Ny Times Pecan Pie

Posted by zeldamet  

Excellent pecan pie - perfect texture and just the right kind of sweet. I have made this many times and it took a while to get the hang of tempering the egg so it didn't scramble when you added the hot sugar mixture (a couple of times some of the... — Kishka Sep 24, 2008

Pantry Black Bean Soup

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by James Craig  

This was very good and it was ready in no time. It was especially nice to be able make dinner without having to go to the grocery store first. I used creamed corn and petite-diced tomatoes (what I had on hand) and added a diced potato. I added a... — Kishka Aug 20, 2006

Cauliflower Kugel

Posted by Caryn Gale  

Caryn, this was great and so easy! I understand where the 'mushy' comment would come from, but I would call the texture 'melt in your mouth' instead, just like a cauliflower kugel should be. We all enjoyed this very much, including my DH, never... — Kishka Jun 13, 2006

Deli Style Brisket - Crock Pot

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mirj  

This is a great, EASY roast recipe and I loved that it cooked while I was sleeping! I put it up before I went to bed and took it out after my morning coffee. It was tender and the amount of gravy was perfect. I will definitely be making this... — Kishka Jun 13, 2006

Entenmann's Pound Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mirj  

Thank you, Mirj! This makes the perfect summer dessert. Had to make it non-dairy and it was wonderful - I can only imagine what butter would do for it! Topped each slice with non-dairy whipped topping and sliced strawberries and drizzled... — Kishka Jun 13, 2006

Caramelized Butternut Squash

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Pianolady  

My guests really enjoyed this - and so did I! I found cut up squash at my supermarket this week, which made preparing this super easy. I would have liked to use butter but had to use margarine instead - it worked out fine anyway. Thank you! — Kishka Jun 13, 2006

Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by dale!  

These were fantastic! I keep kosher, so I substituted very thinly sliced pastrami for the prosciutto. I prepared them as appetizers, wrapping 1 slice of pastrami around small chicken tenders that were coated in honey dijon mustard. I smothered... — Kishka Jun 13, 2006

To DIE for Chicken Marsala

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Malriah  

This was great and really easy. My guests loved it! (One note: it took much longer than 10 minutes for the sauce to reduce, and I added cornstarch to hasten the thickening process.) It was delicious and I will definitely make this again! Thanks! — Kishka Sep 25, 2005

Raspberry Balsamic Chicken

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by KelBel  

This was so good and so easy! Some small changes I made: I used red currant preserves as I'm not a big fan of raspberry, and I sauteed more onion before I made the sauce. I also just added the chicken back to the pan and warmed it up in the... — Kishka Dec 9, 2004

Wild Rice Mushroom Stuffing

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Karen From Colorado  

Karen, this was really good - next time I might add another cup or two of bread (I guess I like my stuffing gummy!) but the flavor was really nice. I used fresh sage and fresh thyme and probably two more cups of shrooms than called for - I had... — Kishka Nov 26, 2004

Greek Potatoes (Oven-Roasted and Delicious!)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by evelyn/athens  

Wow - great potatoes. I didn't add more water (I like them to carmelize at the end), and I used half oregano and half fresh thyme - personal preference. Lots of salt and pepper and about 3 hours in the oven (stirring every hour) and these were... — Kishka Nov 19, 2004

Curried String / Green Beans

Posted by CardaMom  

These are great string beans. I have made these often - most recently for my DH's family - and my picky sister-in-law just called me for the recipe! I usually add a pinch more sugar than called for, personal preference. Thank you for a great... — Kishka Oct 5, 2004

Angelhair Pasta with Portabellas, Leeks and Balsamic Vinegar

Posted by Barb Gertz  

This is a really nice recipe - the flavors are really good together. I used Rotini pasta instead of Angel Hair (easier to serve as a side dish). I did not find it to be oily at all - in fact, it was a little bland/dry for my taste (especially... — Kishka Sep 27, 2004

Calzones

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Kathleen Talbot  

These calzones are a good place to start, but they came out with lots of dough/crust and not much filling! I intend to make this recipe again - but I will quadruple the filling next time. Thanks for posting! — Kishka Jul 28, 2004

Belgian Meatballs Braised in Beer

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by LikeItLoveIt  

Great Meatballs of Fire! So to speak. These were delicious - a really nice change of pace from the usual tomato sauce based meatballs. Two changes I can think of - I used soy milk instead of milk for the breadcrumbs and I sauteed a chopped... — Kishka Mar 27, 2004

Tomato soup with Chicken Meatballs

Posted by dale!  

This was great, dale! I didn't love the flavor of the scallions in the chicken balls, but my husband really likes it. Personal preference, I guess. Regardless, I will 100% be making this easy, filling soup again - maybe with basil instead of... — Kishka Mar 9, 2004

OK, I don't know if this is legal because I haven't actually made your recipe, but it's the same as mine so I know I approve!! (Except that I chop my onions instead of slicing them) I hope there are people out there who still cook with shmaltz... — Kishka Feb 14, 2004
