Sugar Glazed Walnuts

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2012

Timing on the microwave for this is crucial. My batch got burned on the edges but had enough in the center to save it. Unlimited possibiities for varying flavorings with the ease of this recipe

Refried Beans Without the Refry

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2012

I am never buying canned refried again. this is great, tasty and better for us!!. I freeze in bags according to how I might use it, basically, if I were to buy a can, I freeze about 2 cups in a container or freezer bag. Easy to make up, throw the beans in the crockpot Saturday night. Make something using them for Sunday Dinner, bag up the rest!!!

Seven Layer Taco Dip

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2012

Had to come up with inexpensive but tasty munchies for 200 people for a friends 80th birthday party and made this - quadrupled the recipe, but made the "Refried Beans without the Refry" from this site. Also made salso since several of us putting the party together had tomatos from the garden. Also made it for a Christmas party as is, it is just great!!!!!!

Slow Cooker Lasagna

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2012

5 STARS for CONCEPT!!!Not sure why I had not thought of this myself!!! Great way to make ahead for a busy day and have a great meal! I read this recipe and wanted to try it, thinking i had all the ingredients, so planned on it. Then found the lasagna noodles I had were No Boil. Wasn't sure how it would work. Used them anyway. I have a HUGE crockpot and there is just 2 of us, so I often make smaller versions of recipes in Pyrex or stoneware casseroles that fit inside my crockpot. This was the case again, so made a smaller version in a smaller casserole and placed inside of crockpot. worrying about the no boil noodles, i poured some water in the crockpot until it was about halfway up the casserole dish, a baine marie so to speak, and set it for 4 hours. PERFECT!!!! I used homemade marinara, and had some turkey italian sausage that needed to be used up. Added a can of mushrooms. YUM!! Will try again because I LOVE using my crockpot!!!

Exquisite Pizza Sauce

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2012

Perfect for our tastes! Paired with the Whole Wheat Honey crust from this site. We are on a low sodium diet but love homemade pizza. This sauce worked great. Used no salt added paste, omitted the anchovy paste ( didn't have any & too much salt anyway) Added salt substitute to taste. Made it in the morning, let the flavors medl until dinner time. It's a keeper in my book!

Basil Tomato Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2011

I got home later than expected one night and had to fix something quick. Had bought fresh basil for another meal, but so glad to have it on hand!!! This was tasty and healthy and fast!!! Used diced tomatoes that were on hand. Used immersion blender to make it less chunky. Topped with fresh grated parmesan reggiano, served with baguette sliced and green salad. This is a keeper for us!!! always have ingredients even if I don't have fresh basil, I have dried, and can put this together in no time and it tastes FRESH - gonna share this with my gardening buddies too that work with me to trade garden overflow!!!

Slow Cooker Stuffing

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2011

this was excellent! and it sure solved the time coordination and space problem of serving Thanksgiving! I was afraid of naysayers since there was no stuffing in the birds, but not a single complaint! I read many of the reviews and played the liquid by ear - did not use all called for. Used some bread cubes from ends I had saved, filled out with storebought bread cubes. I did use 3 eggs since our eggs were from our friends and smaller than commercial. One of the kids told her mom the stuffing was "to die for!"

Baked Potato Skins

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2011

i made this into an all day recipe beause i had the time. baked the potatoes to take advantage of the heat the oven gave off, as opposed to turning the furnace up to heat the house. baked extra potatoes for twice baked potatoes that were frozen for another meal. tonight serving the skins with Green Chile Chicken burgers. Saved the insides of what i needed for tonight to add to tuna for tuna patties (like salmon patties) later in the week

Cheese Cake Cups

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2011

Killer easy and delicious! I added a tablespoon of lemon juice for extra bite. The wafers I bought seemes so small inthe muffin cups, so I crushed them slightly to cover the bottom - more than one to a cup. It all baked well and held together and great just plain! Toppings could make endless delicious. I used homemade raspberry jam and made a quick white chocolate sauce (chips and milk inthe micro) Very good! Saving this for party ideas!!

Curried Butternut Squash and Pear Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2011

This was so simple and delicious! I had bought a butternut squash, never having cooked one before, to give me inspiration. Next day, a friend called and said she had a sack full ofpears that she would never use and would I want them? Bingo - Hubby was a bit skeptical thnking it would taste bland, but really good flavor. I took the advice of others and roasted the squash, made it easier and tastier (smpled the roasted squash as I was scooping it out!)I did not have any heavy whipping cream, but had a half block of cream cheese. Read a couple other recipes and found one that used cream cheese for thickening, so I addede that. NIce creaminess, color.I served this with the Real N'Awlans Muffaletta on this site. Soup and Sandwich and darn good!

