Simple Perfect Pot Roast

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by PanNan  

I didn't realized I never reviewed this! It's now a standard recipe that we have at least twice a month now. You simply can't go wrong with it. It makes a tender pot roast that you can slice instead of having it fall apart to shreds like many... — I Married Shrek Aug 16, 2006

Vanilla Pudding

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Tonkcats  

I'm giving this 5 stars even though it's way too sweet. The reason is that the flavors are so wonderful and complex and it was so easy to make that I think everyone who looks up the recipe should try it...but using significantly less sugar. It... — I Married Shrek Jan 20, 2006

Roasted Asparagus

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by jean1  

This recipe got me to eat asparagus on a regular basis. I think the real trick is to use the GOOD olive oil. I recently found out that there can be a big difference in olive oils, and found one that has such a good flavor that I actually crave it.... — I Married Shrek Jan 10, 2006

Kelly's Midwest " Cold Remedy" Pot Roast

(25 people found this helpful) Posted by Wildflour  

I've tried at least 20 different ways to make chuck roast. NONE of which I ever wanted to eat a second time. This is the first one that I know I'm going to crave a lot. I had a smaller roast, but used the rest of ingredients as prescribed. Do not... — I Married Shrek Jun 5, 2005

The flavors of this are spectacular. I loved the filling so much, I'm trying to make a meatloaf out of it tonight!. I used fresh instead of canned mushrooms. I also added a tablespoon or 2 of brown sugar along with the white sugar at the end. It... — I Married Shrek Apr 11, 2005

beef tips

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by @ngdarlen  

Great idea! I used sirloin steaks (I had 2) and instead of water, used low salt beef boullion. It's VERY salty though. It worked well though, as the rice evened it out. I had no mushrooms. Instead I made carmelized onions as a side dish. I also... — I Married Shrek Mar 31, 2005

Edamame

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by GinnyP  

These are my new replacement for chips and nuts. By the way, if you cook them for a long time, they are different tasting but really good. I accidently boiled them for about an hour once and I liked them just as much. Soybeans are found in... — I Married Shrek Mar 30, 2005

Noreen's Chicken

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Verelucky  

This was so easy! Only problem was my chix breast were on the bone so they needed about 10 more minutes in the oven. The combination was reminiscent of cordon bleu chicken. The sauce turned into chicken gravy w/bacon. Be sure to drain well,... — I Married Shrek Mar 30, 2005

I can't say enough about this recipe! The flavors are perfect and I NEVER knew what I was missing before. I love cabbage, but never had cabbage rolls before. This is a permanent addition to our monthly recipes. Only thing different was that I put... — I Married Shrek Mar 24, 2005

Alton Brown's City Ham

We just finished eating this and it is absolute heaven. Perfection. I don't like ham cause it's salty, but this made it YUMMY! You can't tell what any single ingredient is so no one would EVER know it had ginger snaps! We had a couple problems:... — I Married Shrek Mar 19, 2005

Simply Rich Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes

Wow! Fast and Easy, even faster if you microwave the sliced potatoes in a dish w/ a quarter cup water and salt. Cover with plastic wrap tightly and microwave 15 minutes. I did this while sauting the onions on low til they were almost "golden"... — I Married Shrek Mar 19, 2005

I know I've reviewed this one already, but I have to amend my earlier comments. Later that night, after the meal was cold, I had a bite before putting it away. WOW. What a difference. I can't believe the different flavors that exploded when it... — I Married Shrek Mar 19, 2005

Baked Chicken

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

Tried and True for me. We use Lawrys. We also let the chicken dry on a rack (with a cookie sheet under it) in the frig overnight. This gives it a crisper skin when you bake. — I Married Shrek Feb 24, 2005

Teriyaki Sauce

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Kikimony  

I did a variation of this recipe. I added about 1T of fresh grated ginger, and I used peanut oil for the oil. I also added 1/4 tsp of sesame oil and some sesame seeds to it -just cause I had it. It came out very close to Yoshida's...which is what... — I Married Shrek Feb 20, 2005

Stuffed Manicotti

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by ThatJodiGirl  

Big disapointment for us. There isn't enough filling to fill up 12 manicotti. I could only get 8 and they were only half filled. The filling was runny and the delicate flavor of the ricotta was lost among the cheddar.. I don't understand the part... — I Married Shrek Feb 17, 2005

Pumpkin Spice Bread

ah geez! I failed to add the 2 tsp of baking soda..I thought it was odd that it didn't call for more leavening! Well, even though it was thick and doughlike, the flavor was perfect. We ate the whole batch anyway and I was surprised that with 3... — I Married Shrek Feb 14, 2005

Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Posted by miss gracie  

Spectacular! Hubby wanted again the next night! I nixed the sauce for caloric reasons and instead added a bit of ground sage and thyme to the breadcrumb mixture. I had to substitute a "cheese blend" for the parmesean. It had parmesean, romano,... — I Married Shrek Feb 8, 2005

Stir Fried Snow Peas With Mushrooms

Didn't have the peanut or sesame oils. Hubby snarfed it down before I even got some. I used toasted sesame seeds at the end instead of the sesame oil and used plain old vegetable oil for the saute. It was yummmy! Especially the mushrooms. Be... — I Married Shrek Feb 8, 2005
