. Both worked well. To make the spooned on chocolate look decorative, a few min after putting on the chocolate, tap it with a fork once and it puts a very nice design on the top. I think next time I will make them a one bite size. Thank You for a great recipe.

Pollo Fajitas

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2009

These Fajitas were delicious. Changes were minimal. Used chicken breast, garlic powder because that was all I had on hand and my chili powder was smoked flavored and of coarse extra few dashes of hot sauce. Toped it with sour cream and served it with fried rice. Great, easy and fast meal

Jo's Rosemary Bread

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2009

Wow, what a great recipe!!!! I have made this recipe a couple of times and have switched out the herbs to what I have on hand. Always taste great. I especially like that the texture the bread the next day is still good. Sometime home made bread has to be eaten the same day, but this one last a day or two. Thanks for sharing

Chicken Breasts with Lime Sauce

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2009

Excellent crispy tender chicken recipe. I didn't have bread crumbs so I used bran cereal but with frying in a bit of olive oil it tasted good. I didn't cut the chicken in half, I just pounded into nice large cutlets. I LOVE lemons and limes so I used an entire lime even though I halved the recipe. We didn't think it was over powering. I served it with an avocado/onion/grapefruit salad and Jo's Rosemary bread (found on this sight). With a glass of wine it was a wonderful dinner.....thanks for the recipe

Roast Sticky Chicken-Rotisserie Style

Reviewed: May 17, 2009

This was a fabulous recipe. Well worth the time it took to prepare. I was surprise that the skin was as crispy as it was. I usually pull off the skin for calorie reasons but not this time. I have not eaten this much chicken skin in 20 years. I added some chopped garlic with the onion in the cavity of the bird. My bird was done a bit earlier so next time I will definitely use a thermometer (my fault) and I might try to rub just a tiny bit under the skin too. Thanks for sharing.

World's Best Scones! From Scotland to the Savoy to the U.S.

Reviewed: Apr. 5, 2009

These were very good scones. Not to moist, not to dry. The family loved them. I did add a touch of orange extract and craisins. I thought this was a nice touch. My dad ate the last few without even sharing.

Pie Crust IV

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2009

I really liked the way this pie curst turned out. Light, crispy and tasty. For me, it only made one curst so I had to do it twice to make the top. I don't usually rate a recipe if I change it, but I decided to this time. I uses half shortening and half butter. I used a food processor and it was a very light cur. I brushed it with milk and sprinkled a little sugar on top for color and I have to admit this was one of my best crust and I have made a "no-fail" crust for years.

Irish Cream Creme Brulee

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2008

I often make creme brulee but this was the first time I put in Irish Cream. It works very well. The complements were enthusiastic and very sincere. Every one loved it....But who doesn't love Irish Cream? Thanks for a new, fresh idea on a old recipe.

Eclairs II

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2008

These eclairs were exceptional!!!!!! My son works for a company that makes the frozen eclairs you buy in the freezer section of your grocery store, so we have eclairs fairly often. This recipe beats those eclairs by a long shot. After you make them the first time, you will understand how easy they really are to make. Try them, you wont be disappointed.
