Cheesy Ham and Potato Soup

Posted by SweetsLady  

I made some adjustments based on what I had on hand. It was very different, but yummy. The kids enjoyed it. It was a little rich for my taste though. I served it with homemade biscuits. Comfort food at its finest. — it'scolleen Mar 6, 2009

Sweetened Condensed Milk

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by wildheart  

Awesome Recipe! I bake a lot and always have powdered milk on hand. I like the taste much better when you make it with powdered buttermilk. If it is too thin for you, use less water. If you think it is granular make a simple syrup first (warm... — it'scolleen Oct 23, 2008

Give a Dog a Bone (dog Treat)

Posted by Sandi (From CA)  

I made these in small bites to use for training my puppy. I used beef broth and left out the salt since that is on the "NEVER feed to a dog list." I found them to be bland and my dogs weren't all that impressed. Next time I will tweak it until... — it'scolleen Oct 1, 2008

Posted by Beverly Carson  

I did a dry rub with the seasonings & honey (great combination of flavors) and oven roasted them at 375 for 45 minutes (turning once) then I brushed with BBQ sauce, and roasted for another 20 minutes. They were YUMMY! My 4 year old son ate a whole... — it'scolleen Apr 15, 2008

Herbed Trout With Lemon Butter

Posted by Annacia  

Just got some fresh rainbow trout and decided to make a "different" kind of dinner. I made this with fresh rosemary and green onions from the garden. I served this with a variety of cheese, breads, fruit & salad. The kids ate and ate, and the... — it'scolleen Apr 11, 2008

Pappadeaux Snapper Ponchartrain

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Molly53  

OMG! This was out of this world! I was afraid it would be too spicy for our little ones, so I only used half the spice. The balance of flavors and rich creamy butter balanced the HOT. Next time I'll make it exactly like the recipe. My 4 year olds... — it'scolleen Mar 20, 2008

Pumpkin Cake

Posted by RecipeNut  

FABULOUS CAKE I am known for making unusual dishes. I made this for a client who has a very restricted diet. It baked up beautifully, was very moist, and was the hit of his 80th birthday party. I made a hazelnut buttercream frosting and the... — it'scolleen Feb 23, 2008

Oatmeal Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Ann Arber  

I made this twice. The first time I made it exactly as written. I greased my pan with Pam and baked. I was a little worried about how watery the batter was. It was a mess in the pan and completely fell apart. The taste was good though. I remade it... — it'scolleen Feb 23, 2008

I have been trying various caramel recipes for years. OMG!!!! This is so much better than the wrapped caramels and better than the jarred stuff. I made a huge batch and stored in the fridge. We used it to top apple pie, ice cream, sliced apples,... — it'scolleen Nov 2, 2007

Chocochip Peanut Butter Cookies Made With Oil (Not Marg)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mirj  

I made in a crunch w/o any butter or margerine on hand. They turned out way too sweet and crumbly. This recipe could be good if tweeked a bit. I haven't tried it... but I would add one more egg, a bit more peanut butter, increase the brown sugar... — it'scolleen Oct 28, 2007

Peppercorn Encrusted Roast Lamb

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by An_Net  

YUM YUM! My husband has always said he didn't care for Lamb. I saw a beautiful leg of lamb at the store so thought we'd try it for a change. He raved about how delicious and tender the meat was. True winning dish that we'll have again. BTW 200-225... — it'scolleen Oct 19, 2007

Parmesan-Basil Perch

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Rhonda O  

I made this for Lent. I didn't have any parmesean cheese so I used smashed sour cream and onion potato chips instead of bread crumbs. I did everything else according to the recipe. It was YUMMY and had a different flavor that was devoured by our 3... — it'scolleen Mar 2, 2007

Awesome Pinto Beans

I made my own version of this with what I had on hand. I added ground pork and tomato sauce, eliminated the carrots and celery and changed the seasoning a bit. Mine turned out FABULOUS and was devoured at a potluck. The coffee is a great tip! It... — it'scolleen Oct 12, 2006

Homemade Icing

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Sammie Sue Privett  

I've been fooling around with different frosting recipes, because I think the ones made with Crisco taste like wax. This was FANTASTIC! It lacks a little bit of flavor, so I added vanilla to the base to frost the cake. I added melted white... — it'scolleen Mar 13, 2005

Sweet Potatoes and Apple Casserole

Posted by Tish  

I used a similar version of this recipe and it was tasty but still tasted raw and dry. It is VITAL to use partially cooked sweet potatoes and GRANNY SMITH APPLES! Neither were specified in the version I used. — it'scolleen Nov 26, 2004
