Macaroni and Cheese

Posted by Chef #1340087  

Easy peasy and satisfying. DH and my MIL had been begging for mac & cheese with diced tomatoes, so I thought I would give this simple recipe a try. I ended up with close to 4 cups shredded Champagne Cheddar cheese mixed in with the noodles and... — KateL Aug 24, 2009

Tennessee Mountaintop Bacon

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by loof  

Tasty bacon, but the recipe's directions need to estimate baking time. A similar recipe called for 10 minutes, draining the fat, and 5 minutes more or until done; I made only 1/4 pound (just 2 people!) of Kuntzler's bacon, so I did not need to... — KateL Aug 15, 2009

Lettuce Breakfast Wraps

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by I'mPat  

Who doesn't like a BLT? My romaine (Cos) was very fresh and crunchy, so it didn't wrap easily. I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise; I would have preferred a fat-free ranch dressing or salad dressing spritzes instead. Four tablespoons of cheese is a... — KateL Aug 9, 2009

Fruit Salad in a Cantaloupe Basket

Posted by Dreamer in Ontario  

Simply wonderful. I used Grand Marnier, so my "dressing" was oh-so-mellow. I would have added some whole strawberries to garnish, but the red grapes also added quite a bit of red accent, so extra strawberries were unnecessary. I vote for the... — KateL Aug 3, 2009

Ww Southwestern Pork Chops - 4 Pts.

Posted by TeresaS  

Very enjoyable! Don't omit the cilantro, it adds punch. I used medium Chi Chi's Fiesta salsa. My boneless pork chops were 8 oz each, so my simmering time was 40-45 minutes to 170 degrees. Just follow your digital meat thermometer to the... — KateL Aug 2, 2009

Strawberries on a Cloud

Posted by gailanng  

4.5 stars by a family vote. The topping was very tasty and very easy; one child served himself a cloud topped by strawberry slices (skipping the cake) — I think he had the best idea. There was no angel food cake available, so I used Hostess... — KateL Aug 1, 2009

My Lightened Veggie Version of Poppy Seed Chicken

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Annacia  

Very tasty, the poppy seeds added both visual and spice accents to help this escape from "blah." Supper doesn't get much easier than this. I recommend that instead of drizzling olive oil at the end, spray olive-oil Pam to help the cracker... — KateL Jul 31, 2009

Boeuf Bourguignon in Slow Time.

Posted by Sage  

Delicious, although this doesn't cook long enough for me to complete a work day: 6 hours, add 2 things, cook 1 1/2 hours more. Julia Child's version in my Le Creuset pot is still my favorite recipe if I will have to hang around, but the slow... — KateL Jul 31, 2009

Sublime, goes right into my Top Favorites of 2009! Rich and creamy, delight in every bite! This is definitely the best cheesecake I have ever made, and probably the best I have ever eaten (and I used to travel to a central New Jersey diner from... — KateL Jul 27, 2009

BLT Chicken Salad With Ranch

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by 2SpiceItUp  

Delicious, even kept well in the refrigerator for 4 days, despite the lettuce. This recipe made about 4 quarts of salad as I understood the ingredients listing: 8 oz dry spiral pasta, and 1 romaine bunch. I used 1 packet of ranch dressing (4... — KateL Jul 26, 2009

Japanese Rice With Salted Peanuts and Scallions

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MarraMamba  

Nice rice dish, very simple, but the peanut oil wakes up the flavor. I made this in a timeshare vacation's kitchen, so I lacked a fine sieve to rinse the rice, and I used a measuring cup as a mold. The Japanese like to mold their rice with a... — KateL Jul 26, 2009

Hearty, deep flavor. We loved this! Used button, baby Portobella, oyster and shitake mushrooms for variety and depth of flavor. Will make this again, thank you for sharing this recipe, Katzen! Made for July 2009 Veg*n Swap. — KateL Jul 26, 2009

Festive Frittata

Delicious and satisfying, lends to make-ahead cooking for weekday on-the-run breakfasts. To appear festive, this dish cried out for colorful topping accents from red and/or green bell pepper or roasted red pepper or chopped fresh chives or green... — KateL Jul 26, 2009

Brussels Sprouts Medley

Posted by breezermom  

Perfect combination of tastes, we were ecstatic while eating these Brussels Sprouts. The carrots and celery flavor the cooking broth. Cashews added great flavor and crunch. The thyme deserved a "best supporting character" award; it took this to... — KateL Jul 26, 2009

Simply Chicken Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chef Jean  

Ready to make this again, it was delicious — loved the honey accent, especially with honey-wheat bread — but 1/4 cup of mayonnaise was enough. This made 3 LARGE sandwiches. Thank you for sharing this recipe, Chef Jean. Made for Please Review... — KateL Jul 26, 2009

Jelled Strawberry Topping for Cheesecake

Posted by 2Bleu (Bird&Buddha)  

4.5 stars, due to personal preference for a less jelled topping, however, I believe that coating every strawberry and the entire cheesecake top helped to preserve the strawberries longer than would have been possible otherwise with more exposure... — KateL Jul 26, 2009

Salsa Borracha or Drunk Salsa

Posted by mama's kitchen  

Very zesty, and very easy. The spices seemed rather heavy to me, but I acknowledge that DH and I don't go real spicy. So the difference from 5 stars is due to personal preference, not an error in the recipe. I'm interested to see how this... — KateL Jul 19, 2009

Gold Bricks

Posted by alligirl  

Easy peasy, and delightful! The graham crackers provided a hearty base flavor and kept the pecan-praline mixture from tasting overly sweet. I used about 1/3 of the box of graham crackers, 15 crackers, all that fit in my 9x13 pan. I used the... — KateL Jul 19, 2009

Bakinbaby's Egg & Mushroom Breakfast

My favorite ingredients, very tasty and colorful. Just needs toasted whole-grain bread on the side to complete the meal. I used 2 tablespoons of bacon grease, but that was way too much in the end - 2 teaspoons would have been enough, I think, to... — KateL Jul 18, 2009

Western One Pan Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by FolkDiva  

Nice, moist snack cake. It was a relief not to add frosting. I did this with My Inner Child, who only used cake mixes growing up. Is this also called a "dump cake"? Thank you for sharing this recipe, FolkDiva. Made for Photo Tag. — KateL Jul 16, 2009
