Anniversary Chicken I

We were pleasantly surprised by the great flavor of this chicken. Initially, the combination of ranch and teriyaki didn't sound too apealing to me, but with so many rave reviews, I decided to try it anyway. Simple to prepare. Definitely will make again.

Awesome! I substitued 1/2 c. super-strong coffee for the 1/4 c. of hot water and 1/4 c. coffee liqueur in the cheesecake portion. I simply added the 2 tsp. of instant coffee to the strong brewed coffee. I also covered the whipping cream topping with mini-chocolate chips. YUM!!!

I made this for a ladies get-togeter. Extremely eye-appealing; huge hit!Everybody asked me for the recipe. I did use 3 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese instead of 2, added one egg, and altered the vanilla to 1 tsp. for the filling portion.

I've made this twice already, adding a few ingredients to the cream mixture to spice it up: 1/4 tsp. cumin; 1/4 tsp. cayanne pepper; 1/4 tsp. salt; 1/2 tsp. black pepper; 1 T. chili powder; 1/2 c. salsa and another 1/2 can of soup (I used cream of chicken). I added 1 1/4 c. of the cream mixture to the cooked chicken and filled 3 tortillas instead of 6. I then added an additional 3/4 c. salsa and only an 1/8 c. milk to the cream mixture before spooning it over the tortillas. Definitely a keeper!

My husband really liked this one. I used 1/3 c. lemon juice and 1/4 tsp. black pepper instead of the lemon pepper. I cut the soy sauce to 1/4 c. to lesson the salt flavor and used only 1 T. olive oil to cut calories. I also sprayed the grill plate with olive oil to keep the salmon from sticking. Turned out wonderfully.

Nice and crunchy--like store bought granola cereal. My kids love this in their yogurt. I cut the calories by decreasing the oil to 2 T. (I use olive instead of canola) and adding 1/3 c. applesauce. I also add 1/4 c. wheat germ and cut the cinnamon a bit for my personal preference. I then bake for 20 min. instead of 10 (stirring twice) and add 1 c. mini-chocolate chips after the granola cools a bit.

Great. Simple to prepare. I did cut the calories by using only 1 T. of olive oil and it lost nothing in flavor.

Even my kids loved this one! I did follow the advice of a previous reviewer and cut the chicken almost in half width-wise, placing the ham and cheese inside (like a pocket) instead of rolling it. Very easy and turned out delicious.

Awesome Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

I took this to a ladies function and was asked numerous times for the recipe. I used 2 tsp. of cinn. instead of 1; 2 tsp. vanilla instead of 1; 1/3 c. canola oil plus 2 T. applesauce instead of 1 1/2 c. veg. oil. I also added 1/2 tsp. nutmeg; 1/4 tsp. ginger; and 1/2 c. softened raisins (boiled in water a few seconds to soften). For the frosting, I used 2 (8 oz.) packages of cream cheese to cut down on the sweet. Perfect!

Awesome. After reading the reviews, I did cut the oil to 1/3 c. and may do 1/4 c. next time. I used part olive and part canola oil instead of the vegetable oil too. I added some chopped broccoli to the final product. I also made enough extra dressing for a chicken lettuce salad with chow mein noodles for lunch the following day--excellent!

My friend from NM swears this is the best! I make 8x the recipe, store it in a Ziploc bag in the freezer, & scoop out 3 T. per 1 lb. ground beef (plus 2/3 c. water). I make the following changes: cut cumin to 1/2 tsp., cut salt to 1/4 tsp., cut black pepper to 1/8 tsp., add 1 tsp. brown sugar, and substitute a pinch of cayenne pepper for the 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper. No preservatives...WONDERFUL taste!!!
