Pear Pie

Posted by *Pixie*  

I doubled this but otherwise made exactly as directed and was happy with the end result. I did run into a little trouble with the recipe though... The mixture to pour over the fruit was so thick my mixer wouldn't stir it - not sure if it's... — jess21 Oct 14, 2009

Crock Pot Rustic Lamb Stew

Posted by Mirj  

Made this almost as directed - the only real change I made was using lamb stock (given to me by a friend) instead of water and it was fantastic! A little expensive to put into the regular rotation but if I happen to get some more lamb stock I'll... — jess21 Sep 22, 2009

Copycat Californian Rollwich

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Kree  

I roasted a turkey breast and mashed up a couple of avocados so this would be a quick and easy lunch this week, and it was! I left out the mayo as the avocado was enough of a spread for my taste, and used lime juice because that's what I had. It... — jess21 Mar 31, 2009

Turkey and Cranberry Ravioli

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Recipe Baroness  

This was an adventure... I made this using leftover cooked turkey and homemade pasta. Have to say, I will probably never try making homemade ravioli again, haha, but that's more to do with the pasta side of things. The filling was good though. A... — jess21 Dec 30, 2008

Turkey Shepherd's Pie With Two-Potato Topping (Or Chicken)

Posted by NcMysteryShopper  

Just finished dinner - yum! I didn't make quite as directed; there weren't enough mashed potatos left, so I made up the difference by mashing the leftover parsnip casserole (#152495) and I didn't have any orange juice or chives. Great, easy recipe! — jess21 Dec 30, 2008

Stove Top Macaroni and Cheese

Posted by HeatherDiane  

As if Alton Brown wasn't my hero already! This is my new favorite mac & cheese recipe. Goes together quickly and easily (much faster than my old white sauce-based recipe). I had quite a bit of leftover ham and some green beans that needed to be... — jess21 Oct 14, 2008

Pizza Dough for Thin Crust Pizza

Posted by UnknownChef86  

Great - easy and tasty. I took some other reviewers advice and added some seasoning to the flour for more flavour. I think I might not pre-bake it for the full 10 minutes next time though. I like it crisp, but I went too far and it was more like... — jess21 Oct 4, 2008

Garlic Green Beans

Posted by Lavender Lynn  

The only way I cook green beans (or most other green veggies!). I find salting the water generously helps them keep their green color. Also, I'll usually boil them way early, before all the other dinner time stuff starts happening. I just make... — jess21 Sep 8, 2008

Brown-Sugared Strawberries with Creme Anglaise

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Sharlene~W  

this wouldn't thicken for the longest time, and when it finally did it lumped. i followed the directions to the letter so i'm not sure if this was my mistake of a problem with the recipe. i've only ever used egg yolks in creme anglaise before (not... — jess21 Aug 16, 2008

Asparagus With Eggs and Parmesan Cheese

Posted by dividend  

My oven runs a bit low so I had a hard time getting my eggs to set. I left them in for 5 more minutes but still had to turn the broiler on to finish them. The extra cooking didn't seem to hurt though, and it was fast and easy! — jess21 Jul 3, 2008

Prawns With Gorgonzola Cheese

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Oolala  

If you like gorgonzola, which I do, this is delicious and simple. I had it over buttered brown rice as suggested, and didn't change a thing. I may have been particularly hungry, but I would call this recipe one generous serving, rather than two. — jess21 Apr 3, 2008

Amazing Chicken

Posted by KelBel  

I should have paid more attention to the ingredients - I used plain laughing cow and didn't add any seasoning to compensate. Also, I just picked up 2 slices of bacon from the butcher, but the extra thick slices really just added a lot of grease. I... — jess21 Apr 2, 2008

Scrum-Diddly-Umptious Vegan Brownies

Posted by chiclet  

Wow! I needed a lactose-free recipe for a friend, and at first I was pretty sceptical but these are fantastic! Easy to make, and good with banana icing (#111194). Had to distribute the recipe around my office! — jess21 Feb 21, 2008
