Applesauce Muffins

Posted by MizzNezz  

I've been making these for awhile now and really enjoy them. They're quick and easy and use common ingredients. I've discovered I can substitute half the butter with an extra 1/2 cup more applesauce without sacrificing flavor. But, unlike so... — Okra Nov 6, 2009

Scalloped Potatoes

Posted by Vicki G.  

Easy to understand how this got so many good ratings. I changed the servings to 9 and followed the recipe except for adding about 1 cup of sauteed onions and 3 cups diced ham. Baked it in a sprayed 9x11 pan for about 90 minutes. My 3... — Okra Nov 6, 2009

Easy, Speedy Spaghetti Sauce

Posted by Junebug  

Quite honestly, I wasn't impressed with this recipe at all and couldn't decipe between 3 stars or two. I've actually had inexpensive canned sauce that I thought was better. Yes, it's quick and easy but I probably won't make it again. Thanks for... — Okra Nov 6, 2009

Mexican Hot Chocolate Balls

Posted by Michelle Berteig  

This may possibly be the best recipe on Zaar, IMO. I absolutely LOVE these chocolatey little melt-in-your-mouth morsels and I'm not really much of a cookie lover. I've made them three times now, halving the recipe the first 2 times. They are... — Okra Nov 6, 2009

Microwave Chocolate Mug Brownie

Posted by Antilope  

This is one of those recipes I almost wish I had never discovered because I love it too, too much! It is SO GOOD!!!!! I don't have a large enough coffee mug so I used one of my straight-sided soup bowls, which worked well. Then the 2nd time I... — Okra Aug 26, 2009

Quick Soft Breadsticks

Posted by LoveBakedIn  

Absolutely wonderful!!! I've been searching for a good breadstick recipe similar to Olive Garden's for a couple of years now and have found some to be "adequate" but nothing to write home about. This recipe, however, has ended my search. The... — Okra Aug 26, 2009

Cucumber Sandwich Filling

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Shawna Landers  

I love this! It's great as a sandwich filling on whole wheat bread, also as a spread on Ritz. Yum! I wanted a smoother spread so I processed the cucumber in the blender then drained it in a wire strainer. — Okra Aug 13, 2009

Amazing Chicken Tortilla Soup!

Posted by Valerie Marie  

What a lovely soup this is. I'm a wimp so I left out the jalapeno and the cayenne, yet it still tasted wonderful! I chose to cut my chicken into bite-sized chunks rather than shredding it. And since I like soup that's a bit more filling, I... — Okra Aug 10, 2009

Microwave Bread & Butter Pickles

Posted by Cathi Allen  

Sorry to be the lone dissenter here but I followed the recipe exactly and the pickles are very limp, not at all "crisp". The taste is ok, though rather sweet. I plan to grind it all up and use it for relish but won't be making these again. — Okra Aug 8, 2009

The Simplest Tomato Sauce Ever (Marcella Hazan)

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by MarraMamba  

When I first saw this recipe, I wondered just how good it could be with only 3 or 4 simple ingredients. I used a 14.5oz can of diced tomatoes, which measured out to almost 2 cups. The only onion I had was already chopped, so that's what I used,... — Okra Jul 25, 2009

Disney's Edible Peanut Butter Playdough

Posted by bozell6  

Made this a couple of days ago with two 7 year olds. They enjoyed mixing it and learning how to knead but none of us were happy with the consistency of this "playdough". It wasn't very pliable and was difficult to work with. I'm sorry but I... — Okra Jul 24, 2009

Soft Molasses Cookies

Posted by Shirl (J) 831  

Oh, wow! I haven't had a molasses cookie since I was a child and didn't like it. These I can't seem to get enough of. They're SO good! The only thing I'll do differently next time is to use only 1/2 tsp. salt rather than the 3/4 tsp. I used... — Okra Jun 10, 2009

Old-Fashioned Soda Crackers

I'm sorry but this did not turn out well for me. I followed the recipe exactly but ended up with tough, heavy and rather tasteless crackers. — Okra Jun 7, 2009

Crowd Pleasing Light Oat Bread (Bread Machine)

Baked French Doughnuts

Confusing...are they muffins or doughnuts? Doughnuts are ring-shaped as shown in the picture, yet the instructions say to bake these in muffin tins. Huh????? — Okra Jun 4, 2009

Jello Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mysterygirl  

Not sure what to say about this recipe. I was excited to come across it and try it, but so very disappointed in the results...the cookies are so bland and boring. Not really anything wrong with them, it's just that they aren't anything special... — Okra Jun 2, 2009

Spaghetti with Tomatoes and Feta

Posted by HeatherDiane  

I'm addicted! Absolutely LOVE this dish. The first time I made it, I tasted it right away and thought it was okay. But the next day I fell in love with it! It's definitely much better if it sits for several hours or over night. I make only... — Okra Apr 24, 2009

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Posted by Bev  

I gave most of these cookies to my son and his family and they absolutely loved them, said they're some of the best they've ever had. I, on the other hand, found them much too sweet. — Okra Mar 16, 2009

Broccoli Rice Low Cal-Big Flavor Quiche

I'm always on the look-out for dishes to make for my meatless meals that I have once or twice a week and I will definitely make this again, tho with adjustments. The onions were still raw so next time I'll sautè them first. And it screams for... — Okra Feb 27, 2009
