Fat Free Cherry Cobbler

Posted by mandabears  

I made the sugar free version- used Splenda- because my dad is borderline diabetic and I want to make him a special dessert for Thanksgiving. I tried this out on friends and it is very very good. I was a little concerned because the "crust"... — JLakins Nov 4, 2009

Tater Tot Breakfast Bake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Gina*S  

This is a great breakfast dish to serve when having company. It's quick, easy and tasty. Only change I made was to double the amount of bacon- yes we LUV bacon. This would also be good with sausage. — JLakins Oct 15, 2009

Mexican Rice

Posted by Pot Scrubber  

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! This is just the best recipe. I always struggle making rice (even the boil in the bag kind). Now I can make Mexican Rice like a pro. I made this a week in advance and froze as I was having guests staying at our... — JLakins Oct 15, 2009

Cherry Chocolate Crock Pot Dessert

Posted by Mirj  

I'm giving this 5 stars because this is easy and so very tasty, however I would have given it 4 1/2 if I could have because you don't really taste the cherries. The overwhelming flavor is chocolate, I love chocolate so that was okay, but would... — JLakins Sep 30, 2009

Crock Pot Swedish Cabbage Rolls (The Best!!!!!!)

Posted by soulmatesforever  

This is a great recipe. My husband said it was the best meal I've ever fixed. As others suggested I doubled the sauce mix and just prior to serving took the extra sauce out of the crockpot and put it on the stove with a little cornstarch to... — JLakins Sep 2, 2009

Posted by Pinaygourmet #345142  

Wow, this is a great lasagna. Served it for a small dinner party and everyone had seconds. Great flavor combinations. A definite keeper. The only change I made was I had to use ground beef instead of veal. Otherwise I made it exactly per... — JLakins Jul 23, 2009

Aussie Chicken

Posted by kcdelong  

Great dish to make for guests. Everyone loved it. I doubled the recipe and had a couple of breasts leftover and they just got better and better. I bought already sliced thin breasts so no pounding, otherwise followed the recipe without... — JLakins Mar 22, 2009

Crabbies (Paula Deen)

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Sharlene~W  

I give this 5 stars if made and eaten "fresh", only 3 stars if frozen. I made these in advance for a weekend with friends. They were delicious right out of the oven, but once they had been frozen and then reheated they just weren't the same. I... — JLakins Mar 22, 2009

Blue Cheese Vodka Balls (Finger Food)

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by hellokitty  

OMG! What a hit these were over the weekend. As another reviewer did I just used regular vodka (Grey Goose) and added a little fresh ground pepper. This is my new "go to" appetizer. I made them up a few days ahead of time, but did not roll in... — JLakins Nov 16, 2008

Cheesy Crab Appetizer

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Merlot  

Excellent appetizer. Note, I am not a fan of warming them in a microwave. I did freeze them as I was taking these as appetizers for a long weekend we had with friends. The first night I warmed them in the microwave, they were okay, but since I... — JLakins Nov 16, 2008

Loaded Baked Potato Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by princess buttercup  

I loved this potato salad as did all my friends. I served it warm and kept it warm using a buffet warmer. I wanted to eat the entire pan myself, but it's somewhat rich so I limited myself to an oversize helping! Can't wait for the holidays... — JLakins Aug 31, 2008

They Could Be Sliders (If Eaten With Eyes Closed) - White Castle

Posted by LAURIE  

OMG! I wish I could give this 10 stars. I made these for a community get together and they were gone in a flash. Everyone loved them. One person said, "I never eat hamburgers but after a bite of my husband's I couldn't resist". I found the... — JLakins Aug 31, 2008

Perfect Southern Fried Chicken

Other than eliminating the oregano (personal choice) I made this exactly by the directions. IT IS AWESOME. I have already emailed the recipe to a friend. The breading is absolutely to die for. I double breaded some pieces. DH liked those... — JLakins Jul 13, 2008

Cherry Tomatoes Marinated in Vodka (In Oversized Martini Glass)

Posted by NcMysteryShopper  

I'm in the minority, but I took this for an appetizer on a long weekend trip with several friends. It wasn't a hit. I used grey goose, which I love, but the flavor was just too strong. We could barely eat them. I made them exactly per the recipe. — JLakins Nov 17, 2007

Perky Olive Penguins

Just made these for our annual family reunion. I'm from Ky and most of my family are not very adventurous eaters, so I had some doubts if anyone would even try these little guys since they were made with black olives, but they were a hit. A... — JLakins Jun 23, 2007

Corned Beef and Cabbage in Guinness

I'm making this for the second time. The first time was St. Patty's Day. It is absolutely the best way to fix corned beef. All our guests raved, I should have doubled the recipe! I must admit I used the flavor package that came with the... — JLakins Jun 23, 2007
