I switched his up a bit and roasted 2 green and red bell peppers, a container of diced mushrooms and 2 large onions and 2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped) with some salt and pepper in a 425 degree oven for 20 minutes. Then I combined 2 cans of... — Grandmakristin Jul 28, 2009

Cyt Skinny Spaghetti & Meatballs

Posted by ltlmishu  

I truly mean no disrespect as this is not your recipe and think it would be unfair to give it a rating, but with 615 calories, 39% saturated fat. 53% cholesterol and 59% sodium (recommended daily allowances), I'm surprised that Lifetime would have... — Grandmakristin Jul 24, 2009

Barefoot Contessa's Parmesan Chicken

Posted by Juenessa  

Only thing I do differently is use Panko bread crumbs instead of the dry bread crumbs and put a little salt and pepper directly on the chicken breasts (besides putting some in the seasoned flour). — Grandmakristin Jul 23, 2009

Cooking Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast

Posted by Carol's Mistletoe Kitchen  

Good basic recipe, but by using bone in chicken breasts, adding some carrots, celery, onion and a 1/2 head of garlic, salt and pepper (and you strain the liquid after it's done cooking) you've got a much more flavorful chicken and stock to add to... — Grandmakristin Jul 14, 2009

Meatball Sub Casserole

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by yooper  

Great recipe! I followed the suggestion to let the bread dry out overnight and no water added to the sauce. Then, I stumbled upon the remedy to the soggy bottom when I reheated the leftovers. I flipped the casserole over (putting the cut up... — Grandmakristin Jun 11, 2009

Easy Roasted Vegetables

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Katzen  

This is very similar to a SBD recipe for roasted veggies. I also add 2 cloves of finely diced garlic cloves and extra virgin olive oil (instead of the bottled salad dressing) and a few shakes of red pepper flakes before roasting. I freeze in... — Grandmakristin May 15, 2009

" Da Best" Chicago-Style Italian Beef

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by EdsGirlAngie  

This was "Da Bomb!" I used a 2.5 lb rump roast, but made the amount of gravy listed in the recipe. I cooked the roast for 60 minutes, took it out and let it rest for 20 minutes while I made Da gravy. The next day (after marinating), I put... — Grandmakristin May 11, 2009

Southwestern Quinoa Salad

Posted by Melissa  

Really yummy, but do agree with another reviewer who thought it was a little dry and needed a little tweaking. I also added some additional salt, pepper, olive oil and a little sugar. I also used chipotle pepper powder as I didn't have canned.... — Grandmakristin Apr 12, 2009

Boston Market Dill Potato Wedges

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by JustaQT  

Boston Market's potatoes are not "browned." When I make my version, I just melt butter and garlic salt together while the potatoes are boiling. When the potatoes are done, slice them into wedges and pour the melted butter/garlic salt over the... — Grandmakristin Mar 23, 2009

Vegetable Quiche Cups -SBD-

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by dale!  

As written, it's an OK recipe. Here are my "modifications." First, I use an entire 15 oz container of Egg Beaters, saute the onions and peppers until softened and put in an 8x8 baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray. Instead of shredded cheddar... — Grandmakristin Mar 13, 2009

Acini Di Pepe Salad

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Grammy Maria  

I have made this salad many times and it is always enjoyed by all. However, this recipe leaves out one VERY IMPORTANT step...you mix the juices, sugar, flour and eggs together and boil them until thickened stirring constantly to avoid scrambling... — Grandmakristin Feb 4, 2009

Cheesy Potato Casserole

Posted by TheDancingCook  

I diced up fresh potatoes instead of using frozen hash browns. I added less butter than the recipe called for and still had a floating layer of melted butter on top that I had to mop up with a paper towel. Next time I'll skip the butter all... — Grandmakristin Oct 12, 2008

Sooooo, good. I made this by cooking the beef, bacon and onion together, drained the excess grease and threw it in my slow cooker. Then I added the rest of the ingredients and stirred it well to combine all of the ingredients and cooked it on... — Grandmakristin Aug 29, 2008

Cowboy Caviar

Good with a few tweaks. I use one can of black beans, one can of black-eyed peas, 1/2 of a red onion finely diced (instead of the green onions), scrape 2-3 cobs of fresh corn, finely dice 1 jalapeno pepper and skip the can of peas. For the... — Grandmakristin Jul 14, 2008
