White Chocolate Mocha Sauce

Posted by Chef #757553  

Wonderful - now I can make a white chocolate mocha at home that tastes just like Starbucks (seriously, if you put it in a Starbucks cup, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference)! I did have to tweak it just a little - the first time I made it,... — ItalianMama Nov 9, 2009

Toffee Cookie Bites (With Saltine Crackers)

Posted by LMillerRN  

Wonderful! I really like the texture - firm and crisp (not chewy), but not as hard as regular toffee can be, so your teeth will appreciate it! Oh, and it's much easier to make without sacrificing taste. I used buttery club crackers to make this... — ItalianMama Nov 7, 2009

Fast and Easy Coconut Custard Pie

Posted by ladypit  

Wonderful! This was really yummy and so easy to make! One thing I want to comment on regarding the review about the crust being a doughy mess. When I was reading the recipe and got to the part about dusting the pie pan with flour, I very nearly... — ItalianMama Oct 13, 2009

Polynesian Curry

Posted by Krista Roes  

Excellent! I couldn't find the Heinz curry sauce (I don't think they sell it in the U.S.), so I subbed it with a homemade sauce. I used the Banana Curry Sauce from Chicken With Banana Curry Sauce - Caribbean (a half recipe of the sauce is about right). It worked perfectly!... — ItalianMama Oct 3, 2009

Japanese Steakhouse Shrimp Sauce

Posted by Krista Roes  

Wonderful balance between sweet and tangy - and so easy to make! I made homemade mayo in my blender first (Homemade Mayonnaise), so it was a simple matter to just add the rest of the ingredients. Reviewed for PAC. — ItalianMama Oct 1, 2009

Savory Chicken in Raspberry Cream Sauce

Posted by Krista Roes  

I can say without exaggeration that this is one of the best - possibly the best - sauces I've had for chicken. Wonderfully complex flavors, with just a hint of sweetness. I loved the combo of tomato and blackberry (I subbed blackberry jam for... — ItalianMama Oct 1, 2009

French Fried Onion Pork Chops

Posted by dgeo6748  

Excellent dish. I really love the extra crunch that the French-fried onions give it - and so flavorful too. I made some mushroom gravy in the pan after the pork was cooked to serve with it (beef broth, mushrooms, corn starch, and a bit of sour... — ItalianMama Sep 17, 2009

Have you ever seen "What About Bob?" . . . you know, the scene where he's at dinner and can't stop saying, "MMMMMM"? Well, that was me when I was eating these! They are so fabulous I can barely describe it - sweet and rich and buttery. And so... — ItalianMama Sep 15, 2009

Kittencal's Perfect Pesto

Posted by KITTENCAL  

As the title says - perfect! I did wind up adding a bit more olive oil (not sure how much, but at least another 1/4 c.), just because I like my pesto a bit thinner, but either way the taste is amazing. Thank you! — ItalianMama Jul 23, 2009

Tortilla Cookie Crisps

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Montana Heart Song  

I'm giving this 5 stars because this is a great basic recipe that is a PERFECT way to use all the broken tortilla chips at the bottom of the bag. I just crush them and save them until I have enough for this recipe. That said, I do think that... — ItalianMama May 10, 2009

Cake mix Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake

Posted by AuntWoofieWoof  

Very nice and moist! When I went to make this, I noticed that I was out of mayo, so I whipped up a batch of homemade mayo (Homemade Mayonnaise). Even with that extra step, it was super, super easy and fast. This is definitely a keeper! — ItalianMama May 4, 2009

Single Serving Microwave Cake

Posted by Caykrista  

Wow, I'm impressed! I've just spent the last half hour or so testing various single-serving microwavable cakes, and this was definitely the best one. It's super easy to make, and it has a really nice texture and flavor. I tried it with the... — ItalianMama Feb 17, 2009

Wonderful Curried Sweet Potato Soup

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by tigerduck  

MMMMMM! I just finished making this soup to reheat for dinner later, and I'm actually having trouble not diving into it right now. This was a kind of last-minute thing I whipped up with some leftover sweet potato puree, so I substituted curry... — ItalianMama Dec 6, 2008

Pork Tenderloin, the Best Ever

Posted by ~Nimz~  

This was really wonderful - definitely comfort food, and it was very easy to make. My cooking time was less than an hour, but I'm sure that depends on how thick your tenderloin is; mine was fairly skinny. I don't have a cast iron pan, so I just... — ItalianMama Oct 31, 2008

Spiced Vanilla Pecans

Posted by Mirj  

Ahh, the spiced pecan recipe I've been looking for! This was easy to make, and very good. I made both pecans and cashews (the cashews did take a little longer to bake). I did think that the spice level was a bit low, so I doubled it and it... — ItalianMama Jul 15, 2008

Balsamic Tomato Couscous

Posted by ladypit  

Mmmm--LOVED it! I was looking for a recipe to use up some leftover plain couscous, and this worked great. I just mixed the garlic and basil in with the tomatoes and threw in a little extra sauteed onion from the main dish I was making. Then I... — ItalianMama Aug 10, 2007

Mexican Rice

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by Pot Scrubber  

I'll admit it--I cheated on this recipe. Instead of chopping and pureeing the tomatoes and onions, I substituted 2 cups of V-8 (and omitted the additional salt). I also went with garlic powder instead of the fresh garlic. It came out PERFECT,... — ItalianMama Jun 17, 2007

Apple Turkey Fingers (For Older Infants & Toddlers)

I had no intention of making these for myself--they were supposed to be for my 10-month-old. But they smelled so amazing I had to try one, and I'm definitely going to be making these for the whole family soon! One thing I did differently--I really... — ItalianMama Jun 13, 2007
