Recipes

Fall Pumpkin Pie

Date: 2012/11/19
"I made two pies using this pumpkin pie recipe. I used my own pumpkin puree but everything else was as shown in the recipe. They turned out really good. We ate one and I froze one for Thanksgiving."

Crab & Veggie Pasta Salad

Date: 2015/06/26
"I was a little leary of mixing vinaigrette with miracle whip in the same salad because I was not sure how that would taste but it turned out a lot better than expected. I also wasn't sure about the basil being added but again it was ok. I should have halved the recipe for just us but it would be a nice size to take to a potluck."

Easy Mexican Chicken Casserole

Date: 2015/05/07
"I didn't have much time to make up much for Cinco de Mayo but tried this recipe to have something that was Mexican. It was pretty good but I think next time I would put a little less nacho chips in it because it was just a little drier than we like. Had good flavor though."

Crispy Fried Ravioli

Date: 2015/04/24
"Delicious. I served this as an appetizer on Italian night. Easy and terrific."

Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole

Date: 2015/04/03
"Great hot dish! We love tater tot hot dish and we really liked the extra flavor from the cheese and green chilies. We will probably make it like this in the future."

Simple Barbecued Meatballs

Date: 2015/02/03
"I really liked these meatballs but I have had barbecue sauce I liked better. It wasn't bad, and was very simple to make but just didn't like the flavor as well as some of the sauces I have made before."

Crunchy Macaroni Slaw

Date: 2015/01/26
"This coleslaw got a thumbs up at our house. We loved all the crunchy ingredients, along with the chewy texture of the pasta. The only thing I am going to change next time is that I will wait to add the coleslaw mix until maybe 30 minutes before serving."

Cookie Press Spritz Cookies

Date: 2014/12/15
"I used the xmas tree press form and used green coloring. Be sure that your baking sheet is cool otherwise you will have trouble getting the dough to stick on the baking sheet out of the cookie press."

Layered Spaghetti Casserole

Date: 2014/12/11
"I made this casserole for a pot luck supper we had to go to. It was a thick and hearty casserole, perfect for a pot luck supper. It was all gone so everyone must have enjoyed it."

Garlic & Cheese Biscuits

Date: 2014/12/07
"I made these biscuits last night to go with our chili. They were perfect for dunking into the chili. I think they would go great with a lot of different meals. We will definitely be having these again."

Oreo Chex Bars

Date: 2014/09/19
"We all love Oreos so I thought everyone would love these bars. They were ok but I think we would have liked them better if they were made with just Rice Krispies rather than the Vanilla Chex cereal."

Pasta BLT Salad

Date: 2014/06/06
"This salad was very good. I love the combination of lettuce and pasta together. This would make a nice salad for a light dinner during the summer."

Pork Chops and Gravy

Date: 2014/05/06
"This was really a great way to fix pork chops. The chops were moist and flavorful plus it made great tasting gravy. I will definitely be making our pork chops like this again."

Family-Style Scalloped Corn

Date: 2014/04/17
"Good scalloped corn recipe. I will definitely use this recipe again. I liked the mixture of frozen corn and cream-style corn."

"These were really good roasted potatoes. Easy to make and would go with most any meal."

Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

Date: 2014/01/10

Rib Eye Roast

Date: 2013/12/12
"My husband made this for us this last weekend. It was simple enough for him and it turned out delicious! I will let him make this anytime!"

Homemade Baking Powder Biscuits

Date: 2013/10/08
"This was an easy biscuit to throw together at the last minute. We often like to have some type of bread with our meal and this biscuit would go well with most any meal, especially if you had gravy to dunk it in!"

Chocolate Chocolate Brownies

Date: 2013/09/05
"Was looking for a moist brownie but this wasn't. It was ok but a little too chocolaty. I ended up making some cream cheese frosting with almond flavoring and frosted them. That helped cut the chocolate flavor a little and they were actually pretty good. I got several compliments on them."

Simple Macaroni Salad

Date: 2013/08/23
"Great salad! I loved the flavor that the mixture of bell peppers added to the taste of this salad. I will definitely make this again."

