Fried Pork Chops -- Done Right!!!

Posted by Seasoned Cook  

Oh, boy, am I chop-challenged! Many moons ago, before they started breeding all the fat (and flavor) out, I cooked really good pork chops. But that was a long time ago... I'd almost given up until finding this recipe. I just kept flipping and... — highcotton Oct 14, 2009

Boston Market Squash Casserole

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Tish  

Just too, too yummy! Some reviewers found it just a tiny bit salty and recommended omitting 1 bouillon cube to correct that. I forgot and added all 3, so I reduced the salt to 1/2 tsp., and the seasoning seemed perfect. Suggestions to reduce... — highcotton Oct 14, 2009

Hot Pizza Dip

Posted by lazyme  

Seeing a recent review of this recipe, I clicked on it because it sounded interesting, and ... oops! ... realized I'd made it months ago and apparently never reviewed. (Sorry for the senior moment, lazyme!) I couldn't agree more that this is a... — highcotton Oct 9, 2009

Ripley Tomato Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by SarahBeth131  

Andi's recent review caught my eye because I've served this many times. So if I may throw in my 2 cents' worth... This recipe only works if you use primo ingredients. Like SarahBeth, I'm a huge fan of Ripley tomatoes (not to mention, Folk's Folly!... — highcotton Oct 9, 2009

Ina Garten's Chicken Pot Pie

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Vicki in CT  

You can always count on Ina, can't you? This is just superb! You'll get more like 6-7 cups of chicken. Instead of adding it all, I use 4 to 4-1/2 cups, making up the volume difference with 1-1/2 c. cubed potato and 1/2 c. sliced celery. (I... — highcotton Oct 6, 2009

The Realtor's Italian Salad Dressing

Posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night  

This is what you'd expect at an upscale Italian restaurant (as opposed to what you'd get from a bottle at the grocery). I would strongly recommend making it at least a day in advance rather than just 3 hours. It was far, far better the second... — highcotton Sep 19, 2009

Traditional Peanut Butter and Jelly

Posted by gourmetmomma  

I can honestly say this recipe had an enormous impact on my children's lives. Seriously! They were never, ever 'required' to eat anything that was served at our dinner table. If they balked at trying a new dish, no big deal. It was understood... — highcotton Sep 10, 2009

Zucchini and Tomatoes With Parmesan Dumplings

Posted by FlemishMinx  

Never saw this coming. Instead of having a reasonably tasty little side dish as anticipated, we decided it was more like we'd died and gone to veggie heaven! Because all the zukes looked shrivelled up and terrible, I used a medium eggplant... — highcotton Sep 8, 2009

Classic Baked Spaghetti

I'm so sorry to give a low review, but we found this very bland and tasteless, despite the fact that we love all the ingredients. — highcotton Sep 3, 2009

Lee Lee's Famous Chocolate Sauce for Ice Cream

Posted by Bev  

What a great 'panic' recipe! As long as you have ice cream in the freezer, you can conjure up a delicious treat for unexpected company in a heartbeat. I do agree with Moreplease! that it's only enough for 2 servings, even though I flatly deny... — highcotton Sep 3, 2009

Yellow or Zucchini Squash Pie

Posted by southern chef in louisiana  

This was one of those times when my tummy was full, but my mouth still craved more! No crescent rolls on hand, so I used a deep-dish pie crust, adding a red bell pepper and a couple of tomatoes since I needed extra volume. They tasted great... — highcotton Aug 16, 2009

Texas Red Enchilada Sauce

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mark H.  

Mark, I used your recipe as the base for something posted by Wildflour called "Colorado Sauce". It consists of 3 cups enchilada sauce mixed with 1 cup of prepared brown gravy mix. I totally forgot to taste your red sauce before adding the... — highcotton Jul 26, 2009

Beef Wet Burritos Hacienda-Style!

Posted by Wildflour  

Although I didn't adhere strictly to your recipe, Wildflour, the parts I did use turned out to be so yummy that I think it definitely still qualifies for lots of stars. The dry rub for the roast is excellent. Since I was making enchiladas... — highcotton Jul 22, 2009

Tortillas De Harina (Flour Tortillas)

Since I'm a total klutz when it comes to breads of any kind, the ease of making this dough came as such a pleasant surprise! A food processor and a silpat made the mixing and rolling out parts virtually effortless. I hit a snag, though, when... — highcotton Jul 20, 2009

Dry Rub for Barbecued Ribs

Posted by luvmybge  

Truly excellent! Spicy and so very flavorful. With only 1 rack to cook, I halved the recipe, expecting to have a little rub left over. Instead, I ended up using it all, and it was the perfect amount for 2 lbs. of baby backs. Next time, I'm... — highcotton Jul 5, 2009

Spaghetti Sauce

Posted by ann hugo  

This was a nice basic sauce, but I had to add huge amounts of seasonings to bring it 'up to snuff'. Given the quantities of meat and tomatoes, 1/4 tsp. of this and 1/4 tsp. of that was simply undetectable. — highcotton Jun 28, 2009

Barefoot Contessa's Oven Roasted Bacon

The Simplest Tomato Sauce Ever (Marcella Hazan)

Since my opinion diverges so sharply from everyone else's, it seems fairer to post a comment sans stars since it may just be my tastebuds at fault. I used high-quality ingredients and followed directions to the letter. But, in all honesty, this... — highcotton Jun 6, 2009

Kittencal's Italian Tomato Pasta Sauce and Parmesan Meatballs

Posted by KITTENCAL  

Kittencal's instructions were right on the money — as usual!! The first day, this sauce was good, but in a very average, 3-star sort of way. The next day, it had improved somewhat but was still far short of outstanding. But on Day #3, it... — highcotton May 8, 2009
