Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

Really tasty! I used a giant-sized muffin tin and the recipe made six of those--froze them for weekday breakfasts. Thanks! — MaryMc Oct 20, 2009

Tangerine Stir-Fried Beef With Onions and Snow Peas

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Scoutie  

This has a really nice flavor. I bumped up the amount of beef (DH wouldn't know what do with all those veggies!) but otherwise I wouldn't change a thing. He wants me to try it with pork next time. — MaryMc May 3, 2009

Hazelnut Blondies

OH MY!!! These are SOOO good! They're wonderful plain, but spread with Nutella...I don't think that pan I just made is going to last very long! — MaryMc Apr 22, 2009

Bolo Negro De Loriga = Darken Cake from Loriga

Posted by Mia #3  

This was a really tasty bread--cinnamon-y and light! I baked it at 375 degrees F. for an hour and 15 minutes, which turned out to be a little long--I'd go with closer to an hour next time. — MaryMc Apr 17, 2009

Chicken Oporto

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mia #3  

This was REALLY good!! The port and the mushrooms gave the sauce a lovely flavor. My only complaint (and it's minor!) is that the sauce was a little bit thin--I might cut back a bit on the cream next time, or else cook the sauce a little longer... — MaryMc Apr 15, 2009

Pork Medallions With Chanterelles

Posted by Chef #570804 Halifax Liz  

The sauce was really tasty! I may have overcooked the pork, because it was tough. Next time I think I'd try using thinner pork medallions--they might be easier to sauté and get them right. — MaryMc Apr 12, 2009

French Onion Soup: the Cook's Illustrated Way

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Scoutie  

This is really good soup! The method for caramelizing the onions is brilliant. Be warned: your house will smell like onions for days--but I don't think that's a bad thing! The asiago cheese is a nice touch, too--it blends well and adds more... — MaryMc Apr 7, 2009

Braised Pork With Cumin (Rojões)

Posted by Mia #3  

We liked this one. It had lots of flavor but wasn't too spicy. I wasn't wild about the texture--the meat was a little mealy--but I think I might have marinaded it too long. I'd try marinading it all day but not overnight next time to see if... — MaryMc Apr 3, 2009

Beef Braised in Red Wine

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Scoutie  

DH says I don't make beef roasts often enough, but I usually find them kind of...boring. Not this one! The meat (I used a brisket) was falling-apart tender, and the sauce had a wonderful flavor. I asked DH to rate it on a 1-5 scale and he said... — MaryMc Mar 31, 2009

Butter Cream Icing (Buttercream Frosting)

Posted by Marg (CaymanDesigns)  

This is just a really good, basic, fluffy buttercream frosting. A half-recipe was perfect to frost Apple Butter Spice Cake baked in a single 9-inch square cake pan. — MaryMc Mar 26, 2009

Apple Butter Spice Cake

Posted by Chef #570804 Halifax Liz  

This is a great cake! The molasses gives is a deep, toasty flavor. I baked it in a 9-inch square glass baking pan. The baking time isn't listed, so I baked it for 40 - 45 minutes. I frosted it with a half-recipe of Butter Cream Icing (Buttercream Frosting)--perfect... — MaryMc Mar 26, 2009

Madras Chicken

Posted by Chef #570804 Halifax Liz  

This was really good, and soooo easy! I cooked it a little longer than ten minutes--maybe 13-14--so the liquid was reduced a little more. This one is a keeper for busy weeknight dinners. — MaryMc Mar 26, 2009

Chicken in Riesling (Coq Au Vin Blanc)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chandra M  

Good stuff!! I did make a couple of changes--I browned the chicken in a little bit of bacon grease instead of oil and butter, and I added 1/2 tsp. of poultry seasoning to the sauce when I added the wine. DH loved it. It's definitely a keeper! — MaryMc Feb 1, 2009

Creamy Horseradish Potato Salad

Posted by Juenessa  

This is a great potato salad. I was looking for one with a little more kick than the usual, but DH was suspicious--he likes his potato salad in the classic style. We both LOVED this one! — MaryMc Jul 12, 2008

Blazing Monster Eyes

Posted by *Alia*  

These were pretty tasty! They would have looked more like eyeballs if I'd used bigger olives--I had to slit these to fit the pepperoni in there (I used Oberto Cocktail Pepperoni sticks, the skinniest I could find). Next time I'll look for really... — MaryMc Oct 29, 2007

Carrot Salad
