Très Rapide French Summer Tarragon Chicken

Posted by French Tart  

Editing my review to add 5 wonderful stars (I can't believe I forgot that when I did my review). I can't believe I've left this review until now...you must try this if you're a fan of chicken and tarragon. We've made this at least 4 times since... — Lizzie-Babette Oct 23, 2009

Beef Bourguignon

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Just Call Me Martha  

I made this last Sunday and it was fabulous. Having recently been in Paris, and having a superb bourguignon at a great little bistro in the 6th, I was dying to try this, using a bourguignon spice we bought at the Versailles Sunday market. I used... — Lizzie-Babette Oct 21, 2009

Twice- Baked Potato Casserole

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

Wow! We made this as a side for our Christmas 2008 dinner. I only substituted chives for scallions, and doubled the recipe, adding a bit more milk (I used Hood Fat Free Smart Milk) and light sour cream, based on other reviewer comments. The... — Lizzie-Babette Dec 28, 2008

Marinated Burgers

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by VA  

We tried this one based on reviews. It just didn't work out for our tastes. The marinade seemed to separate, and the burgers fell apart. I'm not sure if it was because of the vinegar or what, but there was a tang to the burger crumbles that... — Lizzie-Babette Feb 21, 2007

Green Chili Cheese Ball

Posted by Gingerbear  

Sorry, Secret, but this was actually blander than I thought it would be. It needed something like ancho powder or hot sauce or something to liven it up a bit. With the amount of cheese to spices, it just wasn't as assertive as we'd hoped. — Lizzie-Babette May 5, 2006

The Perfect Marinade for Grilled Steak

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by KITTENCAL  

Well, based on all the rave reviews, we did a Kittencal-only dinner tonight. Unfortunately, I must disagree with this being the "perfect" steak preparation. Turning it four times kept any true searing from occurring, so the steak ended up being... — Lizzie-Babette Oct 7, 2005

The Most Amazing Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Loaf Bread

Posted by KITTENCAL  

Oh my. We had high hopes for this, based on the former reviews, but there were just too many tastes going on. Lemon, cloves (waaay too much), pumpkin, and chocolate just didn't end up jelling at all. The top burned while the batter remained... — Lizzie-Babette Oct 7, 2005

Breaded Lemon-Garlic Chicken Breasts

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by KITTENCAL  

This just didn't work for us or prove up to expectations. I followed the recipe exactly, and the chicken was dry by the time it was cooked fully through. It was incredibly salty, and just didn't live up to the "10,000 stars" that another... — Lizzie-Babette Oct 7, 2005

Blueberry-Blue Cheese Dip

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Oolala  

If you like blue cheese and blueberries, you MUST try this. It was a snap to make, and incredibly delicious on Carr's whole wheat crackers or on a celery stick. I made this exactly as directed, but I toasted the walnuts instead of having them... — Lizzie-Babette Aug 15, 2005

Chicken Piccata

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Kirstin in the Couv  

This was absolutely wonderful! I made this exactly as directed except for two things: I sliced the chicken breasts in half and lightly pounded them, and I coarsely chopped the capers (from experience, so that they don't roll off the chicken).... — Lizzie-Babette Aug 14, 2005

Smokey Grilled Corn on the Cob With Cajun Butter

Posted by KITTENCAL  

Mezza-mezza for our tastes. The corn wasn't nearly done enough, and it was messy to put butter on before grilling. I would recommend soaking the corn, grilling, then using the butter mixture at the table instead. I just don't think I'd make it... — Lizzie-Babette Jul 28, 2005

Sunflower Seed Coleslaw

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ~kdp  

Fabulous coleslaw, and this is from someone who does NOT like coleslaw. My dh and friends do, so I was making this for a potluck, I was stunned at how good it was, and how fresh-tasting it was, too. I substituted lowfat sour cream and mayo, but... — Lizzie-Babette Jul 27, 2005

Special Occasion Chicken

Posted by LonghornMama  

As Trisha said, this was very mild in flavor, and, well, a bit bland. We were expecting something a little different. I made this exactly as directed, but i think it would have benefitted with a bit more zing - maybe if some cayenne or salsa... — Lizzie-Babette Jul 12, 2005

Key Lime Tarts

Posted by WV Carrie  

I thought I'd already reviewed this, but I guess not. I made this for Easter this year, and used Lime Meltaways #55471 from this site as the base cookie for the tarts. They were excellent. I made the recipe as directed, and had no problems at... — Lizzie-Babette Jul 10, 2005

Yummy Yogurt Marinated Chicken

Posted by ciao  

What a fabulously easy dish with a lot of flavor! I made this exactly as written, but had a bump in the road when our gas grill ran out of gas about halfway through cooking time. I finished this in an iron skillet indoors, and fear I might have... — Lizzie-Babette May 29, 2005

Southeastern North Carolina Pulled Pork

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Leta  

This recipe resulted in the most stunningly good pulled pork I've EVER had. I substituted a low to medium-spiced cajun spice mix for the new mexico chile powder (one of my guests couldn't tolerate very spicy foods, but loves pulled pork). That... — Lizzie-Babette May 15, 2005

Chicken Bonnie Prince Charlie (Chicken with Drambuie Sauce)

We love Drambuie and I thought that the ingredients in this dish would add up to a real wow of a taste. However, although the dish was very easy to put together (I made it exactly as written), the taste was much more drab than expected, and the... — Lizzie-Babette May 15, 2005

Kittencal's Juicy Blue Cheese Hamburgers/Burgers

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by KITTENCAL  

We like our burgers medium rare, and the potatoes just weren't done and ended up creating a jarring note to the taste and texture. Sorry, but we would not make this again, although it may be an interesting choice for those who prefer a more... — Lizzie-Babette May 14, 2005

Lime Meltaways

Posted by sugarpea  

These were excellent. I think the trick is to make sure to roll and wrap the dough tightly in wax paper before chilling. The dough sliced very easily, and the cookies barely spread, so I put them very close together, more like 1/4" apart, which... — Lizzie-Babette Mar 30, 2005
