Lemon Pie Bars

Reviewed: May 31, 2012

Okay ladies and gents help me out please.. I made this way the directions said to, to a tee. However it just crumbled and did not stick to the topping at all. Im not sure how to fix this or why it did it so I would love some feed back.

Spicy Potato Wedges

Reviewed: May 31, 2012

Used olive oil instead of vegetable oil and after microwaving these put them in the oven at 425 for 10 or 15 min to get them crispy. This really cut down on the bake time, which I liked. I will do this more often! Used my own blend of seasonings = Mrs. Dash on these, so good!

Honey Baked Chicken II

Reviewed: May 31, 2012

Super easy to make and extremely tasty! Hubby and I enjoyed this with steamed garlic and his 'smashed' taters. I used cumin instead of curry powder (didn't have any!) and it was definitely a great substitute. WILL make again. Didn't chop the chicken into pieces though, I just cut through the breast portion and flattened it out a bit. I baked it in a round Pampered Chef baking stone and ladled the 'sauce' over top every 15-20 minutes or so. Absolutely a staple in our house now.

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: May 31, 2012

I did as another rater suggested: skipped dissolving baking soda in water and increased the vanilla to 1 tablespoon, and changed the sugar to 1/2 cup white and 1.5 cups brown. Baked for 12 minutes at 350 and OMG they taste like they came from a bakery! I have never made better cookies. I do not own a mixer and therefore make everything by hand, so this recipe seemed daunting at first... but with a little elbow grease, it was a snap.

Just o-k. It would need a lot of "tweaks" to make it yummy. I've made many a superior curry this will not be joining my recipe box.

The salad has great potential ~ the ingredients go great together. I was hoping for more flavor to the dressing.

Pan-fried Polenta with Corn, Kale and Goat Cheese

Reviewed: May 31, 2012

I used regular cornmeal instead of stone ground... not sure if that had anything to do with the fact that my polenta kept sticking to the pan and in the end turned out to be a goopy mess... I don't think I'll ever try this recipe again. It took too much effort and time, and the results were frustratingly mediocre.

Sloppy Joes

Reviewed: May 31, 2012

I know many of you who've already reviewed this recipe loved it, but I have to say....I don't think I've ever tasted any sloppy joe mix that was this horribly sweet. Maybe I'm just not used to sweet foods, I don't know, but it was the kind of sweetness that hurt our mouths. Kudos to those of you who really enjoyed it. Your pallets must be much different than mine.

German Pancake with Buttermilk Sauce

Reviewed: May 31, 2012

I feel like it cannot become any more homemade than this. Too bad it could not be more popular in this country. I did reduce the sugar, but I wont ding you because of my preference with sweetness level. It is something I will make again and the sauce will definitely be used elsewhere. Thanks

Broccoli and Tortellini Salad

Reviewed: May 31, 2012

Had a package of tortellini I wanted to use up along with some broccoli. This was a very good combination. I added the broccoli to the last 2 minutes of the boiling tortellini water to make the green "pop" in color. I would do this again. Make your dressing up ahead of time so that the sugar has time to melt into the mayonnaise, stirring often. I used all the ingredients, but changed the order a little bit. After the dressing was well blended, about an hour I added it to the salad, withholding the sunflower seeds and bacon. I added those right be serving because I wanted them to still have some crunch. Good salad and would make it again.

Grilled Pineapple

Reviewed: May 31, 2012

Sorry. I didn't like this recipe at all. My pineapple was super juicy and sweet prior to making the recipe. When placed on the grill, it flared up fast and nearly burnt. After tasting it. We all agreed, it sort of had a weird taste and wasn't good. The grill marks didn't add but burnt flavor. And no one took more then 1 bite and discarded it. It sure was a sad sad waste. ;-(

BBQ Feta and Hot Banana Pepper Turkey Burgers

Reviewed: May 31, 2012

Sorry. I wanted to like this. But it wasn't for me. I think it was the peppers. I love all the ingredients but I didn't like the way it turned out for me. The 1st batch was a completed disaster....all burgers were soo soft on the grill....the crumbled right threw the grate when I tried to flip them. Oh I was so upset. Tried a 2nd time. And that's when I found that the peppers where too overwhelming for me. I liked the feta. Don't think I'll make this combination of a recipe again.

Lana's Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Reviewed: May 31, 2012

I didn't make the meatballs, I used frozen meatballs cause I was short on time, but I made the sauce, and simmered the meatballs in it and it was amazing! We all LOVED it. Even my picky 5 year old. I didn't put the carrots in it, but everything else I did. I put a little less brown sugar than called for. I also doubled the sauce. I will definitely make again and again. Thank you! Yummy.

I have never had meatballs that weren't just hard golf balls of ground beef, so the soft texture on these was weird to me. Definitely nice for a spaghetti dinner when some kids want meat and some kids don't.

I'm not a mustard and sweet relish kind of girl when it comes to my potato salad. This proved me wrong. I enjoyed the taste very much and also the fact that it was much ligher than your typical potato salad.

Southern Peach Cobbler

Reviewed: May 31, 2012

Served this at our Memorial Day Cookout and my mother-in-law informed me that this was the best peach cobbler she has ever had... and she was very sincere. If it can make my mother-in-law happy... then you KNOW it's good! I quadrupled the recipe and added an extra 1/4 cup of brown sugar for the topping and it turned out amazing. It tasted like breaded toffee. We just got a new crop of local peaches (I live in the south) and I figured since tackling the peaches is the hardest part, I would make WAAAAY more than I needed so that my wife and I could enjoy some throughout the upcoming week. Needless to say, the whole thing was gone in about 20 minutes. Luckily, my wife tucked some away for me, or I would have gone without. After 7+ years of family cookouts... I have never received so many compliments for a dish we made. Thank you aeposey for a wonderfully simple, yet delicious recipe!!
