Properly Prepared Spaghetti Squash

Posted by BentSlightly  

Thanks for getting me started and at least comfortable enough to try spaghetti squash! I don't know if I will follow this recipe too closely in the future though. One should keep the garlic in mind for recipes which compliment it but I found it... — Chef Tweaker Nov 19, 2009

Pork Medallions With Cranberries and Apples

Posted by Susan Dillard  

I'm surprised to give this 5 stars. Two reasons it gets the highest rating... 1) hubby loved it and said I can't lose the recipe. 2) I used boneless pork chops with lots of dark meat and there was no strong pork flavor. I don't really like pork... — Chef Tweaker Nov 18, 2009

No-Guilt Pumpkin Cookies

Posted by Auntie Mags  

I messed up somehow... it has been a while since I made these but I think I may have put more than 1 cup of pumpkin in it. The result was a dough that was too runny and I should have added flour but did not. As a result the cookies spread a bunch... — Chef Tweaker Nov 15, 2009

Dense, Fudgy Vegan Brownies

Posted by WhiskingWings  

These did not work for me but to be fair I won't rate them. A few mistakes I know I made... added more cocoa powder and did not add boiling water because I thought they spread well enough. They did not bake smooth though and the water would have... — Chef Tweaker Nov 15, 2009

Egg Noodles

Posted by gypsy  

My first time making noodles from scratch. I rolled them out and dried them on 2 cooling racks. I think they need to be rolled as thin as possible. Mine were probably an 8th but a few seemed too thick upon cooking. I added a dash of salt... if you... — Chef Tweaker Nov 13, 2009

Chicken Noodle Soup

Posted by MizzNezz  

I used this recipe as a guide for the vegetables and seasonings. Had a leftover roast chicken from Roast Crispy Chicken and boiled it in a bunch of water then shed the skin and bones. I sauted the veggies on the side and added them to the broth. Then... — Chef Tweaker Nov 13, 2009

Awesome (And Economical) Chai Concentrate

Posted by rsarahl  

Thanks for this great way to save money and the wasteline! After reading Cindy Lynn's review I found Make Your Own Sweetened Condensed Milk - Homemade, Substitute. Love the combo! Blended the first cup in the blender with the remanant and it came out all frothy. I halfed the nutmeg and cloves... — Chef Tweaker Nov 13, 2009

Buttermilk Dinner Rolls

Posted by Chef #730211  

I chose this recipe because I had a suspicion that the bad experience of the previous reviewer was from user error or bad ingredients. I was right... I made these into rolls and even skipped most of the raising because I ran out of time. They... — Chef Tweaker Nov 12, 2009

Barbecued Beefies

Posted by TeresaS  

I'm going to put this into my "techniques" cookbook. I like the idea but I think you could use your favorite meatloaf and BBQ sauce. Or even use a gravy and make salisbury steaks. I was not able to make patties because the mixture was too wet so... — Chef Tweaker Nov 8, 2009

Elswet's Chicken / Shrimp Scampi

Posted by Pagan  

I was actually making Shrimp Scampi and saw your comments on it. I followed that one for the most part but put the pasta in a dish and put the cooked shrimp over it and broiled it as you recommended. I'm glad you posted your version because I tend... — Chef Tweaker Oct 28, 2009

Delicata Squash Stuffed With Dried Fruit and Nuts

Posted by KelBel  

I liked the overall taste of this. I did replace the bread cubes with a lesser amount of bread crumbs and the pine nuts with slivered almonds. Unfortunately, my squash was really dry and grainy. I believe it was either over ripe or not fresh (the... — Chef Tweaker Oct 19, 2009

Bandscakes (Dad's Famous Pancakes!)

Posted by KellyMac6  

This was great. I have made buckwheat pancakes in the past but they are usually too dense and gummy. This was the first time I tried with the two wheat flours. I only used 1/4 cup of sugar which was plenty for us. Next time I will use honey since... — Chef Tweaker Oct 3, 2009

Bevs Hot and Cheesy Tuna Quesadillas to Die For

Posted by Chef #1242862  

I made this today in my small Foreman grill. It was easy but I won't rate it since I'm not a tuna lover and I made some changes due to preference and necessity. Hubby's was made with vegan mozzarella but I didn't taste it. I chose cheddar. Also... — Chef Tweaker Oct 3, 2009

Country Style Steak

Posted by mightyro_cooking4u  

Hubby loved it so I couldn't give it less than 5 stars. The broth turned into a gravy in the pan so all you need is some mashed spuds to make this a great meal! My only concern is with the total amount of beef you may need more broth since it was... — Chef Tweaker Oct 3, 2009

Drunken Beans

Posted by Zeke Koch  

I really liked these but hubby not as much. There was a beer aftertaste which was probably why. We are wimpy when it comes to spice so I omitted the chile altogether. I used a dark Irish beer. ETA tried it again with hard apple cider and some... — Chef Tweaker Sep 14, 2009

Lazy Stuffed Meatloaf

Posted by shylo8990  

We made this a few weeks ago but I don't think I did the recipe justice enough to rate it fairly. I doubled the recipe because I had some ground pork to use in addition to the ground beef. It did make an immense amount! Unfortunately the pork was... — Chef Tweaker Sep 14, 2009

Carne Asada - Mexico

Posted by Sam #3  

This is pretty close to what we make. Hubby got an authentic recipe from a Mexican. He fillets the meat really thin first and uses more orange juice than your recipe (omits the tequila but sometimes adds rum). He slices onions in rings and layers... — Chef Tweaker Sep 14, 2009

Oatmeal Treats

Posted by A Messy Cook  

Well, first of all I didn't have self-rising flour so I attempted this with a zaar substitute. All the substitutes call for 1/2 tsp salt. I hesitated but still decided to use the full amount of salt the recipe called for but I should have listened... — Chef Tweaker Sep 8, 2009

Self-Rising Flour

Posted by hcopeland  

Just a caution. I made this with a cookie recipe which called for self-rising flour and 1/2 tsp salt. The total salt was WAY too much! I recommend cutting any additional salt out of the recipe or tasting it before adding. — Chef Tweaker Sep 8, 2009
