Date: 2015/03/18
"Fun for the kids to wake up to on St. Patrick's Day. I served it with some green milk, too!"

Pancake Muffins with Sausage

Date: 2015/03/12
"Really good! I way prefer these over standing over a griddle throughout the entire breakfast. They taste like the breakfast style piggies in a blanket."

Sweet Bread with Macadamia Honey Butter

Date: 2015/02/02
"Good bread. We ate all 4 loaves. But I didn't think it had the sweetness that the bread at Kona Cafe had. The butter was a match, though."

Easy Chicken Wild Rice Soup

Date: 2014/11/04

Chopped Greek Salad with Chicken

Date: 2014/10/20
"I found my new lunch salad. So easy and with just the red wine vinegar it is easy to transport! I grilled up some chicken breasts last night so I have chicken for all week. Thanks!"

Ceviche de Camaron

Date: 2014/10/13
"This was SO delicious! I thought it would need cocktail sauce with it, so I mixed some up, but nobody even touched it. The shrimp was flavored perfectly with everything else. The vegetables added crunch that was amazing. Definitely will make this again!"

Skinny Cream of Cauliflower Soup

Date: 2014/09/30
"This really was delicious. I didn't even miss the cream. I made my kids cream of potato with bacon and one of my daughters like this soup just as much. So, that says alot if it competes with bacon!"

Vegetable Stuffed Peppers

Date: 2014/09/11
"Delicious! The filling was SO good! I had a whole bunch of peppers, so I doubled the recipe, using half ground beef and half ground turkey. I was able to stuff 11 peppers and still had a little filling leftover that I just put around the bottom of the peppers. I served it with spaghetti noodles and my kids put the filling on the spaghetti. I did not miss the rice at all."

Roasted Spaghetti Squash

Date: 2014/08/25
"Not a huge amount of flavor, but I think if you messed with the seasonings it could be delicious. I roasted it and used it in replace of pasta for my spaghetti as I am trying to eat healthier. I didn't mind it at all and would definitely do this again."

Dirty Banana Cocktail

Date: 2014/08/18
"Great cocktail recipe! Perfect for an after dinner drink at the lake."

Indoor S'More bars

Date: 2014/08/11
"These were a crowd pleaser, but I think I would have liked them better with milk chocolate chips. And I would add a couple more cups of marshmallows."

Cinnamon Roll Icing

Date: 2014/06/09
"Made these to top off Cinnamon Roll Waffles. Use 1-2 tablespoons of milk for frosting and 4 tablespoons for more of a drizzle."

Scallops with Bacon

Date: 2014/05/22
"My favorite way to make scallops! And you'll never believe how easy it is. 4 ingredients is all it takes and 15 minutes."

Vegetable Bars

Date: 2014/05/19
"I used grated carrots, cauliflower, cucumbers and red peppers. The spread was delicious and could be a dip all on its own. I definitely will make this again!"

Saltine Toffee

Date: 2013/12/04
"Surprisingly delicious and is so much like real toffee but way easier!"

Sticky Bun Coffee Ring

Date: 2013/09/23
"This was good. I think I would roll each biscuit in the sugar-cinnamon mixture next time since they are really good on the outside but pretty bready throughout the middle. Dipping them would coat them all around. I skipped the nuts since the kids wouldn't eat it."

Freezer Tomato Sauce

Date: 2013/09/09
"I am not a canner but my neighbor gave me a bunch of tomatoes so I thought I would try this recipe. My daughter had a bowlful after it was done in the blender. I made chili with it yesterday and loved it! It made about 8 cups of sauce. I will be making this again!"

Taco Pizza

Date: 2013/09/04
"My kids loved this meal. It's perfect for weeknights and everybody topped their slice with what they wanted."

Warm Beach Peanut Butter Bars

Date: 2013/08/20
"I made this and used one 15x17" pan. Bars were a little crispy around the edges, but soft and tender in the middle. These were unbelievable warm with the melty frosting!"

Yummy Chicken Taquitos

Date: 2013/08/15
"This was delicious but what a mess! The corn tortillas fell apart as I was filling them. If I would have layered it in a pan instead of trying to roll them, I bet it would have earned 5 stars. Because the flavor was there."

