Burek

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2013

I make Burek but I make it in around 10 inch cake pan, I layer the phyllo dough then about half way I put in amixture of pork sausage and ground beef then layer it the rest of the way. My brother-inlaw is from Macedonia and this is how they make it. I think it looks like an apple pie.

Southwestern-Flavored Ground Beef or Turkey for Tacos & Salad

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2013

Not sure about the "Southwest" flare, but I did add a can of the Rotel mix for the tomatoes, added the spices, and kicked it up a notch with a chipotle pepper and sauce. Toppings for the salad included a black bean and corn mixture. Quite easy and tasty.

Turkey Pot Pie I

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2012

Nothing wrong with this recipe. I omitted potatoes (for the lack of) and added mushrooms and peas to take their place. I only had one pie crust, so I used it on top. Filling WAS NOT WATERY. It was thick and seasonings did not overpower. This was fun to make with my 3 year old too. Zero leftovers.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2012

Sweet! I have made this a couple times. I don't have a double broiler so I put a small pan inside a larger pan of boiling water. It worked pretty good. My chocolate was a 12 oz bag and I forgot to adjust the shortening (I used margarine) so my chocolate didn't harden as it should have, but that was my fault. I just layed the strawberries on wax paper because I didn't have any styrofoam. Very nice treat.

Chocolate Mousse

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2012

Yum! Great anniversary dessert. The first time I have tried to make Mousse from scratch. I doubled the recipe and it filled three normal sized wine glasses. My husband loved it and thought it was excellent. I also made some chocolate covered strawberries like the picture and it went well together. This recipe was very easy to make too.

Prosciutto-Wrapped Cherry-Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2012

Awesome. Made this for my hubby for our anniversary last night. It was great. Something so different and fairly easy. How can you go wrong with prosciutto??? The cherry gave it a twist. I doubled all ingredients except for the cherry and I was glad that I did not doube the cherry as there was plenty of cherry flavor. I also left off the sauce at the end....I was just too tired, maybe next time. Hubby thought it was excellent and "fancy".

Very good. I used left over smoked boston butt and it turned out great. Didn't have any celery so I left it out. Also used a green pepper instead of red because it is what I had in the frig. Will definitely make again.

Limehouse Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2012

Absolutely wonderful!!!! I followed directions almost exactly the only things that I did do differently was to add a 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the flower seasoning and to switch out the mint for cilantro because fresh mint was not available where I live. So incredibly delicious!!! Could not get enough!! I will definitely be making this again very soon... maybe with my own twists on it!

Pork Medallions with Balsamic Vinegar and Capers

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2012

excellent!!! I doubled the sauce as others had said too. Was pretty good even though i cut up really fatty pork chops i had in the freezer. Very surprised that something so easy was sooooo delicious! It did make my house smell of vinegar but the pork did not taste too much of vinegar. I served with red mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. This dish was even a hit with my boyfriend who absolutely hates capers. Great recipe!!! THANKS!

PREBAKE bottom crust first. Try brushing egg white on the bottom of the crust too. Increase the liquid. Add seasonings (garlic powder, poultry season, thyme, crushed red pepper). Brush top of pie with egg white. Serve. Sit back and wait for the rave reviews!

Cranberry Scones

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2012

I did this recipe as directed. Yes, the scones were very wet with the batter, so instead of adding so much flour, I simply split the recipe in half, dusted them with flour, then put each into a sprayed glass bread pan. No rolling, no fuss, and easy to cut into triangles after they cooled. Now I need a glaze recipe of some sort.

Cauliflower With a Kick

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2012

I don't know what happened, but I didn't like this at all. Sorry. The texture was gritty. I don't think I should have added any milk...maybe cream cheese or something would have been better, but then it would take away from the healthiness of this dish. Won't make again.

Ham and Noodle Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2012

Awesome!! I had a few things that I had to change due to what I had on hand but I wouldn't make it any differently now! Instead of swiss cheese i had a bag of kraft italian 4 cheese with cream cheese that I used, I also added 1/2 pound of baby portabella mushrooms and peas. I also used cream of mushroom soup instead because that was what i had. It also needs spice i added cayenne pepper and crushed red pepper, absolutely amazing! will make again soon!

Amish Slaw

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2012

I was searching for a vinegar based slaw because it seems like all anyone ever makes is mayo based. I chose this because of the rating and I leave near a Mennonite community in middle Tennessee. The only thing I added to this recipe were carrots. Other than that, pretty good recipe. I may add a wee bit more vinegar for tang next round.

Cream of Spinach Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2012

Quick & easy. This took less than 10 minutes from start to finish. This is the perfect soup to make for someone that is scared of making soup, doesn't like to chop veggies, the beginner to the expert. I was excited to find this recipe with spinach. Once I started, I realized I had about a third of what the recipe called for. So I improvised by adding frozen broccoli and peas to round out the green. Once heated and added to the roux/milk mix, I used my immersion blender to puree the soup. Outstanding, thick flavor. Even forgetting to add the salt and pepper, I had three bowls of it. I can't think of any improvements needed to this recipe! Well done!