Roasted Rosemary Cauliflower

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2011

We love roasted vegetables in any combination and this is good!!! My rosemary plants were going crazy, and bought a head of cauliflower planning for something else that fell thru....this fit the bill! as another reviewer said, any veggies could be added, and yes you have to watch it, but one reviewer did like me - and i alwasy do this - roast until the veggies have color - you might think they are not done, but pull them anyway and give em a zap in the microwave. the microwave actually intesifies the flavors since the roasting has taken the vitals of the veggies to carmelization. microwave cooks from the inside out, so all that goodness stuck inside gets a chance to improve itself while your veggies are heating up

Pizza Dough I

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2011

Easy, time saving or for a cook like me that decides what to make 10 minutes before she wants to eat =PERFECT! If you are accustomed to making your dough and going thru the 2 rises, and cannot eat anything but, don't try this recipe. It's tasty, but it is not the dough you might be accustomed to - but it is a keeper if you are short on time and pizza is on the menu. it's going into my recipe box!!!!

Savory Bubble Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2011

i cheated on this but am giving it 5 stars because the coating for the bread balls is yummy and was perfect for what i was looking for. I used canned biscuits, quartered and tossed in the butter and coating then baked for almost 25 minutes. i needed something quick and recalled a "Pampered Chef" party i went to where they made bubble pizza. i had all the ingredients for this but not the time for yeast dough. The canned biscuits were something I was used to also for sweet Bubble Bread. And a staple in my frig.

Zucchini Cobbler

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2011

This was fantabulous! I had been asking for zucchini from friends and relatives and got given 6 huge ones! I made bread and butter pickles out of 2 of them, shredded and froze another, then found this recipe. No one figured out it was anythin out of the ordinary for cobbler. Since my zukes were large, I peeled, seeded, quartered longways and sliced thinly. Looked like small granny smiths!!!! The lemon juice is the key. I added oats to my crust also since I love the crunch. Will definitely make again and try using brown sugar for the filling.

Easy Crescent Muffuletta

Reviewed: Jul. 19, 2011

RENAME THIS RECIPE tasty , easy, but really not fair calling it muffaletta to those that have not experienced muffaletta. Muffaletta is about the olive salad mingling with the meats and cheeses. Play fair Pillsbury.

Scalloped Tomatoes

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2011

The original version of this recipe was something my mom used to make. I made it once for my husband and he didn't like it. Then I saw something similar on a cooking show but with some additions. The additions were garlic, basil and cheese. I love the original. Hubby loved the morphed version. Each is a great way to showcase fresh out of the garden tomatoes. And in mid winter, try it with canned diced tomatoes. takes you right back to summer!!!

Paprika Potatoes

Reviewed: Mar. 22, 2011

As a recipe, this isn't. As a use for leftovers, this is. But I agree, bland. Toss the potatoes with any combinations of herbs you like, but do not forget the salt and pepper. I gave it five stars for the use of paprika...most cooks think it is something to sprinkle over something else for color. it's good for that, but this recipe could potentially give a GOOD paprika a starring role if baked.

Chicken Enchiladas: Ready When You Are

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2011

This is not a menu. It's a recipe with the "oh Duh" condiment. A menu should have a complete balanced meal. My additions to this would be refried beans and steamed rice - beans from a can, rice cooking while i made the enchiladas - if it were a weekday. I'd have some extra flour tortillas warming to toasty for dessert, spread with a little butter or cream cheese and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar I haven't actually tried the recipe here, I have one burned into my memory, but the whole meal has to have more balance.

Flathead Cherry Compote

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2011

flathead cherries are a local favorite. I am often torn as to just eating them fresh since we can only savor them maybe 2 months out of the year or buying enough at peak to freeze or preserve. This is a great recipe for fresh, but I just tried it with some cherries I had fresh frozen. Summer in the middle of February. GREAT!

Quinoa Salad with Dried Fruit and Nuts

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2010

This was a great way to inroduce quinoa to the nonbelievers! I used dried cranberries and cherries because i had them. I also had some red quinoa so I used that and added some of the yellow or regular quinoa. It was very colorful and appetizing with the fruit and greens. I made the full recipe for 3 of us and took the rest to work the next day. Two of my co workers had it with their lunch and took some home for their family members to taste to turn them into believers of quionoa also! I pointed them to allrecipes and this one
