Chicken with Penne and Peas

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by BothFex  

I'm surprised that this wasn't reviewed more, it's such a delicious recipe! Perfect for when we're in the mood for a light tasting pasta, but burnt out on tomato sauce. I usually double all of the "sauce" ingredients and mix with a whole box of... — Maura666 Apr 17, 2008

Indian-Style Cauliflower

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by luvinlif2k  

I own a copy of "The Reader's Digest Live Longer Cookbook," and this is one of my favorite recipes in the entire book! Usually I use a big bag of frozen cauliflower because I'm too impatient to wait for the raw stuff to cook down. I use... — Maura666 Apr 17, 2008

Cold Cucumber Soup

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Carole Reu  

I absolutely loved this cucumber soup recipe. Made it for guests awhile ago, and doubled it easily with no problems. (It was still TOTALLY gone after just 2 days!) I used a couple of green onions for the onion in the recipe and it was really... — Maura666 Dec 19, 2006

German Potato Salad

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by greyghost  

I think this IS from the Betty Crocker cookbook. It's the way I always made German potato salad, and since I hadn't in awhile... this recipe was perfect for refreshing my memory. As always, it WAS fantastic!! Thanks for posting it, greyghost! — Maura666 Mar 31, 2006

Monkeygland Sauce for Steak

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Bokenpop  

I have to admit that I added this recipe to my cookbook ONLY for the purpose of telling people that we were having "Monkeygland" sauce for dinner!!! I decided to pair it with swordfish instead of steak; it was the perfect blend of sweet and sour... — Maura666 Sep 19, 2005

Russian Friendship Tea Mix

Posted by HeatherFeather  

I've made my own (non-instant) Russian tea before, but this mix was easy and awesome! I liked the suggestion of whirling everything in the blender or food processor to get those spices a little finer in texture. This recipe made enough to last... — Maura666 Sep 19, 2005

Russian Tea Cakes

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Miss Erin  

Delicious. I believe that this is the recipe that my mother used to use when she made these for Christmas. Always have to keep a REALLY close eye on these so that they don't burn, but they're soooooo good! Thanks so much for posting this! — Maura666 Sep 19, 2005

Snitz and Knepp

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mercy  

This recipe was perfect for a day when there's 10 inches of snow on the ground! I loved the combination of smokey, sweet, and salty flavors. I only soaked my apples for a couple hours in a can of chicken broth (I microwaved them for about 2... — Maura666 Dec 30, 2004

Easy Swiss Chicken dinner

Posted by Denise in NH  

Another terrific recipe from Denise — fast, easy, and tasty. Reminds me a great deal of a one-dish meal that I used to make years ago which had a breadcrumb-stuffing topper... so, of course, I had to serve this with stuffing! The one issue that... — Maura666 Dec 25, 2004

Cream Cheese Frosting

(9 people found this helpful) Posted by riffraff  

This LITERALLY took me 5 minutes to make, and in no time I had a lovely pile of frosting for my holiday spice cake. I'd recommend this wonderful recipe to anyone who's making icing from scratch for the first time. It's easy and delicious! — Maura666 Dec 25, 2004

Five Layer Dinner

Now that's what I call comfort food... this fast, fool-proof recipe really hit the spot! With all due respect to Susan6, one can easily tell that this should be made in a standard 9X12" casserole dish, simply by the quantity of ingredients --... — Maura666 Aug 1, 2004

Cioppino

Delicious!! Because of seafood allergies of those dining with me, I substituted pieces of salmon and cod for the shellfish. The final result was awesome. And hey — thanks for the tip about the napkins! Will definitely be making this one... — Maura666 Jun 26, 2004

Faux Febreeze

Posted by Loves2Teach  

Brilliant idea — I'm so glad I stumbled upon this "recipe"! I used the original "April Fresh" Downy; even the smallest bottle available will make months and months' worth of Faux Febreeze! Thanks! — Maura666 Jun 26, 2004

Mojo Picon (Garlic Sauce)

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by canarygirl  

A yummy change of pace from the "usual" far around here... Works well in the food processor, too! I didn't have whole chilies, so I substituted a little bit of hot-pepper flakes instead. Also... I didn't have red-wine vingear, so I had to use... — Maura666 Jun 26, 2004

Caramelized Milk (Cajeta or Dulce de Leche)

(6 people found this helpful) Posted by Maty Piñero  

It's astounding that ONE ingredient could make such a great dulce de leche! Mine turned out extremely thick, just pliable enough to dip the apple wedges that I served with it. I watched this batch like a hawk as it microwaved... it didn't burn,... — Maura666 Jun 15, 2004

Homemade Shower Gel Recipe

Who knew that making a shower gel could be so easy? I've been trying to think of something interesting to do with a little vial of chocolate fragrance oil that I've had for awhile. As a sort of "test run," I made half a batch first. Mixed... — Maura666 Jun 7, 2004

Marinated Vegetable Salad

Delicious and refreshing — perfect for summertime! I omitted the Bermuda onion, the bunch of green onion added the perfect amount of zip to the salad for me. Wasn't sure about what size bottle of Italian dressing to use; I had a batch of my own... — Maura666 Jun 7, 2004

Crock Pot Western Omelet Casserole

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by yooper  

Another clever idea from Yooper! I halved the proportions (except the onion and pepper, which I used one of each), chose to use cheddar cheese and ham with this. I felt that the ham had enough salt as it was, so omitted the extra salt. Some of... — Maura666 May 7, 2004
