Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2010

I used Splenda for the sugar, used half wheat/half white flour, and added butterscotch chips instead of the nuts. Very good cookies and are still good days after making them. Thanks for sharing!

Mexican Goulash

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2010

This was a quick and easy dish, just what I was looking for tonight. I made one change: instead of salsa and Velveeta, I added 3/4 of a jar of 23oz Tostito's queso dip. My 13 month old ate it up!

Delicious Stuffed Potato Pancakes

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2010

Yummmo! Made these last night and I had the boys (big and small) begging before I was even done cooking them all! As a time saver I used Simply Potatoes shredded hashbrown potatoes - 3 bags worth. Topped both with shredded cheese as others had suggested. Had 2 skillets going: one with ground beef middle and one w/bulk sausage middle. So breakfast AND dinner cooked at same time! **FYI**Didn't cook either beef or sausage before putting in middle and frying and came out PERFECTLY DONE**Yes, BOTH meats!! Thank you so much for a recipe that now MUST go into dinner rotation!

Mini Meatloaves

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2010

This recipe is FANTASTIC! The glaze/topping is the best and really makes these pop! I have made them twice now from demands of my family. I use a muffin pan and come out with 12 perfect meat-muffins. I have only made 2 small changes - once I added finely chopped onion and the other time I used a meat loaf mix instead of all ground beef. Both ways are fantastic. The recipe is PERFECT as is, but can see room to 'play' with it for more creations - next time will be adding bits of bacon to the meat ... Who doesn't love bacon?? Thank you Tonya from all of us for the NEW way mommy makes meatloaf!

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2010

I used half applesauce/half oil and more cinnamon, no cloves and about 1/2 cup more pumpkin. I made the cake portion different ways and found that piping it with a large decorating tip worked the best and kept the cookies a consistent size. The pumpkin flavor in the cakes is really good. I also used a cream cheese icing, as that is what I had, and they turned out wonderful! I froze the whoopie pies both before and after icing and had no problems with any sticky cakes. Thanks for the great recipe!

Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2010

I used half wheat/half white flour, used smooth peanut butter (added about 1/2 cup more than called for) and added a mixture of peanut butter/chocolate chips to some of them. Mine were almost done at 8 minutes, so I took them out of the oven and left them on the pan to continue baking for another minute or two. They came out very chewy. Even though peanut butter cookies are generally a more dry cookie - these came out just like I expected them to be. Thanks for the great recipe.

Dijon-Tarragon Cream Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2010

Delicious! Doubled the sauce recipe, using both whole-grain and regular dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon. Yummy results for something that is so quick and easy to prepare! Served it with jasmine rice and picky eaters (husband and teenage daughter) cleaned their plates.

Apple Cake I

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2010

I used half applesauce and half oil, splenda for the sugar and half whole wheat and half white flour. Since I grated the apples, I ended up with almost 4 1/2 cups of apples, but I think that just added to the moistness of the cake. The cake came out great, even with my little changes. Thanks for sharing!

Mexican Chicken I

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2010

I made these with chicken breast tenders, so it cooked fairly quickly. I didn't have any cumin, but I used a few squirts of fresh mexican seasoning in a tube and also added a bit of chopped onion. Very good and excellent way to use black beans. Thanks for sharing!

Apple Squares

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2010

I upped the apple to almost 1 1/2 cups, used Splenda for the sugar and omitted the nuts. Made them in a 9x9 pan and baked them for exactly 30 minutes. Came out perfect. Great flavor and I will make them again. Will probably up the cinnamon next time. Thanks for sharing!

Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2010

Wonderful recipe and easier than I expected. I did miss read the directions where it reads "stir in beans and mash" I thought it meant to add the mashed potato. So.. it was a bit watery and the beans were not mashed, but my husband (the dedicated carnivore) loved this dish and I can see myself cooking it once or twice a month.

Donut Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 23, 2010

What's not to like? Little bite sized donuts that you can pop in your mouth? Yum. I thought these tasted better after sitting overnight (in an airtight bag.) I realized once I started making these that I didn't have any nutmeg, so I used cinnamon in the batter instead, and they were really good. This is one of those "I have everything in the house to make them" kind of recipes. Thanks for sharing!

I added some extra touches that really "made it" and followed other reviewers suggestions to multilayer in the cheese. I added fresh basil, sliced tomatos, and some sauteed hot peppers. YUM.

Amazing Italian Lemon Butter Chicken

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2010

This was a wonderful recipe and was easier to make than the directions seemed. I cooked the chicken and the sauce at the same time so the sauce would not separate. I halved the butter called for in the sauce, but when I do this recipe again, I will do 3/4 cup of butter. I also made a little bit more pasta than it called for. Very yummy and I will make again.

I have made this 2 times now and both times stayed with the original recipe as written - no real changes need be made. I meant to add mushrooms the 2nd time however forgot to grab when shopping. This is a big hit and has definitely become one of our favorites!

Pizza Pasta

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2010

This was DELISH! My fam loves when I decide to do a new recipe. I did take the advise of others and fried the pepperoni with the ground beef - not only cut down on oil but also gave the beef a great flavor. Also added a dash or two of cayenne pepper. Recipe is GREAT as written (always try 2 make as written 1st time) only thing might add next time is mushrooms & maybe green peppers. THANK YOU for an awesome recipe which is NOW in rotation at my house by popular demand!

Banana Cake VI

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2010

Other than using splenda for the sugar, I made this as written. Strange directions (low temp/putting it in the freezer?!) but it worked! Very good taste. Mine made a 9x13 cake plus a small 7-inch round cake. Thanks for sharing.
