Slow Cooker Jambalaya

Date: 2015/05/04
"Great flavor. I thought it had just the right spice. We served it over brown rice. And also decided to cook the shrimp in a skillet instead of the slow cooker just to be safe. The chicken may have been a little dry, but we did cook it for 8+ hours. Maybe closer to 6 would have been better."

Sunrise Sangria

Date: 2015/05/04
"Very tasty. Perfect for a morning brunch."

Zesty Pork Chops and Grilled Vegetables

Date: 2015/03/23
"DELICIOUS! The pork was definitely moist but, amazingly, the vegetables were the best part. Due to the snow, I roasted the vegetables in the oven, adding 2 cloves minced garlic and some steak seasoning. And I used a grill pan for the pork chops. Not sure if it can get better even if it was on the grill."

Christmas Crack

Date: 2014/12/15
"Addicting. Not sure I should make this again because it was so good!"

Peppermint Kiss Cookies

Date: 2014/12/15
"These were brought to a holiday cookie swap and they were fantastic! I will have to make more because my family LOVES them."

Quinoa Pilaf

Date: 2014/10/13
"This recipe is SO good. I was not that familiar with quinoa and a little scared of it but wanted to try it as it is full of fiber and supposedly healthy. I could not stop eathing this, even cold it was good. My kids even had seconds!"

Kisses Peanut Butter Blossoms

Date: 2014/09/23
"I used chunky peanut butter and consensus says creamy is better. Flavor is great though. Be sure to press chocolate in otherwise they tend to fall out."

Meatloaf with Roasted Vegetables

Date: 2014/09/05
"My husband said it was the best meatloaf he's ever had! Coming from him, that's a compliment (he's been known to order meatloaf at restaurants). I doubled the meat portion and should have doubled the vegetables too. It was delicious! I seasoned the vegetables with Mrs. Dash and added mushrooms when I put the barbecue sauce on it."

Turkey and Zesty Slaw Wrap

Date: 2014/08/21
"I loved the crunch of the cole slaw. The dressing was good, too. I did use Dijon mustard instead of horseradish mustard as I didn't have that."

Hamburger Gravy

Date: 2014/06/27
"This was VERY tasty. I had visions of the hamburger gravy at the school from when I was a kid, but this was so much better. It is quick and easy, perfect for our busy summer nights."

Chex Scotcharoos

Date: 2014/06/09
"These were SO SO good. I must admit, though, they were a bit of a hassle to make. I did double it, so that was alot of shaping and frosting. According to my husband, well worth it, though."

Marinated Asparagus

Date: 2014/05/22
"I loved this but I do love Balsamic Vinaigrette. My husband preferred just the oil with salt and pepper grilled asparagus. To each their own. I did grill on a piece of foil so I wouldn't lose any spears in the grill."

Macaroni Salad with Vegetables

Date: 2014/05/05
"I made this with cucumber, celery and red pepper. I loved the flavor of the sweet dressing. I will make it again. This would be great to double or triple to feed a crowd."

Basil Cheese Pull Apart Bread Sticks

Date: 2014/04/24
"WOW! These were crazy good. And I only used half the cheese on a big loaf of Vienna bread! It was difficult to get the pieces out, but used a knife to cut through the bottom since this got a little crisp (which was great with the soft buttery-garlicy middles). I will be making this again!"

Best Cheeseburger Soup

Date: 2014/03/19
"I really liked this soup. I think it was even better the next day. Could definitely be double or tripled for a crowd for game day."

Tilapia Parmesan

Date: 2014/01/22
"I made this last night and I asked my 8-year old if it was good. She said "No, it is GREAT!". I think that says it all. I did broil it instead of baking it. Don't make the mistake of lining the pan with parchment paper like me...it will burn in the broiler! Had to make a quick change to foil."

Simple Shrimp Salad

Date: 2013/12/04
"Tasty salad. Perfect for a light lunch."

Cheesy Potato and Bacon Soup

Date: 2013/11/13
"I made this last night since my family loves potato soup. Really good soup. I halved the pepper and it was plenty...so beware!"

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

Date: 2013/10/28
"If you love buffalo chicken, you will love this. Served it during the football game for some friends and we ate it up. Perfect with blue cheese dressing to top it off with."