Top Round Beef Roast

Date: 2013/08/06
"I followed this recipe but cut back on the cooking time. I had the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes and then finished roasting at 350 degrees. Instead of roasting it for 20 minutes, I started checking the internal temperature every 10 minutes until it had reach 140 degrees because I was looking for a medium-rare roast. It turned out great!"

Bruschetta with Tomato and Mozzarella

Date: 2013/08/02
"This is a nice appetizer for a small get-together. They were delicious but I would hate to make them for a large party."

Quick and Easy Corn Salsa

Date: 2013/07/26
"Great salsa! I used my fresh tomatoes from the garden and added some chopped jalapenos. The best part of this salsa is that it doesn't call for onions!"

Easy Barbecue Sauce

Date: 2013/07/04
"This is the barbecue sauce recipe I used when I made the grilled chicken thigh recipe. It was simple to make and it was excellent on the grilled chicken."

Grilled Chicken Thighs

Date: 2013/07/03
"The supermarket had a good deal on leg quarters so I picked some up for supper last night. I needed and quick and easy recipe so I tried this on and it was great. A little bit of barbecue sauce gave this chicken just the right boost of flavor."

Roasted Red Potatoes

Date: 2013/06/27
"Great roasted potatoes. I don't care for rosemary either so I tried the steak seasoning as RTMember1029 did and we loved it. Went perfect with our grilled steaks."

Rhubarb Sweet Rolls

Date: 2013/06/25
"I am getting to the end of my rhubarb but had enough to try this recipe and I am glad that I did. These sweet rolls were fairly simple and they were delicious. I was a little leery when I poured the sauce over the rolls because of all the liquid but they turned out great. All that liquid made a yummy sauce to drizzle over the rolls."

Rhubarb Upside Down Muffins

Date: 2013/06/10
"I am getting to the end of my rhubarb and wanted to try a couple of different recipes. I tried this rhubarb muffin recipe and thought it was pretty good but I have others that I like better."

Strawberry Dessert Squares

Date: 2013/05/29
"Delicious! They are easy to make and I loved the sugar cookie crust. The strawberries, cream cheese and white chocolate chips are a great combination."

Candied Carrots

Date: 2013/05/16
"We love cooked carrots anyway but this recipe just gave them that little boost of sweetness. Simple to make . . . I will use this recipe again."

Garlic Spread for French Bread

Date: 2013/04/16
"This spread makes pretty good garlic toast. I served it with spaghetti and it went really well with it. The only thing I would change is to use half garlic powder and half garlic salt rather than all powder. I think the salt would enhance the flavor of the spread."

Easy Blueberry Pie

Date: 2013/03/28
"I prefer blueberry pie make with canned pie filling rather than fresh blueberries so was glad to find this recipe. I made it yesterday on my day off and it was delicious. Just the way I like it. I even made the cinnamon crust with the leftover crust. That was a nice additional treat! I will definitely use this recipe again."

Tropical Carrot Cake

Date: 2013/03/14
"Delicious carrot cake. The pineapple and coconut are great additions. This cake is very moist and has a nice spring flare to it. I made it for a group of my friends that I had over for a small get-together and they all thought it was great. Had to give the recipe to everyone."

Baked Ham with Apple Mustard Glaze

Date: 2013/03/10
"If anyone is looking for a good ham recipe for Easter, they should try this one. I made this last year for Easter and it was excellent. We loved the glaze on it. I will be using this recipe again this year."

Honey Pineapple Chicken Drummettes (Crock Pot Recipe)

Date: 2013/02/11
"I did not care for these wings, but I think it was how they were made. Having them cook in a slow cooker for 6 hours while they sat in the sauce all that time made them soak up too much of it. They turned a real dark color and just didn't taste great. I think it would be better to marinate them in the sauce for a few hours or overnight; and then remove them from the marinade and bake them in the oven. I think this would have produced better results. I know I won't make them again, especially in the crock pot."

