Olive Garden Copycat Zuppa Toscana

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Cycle Michael  

I don't think I will be needing to go to Olive Garden any time soon! This is fantastic! I used mild ground italian sausage fried/cooked on the stove with the onions. No 'real' garlic on hand, so I used 1/2 tsp. garlic powder in place of it. Also,... — CookWannaBe Jan 27, 2008

Fettuccine Alfredo

Posted by Hey Jude  

Very good flavor! I followed the recipe exactly, however only ended up with maybe one very strong flavored serving. So....I added 1 1/4 cup more half and half which made 4 servings. The only other thing that I added for our own family's... — CookWannaBe Jan 3, 2006

Russian Tea Cakes

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by KitchenCraftsnMore  

In order to make the cookies easier to shape into balls, I used my Pampered Chef cookie dough scoop (pressing the dough in tightly, and using the thumb spring to release the dough onto the cookie sheet) and left them flat on the bottom. When they... — CookWannaBe Jan 3, 2006

7 Layer Taco Dip

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by *~Christine~*  

Just made this for a New Year's Eve 'get-together'. Needless to say, there wasn't any left to bring home! The only changes I made to the recipe was using two cans of refried beans (one jalepeno and the other salsa flavored) mixed with 3/4 cup of... — CookWannaBe Jan 1, 2006

Cheesy Crock Pot Potatoes

Posted by MasonsMomma  

May I suggest putting the potatoes into the microwave until semi-done before adding other ingredients. I even do this with frozen hash browns when I make 'funeral potatoes' to speed up the cooking time. Thanks for posting. I have not tried... — CookWannaBe Jan 1, 2006

Candied Yam Apple Pecan Bake

Posted by AZRoxy63  

These yams were exceptionally tasty. The only thing I did different, was leave out the nuts for some picky eaters. I think next time, though, I will put them in part of it just for me! It was a welcome additional to our traditional Thanksgiving... — CookWannaBe Nov 23, 2005

Fantasy Fudge

(42 people found this helpful) Posted by Karen From Colorado  

I made this recipe today and it was very easy to make. I made it with Milk Chocolate Chips this time, but I think I will stick with Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips in the future because I like a more rich and deep chocolaty flavor. I did note, that... — CookWannaBe Oct 18, 2005

Quick and Easy Crock Pot Beef Tips

I only made minor adjustments to accomodate the ingredients I had on hand. I used sirloin steak about 3/4 -1" thick as the meat, using flour and salt and pepper as the coating, in 2 tbsp. of Crisco oil over med. high heat in a skillet. In the... — CookWannaBe Oct 11, 2005

Just Like Lambert's "throwed" Rolls - Copycat

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by KC_Cooker  

Wow, I have never made rolls from scratch before! This was great and they turned out sooo beautiful. This is how I altered this recipe to fit my ingredients: I didn't have a package of yeast, so I used 2 and 1/4 teaspoons of yeast for the... — CookWannaBe Oct 4, 2005

Parmesan Plus Chicken

Posted by running rachel  

I will have to look for the Parm Plus in my local grocery store. I have always used something called 'Garlic Bread Sprinkle' by McCormick Spices. It is a blend of Romano Cheese and Garlic Flavoring. I guess if you wanted the actually parmesan... — CookWannaBe Sep 29, 2005

Quaker Oats Meatloaf

Posted by chia  

My recipe calls for 1/2 cup milk and bread crumbs; I have used Ro-tel tomatoes in place of the liquid for flavor - oh my what a difference. I think I'll try salsa next time and see what I come up with. I haven't seen this recipe in a long time,... — CookWannaBe Sep 4, 2005

Deep Fried Oreos

Posted by Scott R.  

We had these while on vacation in Aruba! They are great! They were served around a scoop of ice cream with Oreo cookie crumbs and a marachino cherry as a topping on the ice cream to make it look pretty. There were 4 on the plate - trust me 4 is... — CookWannaBe Aug 20, 2005

Wow, am I glad I found this recipe! We just got back from vacationing in Aruba, and we found that we love pastechis. I pretty sure that the ones that we had were minus anything sweet, because I remember thinking that they would taste really good... — CookWannaBe Aug 20, 2005

"magic" Cookie Bars

Posted by Blue_feb  

This sounds wonderful! I have made something similar to this, using graham cracker crumbs and adding coconut and nuts (walnut or pecans) to the topping, also. YUM! Might have to go and make some right now! — CookWannaBe Aug 20, 2005

Baked Pork Chops and Apples

(7 people found this helpful) Posted by ladypit  

Very, very good! Finally a meal where there were no leftovers; considering I have two picky eaters, THAT is a miracle. I only made a few changes for us. I used the four pork chops (Omaha Steaks brand), but only two apples and cut the sugar and... — CookWannaBe Jul 18, 2005