Easy Rice Stuffed Peppers

Date: 2013/08/16
"I used my homemade tomato sauce, which is a little sweeter and it was perfect in this recipe. Loved it with the garden fresh peppers. Perfect for company."

Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Kabobs

Date: 2013/08/16
"When I was a kid my dad would make shish kabobs over a charcoal grill. I made these on my gas grill and they really were good, but I'm sure they would be even better over that charcoal!"

Ultimate Panini

Date: 2013/08/15
"Great on ciabatta bread. I served it with some chicken noodle soup and had a nice and easy meal without any fuss."

Easy Turkey Gravy

Date: 2013/08/08
"Definitely use broth, not water for this recipe. Not enough drippings to flavor it up enough with water."

Caramelized Fried Apples

Date: 2013/08/06
Comment: Just what I need for a quick dessert tonight. Served warm over vanilla ice cream sounds perfect!

Green Tomato Salsa

Date: 2013/08/06
"I was getting antsy to use something from my garden so I found this recipe and tried it. It was really good. I think I prefer the salsa with ripe tomatoes better, but only because of the tenderness of the tomatoes, I think."

Corn and Shrimp Bisque

Date: 2013/08/02
"This soup sounds SO good. I think it'll be even better with fresh sweet corn. I'm going to make it this weekend!"

Egg Salad

Date: 2013/07/17
"I used Miracle Whip instead of mayo just because that's what my mom always uses. I like celery in mine and ALWAYS have it with lettuce on toast! Perfect with tomato soup."

Easy Maid Rites

Date: 2013/06/28
"Sweet from the brown sugar and tangy from the vinegar. I loved this. More ketchup than what I would normally think of as a maid rite, closer to a sloppy joe. Great for a crowd."

Fresh Raspberry Pie

Date: 2013/06/25
"I didn't have enough raspberries, so I used a pint of strawberries, too. OMG! Served it with vanilla ice cream and I wanted to hide the leftover piece so I could enjoy it when everyone went to bed."

Samoas Bars

Date: 2013/05/13
"These are good. The coconut layer didn't want to stick to the shortbread, but once you got it all together it really did taste like the Girl Scout cookie Samoas."

Savory Summer Vegetables

Date: 2013/04/24
"Great side dish. Love the Italian dressing. I roasted these in the oven and served with grilled burgers."

Brown Rice Pilaf

Date: 2013/04/05
"I liked the idea of this but the seasonings reminded me of Thanksgiving. I will make again, but I think I will just use salt and pepper."

Tomato Basil Bruschetta

Date: 2013/03/25
"Simple to mix up. I put in an extra garlic clove but I would stick to just the 2 cloves as it was pretty garlicky!"

Baked Caramel Overnight French Toast

Date: 2013/02/26
"Delicious French toast recipe. I was out of corn syrup but it was still delicious. The caramel topping is out of this world! I took a spoon to it when all the bread was gone :)"

Idaho Tacos

Date: 2013/02/04
"Great take on the classic baked potato. My kids are always requesting tacos so this was a way to please them and have something a little different for my husband and I. These were great."

Apricot Brown Sugar Ham

Date: 2013/01/22
"Since ham was on sale I picked one up and made this recipe. It was delicious! And SO easy. Why don't I make ham more often since it is simple and budget friendly since you can get at least 3 meals out of it?"

Pasta with Chicken and Vegetables

Date: 2013/01/16
"Good weeknight dinner. I used chicken thighs and dried basil and lots of pepper."

Cookies and Cream Salad

Date: 2012/06/12
"I LOVED it! Who wouldn't love a salad with Oreos in it?"

Grilled Chicken Quesadillas

Date: 2011/08/31
"Great way to use leftover chicken. I used chicken thighs roasted in the oven with oil, salt and pepper. Omitted the chili powder and lime peel, added bacon. Kids had second."

Spanish Rice

Date: 2011/08/31
"Delicious! Kids even raved about it. Easy to make, too."

Honey Garlic Pork Chops

Date: 2011/07/06
"These were good. I think will double the soy sauce and garlic next time just to give it more flair since I love garlic and anything Asian inspired."
