Pepperoncini Beef

Reviewed: May 24, 2012

I make this often...we call it 'Amazing Beef Sandwiches'...it's that good! I use a rump roast and sliced jarred pepperoncini (Mild). I serve it on kaiser rolls! The beef has so much flavor and just melts in your mouth! I make beef barley soup with the leftovers! This is a must try recipe!

Roasted Fan-Shaped Potatoes

Reviewed: May 23, 2012

This is a fun way to serve a baked potato! There's alot of prep involved because of all the slicing! But I like it because it's unique! I didn't use the breadcrumbs and I used alot more salt! I removed 1 slice of potato from each potato to give the potato more room to fan out! And I only needed to bake it fot 1 hour. Placing a wooden spoon on each side of the potato during slicing is a great idea, as mentioned by other members! It really helps to make the slices without cutting through the bottom on the potato! I served mine with fresh chopped chives and some sour cream on the side!

Apple Cake III

Reviewed: May 21, 2012

This was such a quick and easy cake! I made it as written except for the topping! instead of the crumb topping, I made a caramel drizzle by melting some caramel candies in the micro with a little milk. Worked great!

Cajun Spice Mix

Reviewed: May 14, 2012

I just made this to use in a Jambalaya recipe and it worked great! I made it as written except I didn't add the red pepper flakes...the cayenne was enough spice for me! This was perfect...the Jambalaya had just the right amount of heat with this spice mix! Not too spicy!

One Bowl Chocolate Cake III

Reviewed: May 14, 2012

This was perfect!!! I did as others suggested and increased the cocoa powder to 1 cup. I baked this in a 9x13 baking pan for 40 minutes. This cake is delicious in every way...moist, rich, dense, but not too much of each! The perfect balance of all! I topped mine with a peanut butter chocolate ganache...heavenly!!!

Fluffy Pancakes

Reviewed: May 8, 2012

This was a very good recipe! The pancakes came out very light and fluffy! The only thing I would do differently is to add some vanilla extract next time! I also used this recipe to make bacon pancakes...it worked perfectly!

Potato Nachos

I made these exactly as written and they were VERY tasty! Not too salty and with lots of flavor from the ranch salad dressing mix and the jalapenos and green onions! A nice little snack or appetizer!

Smooth Sweet Tea

Reviewed: May 5, 2012

I never had Sweet Tea before because restaurants never have it in decaf! That's the way I made this one! Other than that I followed the recipe exactly...well I also added a squeeze of fresh lemon...but other than those two things, I made it as written! This was very good! It tasted like a really good iced tea! I love the baking soda trick because it seems to make it taste 'Smooth', just like the title!

Churros

Reviewed: May 5, 2012

These were VERY good, but a little tricky to get them just right! I love the fact that this is a firm dough because it holds the nice shape of the ridges which Churros are known for! I followed the suggestion of the 'most helpful' reviewer named Cat...I used only 1 tbls. of sugar and oil in the dough batter. But I think the key to getting these to cook perfectly is to make sure the fryer is at 375 degrees and I made sure to fry the Churros for 4 1/2 minutes each. The inside will continue to cook after being removed from the fryer. I made mine about the same size as the Churros I but from vendors...8 inches long and 3/4 inch thick. I used a cookiegun/press instead of a pasrty bag which worked perfectly with this firm dough! I piped all the Churros out onto waxed paper and fried them 2 at a time. These taste just like the Churros I always buy at carnivals! I'm so glad that I can finally make them at home!

Italian Chicken Sausage Stuffed Portabellas

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2012

I really loved this recipe! I love creamy foods and this one was creamy, flavorful and hearty! I used fat free plain cream cheese and added fresh minced onions and chives to it. The only other change I made was to saute the sausage with fresh garlic and I used shredded provolone instead of parmesan cheese!

Roasted Garlic Chicken Sausage Caesar Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2012

This was a very tasty salad! I never had a salad with sausage in it before! The only change I made to this recipe was to use mixed greens instead of romaine lettuce. and I used plum tomatoes instead of cherry! And I topped my salad with shredded provolone instead of parmesan cheese!

Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage and Tortellini Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2012

This was VERY good! I couldn't find the 16 oz. package of sausage. The store only sold 12 oz. packs. The only change I made was to saute the sausage in the garlic because I heard that these sausage had a strong fennel flavor...I'm not a fan of fennel! The fennel wasn't too strong for me at all! I also added 1 tsp. of salt to the soup and garnished it with shredded provolone cheese for some extra flavor...YUM!!! We loved this recipe!

Famous Chicken Francaise

Reviewed: Mar. 22, 2012

This was pretty good but it needed more flavor! I added about 1 tsp. of garlic powder and 1/2 tsp. paprika + 1 tsp. of kosher salt(it truly needs salt) to the flour mixture. I cut my chicken breasts thin so they would cook evenly and quickly. The sauce is very liquidy, so I'll probably thicken it next time! But other than that it was very good!

Corned Beef and Cabbage I

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2012

This was very good! The only change I made was to add 3 large cloves of chopped garlic. I also made a sauce for the brisket as mentioned by a member named Tracey. This is what she said... "I take the corned beef out and while the cabbage carrots and pot's are cooking in the liquid, I put the brisket in the oven for 30 minutes with this sauce that I combine on the stove until smooth. 1/3 cup of brown sugar,2 tblsp of butter tlbs. of prepared mustard, 1/3 cup of ketchup, and 3 tblsp of apple cider vinegar. I combine these ingredients till smooth, then pour over the brisket while the veggies are cooking. 30 to 40 mins. at 350 will do it. Hope you like it, all of my friends who hate corned beef will only eat mine!"... Tracey's sauce recipe was PERFECT!!! I'll make my corned beef like this from now on!

Crab Imperial II

Reviewed: Mar. 15, 2012

This was very good! I love the kick from the cayenne! This reminded me of a crab cake! I made it as written except I used imitation crab meat. I also made a mistake and added the fresh breadcrumbs TO the crab mixture AND ontop of the crab mixture! This was so good that my hubby wants me to serve it on Easter as an appetizer!

Caroline's Firecrackers

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2012

This was very good! I had to use 'Andy Capp's Hot Fries' because the store didn't have the hot Cheetos. I coated them individually in the white chocolate and sprinkled them with cayenne pepper to make them as hot as the Cheetos. These are so addicting! I can't stop eating them! I will be trying it again when I find the hot Cheetos!

I will be making these for Easter and Halloween! Great recipe and so easy!

Verenike Casserole for the Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Jan. 24, 2012

I was a little nervous about making this one after reading the reviews, so I decided to just make some small changes! I added caramelized onions that I sauteed with salt & pepper. I also didn't cook on low for 6 hours...I cooked it on high for 3 hours because I needed it done quicker! I used smoked ham and added shredded cheddar ontop. And I also sprinkled it with fresh chopped chives for color! This was pretty good! I just wish it was more creamy instead of brothy! But I would make this again!
