Cinnamon Syrup

Posted by Sallyanne  

(EDIT: While whipping this up this weekend, I didn't realize I forgot to add the butter before I served it...no worries- I couldn't tell the difference and it saved a decent amount of fat and calories. Even better!) For the love of all things... — Houseblend Nov 24, 2009

Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Butter

Posted by abloom69  

Holy moly! This stuff is right on! The few times a year we actually go to Texas Roadhouse, my favorite part is the cinnamon butter and their yeast rolls- but they never really give you enough for your whole table! I made 1.5 times the recipe,... — Houseblend Nov 23, 2009

Cracked Pepper Salad Dressing

Posted by Lainey6605  

Thanks for the great homemade dressing recipe Lainey! DH chose this one and though I love to smother my garden salads with pepper, I was worried this would be too much spice. Nothing to worry about- the dressing is mild and refreshing on simple... — Houseblend Nov 23, 2009

The Realtor's Buttermilk Garlic Salad Dressing

Posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night  

Yum! I just hate bottled dressings so I finally decided to take the leap and make my own and this recipe was great. I admit that the taste was probably a bit different since I used low-fat Hellmann's and skim milk/lemon juice for the buttermilk,... — Houseblend Nov 23, 2009

Beef Stroganoff 53

Posted by Hwin  

Tasty and easy- that sums up this dish! I too added flour to my steak as it browned and still ended up needing to use a little cornstarch with water to thicken the sauce up at the end. The sour cream made it a bit watery for my tastes. A simple... — Houseblend Nov 23, 2009

Christmas Mint Cookies

Posted by Kim1  

I passed a cookie to DH and said, "guess what I have!" and he tasted it then replied, "oh- you got thin mints!". I then told him that I made them and he couldn't believe it! Used Andes Mint chips, melted in just a few minutes, coated two sleeves... — Houseblend Nov 14, 2009

Carol's Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chippies

Posted by Dawn  

I let DH rate this one since I'm not a fan of chocolate chip cookies anyways and he really like them. I used chocolate pudding but found that mine didn't look much like the pictures. The first batch I only pressed down a little and they didn't... — Houseblend Nov 8, 2009

You just made our night Sharlene! I used a recipe for deep dish pizza dough here on Zaar but the mixture of ingredients you suggested were perfect! I really like the addition of the pepperoni...when you heat it before putting it in the pizza it... — Houseblend Nov 8, 2009

Baked Acorn Squash & Brown Sugar

This is how my mother would prepare acorn squash when I was a child, except that we didn't mash it together- so yummy! Now as an adult, I prefer to steam them in the microwave (much faster) then put a little dab of butter inside the well along... — Houseblend Oct 29, 2009

Starbucks Pumpkin Scones

DH gets to rate this one all by himself- 5 STARS! (That's not a rating he gives out often either!). I'm not very good with pastry so after a few minutes of trying to get the butter incorporated, I gave up and mixed it all together. A little... — Houseblend Oct 25, 2009

Reduced-Fat Eggplant (Aubergine) Parmesan

Posted by Sue L  

So good! I've only ever had eggplant battered and fried and wanted to try it prepared a bit healthier. Used a medium eggplant, baked it a bit longer (10 min) and just used reduced-fat mozzarella (all I had). Tasty, not mushy and very flavorful.... — Houseblend Oct 19, 2009
