Just Plain Luscious Cheesecake

Posted by Riverlivin'  

five stars because it's the easiest cheesecake ever and it's simply delicious topped with sweetened strawberries. Using the food processor cuts out a lot of the work and more cream cheese plus sour cream proportional to the one egg makes for a... — Carla R Dec 22, 2007

Lemon Bars

Posted by DiB's  

I lost my favorite lemon bar recipe (it was a modified Sunset Cookies and Bars cookbook recipe) so I used this as a guide. I remember from past experience with the other recipe to beat the eggs with an electric mixer for 5-8 minutes...this... — Carla R Oct 20, 2006

Chicken Chow Mein

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Lene  

I liked it. I did not have the sweet chili sauce; maybe that makes all the difference...I used oyster sauce instead...felt like it needed something else and for the noodles to have a little more sauce on them...again, maybe that's where the chili... — Carla R Aug 24, 2006

Picnic Bread (From South Africa)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Zurie  

I tried to make a more heart-healthy version substituting turkey bacon as someone suggested, 4 yolks and 12 eggwhites instead of the 8 eggs, omitting butter, and using half the buttermilk...it did not work out well. I don't think that for me and... — Carla R Aug 24, 2006

Cheesecake Cupcakes

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Johnna Seaward  

These are really good. Moist, and flavorful, without being sickly sweet like many cupcakes I've tasted. I used 8 oz. of cream cheese, since that was the size of the package, and I used the Nestle mini-morsels since they were on hand and worked... — Carla R Aug 22, 2006

Honey-Gingered Pork Tenderloin

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by FlemishMinx  

The sauce is what makes it. I did use the chicken broth and cornstarch but I did not reduse it by half. I simply brought it to a boil and added the stock and thickener. I did use all the ingredients listed but substituted Chinese 5 spice for the... — Carla R Apr 26, 2006

Hummingbird Feeding Solution

(13 people found this helpful) Posted by Kim D.  

I don't agree with this recipe. Boiling the solution for two minutes reduces the water concentration considerably so that the proportion is no longer 4:1 and the sugar concentration is actually higher. The sugar should be added to hot water only... — Carla R Mar 28, 2006

Ellie's catfish

Posted by ellie_  

Since dipping and breading takes more time and more clean up...I simply cover a baking sheet with tin foil (as I then have no pan to clean,) season the catfish the way I like it with cajun seasoning (no lemon pepper but maybe fresh squeezed lemon... — Carla R Jan 24, 2006

Caramelized Butternut Squash

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Pianolady  

My family and I loved this. I thankfully just discovered that butternut squash is so easy to peel using a vegetable peeler. I served this amazing side dish with breaded chicken breasts and my mom's yummy green bean salad which I have to get around... — Carla R Jan 17, 2006

Big Grandma's Best Peanut Butter Cookies

Posted by LiisaN  

I tried this after reading fat-sissy's review. I took her idea and substituted 1/2 cup butter and used only 1/4 cup crisco with a heaping cup of Maranatha creamy organic peanut butter ; I also substituted 1 cup whole wheat flour and added a dash... — Carla R Jan 2, 2006

Chickpea, Avocado and Sun-Dried Tomato Salad

I'm glad this recipe worked out so well for so many and I'm sorry to ruin the perfect score...I truly am. But I must be honest...maybe I didn't make it right (I'm certainly no chef extraordinaire)...I doubled the recipe and the only things I did... — Carla R Dec 31, 2005

Baked Basmati Rice

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Dannygirl  

Great Recipe! Thanks! Made it as stated except I used "better than bouillon" mixed with hot water instead of the powdered kind. Brought it to a family get together and got tons of compliments. I love rice al dente like this; I'm making it again... — Carla R Dec 19, 2005

Pork Tenderloin

(7 people found this helpful) Posted by Jjortikka  

I'm making this for the third time now. I love this simple recipe! Thank you for posting it. 4-6 hrs. "marinating" time works for flavor and I preferred it as a dry rub to the time I accidently made it a marinade with the oil (but you really can't... — Carla R Aug 12, 2005

Veggie Dip

Awesome dip! Made it for 4th of July picnic and people were raving about it. I too, loved the flavor and the fresh herbs. I used regular sour cream and mayo because that's what I had on hand and a little more garlic. It's really worth taking the... — Carla R Jul 10, 2005

Claritha's Fried Chicken

Posted by riffraff  

I really liked the flavor due to the method of salting and marinating it. It would be 5 stars if it had come out more crispy. I did use the shortening and butter and followed directions so I'm not sure why it wasn't crispy but my 4th of July crowd... — Carla R Jul 10, 2005

Paella

I was disappointed. Maybe I did not make it right...I did not have saffron handy so maybe that makes a big difference but one thing is for sure: I am not a fan of Uncle Ben's rice. I do not like its texture or flavor but especially its texture... — Carla R Jul 10, 2005
