Shortbread

Posted by MizzNezz  

Several years ago shortly after being introduced to RecipeZaar I made a decision which I have followed without regret ever since. The decision: when faced with the dilema of choosing from similar, and highly recommended recipes, if given the... — Big Bill in Big D Mar 14, 2009

Panda Express Orange Chicken

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by KatieMom84  

Have never eaten Panda Express' Orange Chicken so I can't compare the two, but this was darn good eatin'. Relatively fast and easy, but long on taste. However, the next time I make it I will reverse steps 1 and 2 in the directions: — Big Bill in Big D Feb 5, 2009

Old Bay Seasoning #2

Posted by DiB's  

I have not used this knock-off in my cooking but I plan to make lots of it to use as Christmas gifts. A lot of posts are concerned with the ground bay leaves. Chefs started using ground bay leafs in their receipes to make certain that no whole... — Big Bill in Big D Dec 15, 2007

Peanut Brittle

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Kannwilson  

This is a delicious recipe — as far as it goes. About 50 years ago I got it from my mother, who had gotten it from her mother, but when I made the recipe it didn't turn out as good as my mother's. When I told her this, she immediately asked how I... — Big Bill in Big D Dec 12, 2007

Vegetable Beef Soup

Posted by Dancer^  

Made this soup for my wife's and my lunch today. It was quick, easy, tasteful, and economical. Twenty minutes was more than sufficient time to get it to the simmering state, primarily because there are so few ingredients to measure and add. My... — Big Bill in Big D Nov 19, 2007

Tilapia al Ajillo (garlic tilapia)

(7 people found this helpful) Posted by canarygirl  

You will find very few recipes that matches this one for ease of preparation, economy of time and money and the outstanding results. Up until a few weeks ago I had only cooked fish about 3-4 times in my 83 years, but I have already used this... — Big Bill in Big D Nov 7, 2007

Pasta E Fagioli (Italian soup) with Italian Sausage

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by PanNan  

Have never been much of one to eat soup, but in my old age I have developed quite a taste for it. This one is, far and away, one of the best I have found. I was rather leary of using the 1-2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes so I used just a bit less... — Big Bill in Big D Nov 3, 2007

Baby's Jalapeño Cheese Cornbread

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Vicki in CT  

This is an excellent recipe for a cornbread that is well-suited for any type of meal — Tex-Mex, southwestern, southern, etc. I used the recipe intact, with one exception. Like my Mama and Grandma before me I always use lard to make my... — Big Bill in Big D Oct 21, 2007

Kittencal's Best Deviled Eggs

(30 people found this helpful) Posted by KITTENCAL  

This is by far the best recipe I have ever used. I would make an addition to reviewer Pierre Dance's suggestion regarding using a baggie to pipe the yolk mixture in the whites. No matter how you cut the egg whites the side with the yolk is always... — Big Bill in Big D Oct 17, 2007

Hot German Potato Salad

Posted by Lali  

I can't truthfully say this is the best German Potato Salad (GPS) I have ever had, for this is so unlike traditional GPS it is almost like comparing apples and oranges. No matter what category you wish to place it I believe it is better than any... — Big Bill in Big D Sep 4, 2007

Pasta E Fagioli - Texas Style

Posted by TxBluebonnet  

As I get older I find that I am enjoying more and more meals consisting of a good, thick and hearty soup. Pasta E Fagioli has been a new favorite, and now Pasta E Fagioli Texas Style has found its place in the rotation schedule. The Wal*Mart... — Big Bill in Big D Aug 29, 2007

My Family's Favorite Sloppy Joes, or Pizza Joes

Posted by Hey Jude  

We have been enjoying this recipe in my extended family for about sixty years! However, our recipe did not call for barbecue sauce — I'll give that a try next time. Also, our recipe calls for a pinch of ground cloves and this gives a nice little... — Big Bill in Big D Aug 13, 2007

Sweet and Sour Pork

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by BarbaraK  

A bit too much vinegar for my taste but otherwise, very nice. Relatively easy to prepare without having to round up a lot of exotic ingredients. In my opinion the carrots did not add anything except a little color. I think they could be omitted.... — Big Bill in Big D Jul 13, 2007

Emeril Lagasse's Essence

I have just completed making this Essence for my SIL, who loves to cook outdoors. Haven't tried it myself, but am giving it five stars because of what other have said about it. I knew nothing about how (or when) to use this seasoning, but decided... — Big Bill in Big D Jun 26, 2007

Awesome Egg Rolls

I was very pleasantly surprised with the ease of making these egg rolls — and the excellent taste that resulted. This was my maiden voyage in this area of endeavor and I had a head full of dreadful consequences — none of which materialized. I... — Big Bill in Big D Jun 25, 2007

Mean Chef's Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

Very few dishes can even approach this for presentation — it is beautiful and indicative of someone willing to take the time to make something which tastes great to look that way, also. And as for the taste — it is right up there with the best... — Big Bill in Big D Jun 23, 2007

Easy Fresh Peach Cobbler

Just change the name of the recipe to "Delicious Easy Peach Cobbler," and nothing more need be said! Except — I feel sorry for all of you who are unable to purchase Blue Belle Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream from the little creamery in Brennan, Texas.... — Big Bill in Big D Jun 21, 2007

Sweet, Creamy Coleslaw

Posted by Marg (CaymanDesigns)  

Nothing could be any easier to prepare nor taste any better. I used half of a bag of Cole Slaw Mix and halved the dressing ingredients and it worked out beautifully. Can't compare it to "the way Big Mama used to make it," because I don't remember... — Big Bill in Big D Jun 11, 2007

Carrot Salad

Posted by Fluffy  

I'm not a carrot buff — ordinarily. But this is just about my all-time-favorite salad. I have used this exact recipe for years, but whoever gave it to me had jazzed up the title a big leap by calling it "Copper Pennies," which if very appropriate... — Big Bill in Big D May 20, 2007

Hot Pocket and Fried Pie Dough

(7 people found this helpful) Posted by ~SwoR~  

Thanks for a pastry that comes close to "like Mama used to make." It works well for all sorts of pies — fruit, meat, combinations — but for me those made with dried apricots are hard to beat. I cut down of some of the time-consuming tasks by... — Big Bill in Big D May 5, 2007
