Old Fashioned Corn and Potato Chowder

Posted by Malriah  

Good soup. I substituted some seasoned salt and some celery salt for the regular salt called for. I used frozen corn and heated it up in the water to make cooked corn and boiled water at the same time first, then added everything else. — Chicago Clare Oct 17, 2009

Sour Cream Banana Bread

Posted by Charishma Ramchandani  

Good banana bread! I've got a few recipes for banana bread. Love the moistness guaranteed by the sour cream (I used fat-free plain yougurt). I used 3 medium sized bananas, and half wheat flour too. Yum! — Chicago Clare Oct 17, 2009

Tortellini Rosé (Tortellini With Tomato Cream Sauce)

Posted by littleturtle  

I was looking for a quick recipe to fancy-up a jar of pasta sauce- this was perfect! I didn't have any cream, so used 1% milk- I'm sure it would be better with the cream, but the milk was fine too. I added about a cup of frozen spinich which I... — Chicago Clare Oct 2, 2009

The Only Chocolate Cake Recipe You'll Ever Need! (Devil's Food)

Posted by Karen=^..^=  

I was worried when the batter came out very thin, but this recipe made an awesome, moist, dense (but not brownie-like) cake! I subbed 1 C unsweetened applesauce for the 1 C oil, and used only about 1/2 t salt. Perfect. I will definitely turn to... — Chicago Clare Sep 20, 2009

Mexican Enchilada Sauce

Posted by Donna Matthews  

I thought that 3 cups of water with only 8 oz of tomato sauce sounded odd compared to other enchilada sauces I've made, but this really works! Good stuff! — Chicago Clare Jun 8, 2009

Cranberry Couscous Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by flower7  

Really very good! I followed the recipe exactly, though I was especially leary of the cinnamon-- I didn't specifically taste it in the finished salad, though I'm sure it added to the overall taste. The mint gives a brightness too. Great,... — Chicago Clare Jun 1, 2009

Slow Cooker/Crock Pot Cranberry Pork Loin Roast

Posted by KITTENCAL  

Awesome. Tender, flavorful meat with tasty gravy. I followed the recipe exactly, and did use the garlic-- though I don't remember seeing any in the finished roast! Great recipe. — Chicago Clare Jun 1, 2009

Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins

Posted by Dorel  

A good, dense muffin- like a pound-cake consistency almost. I used frozen berries and topped the muffins with some sugar crystals. Yummy. — Chicago Clare May 18, 2009

Bruschetta Chicken Bake

Posted by lilkittykt  

Good- this is the same recipe as is listed on the Stove Top box- My husband liked this one more than I did. He said he liked the flavors. I liked it but didn't love it. It's simple, good for you and fast. The leftovers are even better. Will... — Chicago Clare May 10, 2009

Quick Chicken & Black Bean Quesadillas

Posted by Elizabeth  

Made this for cinco de mayo- Ole! I combined the ingredients here with the technique from another recipe-- I threw the beans and all the spices (except the cayanne- too much heat for me) into the blender to make a spread...then cooked a large... — Chicago Clare May 9, 2009

Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Posted by Lennie  

These were lots of fun! Everyone kept asking how I kept the cones from burning-- I didn't do anything-- they just didn't burn or even brown! I made these with chocolate and strawberry cake mixes with chocolate and pink-tinted creamcheese... — Chicago Clare May 3, 2009

Steak (Or Chicken) Fajitas

Posted by Rhonda *J*  

I bet it would be even better with a little more time to marinade, but even with just 10 min, this was great! Just the right amount of marinade for 2 large chicken breasts worth of meat. Much better (and cheaper) than the packet I forgot to buy... — Chicago Clare Apr 28, 2009

Chickpea Curry (Garbanzos)

Posted by SaraFish  

Really good, and FAST to make! I used susan*w's idea of using canned chopped tomatoes--doubled the recipe and used a 15 oz can of petite diced tomatoes, undrained--mixed well with the rice. Thanks! — Chicago Clare Apr 27, 2009

Peachy Chicken

Posted by Stargazerlilly  

Wow! That was good. I was not sure about the peach concept, the peach + onion idea, or the 1/2 cup of brown sugar....but it was perfect! I made this as written (though I cut the chicken into strips to cook a little faster). Served over brown... — Chicago Clare Apr 19, 2009

Mushroom Chicken

Posted by *Pixie*  

SUPER-- easy to do, but looks and tastes like something you'd order at a restaurant. I didn't use the green onions (didn't have any), but sprinkled in about a 1/4 t onion powder. Served over rice. Good stuff! Thanks! — Chicago Clare Apr 5, 2009

Crock Pot Vegetable Soup

Posted by jenna sais quoi  

Great soup- I made this with vegetarian better than bullion, omitted the turnip and cabbage (didn't have any), and made it for a Lenten simple supper with friends. We're starting to do this "stone soup" style (where guests each bring an... — Chicago Clare Feb 28, 2009

No-Bake Granola Bars
