SweetBasil

The amount of oil is way off. I barely used 1/2 cup. Followed other's suggestion for subbing Italian dressing mix for of Ranch. The guys are going to love this!

Loved this super easy and flavorful dish! Was a little hesitant when I saw the jalapenos, not that we don't like spicy. After reading several reviews, I was intrigued and dove in. Now I think we could have used even more of the peppers! Ha! Have to admit I used 2 - 14 oz cans of diced tomatoes = one with Italian seasoning, one with garlic and olive oil. I think this actually helped the dish as the sweetness in the shrimp brought out even more flavor from the tomatoes. Used probably 3 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic, minced onion and the dry Italian seasoning and oregano that others suggested. I cheated a little and added maybe 1/4 cup of white wine. I slow simmered everything but the shrimp until the sauce had reduced. Added the raw shrimp right before serving, and cooked them right in the sauce until pink - maybe 5 min. Sprinkled the feta over and we feasted with some crusty bread. My husband said it was the best shrimp dish he ever had. This is a keeper for sure!

I love Brussels Sprouts, but most of the family not so much. Since it was just my hubs and I this year, decided to make them with bacon. Wonderful and easy! Saved a bit of the bacon grease to saute in, and added a splash of white wine with chicken broth. They accidently got a little more caramelized than they should, but did not affect taste a bit. So much better than the normal canned corn or frozen broccoli and cheese!

I liked the idea of making the sauce creamy so tried this. Followed another reviewer's advice and just added the sour cream right into the sauce instead of layering. Cooked my pasta not quite al dente so they would finish up in the oven and hold their shape. Used my own pasta sauce and added a little browned, crumbled Italian sausage. Next time I would used more grated cheese, especially on top. Overall a good and easy baked pasta dish.

I chose this crisp recipe because I didn't have any oatmeal, and I didn't miss it in the topping. I used vanilla extract instead of almond, didn't have that either (we just moved and haven't gotten my staples built up yet ;) Followed some reviewers advice and cut the sugar back to 1/2 cup each brown and white. Also tossed my peaches with a couple of teaspoons cornstarch as suggested also. Warm right out of the oven with vanilla ice cream = excellent!

Tasted wonderful and comforting. My one concern was after 45 min baking, the egg/milk filling was still a little watery in the bottom of the dish, maybe from the frozen potatoes? I did brown them before putting them in the baking dish as directed. I used the cubed hash browns, maybe shredded would work better? Was serving this to a picky girl eater so did not add the green chiles, but that sounds yummy for next time. And the leftovers this morning were even better!
