Harvest Pumpkin Apple Bread

Posted by Kree  

Oh my goodness! This bread is phenomenal!!! It made the house smell delicious and it was barely out of the oven before the family finished up the first loaf. I love that it's so easy too, a definite keeper. Thanks Kree! — The Happy Housewife Oct 22, 2009

Buffalo Chicken Soup

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Nonnie4Two  

I stayed true to the recipe but it was a little spicy so I'll cut out the cayenne next time. It was more like a dip so I'll also double the chicken broth. The flavor was out this world though and this recipe is going into the family cookbook! — The Happy Housewife Oct 22, 2009

Easy Chicken Chow Mein

Posted by Lisa1  

This recipe is so good I couldn't finish eating it without saying, "Thank you!" Takeout can get pricey for a family of 5 but who needs it when you have this recipe?! The only thing I'll do different next time is to double the sauce. Excellent!!! — The Happy Housewife Oct 8, 2009

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte (Copycat)

Posted by Starfire (aka Wendy)  

I wanted to love this but after trying it twice I found it just ok. The 1st time I followed the exact recipe and it had a weird taste. I had added a little Sweet & Low (not sweet enough for me) so I thought maybe that was it. The 2nd time I... — The Happy Housewife Oct 7, 2009

Spinach Salad with Honey Bacon Dressing

Posted by Hey Jude  

This had GREAT flavor but the dressing was VERY soupy. If I can make it the consistency of regular salad dressing I would rate this 5 stars! — The Happy Housewife Sep 20, 2009

Quick and Easy Doughnuts

Posted by AuntWoofieWoof  

Very good! Came out a little doughy in the middle even though the outside was a dark brown. I took another reviewer's suggestion and cut biscuits into fourths (half was too big). I let them cool after frying then tossed into a brown paper bag... — The Happy Housewife Sep 11, 2009

Our family loves Thai so I decided to try this recipe and I'm so glad I did because it's awesome! It had a little kick but not an uncomfortable one. Everyone has already been back for seconds! I made the exact recipe except at the end I added... — The Happy Housewife Sep 9, 2009

Zesty, Gooey Chicken Breast (Low Fat, Lite? You Guess)

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Bergy  

This recipe was very good but I wouldn't say it was great. My three girls loved it but I felt it was just bbq baked chicken. That's not a bad thing but why mix up the ingredients if you can just use bottled? — The Happy Housewife Sep 6, 2009

Oh my goodness! This is one seriously delicious cake! My signature dessert, the one everyone requests, is an old family recipe for tres leches. I think this cake might just replace it. I used an angel food cake pan, wouldn't recommend doing... — The Happy Housewife Aug 24, 2009

Cherry Sauce

I love easy AND delicious recipes and this one falls into that catogory. It was excellent on ice cream and cheescake, just okay on the pound cake. I've already added it to the family cookbook, thanks Karen! — The Happy Housewife Aug 23, 2009

Olive Garden Pasta E Fagioli Soup in a Crock Pot (Copycat)

Posted by ravensmith  

With all the rave reviews I was so excited to try this out but sadly came away disappointed. First, it needed salt. Secondly, the veggies were still not cooked and the pasta didn't seem right. Maybe if this was made on the stovetop it would've... — The Happy Housewife Jun 1, 2009

Mexican Ceviche

Anyone who rated this less than 5 stars must have done something wrong. You have to use a FIRM fish, I used Chilean sea bass and patted it dry with a paper towel. I marinated it in a glass pyrex loaf dish, covered it with plastic wrap and set it... — The Happy Housewife Jan 11, 2009

Cheesecake-covered Strawberries

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by JamesDean'sGirl  

This was a yummy treat! I felt the sour cream overpowered the cream cheese just a bit so on the second batch I only used 1/4 cup and it came out perfect! This was so much easier and less time consuming than a traditional cheesecake and my little... — The Happy Housewife Aug 20, 2006
