Chocolate Fondue

Posted by ms_bold  

DELICIOUS! EASY! CHEAP! I've used chocolate meant for fondue melting, and it always got too hot and clumped or burned. This recipe is the PERFECT chocolate fondue. YUM. — LoydaP Jan 1, 2009

Cheese Fondue

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by KITTENCAL  

Excellent recipe! I have never been successful at keeping the cheese from clumping- until now! It was an adventure to find Kirsch, even in a big city like Chicago but the results were wonderful. I cooked everything on the stovetop. Next time, I'll... — LoydaP Jan 1, 2009

Crab Cheese Fondue

Posted by NcMysteryShopper  

PHENOMENAL! Made this last night for New Year Eve fondue. I used block cheddar cheese, omitted the parsley (taste preference) and melted everything on the stove before serving. It remind my DH and I of a VERY expensive dinner we had in San... — LoydaP Jan 1, 2009

Lemon Shortbread Cookies

Posted by Debster  

3/24/06 I'm not sure what I did wrong. The texture was too gummy and doughy, as opposed to flaky or crumbly which I normally think shortbread should be. Also, even though I added extra lemon juice, the flavor was very muted and didn't really come... — LoydaP Dec 7, 2008

The Only Chocolate Cake Recipe You'll Ever Need! (Devil's Food)

Posted by Karen=^..^=  

Very nice cake, not especially chocolatey, so next time I'm going to throw in some semi-sweet chocolate chips for an extra bit of chocolate. While the frosting had a pleasant flavor, it was way too greasy for my taste. Definitely tastes best cold!... — LoydaP Dec 1, 2008

Fried Rice

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Claudia Dawn  

There are a ton of fried rice recipes on the site and this is BAR NONE is the closest to authentic Chinese restaurant fried rice. Next time I'll add bean sprouts, as is traditional in Chicago's restaurants. Delicious! — LoydaP Aug 6, 2008

Oven Fried Chicken

Posted by Parrot Head Mama  

I used drumsticks. Chiken only crisped where it was in direct contact with the pan, so there were still many areas that were just... "soggy". Taste was bland... I think a pinch is not enough, maybe 2 or three is better. — LoydaP Jul 27, 2008

Jamaican Beef Patties

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Rob  

This is an awesome recipe. I've made it three times now. Be warned it can be very labor intensive, but it's really worth it. The first time, I think it took me about 3-4 hours. The last time I got down to 2 hours. The changes I made: 1. The meat... — LoydaP Dec 22, 2007

Bananas Foster

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by TOOLBELT DIVA  

My family and I really enjoyed this recipe. For beginners, it needs to be clarified that the sugar should be liquified not merely dissolved in the butter (a tiny bit of water can help the process along). Also, this makes plenty of sauce and you... — LoydaP Mar 28, 2007

Crepes

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

These are the BEST and EASIEST crepes to make. They're very easy to work with and have a delicious flavor. DH actually had the last one just by itself. I made them with some butter instead, just threw liquids into blender until butter was well... — LoydaP Mar 28, 2007

Stuffed Mushrooms

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by MaeEast  

The filling had a very good taste, but I had some bad luck preparing it. The mushrooms and bacon smelled heavenly, then I added the cheese and it started to melt. Then I added the breadcrumbs and it turned into one solid mass. The breadcrumbs... — LoydaP Apr 14, 2006

Polenta and mushrooms

Posted by Melly Mel  

Excellent recipe! I love polenta, and DH never had polenta he liked, yet he ate every bite! I let the polenta cool and then cut into triangles. I fried them in a little olive oil until they had a nice golden crust. Not only a tasty recipe, but... — LoydaP Mar 30, 2006

Oh. My. God. This was so incredibly scrumptious! I absolutely loved it. The flavors were intricate and tangy without being overpowering. I added extra capers and served with jasmine rice. This has definitely become one of my favorite recipes! — LoydaP Mar 29, 2006

Bourbon Chicken

(7 people found this helpful) Posted by LinMarie  

So easy, so delicious. I don't know if it tastes quite like the mall's bourbon chicken, but it's deliciously sweet and spicy in it's own right. I doubled the sauce as suggested and add a pinch of cornstarch. I used skinless, boneless thighs. The... — LoydaP Mar 29, 2006

Texas Cowboy Cookies in a Jar

I received these cookie mix for christmas one year and have continued using the recipe. I love chocolate chip cookies and these are my favorite! I've also discovered that without the oats and chocolate, these also make great sugar cookies. — LoydaP Mar 29, 2006