Leftover Turkey Enchiladas

Date: 2013/01/22
"This was a great way to use up some leftover turkey. We enjoy leftover turkey, potatoes, gravy, and dressing but one meal of those leftovers and we are ready for a change. This time I had plenty of turkey to make these enchiladas. They were so easy to make and they were excellent!"

Crock Pot Chicken and Noodles

Date: 2013/01/15
"Great recipe! Super easy and very tasty. We love soups and it is nice to find one that is so easy to make and that tastes great. I could easily throw it together in the morning before work and then we get to come home to a great meal."

Ice Cream Sandwich Surprise

Date: 2012/12/06
"Using ice cream sandwiches for the ice cream layer and caramel topping for the caramel layer made this dessert so easy to make. My husband's eyes lit up when he saw this dessert because he loves Butterfinger candy bars. He had a piece after supper and another little one before he went to bed so he must have liked it."

Mashed Potatoes

Date: 2012/11/06
"I liked this recipe because it didn't have sour cream in it. I had to triple the recipe so it made it hard to mash them but I split it into two batches and that worked pretty good. I used a little less milk than what was called for and they turned out great . . . only a couple of lumps!"

Old Fashioned Scalloped Corn

Date: 2012/11/01
"I was looking for a good scalloped corn recipe and this was pretty tasty. The paprika gave it a really nice color after it was baked. I added a tablespoon of sugar just to sweeten it a bit. This will make a nice dish to serve for a holiday because it looks so nice when it is done."

Quick Pizza Breadsticks

Date: 2012/10/14
"Crusty and flavorful. I made these breadsticks to serve with our steak and salad last night. They were really tasty and went great with the salad. We didn't serve it with pizza sauce but I think they would be good dipped in it."

Lettuce Salad

Date: 2012/10/14
"Sometimes my husband and I like to have just a salad and steak for supper so I tried this lettuce salad the other night. It was great. Just enough variety of ingredients and a simple dressing. We will definitely be making this lettuce salad a lot."

Baking Powder Drop Biscuits

Date: 2012/10/05
"Quick and easy biscuits with good taste. I will definitely make these again. We like to have bread sometimes with our meals and these are simple to whip up just before eating so they are warm out of the oven when served."

Simple Crab Pasta Salad

Date: 2012/09/18
"We had this last night for a light dinner. It was great. Easy to make and just the right mixture of ingredients. We had this salad with a slice of our favorite bread and that was enough for a nice simple meal."

Spooky Spider Guacamole

Date: 2012/09/13
"A clever way to serve an appetizer at a Halloween party."

Summer Vegetable Kabobs

Date: 2012/08/15
"These kabobs were so flavorful and easy to make. I made them and my husband grilled them. We will definitely be making these again."

Vegetable and Rice Medley

Date: 2012/08/07
"My husband grilled some fish fillets last night and I fixed this rice dish to go with it. It was very tasty and went well with the fish. My rice turned out a little sticky but it was still very good. I will make it again and try not to stir it more than necessary and maybe that will help prevent the rice from getting sticky."

Frosted Graham Cracker Cookies

Date: 2012/07/16
"A good bar to make when you don't want to heat up the house by starting your oven. The kids loved the thick layer of frosting on these bars."

Blueberry Banana Smoothie

Date: 2012/06/22
"Very tasty! After reading cheer4lyfe's review, I tried this recipe using 1% milk, low-fat yogurt (not non-fat), and add 3/4 of a banana. I think this helped thicken the smoothie up. I thought it turned out great."

Chicken Pasta Salad with Poppyseed Dressing

Date: 2012/06/18
"I thought this salad was good and it was very easy to make, especially when the dressing you use is bottled. I ended up using a cup of dressing though because otherwise it would have been very dry."

Chicken Divine - Chicken, Rice, and Broccoli Casserole

Date: 2012/05/28
"We loved this recipe. It was great served over brown rice. The casserole was easy to make and then I just had to make the rice for a complete meal."

