Crock Pot Aztec Black Beans

Posted by Geema  

These couldn't be easier and they're so tasty! Even with soaking overnight, my beans were still a bit crunchier than I prefer after 10 hours on low, so next time I think I'll either let them go longer or cook them on high. I increased the salsa... — Jessie MacMillan Oct 4, 2009

Lemon Cake Pie

Posted by Engrossed  

WOW! Deep-dish, frozen pie crusts are sold only in pairs at my grocery store. I know from experience that leftover frozen pie crusts get beaten up in my freezer, so I increased the recipe by half and had the right amount of filling for two pies.... — Jessie MacMillan Oct 4, 2009

Pinto Beans and Rice in a Crock Pot (Or on Stove Top)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Junebug  

Terrific! I tweaked the recipe based on the reviews and my preferences: increase salsa to 1 cup; reduce pepper to 1/4 tsp; increase oregano to 1 T. When the beans were done, I added a one-pound package of shredded carrots while the crock... — Jessie MacMillan Oct 4, 2009

Favorite Fudge Birthday Cake

Posted by knitaholic  

This is a wonderfully delicious cake! It was a big hit at the birthday party I took it to. And in my case, it's wonderfully delicious even without the espresso powder because I forgot to add it. It's best to see the recipe on the King Arthur... — Jessie MacMillan Sep 12, 2009

Fusion Ketchup

Posted by Mille® ™  

Yum! I've been trying to avoid high fructose corn syrup, so most ketchups are off my list. Organic ketchups are too sweet. 'Zaar to the rescue! This recipe is easy and tasty. I saved a ketchup squeeze-bottle and used a funnel to "pour" (with some... — Jessie MacMillan Feb 7, 2009

Almost Apple Pie

Posted by Gerry  

This got good reviews at Christmas dinner but I thought the crumbs were bland. I'd have given this recipe three stars but I think part of the problem was the apples I used. I used 5 granny smith apples that probably weren't juicy enough for this... — Jessie MacMillan Dec 28, 2008

Dick's Dip

Posted by ~Leslie~  

This is an interesting recipe and the horseradish sauce is essential. I, too, found it too sweet. Also, the recipe makes way too much for one 8-ounce package of cream cheese. If I make this again, I'll halve the other ingredients and I'll soften... — Jessie MacMillan Dec 28, 2008

Best Ever Pumpkin Pie

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

Yep, the ratings don't lie. This really is the best-ever pumpkin pie. I made mine in a store-bought 9-inch pie crust and had filling left over, so next time I'll either make my own crust, buy a larger one, or bake two small ones. The taste was... — Jessie MacMillan Dec 28, 2008

Sandra's Key Lime Pie

Posted by William Lawrence  

Perfect! This is identical to the recipe on the Nellie & Joe's bottle, except for the cream cheese. I was skeptical at first, but went ahead and added the cream cheese. I'm so glad I did! I made three pies for Christmas this year and this was far... — Jessie MacMillan Dec 28, 2008

Crock Pot Snack Mix

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by lazyme  

Easy and yummy. I doubled all the ingredients except for the butter and made this in my 6-quart slow cooker. This recipe is ideal for those days when you have other cooking or baking to do and don't want to tie up the oven with snack mix. I made... — Jessie MacMillan Dec 28, 2008

Five (Or More!) Ingredient Garlic Quinoa

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Happy Harry #2  

Wonderful! It's yummy as written and easy & quick to make. This is a terrific recipe for the Weight Watchers Core plan (and it's only 3 Points per serving, but who's counting?). I've been eating this for breakfast, reheated with some frozen peas... — Jessie MacMillan Sep 28, 2008

Bulgar, Chickpeas, & Tomatoes

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by mliss29  

Terrific recipe! Easy, quick, and tasty. It's also a forgiving recipe because I only roughly chopped the onions, left the skins on the tomatotes, chopped but did not mince the tomatoes, and used half the salt. Next time around I might add a clove... — Jessie MacMillan Sep 28, 2008

Fat Free Liquid Gold Salad Dressing

Posted by zoo66  

I was going to give this 4 stars until I realized that it was because I'm not a fan of cumin. This is a terrific fat-free salad dressing and shouldn't be down-graded because I don't like cumin. I'm going to try different spices to see if I can... — Jessie MacMillan Sep 4, 2008

Magnolia Bakery's Vanilla Birthday Cake and Frosting

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Marie  

The cake was a hit! I'm giving it only 3 stars, however, because I had to doctor the frosting to cover up the powdered-sugar taste. I added a total of a teaspoon of lemon extract, one-quarter teaspoon at a time, to balance the taste of the... — Jessie MacMillan Aug 30, 2008

Self-Rising Flour

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by hcopeland  

Hooray! I'm about to bake a cake that requires self-rising flour, which I rarely use. The grocery store had it only in 5-pound bags and I doubt I'll use that much in a year, so I gave it a pass. I figured the Zaar would tell me how to make my own... — Jessie MacMillan Aug 24, 2008

Slow Roll

Posted by mommyoffour  

Yum! I'd never heard of this drink before and have enjoyed it three times now. The first time I made it, I forgot to add the triple sec; I'd have rated that drink 3, maybe 4, stars. Then I made it with the triple sec and that turned it into a... — Jessie MacMillan Jul 26, 2008

Broccoli Salad with Lemon Yogurt Dressing

Posted by love4culinary  

Tasty! The tarragon is an unusual taste in a salad, so it takes some getting used to. I'll definitely try this again and if it grows on me, I'll be back to give it more stars. — Jessie MacMillan Jan 29, 2008

Chicken Stroganoff

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by JustJanS  

I loved this but my husband was, well, not enthusiastic. He's a meat & potatoes man, so it's tempting for me to give this 5 stars! This is easy and delicious. Thanks! — Jessie MacMillan Jan 21, 2008

Spaghetti Squash Casserole

Posted by SusieQusie  

I loved this but my husband was less enthusiastic. I like spaghetti squash much more than my husband does, so it's not surprising. I think next time I'll add some other spices besides salt & pepper, perhaps some Italian spices. — Jessie MacMillan Jan 20, 2008
