Crustless Ham Quiche

Posted by Chris from Kansas  

The recipe works as written, but for me and my family's taste, it was too rich (can't believe I am saying that). I think I prefer a lighter, eggier texture and maybe not as much cheese. Always appreciate a new recipe to try, so thanks. — ratherbeswimmin' Nov 14, 2009

Beefy Barbecue Macaroni

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Charmie777  

My kids picked this one and they thought it was great. Cheese and BBQ sauce does it for them. Very easy skillet supper. Thanks C7 — ratherbeswimmin' Nov 14, 2009

Cherry Cider

Posted by Chris from Kansas  

I didn't pay close attention to the recipe and added everything in the pot all at once. Didn't seem to matter. Fam and I liked it. Was slightly tart, good and spicy; perfect for a cool fall evening. Thanks. — ratherbeswimmin' Nov 14, 2009

Ginger-Chicken Noodle Soup (Crock Pot)

Posted by Engrossed  

Made as directed, this had bold Asian flavor, most prominent was the ginger. I used frozen/thawed sugar snap peas. Enjoyed this so much and look forward to making it again. Thanks — ratherbeswimmin' Nov 12, 2009

Asian Glazed Salmon

Posted by Redsie  

We love salmon and this was very easy. Great Asian-flavored glaze. I lined my baking pan with foil and roasted in oven, then finished under broiler. Otherwise, I would have had a big mess to clean up. Thanks Redsie. — ratherbeswimmin' Nov 3, 2009

Oven Steak Fries

Posted by Kirste  

Served as a side for a steak dinner. The potatoes cooked perfectly--slightly crusty on the outside, tender on the inside. We did not "love" the seasoning rub. I think we prefer just plain seasoning salt and pepper. But, you never know until you... — ratherbeswimmin' Nov 2, 2009

Skillet Sirloin

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

First of all, we are hard-core steak has to be grilled kind of folks. But, my step-daughter wanted to try pan cooked steak (as a way of impressing her boyfriend) and this recipe looked good. We used rib-eye steaks, as I have never had sirloin come... — ratherbeswimmin' Nov 2, 2009

Halloween Black Brew

Posted by Porfavorcorona  

A cool looking "black" drink. However, tasted more like grape koolaid to us. Maybe too many competing fruit flavors. I would have liked more cranberry flavor. Glad I tried it, though, as it definitely had the creepy look. Thanks. — ratherbeswimmin' Nov 1, 2009

Crock Pot Coq Au Vin

Posted by mikekey  

This took a fair amount of prep work before getting everything into the crock pot. The end result was something special and worth the extra effort. Moist chicken, incredible flavor, rustic look but something I would serve guests. Thanks for... — ratherbeswimmin' Oct 23, 2009

Bob's White Chili

Posted by Lennie  

Family and I enjoyed this very much. To serve, I put broken tortilla chips in the bowl, added the chili and topped with shredded MJ cheese. Crazy delicious. Thanks for the post. — ratherbeswimmin' Oct 23, 2009

Anson County Chicken Stew (Crock Pot)

Beautiful combination of flavors that had me feeling so cozy and warm. I used roasted chicken thighs and homemade chicken stock. Perfectly seasoned. Enjoyed with a big chunk of warm, crusty bread. Thanks for sharing this special recipe. — ratherbeswimmin' Oct 4, 2009

Carne Guisada (Mexican Beef Stew)

Posted by EdsGirlAngie  

This one WOWED us. Has a nice full-bodied, robust flavor and the most tender texture. Wrapped the beef and sauce up in warmed flour tortillas, burrito-style. Super delicious. Thanks--can't wait to make this one again. — ratherbeswimmin' Oct 4, 2009

Slow Cook Down Home Pork Chops and Gravy

Posted by buttercup0009  

My family enjoyed this simple, homey, very comforting meal. My chops were more like 1/2 inch thick and fell apart as I was getting them out of the crockpot. I think thicker chops would hold together better. The gravy was yummy over rice. Thanks... — ratherbeswimmin' Oct 4, 2009

Cooked Chicken for Recipes - Barefoot Contessa Style

Posted by Lvs2Cook  

Excellent method for cooking chicken to use in casseroles, soups, salads, etc. No more boring, poached chicken for me. The meat is much more tender and juicy when cooked this way. I have used bone in/skin on and boneless/skinless breasts and... — ratherbeswimmin' Oct 4, 2009

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

Posted by ravensmith  

This was a nice, hearty, filling soup. Based on other reviews, I cooked the pasta and added at the very last. Makes a lot, so I will freeze leftovers and use later. Thanks — ratherbeswimmin' Sep 17, 2009

Vegetable-Beef Barley Soup (Crock Pot)

Posted by PaulaG  

This was very easy to make, but my family gave it a ho-hum response. I think it would benefit from additional seasoning. Maybe bay leaf, or more herbs? I used gumbo blend frozen vegetables, but would probably go with regular soup blend frozen... — ratherbeswimmin' Sep 17, 2009

Low Stress Baked Eggs

Posted by Debber  

A very easy breakfast dish and a different preparation for me. I made in ramekins with 2 eggs each, and pre-cooked bacon. The egg texture was sort of coddled and tasted quite rich. My husband and I liked this; the kids weren't too sure.... — ratherbeswimmin' Jul 26, 2009

Tons of Blueberry Coffee Cake

Posted by katie in the UP  

My dad keeps me stocked with fresh blueberries and this was a nice way to use them. The crumb topping is divine. The cake texture was somewhat dense, but very moist and full of berries. Thanks for a great recipe. — ratherbeswimmin' Jul 26, 2009
