Chicken-Avocado Sandwich Wrap

Posted by Annie H  

This was absolutely marvelous. I thought I'd give it a try because it looked relatively healthy and I'm very glad I did. It was my first real experience with avocados (outside of trying guacamole, which I didn't really care for) My housemates also... — CharJoyLet Aug 30, 2009

Cranberry Sweet Potatoes

Posted by Becky in Wisconsin  

Oh, this was awesome! I love sweet potatoes and cranberries, but would never have thought to put them together. It is a great combination with the orange juice, etc — everything balances very nicely! It went well with my Bishop's Brisket and I'm... — CharJoyLet Mar 29, 2009

Disappearing Apple Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mommy Bean  

OMG!! This cake is out of this world! I used Granny Smith apples and the cake came out just perfect - not too sweet and not too tart- and the apples were tender, but not "mushy". I was also concerned at first about whether there was enough... — CharJoyLet Mar 29, 2009

Can't Eat Just One Oatmeal Cookies

Posted by Mommy Bean  

These were really good! Not too sweet, which I found particularly nice. The molasses does give these cookies a different flavor. I cut the recipe down to serve 2 and got about 2 and 1/2 dozen. I also made the half of them with just raisins and... — CharJoyLet Mar 28, 2009

Green Beans, Southern Style!

Posted by Mommy Bean  

Bacon grease and green beans - how can it miss? We don't eat green beans from a can so I used fresh. For the liquid, I used about 1/4 cup of vegetable stock. Simmering for 1/2 hour made the green beans tender crisp - which is just how we like... — CharJoyLet Mar 27, 2009

Almond Bacon Cheese Spread

Posted by Becky in Wisconsin  

I really liked this! I couldn't find a block of american cheese for grating, but I did find a small block of a colby/mild cheddar/monteray jack blend. I used the food processor to make those almonds really really fine and also to grate the cheese... — CharJoyLet Mar 27, 2009

Hasty Tasty Chops

Posted by Becky in Wisconsin  

We really enjoyed this. I had gotten some nice boneless pork loin (sliced) on sale so I used that in place of actual "chops" - they really came out tender, moist and tasty! And I think next time I should use smaller potatoes. I used 4 large ones... — CharJoyLet Mar 27, 2009

Busy Day Sausage - Bean Soup

Posted by MizzNezz  

Oh MizzNezz, I really liked this. It was very easy and quite tasty. I did use beef stock instead of broth (to cut the sodium a bit). Used 2 tsps of garlic and substituted Great Northern Beans for the Butter/Lima beans (personal preferences) Very... — CharJoyLet Mar 11, 2007

Carrot Mousse

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Bergy  

This was unbelievably delicious! I made it exactly as written with the exception of the bread crumbs (I'm not overly fond of breadcrumb toppings). The vanilla does, indeed make a difference. Thanks, Bergy for another winner! — CharJoyLet Feb 24, 2007

Kielbasa Soup

EXCELLENT! 5 star all the way! Everyone loved it (the sister suggested adding a bit of shredded cabbage next time) and the housemate actually asked for the recipe! I took Tony's advice and added a little apple cider vinegar to my bowl (about a... — CharJoyLet Dec 23, 2005

Sweet Potato, Apple And Onion Gratin

Nice, tasty little dish. I made it usnig breast and thighs (both boneless/skinless). I had a bit of difficulty rolling up the chicken, though - possibly my filets were too thick? (I may need a referesher course in "fileting 101"). And though I... — CharJoyLet Oct 3, 2005