Fresh Baked Corn

Date: 2013/08/07
Comment: Mmmm, with fresh corn on the cob! Sounds sinful but also sounds worth it. I will stopping at the corn stand on my way home to pick up some sweet corn to make this tonight.

Garlic Roast Potatoes

Date: 2013/08/07
"The kids loved these potatoes. They got crispy on every side and were tender in the middle. I sprinkled with Lawry's after they were done baking and dipped them in ketchup. Perfect with burgers and corn."

Softball Cake

Date: 2013/08/07
"My daughter had a great softball season so to celebrate we went bowling and I brought this cake. Too cute!"

Traditional Chef's Salad

Date: 2013/08/06
"Made this salad for supper last night since we needed something halfway healthy the way we had been eating over the weekend! My kids loved it. Be careful, because it gets really big as you add the vegetables...mine was huge! I realized it before I dressed it and put half in a container for lunch today."

Light Ricotta Spinach Pizza

Date: 2013/08/02
"A friend of mine made these for us when we went over for a small Happy Hour. They were light and tasty. Olives would be great on this too for a little salty flavor."

Grilled Rib Eye Steaks

Date: 2013/07/16
"I liked these but they were a little too "soy" flavored. Nextime, I will half the soy sauce and I think they will be perfect. I just used a sirloin steak and they were tender and juicy. I also used fresh grated ginger instead of ground ginger."

Caramel Apple Pull-apart Cupcakes

Date: 2013/06/28
"I made these for a snack at VBS and all the kids loved them. Super simple to make, too."

Grilled Chicken Thighs

Date: 2013/06/25
"Great recipe for a quick weeknight meal. I do remove the skin before grilling just to save a few callories. It seems to create its own skin and thighs still stay pretty tender. I always use Sweet Baby Rays barbecue sauce."

Creamy Cucumber Salsa

Date: 2013/06/18
"I loved this, especially with pita chips. The cilantro and jalapeno adds just the right touch to this cucumber salsa. And the cumin was the perfect amount."

Baked Parmesan Tomatoes

Date: 2013/05/17
"Delicious! I think they will be even better on the grill with a little bit of smoky flavoring in them. Definitely will make these again."

Banana Carrot Cake

Date: 2013/05/15
"My family is big into carrot cake, so I tried this one out. It's a very dense cake, but even with the oats and banana it tasted very similar to the one I make normally. The cream cheese frosting with the banana was super sweet! We had more than enough, I would half this if not quarter it."

Vegetable Pita Sandwich

Date: 2013/05/14
"Delicious! I didn't even miss the meat since it was so full of vegetables. The kids had rotisserie chicken in theirs."

Rhubarb Coffee Cake

Date: 2013/05/13
"Absolutely perfect! I loved everything about this coffee cake and couldn't stop nibbling at it. The rhubarb mixture was the biggest pain but well worth it. Wondering if the Tastefully Simple Rhubarb Strawberry jam would work for this?"

Baked Pita Chips

Date: 2013/05/09
"Made these to bring on a weekend getaway along with homemade hummus. They really are as good as the ones you can buy! I skipped the Parmesan and added poppyseeds and garlic salt. Yum!"

Lean Egg McMuffin

Date: 2013/05/06
"My kids don't even know that these are good for you. I use Thomas 100 calorie English muffins, our favorite."

Egg Salad or Deviled Eggs

Date: 2013/04/30
"Simple egg salad recipe. I served it on a bed of lettuce for my lunch."

Yogurt and Granola Parfait

Date: 2013/04/25
"I use vanilla yogurt because my kids love parfaits. Each one likes a different fruit. Bananas and strawberries are a favorite."

Sauteed Mushrooms

Date: 2013/04/24
"SO GOOD! There were a few leftover so I chopped them up and added them to a burger for myself the next night with some Parmesan cheese. THE BEST burger ever. I will have to double the batch of mushrooms so I can eat the mushrooms and add some to burgers."

Slow Cooker Sweet Hawaiian Chicken

Date: 2013/04/23
"Great recipe! Perfect for those sweet and sour chicken lovers. I used a small can of crushed pineapple instead of the juice and it worked great."

Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan

Date: 2013/04/16
"Simple and quick. I love roasted asparagus! The flavor really comes out and there's nothing to it."

