Elaine rated and reviewed the recipe Hot Turkey and Gravy Open-Faced Sandwiches

"been making this for years but if you don't like soggy bread then toast the bread, I also like some frozen peas added to this recipe. I do cook a 1/2 cup of frozen peas to add to the gravy if there is enough. Homemade gravy works so good!"

Elaine rated and reviewed the recipe Salsa Chicken and Rice Casserole

"We had a couple over for dinner last night. I used boneless and skinless chicken breast (meaty ones at that). I used a package Enchilada sauce mix which left me 2 oz. short from the 10 oz. required. I used Uncle Ben's rice. We had a salad with it. Next time I will have corn on the side. I did not have a choice with the less sodium in the soup and bean areas (too bad). Would make this again."

Elaine rated and reviewed the recipe Slow Cooker Three-Bean Beer Pot

"We loved this dish, easy and we have leftovers. I added Guinness beer also and I used Budweiser BB-Q sauce. A lovely smell was added to the house while it simmered. Hubby said it's a keeper!!! I may consider bringing this for a potluck too sometime later on in the year. "

Elaine rated and reviewed the recipe Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes

"I made these on Jan. 30th. I am not sure why it is called Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes as I didn't find much of a spice to them, maybe next time I will add a tad more pumpkin pie spice or how about a Spiced Cake mix. I made up my own cream cheese filling for them and sprinkled some of the cupcakes with the nut & sugar combo and some without as not everyone likes nuts. I would make them again they were good."

Elaine rated and reviewed the recipe Cranberry-Apple-Nut Bread

"This is a delicious bread. I just made it on the 21st of December. I read previous reviews first hand. Chopped the apple instead of grating it, used less sugar (2/3 cup),less oil (14 cup)and used 1/2 cup of apple sauce, 1/2 cup of walnuts and I did up the 8 mini loaves as a previous baker suggested.....everything worked out wonderful. A bread is usually heavier o don't worry about how thick it is, I wouldn't suggest watering it down. I gave 4 of the mini loaves to our local newspaper guy for his Christmas present along with some other baked goods & hubby & I just had two mini loaves for our breakie with coffee. A keeper!!!"

Elaine rated and reviewed the recipe Slow Cooker Brown Lentil Soup

"I recently made this wonderful soup for hubby & me. I have some of it in the freezer at the moment. We enjoyed it will make it again but this time around will add one more carrot and two stalks of celery. I did cook it longer & we had it the next day. The consistency of the soup was right on not too thick at all, didn't need to any any more liquids even when reheating it the next day. Great for the cold days. "

Elaine rated and reviewed the recipe Chicken Carbonara Deluxe

"have made this dish a couple of times with it the original recipe, adding mushrooms fried in butter to it once and it is a keeper! I can't see why you can't add some chopped up/diced veggies to the beginning process or add it to the boiling water when doing up the spaghetti, will try this next time around. I find that I need to add more than what they require for the whipped cream/heavy cream and the cheese is a preference if you want to add more or not, as I find it to be enough. very rich dinner/lunch."

Elaine rated and reviewed the recipe Hamburger Stroganoff Casserole

"Hubby & I both really enjoyed this recipe and this man was not a stroganoff lover by any means. I didn't have a problem with it being dry nor did I need to add any salt. I added fresh & canned mushrooms. Used Tex-Mex shredded cheese. I will definitely consider this recipe again. "

Elaine rated and reviewed the recipe Lime- and Chili-Rubbed Chicken Breasts

"Me and the hubby did this recently and we both loved it! Will do it again but I found that there was plenty of mix for the first good size chicken breast and was a bit skimpy on the second breast 9over a pound of chicken) so I am thinking next time for over a pound of chicken breast I will double the rub recipe. I took the advice and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking it in the oven. "

Elaine rated and reviewed the recipe Greek Beef and Orzo

"I really enjoyed this quick recipe, hubby did also. I was tired so didn't do up a salad to have on the side but we used up the broccoli on hand. I didn't have the stewed tomatoes so just used canned plum tomatoes added some diced up onion and it was very enjoyable. We will definitely have this recipe again and have shared it with some friends."

Elaine rated and reviewed the recipe Chocolate-Mint Swirl Cake

"I made this cake last year for Christmas dessert 2007. Was very disappointed, I am a good baker unfortunately the picture as appealing as it is shown, I personally had no luck in getting it to even look half as good with the icing design as pictured, argh........ I bet at least 1/2 of it landed up in the garbage definitely would not attempt this recipe again, sorry!!!"
