Fresh Raspberry Pie

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Lainey6605  

Happy to be the first to review this recipe. What an excellent pie- the crust is very flaky and the filling held together well. I used fresh wild raspberries and Crisco gold shortening in the crust. Thanks for this one Lainey . — Jan in Lanark Aug 1, 2009

Amish Creamy Coleslaw With Boiled Dressing

Posted by grandma2969  

I am so happy to be the first to review this recipe- can't believe it's been up for almost 5 years without a review, and am embarrassed to say I have made it a few times and neglected to rate it. This is a truly Amish way of making dressing. I... — Jan in Lanark Feb 12, 2009

Buck'em-Off-Chili Con Carne

Posted by William (Uncle Bill) Anatooskin  

Hi Uncle Bill, This was my first time making chili with chunks of beef(in my case a boneless blade roast), and it was wonderful. I,too, made it the day before so the flavours could meld. Only change I made was to omit the mushrooms- can't... — Jan in Lanark Feb 6, 2009

Sour Cream Pound Cake

Posted by Kozmic Blues  

This is a great simple pound cake with a very nice crumb. We had it with strawberries and vanilla ice cream, but it's wonderful just as is. Thanks- will absolutely make this again. — Jan in Lanark Aug 21, 2008

Ultimate Browned Vegetable Stock

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by NcMysteryShopper  

This is so flavourful for a veggie stock! I just finished making it as a base for what will probably be minestrone. I have a friend coming for lunch who has eliminated a lot of things from her diet, so I'm hoping I can come up with something... — Jan in Lanark Aug 5, 2008

Beef Asparagus Stir Fry

Posted by Jess4Freedom  

We just had this with the first local asparagus and it was awesome! I used a marinated cross rib steak that I had in the freezer, and did not have water chestnuts so I pulled a couple of radishes out of the garden and used them as a sub, since... — Jan in Lanark Jun 3, 2008

Cashew Chicken

Posted by BoxO'Wine  

Excellent recipe. I,too, used rice vinegar and fresh ginger and upped the tabasco a bit. For the cashews, I roasted them in a 350 oven for about 10 minutes therefore eliminating the need to stir fry them. Served this with beef and broccoli and... — Jan in Lanark Apr 30, 2008

Balsamic Strawberries With Whipped Mascarpone Cheese

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by s'kat  

I just love the combination of balsamic and strawberries and the topping is superlative. So easy too! I will definitely try this again when the strawberries are in season. It's hard to find a berry with good flavour this time of year. Thanks s'kat. — Jan in Lanark Apr 11, 2008

Pork Saltimbocca

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by conniecooks  

This was an excellent recipe, made just as described. Next time I may try using pork tenderloin to make it even more tender, and perhaps add a soft cheese such as fontina in the middle- I love cheese in everything Thanks Connie for a... — Jan in Lanark Apr 10, 2008

Southern Buttermilk Biscuits

Posted by P4  

Just made these this morning to have with chicken tonight. Of course I had to sample one and they're great with a nice light texture. Perhaps the previous reviewer (Chef #728693) used stale baking powder- this would have made them fail to rise as... — Jan in Lanark Mar 27, 2008

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by KITTENCAL  

Well Kitten, my sugar loving man thought these were one of the best cookies I've ever made and that's saying a lot! I added about 3 oz. of grated bittersweet chocolate, used unsalted butter and dark brown sugar. Also I upped the temp to 350 as we... — Jan in Lanark Mar 21, 2008

Chicken Liver Pate With Green Peppercorns and Sherry

Posted by kiwidutch  

This is great pate! I think soaking the liver in the milk makes the flavour milder-I normally do not eat liver in any way, shape or form . Did not use the cilantro as it's not a popular ingredient in my household. Thanks kiwidutch for a recipe... — Jan in Lanark Feb 3, 2008

Chinese Lemon Chicken

I've been making this recipe for years- think I got it out of a newspaper long ago and am glad to see it here. I made it last night per a request as I hadn't made it for ages. I'd forgotten how good it is! I use fresh lemon juice and find the... — Jan in Lanark Jan 27, 2008

Beef Lover's Dream Sandwich

Posted by KITTENCAL  

Kitten, I'm finally reviewing this wonderful recipe. Sure it's a little decadent, but what a way to dress up leftover beef. I've made these a couple of times using medium rare rib steak or roast. Thanks for another awesome recipe . — Jan in Lanark Oct 17, 2007

Basic Stuffing Balls With Variations

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by foodtvfan  

These were very good. I added chopped apples, and fresh sage and thyme from the garden rather than poultry seasoning. Because I was making them for Thanksgiving I always try to make as much as I can ahead of time, so I baked them two days before,... — Jan in Lanark Oct 16, 2007

Excellent lamb. I love recipes using fresh herbs when they are in the garden and I love lamb . The natural go with for this is your mint sauce Mint Sauce. Yum! I cooked the lamb for 20 minutes and it was perfectly pink. Thanks. — Jan in Lanark Jun 12, 2007

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