Oven Baked Chicken and Vegetables

Date: 2012/05/15
"Good weeknight meal. It doesn't take too long to put together and you can get a few things done while it is baking. The chicken was moist and the veggies were tasty. I added a little more vegetables and left the skin on the chicken for more flavor. I baked it uncovered for about 10 minutes at the end so chicken would brown a little more."

Mexican Style White Rice

Date: 2012/05/09
"I made this recipe as a side dish to some other Mexican recipes I was making. I turned out good but I thought it had a pretty strong cilantro flavor. My sister and husband were here for supper when we had it and my sister loved it because she likes cilantro a lot. It was OK but next time I will probably use less cilantro, unless my sister is going to be here!"

Ground Beef Wild Rice Casserole

Date: 2012/05/01
"This casserole was very tasty. Even my husband commented that he liked it without me asking! I didn't add the mushrooms because neither of us likes them. Only problem was that I forgot to cover the casserole when I baked it and some of the wild rice was hard. Next time I will be sure to cover it."

Cracker Mix for a Crowd

Date: 2012/04/25
"I have made this recipe several times to take to parties that we have been invited to and each time I make it I think I have used different crackers and snacks. It doesn't seem to matter because it always disappears in a hurry. After the first time I made it though, I realized that I needed to make half the recipes because it makes such a large batch."

Italian Calzone

Date: 2012/04/10
"This was pretty good homemade calzone. I thought it looked harder to make than it was but I used store bought pesto and used 2 cups of shredded Mozzarella cheese rather than fresh."

Broccoli, Cauliflower and Rice Casserole

Date: 2012/03/15
"This casserole was good. I could have given a 5-star but it was just a little dry. Next time I will add a full cup of milk instead of only 2/3 cup and maybe that will help."

Pigs in a Blanket Wrapped with Cheese

Date: 2012/02/23
"I make these for a Super Bowl party and the kids there loved them. The adults even thought they were good. I thought they would be tedious to make but they were not bad at all."

Pumpkin Cake Dessert

Date: 2012/02/06
"I love pumpkin desserts and this one was good but I have others I like better. This could be served without the cool whip but I always think any pumpkin dessert should have cool whip on top."

Ranch Snack Mix 9

Date: 2012/01/31
"Great munchies! Easy to make. I added 2 cups of Cheetos and just decreased the pretzels and crackers by 1/2 cup each and added only 7 cups of Crispix."

Barbecue Crock Pot Little Smokies

Date: 2012/01/25
"I made these for the holidays and we all loved them so I am going to make them again for a super bowl party we are invited to. Super easy appetizer recipes!"

CHICKEN DIP 39

Date: 2012/01/15
"Quick and easy to make. We had a party to go last night and I had a busy weekend so I needed something easy to make to take to the party. This recipe was perfect. Everyone at the party loved it."

Merry Christmas Cheesecake Bars

Date: 2011/12/27
"These cheesecake bars were perfect as one of our desserts that we had with our Christmas turkey dinner. They added some Christmas colors and were like eating mini cheesecakes. The recipe only made a small batch but that was OK because we had a lot of other goodies to eat too."

Roasted Turkey

Date: 2011/12/27
"I made this turkey recipe for Christmas. It was a simple recipe that added a little flavor to the turkey but not so much that you couldn't taste the real flavor of the turkey. The turkey was very moist and we all loved it."

Grato Potatoes

Date: 2011/10/24
"I thought this recipe turned out a little dry and was hoping for a little more cheesy flavor. I might have to add a little more cheese and milk if I make it again."

Bottom Round Pot Roast

Date: 2011/08/08
"I had a round roast in the freezer and wanted to try a different recipe for cooking it. The roast turned out very flavorful but was just a little dry. We sliced the leftovers in very thin slices, which made delicious sandwiches."

Beef and Biscuit Bake

Date: 2011/07/13
"I made this recipe this weekend and everyone liked it but next time I am going to try it with red chili beans instead of regular kidney beans. I won't drain the beans either because it was just a little drier than we like. I think using the chili beans with the chili powder called for in the recipe will help give it a little more of a chili flavor, which we felt would be better."
