Garlic Roasted Chicken and Potatoes

Reviewed: Sep. 23, 2012

This was pretty tasty- I followed the recipe pretty closely just added a few extra veggies and some herbs. It smoked up my house pretty bad, but I can live with that. It's four stars only because it was kind of greasy- a little too greasy for my taste. Too much butter I think.

Homemade Flour Tortillas

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2012

I made these tortillas last night for my family.We used them for quesadilla's,I didn't feel like running to the store so i used shortening instead of lard They turned out pretty good.It said they make 24 but they made 12 small sized ones, Maybe due to the i fact didn't have a roller.Next time i will try lard to see if they taste any different!Over all my family was pretty happy with them!

Parmesan Asparagus

Reviewed: Jun. 11, 2012

Had no oil, so I melted butter on the pan while the oven heated. Then used 3 cloves fresh garlic and freshly grated pepper and salt, mixed it all together on the pan. Cooked six minutes then added the parm cheese for the last six minutes. Loved it!!!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2012

So good! These are always a hit and are awesome exactly as the recipe calls. However, I like to add a teaspoon or two of vanilla extract to the milk before I add the oatmeal, and I usually cut back the salt to 1/2 tsp or so. Highly recommended.

Smoked Salmon Frittata

Reviewed: May 9, 2012

This was a great starter recipe for me! I tend to always tweak recipes... and this one I didn't do all that much to. I just added a clove of garlic in with the onions and instead of regular black olives I used kalamata olives. Also added some rosemary and fresh dill as well as a pinch of sharp cheddar on top. Turned out to be a fantastic dinner for my dad and I!

Barbecue Ribs

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2012

Mmm, the marinade is going to be my go-to recipe for BBQ sauce now. These were seriously good. The kitchen smelled like a distillery afterward but the rum was not overpowering, just added a really lovely flavor. I don't like spice so I totally left out the chile sauce and we cut the sugar because I don't usually care for tooth-achingly sweet bbq. It was so yummy!!

Chicken Tortilla Soup V

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2011

Oh YUM! I followed the more precise instructions from reviewer NMR and this turned out great. Had to sub gouda for the jack cheese cause that's what I had, but it was still pitch perfect. I also roasted a habanero pepper and chopped it up to put in my sweetie's serving, as he likes things very spicy. Yum!

Spicy Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2011

Oh my goodness, sooo good!! Thought about cooking the veggies before hand, so glad I didn't. Only one change was too use two slices of cheese. I will try this again with different cheeses (probably tomorrow). Had to try this one because these are three of my favorite veggies.

Best Egg Rolls

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2011

I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5 simply because it sounded just a bit to blan for me. I changed the recipe to my liking but cannot rate this recipe for my creation. This recipe however is a great starting point for those who have never made egg rolls before.

Plum Jam

Reviewed: Sep. 17, 2011

Hello everyone, I am the submitter of this recipe. I just wanted to make a little note, depending on how fresh your plums are is what determines the amount of sugar you need. As they ripen more they tend to lose some of their sweetness, therefore needing more sugar. I live in a small part of Alaska & we tend to get fruit that is near the end of its shelf life. For fresh plums I would suggest adding only 6- 6 1/2 cups of sugar. Thanks & enjoy!

Zucchini Cobbler

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2011

Delicious! I took out the seeds of zucchini with a spoon just like you do with melon and sliced zukes really thin. No bitterness. I also used two packs of instant maple brown sugar oatmeal instead of 1 cup of flour. Next time I think I will add crushed pecans to give it a little crunch factor! Great way to use up zucchini if your sick of grilling it or making zucchini bread!

Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2011

These were so good! I was a skeptic, but my sweetie loves quesadillas and I was looking for a way to make them meatless to save money but still be filling- jackpot! I'm not a salsa person, so I left that and the red pepper flakes out, then added some fresh basil from my garden and squeezed half a lime into the mix. I think cilantro would probably be good in this too.

Sunday Morning Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes

Reviewed: Aug. 6, 2011

These were good! I only have two minor nitpicks: one is that they don't taste all that lemony, and that was after I doubled the amount of lemon. Secondly, the mixture as the recipe calls for was really runny- the pancakes did not hold their form at all until I added some more flour. To be fair, I did use a gluten free flour mix with this, but I have never had a problem with it before. Other than those two things, these pancakes were great, made the batter the night before and then threw them on the griddle for a quick breakfast. The poppy seed flavor was perfect, maybe next time I'll spread them with lemon curd or something to really bring out the lemon flavor.

Zucchini Brownies

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2011

Hmm. Not sure what happened with these... I had to half the recipe because my zucchini was not as big as I had thought. In the end I actually had just a bit less than 1 cup of zucchini. They tasted good, but they smelled kind of weird- like veggies I guess. The disconnect of eating something that smelled like veggies but didn't taste like veggies made the experience of eating them not that fun. It's too bad, too, because the idea of getting veggies in your dessert is amazing.

Snickerdoodles II

Reviewed: Jul. 27, 2011

These turned out really well- which is pretty amazing considering I ran out of sugar (only discovered this right after I got back from the grocery store with butter) and made them with gluten free flour. I think it speaks to the flexibility of both this recipe and snickerdoodles in general. I ended up using 1/2 cup of normal sugar and 1 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 3 cups of Pamela's baking Mix instead of the AP flour. Turned out great, thanks for the recipe... sorry I kind of bastardized it.

Fantastical! I used to use the boxed stuff to make burgers and roasted potatoes and tons of other stuff, but it has barley in it! Thanks for a gluten, preservative, and artificial flavoring free alternative that tastes just as good and is WAY cheaper!!
