Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Buttermilk pancakes with blueberry syrup

    • taste24 on July 01, 2022

      Excellent pancake recipe. Easy, no fuss combining and mixing. Added chocolate chips to our batter. Fluffy and great flavor! Did not make the blueberry syrup

      Agreed that this is a great, easy recipe. Definitely the fluffiest pancakes I've made, most likely due to the buttermilk and more baking powder than I've ever put in a recipe before. I made a double batch to use up some buttermilk. I also had blueberry sauce to use up, so didn't make the syrup in this recipe. Definite keeper!

  • Bacon-stuffed mushrooms

    • taste24 on July 08, 2022

      These were very tasty - loved the filling! Mine didn't brown up in 20 minutes and the caps didn't seem very well cooked? I had to transport them for a party, so kept them warm in the slow cooker for a few hours which seemed to help the bottoms.

  • Mushroom Swiss sliders

    • jimandtammyfaye on May 23, 2022

      Great concept- a mushroom swiss version of ham sammies. They are incredibly rich but totally delicious (perfect football food). I will make these again with adjustments to the recipe to reduce the fat and salt so I can enjoy them more often. 1)Instead of cheesy mushroom sauce, saute shrooms in a couple TBS of butter and then add to hamburger mixture. 2)Four slices of swiss cheese would be plenty for us. 3)Only use 1 tsp of seasoned salt. 4)Halve the seasoned butter used on top of the sliders.

  • Piggy pickle pizza

    • dgiles on August 12, 2022

      In spite of the horrendous name, this recipe was very good. I used a prepared crust and added very thin slices of tomato just before adding the cheese. I have some sauce left for another pizza and will add Dijon mustard for additional flavor.

  • Chicken pot pie

    • cookingbychapter on January 11, 2024

      This was good! Love a pot pie with potato. I finely diced the veg as per the instructions and I worried that I may have cut them too small, but this baked up perfectly. Would make again. Just used store-bought crust.

  • Hamburger Stroganoff

    • jwm on November 01, 2025

      This was so easy and tasted so good.

  • Sun-dried tomato chicken bites

  • Hamburger seasoning mix

    • jimandtammyfaye on May 23, 2022

      Surprisingly delicious! I used this seasoning in Mushroom Swiss Sliders. The recipe makes enough to keep extra mixture for other recipes, too.

  • Cherry chicken pasta