Tea Room Chicken Salad

Date: 2013/04/12
"Delicious! I omitted the walnuts as I am not a fan. Served it as lettuce wraps in Bibb lettuce leaves with tomato."

Steakhouse Onion Beef & Pepper Stir Fry

Date: 2013/04/05
"I added a teaspoon of fresh minced ginger to the sauce. I thought this was a really good stir fry. I had to cook the onions on the side since I had a non-onion lover - and I think they were actually better than if they had been cooked with everything else. They got all caramelly and brown and worked perfectly with everything else."

Ultimate Brisket

Date: 2013/03/19
"This was the first time I made a brisket so I was a little nervous. I made this instead of corned beef on St. Patty's day. It turned out perfect! Everyone loved it. I was nervous when slicing it after the 2 hours since it still seemed tough, but it became tender after that, didn't even need a knife."

Tomato Mexican Rice

Date: 2013/02/19
"Good Mexican rice and simple to make. I added green pepper in with the rice for a little extra flavor and color. Cilantro would be really good in this, too."

Confetti Spaghetti Bake

Date: 2013/02/07
"Great spaghetti bake. My kids did the iCarly thing and put it inside tacos for spaghetti tacos :) I liked the little bit of spice in the background that the cayenne added. I made this with the Garlic Bread with Dill."

Ultimate Cheesecake

Date: 2013/01/14
"This is truly the ultimate cheesecake. I liked that it was a little thinner than a normal cheesecake. I made it with raspberry sauce and had to double the sugar since the raspberries are a bit more tart."

The Tamworth Inn Artichoke Appetizer

Date: 2012/12/26
"Good appetizer. Worked well since I could make it in advance and just bake it up when I needed it. Next time I might try putting some spinach in with it."

Easy Peanut Butter Logs

Date: 2012/12/21
"I saw this recipe and had to try it. It was good. I think the peanut butter balls were a bigger hit, though."

Turkey Wild Rice Soup

Date: 2012/12/17
"A little sinful with the cream but worth the calories. Keeps in the crockpot on low nicely when serving a crowd."

Cappuccino Muffins

Date: 2012/12/17
"I am not a coffee lover so I was nervous about these muffins, but the coffee is just a hint in the background. The frosting is to die for, especially when the muffins are still warm. The perfect coffee party muffin."

Easy Mexican Rice

Date: 2012/12/13
"Good flavor for a side dish. I might try Ro-tel tomatoes next time for a little spice to this."

Saucy Porcupine Meatballs

Date: 2012/11/30
"I doubled this recipe, hoping to freeze half for a meal ready to roll...I didn't have even one meatball to freeze. Great flavor! They had a little sweetness in the background I couldn't figure out why but it worked."

Fluffy Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes

Date: 2012/11/19
"I loved these potatoes. I used less butter with these than my normal ones. I didn't need any butter or anything on top of these potatoes."

Mom's Cheesy Cauliflower

Date: 2012/11/13
"Love this! Cheesy cauliflower has to be made with Velveeta though. The mayo mixture was a little scary but tasted great."

Citrus Roasted Chicken

Date: 2012/11/05
"And here I didn't think I could make gravy! The chicken was so juicy! I baked it for exactly 1 hour 15 minutes and it was perfect. Definitely need mashed potatoes with this recipe."

Jack-O-Lantern Biscuits

Date: 2012/10/30
"Such a cute idea! I made these the night we carved pumpkins. Its a little difficult to "carve" the biscuit. Kids liked them with ketchup. Next time I will use ketchup in with the beef instead of the mustard."

Bacon and Cheese Omelette

Date: 2012/10/23
"These turned out perfect. My kids liked that they got to top their own with anything they wanted. Nice for mornings when people get up at different times to have ready to roll."

Caramel Apple Bars

Date: 2012/10/10
"These were really good bars. Perfect for the Fall. I added a little milk (2-3 T) to the caramel when it was melting to smooth it out a little."

Oven Roasted Autumn Vegetables

Date: 2012/09/24
"I loved the flavor of this. I served it with a roasted chicken and it was beautiful on the table. I used brussel sprouts instead of zucchini. Don't pass on the rutabaga...even my kids like this."

Simple Mexican Rice

Date: 2012/09/11
"Good Mexican rice. Don't forget the salt and pepper."

