Made this the other day for a family dinner and had to make two batches as the first batch got eaten the day of the dinner. Family just raved about this recipe!

Cheddar Potato and Gravy Bake

Super Yummy! Made this with a roast beef dinner and was a huge hit! I used poutine gravy instead of the chicken gravy. Next time I want to replace the cheddar cheese with curds to make a scalloped poutine bake! I also tripled this recipe and baked it for 2 hours, and it came out perfect!

Very Good! I omitted the carrots and potatoes in the slow cooker as my family isnt big on carrots, and I was also making a potato side dish. The roast was delicious and tender. Huge hit!

Jamie's Cranberry Spinach Salad

Wow! What a wonderful salad! I love the sweetness and tanginess of this salad. I mixed all of the salad dressing ingredients together and let it sit for a few hours prior to serving the salad, to give time for the flavours of all of the ingredients a chance to mix. I also added the onion and cranberries to the mixture. This will be a regular staple in our household from now on!

Very delicious! I also upped the temperature to 325 degrees and cooked the 4 loaves for approx 1 hr 10 mins and they came out perfect! I added the brown sugar topping. It adds a very nice crunchy sweetness. Love it! The topping I used was 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1 cup all purpose flour, 6 tbsp soft butter, 2 tsp ground cinnamon and you can add nuts to taste, but I omitted the nuts. Just cream all of these together and spread over all 4 loaves. Enjoy!

Very good. But I also agree that this needs more sauce. I actually doubled the cheese mixture and still found I could have used more. Next time I will double to meat mixture and triple the cheese mixture.

Very refreshing! I will make this again, but I will add 1 to 2 cups more of water. I did find it a little too tart for my taste.

Slow Cooked Corned Beef for Sandwiches

Yum!! I made this in the slow cooker on high for 5 hours and it came out great! I did have trouble finding brisket that came with spices though. I found some Maple Leaf brisket, which I think was already in a spice broth in the bag, and used that. Slice it up, put on toasted rye with butter and mustard and YUM!!

No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

Delicious! I also added peanut butter cups. I used 1 cup of the mini peanut butter cups. I chopped each one into quaters and then mixed them in with the filling before pouring it into the pie shell. I saved 6 whole peanut butter cups and decorated the top of the pie with them.

Fresh Strawberry Upside Down Cake

Super delicious! I was surprised at how the marshmallows combine with the cake mix and you cant really tell they are in the ingredients once its cooked. I expected this to be overly sweet but it wasnt! I used fresh strawberries that I sliced into thin strips. Next time I will add more strawberries though, not enough for my tastes.

Honey Garlic Vinaigrette

Very good. I used Extra virgin olive oil instead of vegetable oil. Next time I will try vegetable oil as I found it heavy in the oil taste. I also will add more honey. Overall a great vinaigrette.

Maple Praline Bacon

I also love the idea of this. I followed the directions to a T and was very disappointed. As soon as I added the toasted pecans, the candy mixture turned into a solid mass! I almost threw it out. Instead I tried adding about 2 more tablespoons of maple syrup to the pot, and put it back on low heat. It slowly broke up to the point where I was able to spread it on top of the bacon, but not coat the bacon. The flavour of the bacon and the mixture together is divine. But next time I wont be adding the pecans to the mixture. I will coat the bacon in the mixture then coat the top of the dipped bacon with the pecans.
