Finger Lickin Chicken Gizzards

Posted by Christine Bettiga  

Thanks Christine, I've never simmered anything for three hours on the stovetop, but since I was feeling a little under the weather, I had the time. I have NEVER tasted gizzards so tender. Like the others have said - there are alot of... — Laurita Nov 18, 2009

Crock Pot Potato Chowder

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by stacylu  

Very good! In my crock pot, it took more than 8 hours, but I nuked it to finish off the potatoes (because it was lunch time!) and then added in the cream cheese. Was very good and tasty. I also added in corn and celery, as I was concerned that... — Laurita Oct 20, 2009

Thank you Missy! I only got three chops in a package so I reduced the recipe a little, then forgot to pick up the tomato sauce, so I put a little ragu in, I had both red and green peppers, also needed to use up a package of button mushrooms... — Laurita Oct 11, 2009

Absolutely 5 stars! Next time (very soon) I think I will put the walnuts in the cake - I agree with a lot of the reviews. These are sooo good that it's almost impossible not to eat a lot of it - almost to the point of embarrassment! This recipe... — Laurita Sep 6, 2009

Yummy Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie

Posted by Wendy W88  

This is wonderful - seemingly sinful. I had a guy tell me apple pie was his favorite, so in an attempt to impress him, I made him this recipe. I'd never made an apple pie before, but you gotta figure 240 or so 5 star reviews, everyone can't be... — Laurita Aug 31, 2009

MizzNezz, Yummy is right! I did everything per the recipe except where I messed up a bit and didn't cover it, it still came out awesome. Well, actually, I made a couple little changes when I was cooking the chicken I added fresh pressed garlic,... — Laurita Jul 7, 2009

Basil Shrimp Stuffed Zucchini

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Shawn C  

This is "over the top"! as the previous reviewer Granny Em noted. I didn't make it exactly the same, I mixed parmesan cheese with the bread crumbs and used canned tomatoes with italian seasonings. I sauteed the onions, added garlic slices, and... — Laurita May 6, 2009

Marie, This is a great and easy recipe. I was lucky to get some beautiful jumbo shrimp (Ten shrimp made a pound!) at the Farmer's Market yesterday so I was in search of a simple recipe for them. This recipe has a mild tasty flavor. I did... — Laurita May 3, 2009

Very good, Connie51. I read some of the reviews and incorporated some of their ideas and they totally steered me in right direction. The recipe "as is" may be better or at least as tasty. I added a cut up chicken breast to make the complete and... — Laurita Apr 26, 2009

An excellent B&B recipe. I've included the photo - well forgot to take the picture before we had already served and munched a good chunk of it, but it was very tasty! I was concerned that it would be bland because the only spice was nutmeg and... — Laurita Apr 12, 2009

Tortellini Tomato Spinach Soup

Posted by spatchcock  

This is a 5-star, if you make it as written! I'll agree with Ellee in that leftovers are more just like a pasta dish/stew. But, it is awesome as a transformed soup also. I served with tear-apart crusty bread and with the weather beginning to... — Laurita Jan 15, 2009

4 Minute Spicy Garlic Shrimp

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chippie  

Awesome, I topped it off with some good ol' Louisiana hot sauce. It makes an excellent dipping sauce, so get some of that crusty french bread to go along with the shrimp. I had a 41-50 count bag of already peeled and devined white shrimp with... — Laurita Feb 23, 2008
