I made this for Christmas party this year. I used heavy whipping cream instead of whole milk. I will make this again for sure.

Green Salad with Cranberry Vinaigrette

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2011

I took this salad to a Christmas Ornament Exchange party. It was very pretty and tasted great. I used Feta instead of Blue Cheese and bought candy coated walnuts instead of making my own. It was very festive.

Easy Seven Layer Vegetable Salad

Reviewed: May 30, 2011

This recipe brought back so many memories for me. My mom use to make this for every big family gathering. As a kid, I couldn't stand it but as I grew up it became one of my favorite salads. I substitute brocoli for the cauliflower and add some spinach to the lettuce.

Slow Cooker Chicken Mole

Reviewed: May 7, 2011

I made this for Cinco de Mayo work potluck. I doubled the recipe. I didn't have any raisins or sesame seeds, but the dish was amazing. I thought it tasted just like restaurant quality. Will definitely make this again with probably not as many chipotle chiles. It was a bit spicy for my boys.

Green Chile Stew with Pork

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2011

Our family enjoyed this meal last night. The pork was so tender. My husband, the cook, made a few changes which included 5 green chiles instead of 7; 7oz of green chile salsa instead of 10oz; added corn, black beans, red bell pepper, and 1/2 onion chopped. We served this with a sprinkling of grated cheese and some sour cream. Can wait to try this as the stuffing of enchilades with chile verde sauce.

Chicken Stir-Fry

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2011

We have done stir-fry in our family many times but this was the first time I actually followed a recipe. The part of coating the chicken in the cornstarch and soy sauce mixture was new to me. It really turned out good. I prefer a little more sauciness so I think next time I will add more liquid. I took this to work the next day and ate the leftovers. We will continue to use this recipe at our house.

Fragrant Chicken Curry

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2011

My husband made this for us last night. He had all the ingredients except the Mango Chutney. He also added a few cut up carrots. It was amazing! We will be making this again.

French Toast Souffle

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2011

I wasn't impressed with this recipe. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or what, but the bread on the top got too crusty and burnt tasting and the souffle part underneath was mushy. Don't think this is a winner in my house. Sorry

Chuck's Favorite Mac and Cheese

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2011

I've made this dish about 5 times already for work potlucks. I crush up Ritz Honey Butter crackers and use for the topping instead of bread crumbs. The sweet and salty really accompany the dish well. Thanks Chuck!

White Texas Sheet Cake

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2010

I made this for a holiday party last weekend and it was a hit. I followed the recipe exactly except for the nuts. Instead I sprinkled praline pieces on the top of the cake. I will definitely keep making this.

Best Spanish Rice

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2010

This has got to be the easiest spanish rice recipe I have ever made. We really liked it. The only thing that I did different was use butter instead of oil and added 1/2 tsp of cumin and chile powder for a little more spice.
