Swedish Meatballs

Posted by BoxO'Wine  

Kittencal does it again! Great recipe. i didn't refrigerate the meatballs and they were ok but misshapen. I used low fat hamburger and no pork, didn't leave enough oil in pan so had to add the water in sooner. Thickened up great! Even with the... — Elainia Nov 2, 2009

French Toast With Fresh Strawberry Syrup

Posted by StrikingEyes00  

I always do this...think I know better than a recipe, when in fact I don't. I skipped the brown sugar in the syrup and though it was still tasty, it was very lightly sweetened and quite watery. So learn from me and don't skip it! I added it and it... — Elainia Aug 21, 2009

Quick Spanish Rice

Posted by Sharlene~W  

Eating while I write! This is fabulous. I made a couple of mistakes but it still turned out good. I browned a pound of ground beef in the pan first then added all the ingredients. Accidentally added 2 tbsp chili powder instead of tsp but I really... — Elainia Aug 19, 2009

Perfect Pasta With No Watching and No Sweating

Posted by Margaret3  

Just did this with Wegmans brand rotini's. It cooked up great, but it has a pasty texture when you chew it. Maybe it was just the pasta i used. I am planning on trying it with a brand name linguini next and will report. — Elainia Aug 9, 2009

Pearl's Sesame Noodles

Posted by Lennie  

WOW, what a great recipe! Though, for those who are wusses when it comes to spicy hot you may want to cut back by half. I am and I will next time. But darn, these are just about the best noodles I have ever had! I doubled the tahini based on... — Elainia Aug 9, 2009

Grilled Chicken Under a Brick

Posted by Jan in Lanark  

My rating is due to the difficulty I had with cutting the chicken, not the actual recipe. This could possibly be due to my total and complete incompetency when cutting the chicken, but when I removed the breastbone as described I ended up with... — Elainia Jul 28, 2009

Greek Pasta Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Carol :)  

Very easy and tasty. I would probably leave out the garbanzos next time even though I usually like them -to let the feta shine through with the veggies. I also doubled the dressing and poured half on, saved the other half for tomorrow. Overall a... — Elainia Jul 26, 2009

Nyc Corned Beef and Cabbage

Posted by Len  

I am laughing so hard at the recipe. You are a comedian! The potatoes alone are worth their weight in gold, the best potatoes I have ever had. Of course the corned beef was amazing too. Thank you for sharing your grandmothers recipe! — Elainia Mar 17, 2009

Crock Pot Rice Pudding

Posted by Lennie  

I am giving it 3 stars for ease of preparation, but maybe I am just partial to the old fashioned style of rice pudding. This was salty for our taste and not very creamy. It also could have been the slow cooker I used, one of the "smart pots" that... — Elainia Mar 4, 2009

Paula Deen Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by GiddyUpGo  

This came out amazing!!!! I made three changes, but nothing major. I used 3 beaten eggs and low fat sour cream and 1% milk. I mixed up the cheese mix in a sauce pan, cooked the macoroni and then dumped everything into a ziplock bag and stuck it in... — Elainia Jan 20, 2009

Crostini With Sun-Dried Tomato Jam

Posted by cookiedog  

I made this for Christmas eve and it was fabulous! I red the recipe wrong and acidentally added 1/4 cup of red wine not vinegar and then added the vinegar when I realized what I had done, it was still outstanding. Everyone loved this one! I would... — Elainia Dec 28, 2008

Ham and Egg Biscuit Pizza

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by evelyn/athens  

I made these for Christmas morning and they were a huge hit with everyone. I agree with the other reviewer, not enough room for all the chopped stuff or cheese, I ended up making a second batch of dough and am glad I did but still didn't use all... — Elainia Dec 28, 2008

3 Onion, Mushroom and Garlic Soup

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ~Rita~  

This was fabulous. Though I followed the recipe (for the most part the only changes i made were to use sweet onions and to caramelize the onions prior to adding the leeks and spices and I skipped the parsley out of laziness!) I put cheese on top-... — Elainia Nov 9, 2008

Broiled Tilapia With Thai Coconut- Curry Sauce

Posted by GaylaJ  

I wish I could give this ten stars! As I began cooking my boyfriend said "I don't like coconut milk" but it was too late, not another thing in the house to eat. So we cooked it up and he LOVED it, we wanted to lick our plates clean. This reminds... — Elainia Oct 22, 2008

"from the Field" Balsamic Vinaigrette

Posted by gpotts5626  

This was a fabulous dressing. I didn't have any fresh dill in the garden, so I skipped it and it was still wonderful! I was worried the sage would be overpowering but it was perfect and herby not cloyingly sagey. I esp love this dressing because... — Elainia Oct 11, 2008

Made this yesterday and it was a big hit. I cut the oil to 3/4ths and left the rest of the recipe the same, included the optional parmesan cheese. Let sit in the fridge for about 6 hours before using it. All I can say is WOW! Once again,... — Elainia Jul 21, 2008

Shrimp and Pasta With Creole Cream Sauce

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

Oh this was fabulous. Like cajun alfredo. Had to make one minor adjustment because I didn't have hot sauce (where did it go? It was there yesterday!!) and instead added a little creole seasoning right to the cream sauce. Mmmmmm!! Delish! Thank you — Elainia Jul 19, 2008