Garlic Roasted Cauliflower

Date: 2012/09/10
"Really good recipe. I passed on the pine nuts as they are a little spendy for me. Definitely will make again. Leftovers were great on a salad."

Spanish Rice with Tomatoes

Date: 2012/08/30
"Great with Rotel tomatoes. I used long-grain rice instead of Minute rice so I simmered on low for 20 minutes."

Cheesy Baked Ziti

Date: 2012/08/29
"OK. I uses rigotoni and thought they were too big. Next time I would use smaller noodles, maybe mini-penne, and double the sauce as I thought it was a little dry."

Mama's Mac and Cheese

Date: 2012/08/24
"This was really good when I put it all together! But I refrigerated it overnight and then baked it and it was dryer than I would have liked. Would have been best had I baked it right away, I think."

Corn Bread Muffins

Date: 2012/08/02
"I love corn bread and these muffins were delicious! Maple syrup and butter were my toppings of choice and it brought me back to elementary school. I halved this recipe since I would have eaten all 24 muffins myself!"

Sweet Corn with Cilantro Butter

Date: 2012/07/30
"Great way to create a new flavor for sweet corn that we seem to have so often when it is in season. I made this and keep it in the fridge just for sweet corn. It saves on my regular butter, too :)"

Baked Risotto

Date: 2012/07/16
"This was OK. Just when I thought it wasn't going to get done, the third stirring it had thickened up. It got a little sticky for me so I'll stick with the normal risotto. Definitely needs salt and pepper."

Cheesy Mushroom Meatloaf

Date: 2010/09/09
"One of the best meatloafs I've tried and I've tried alot. I put the ketchup mixture on the top the last 15 minutes of cooking. I didn't even saute the mushrooms and loved it."

Creamed Chicken over Biscuits

Date: 2010/09/08
"Delicious even with omitting the celery and mushrooms. Had apple crisp for dessert for a perfect start for fall."

Pasta Cucumber Salad

Date: 2008/08/25
"Delicious. I brought this to a neighbors for a BBQ and had to give out the recipe."

Taco Pie

Date: 2008/08/14
"Made this last night. I used ground pork rather than beef and I put sour cream between the taco meat and cheese. My kids loved it!"

Cracker Mix

Date: 2008/07/08
"I made this to take on the boat to snack on. I left the M&Ms out due to melting. Makes plenty, but goes fast."

Dishpan Cookies

Date: 2008/06/27
"While I was making these I thought I had messed it up since the dough is very stiff! Difficult to mix the oatmeal and goodies in, but after baking they were delicious. My husband couldn't stop eating them. Definitely need a big bowl for this batch but it makes a whole bundh."

Barbecue Snack Mix

Date: 2008/06/27
"I whipped this up last night for my daughter to bring on a camping trip. It was a piece of cake and very tasty! I used peanuts instead of almonds."

Asian Beef Casserole

Date: 2008/06/06
"This was very good. I threw in some celery, used chicken stock instead of water and served it on top of crunchy chinese noodles. Check on it after 1 hour of baking - mine seemed a little too done after 1 1/2 hours."

Banana Cream Pie with Pretzel Crust

Date: 2008/05/27
"Creamy and delicious! Crust was difficult to get in pan all in one piece but easy enough to press together. I will probably make in a 9x13 pan next time and just press the crust onto the bottom of the pan."

Mexi Burgers

Date: 2008/05/27
"Good flavor in the burgers. I used pepper jack cheese with it. I thought the Chipotle mayo was a little too spicy, but will make again with less of the chipotles."

Three Mustard Potato Salad

Date: 2008/05/27
"I made this for company and it was hit. I added a 1 T sugar to the dressing to sweeten it a little bit and used cilantro instead of parsley."

Mojito

Date: 2008/05/21
"I love mojitos! I usually use Bacardi Limon and Splenda. And I don't normally strain cause I like the look of the mint floating around (although they tend to get caught in your teeth)."

Peachy Summer Slush

Date: 2008/05/21
"Delicious. Perfect to store in you freezer throughout the summer for an 'after a long day at work' summer treat."

Slow Cooker Pork Chops and Onions

Date: 2008/04/03
"My husband and kids loved this. I thought the sauce was tasty but a touch too rich - probably would add more broth next time or maybe just water."
