Meagan Kellermann-Brown Ratings & Reviews 9 Slow Cooker Pozole 03/31/2017 This was absolutely delicious, but as always I made a few changes. First, I never add water to a soup. All it does is reduce the natural flavors of the dish. Unfortunately, though I didn't read the recipe before I went to the store so I didn't intentionally grab a broth for this soup; I had to go with what I already had in my pantry. I used one whole box of Swanson chicken broth and a half of a box of Swanson vegetable broth, and I don't regret it. So good. I also used Old El Paso Enchilada sauce: one can spicy and one can mild, because my six year old can handle a little bit of heat, but not a ton--go completely mild for kids who are sensitive to heat, though. This was on the verge of still being too spicy. Lastly, because canned sauces like Old El Paso and broths like Swanson already add a ton of salt to their products, I did not add any salt. Trust me, it didn't need it. This recipe was really easy to throw together in the morning and tasted great. Yellow corn tortillas and fresh avocados cool down the dish a little and taste wonderful. Will 100% make this again.

Husband said its one of his favorite meals that I've made, and I was very happy with how it turned out as well. Boiled some spaetzle and made creamed spinach with a German white wine and listened to some German folk music. Fun culture night for the family. Helpful (0) Creamed Spinach 09/22/2016 Very good. I forgot to add the nutmeg to it, but found the taste was still top. Husband, who doesn't like spinach, devoured this. Had three servings. Helpful (0) Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings 03/20/2016 I did have to make many changes, which is why I rated it as okay. I added carrots and celery to give the dish some vegetables; it seriously needed them. I also subbed chicken broth for water; water would have just diluted the flavor. Lastly, I added pepper for taste and a roux to thicken it up. If I hadn't added the roux, it would have been a watery mess. Next time, I think I'll use a low sodium chicken broth to try and dumb down the salt even more. If that doesn't work, my only thought would be to make my own cream of chicken soup--canned soup are made up of nothing but salt--but that starts making this recipe more complicated than a slow cooker recipe should be. Helpful (0) Bread Pudding 02/07/2016 I had my 5 year old son help me make this. It was easy and a lot of fun. It turned out just perfect. We used day old Italian bread from the bakery and semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of raisins. We didn't change anything else about the recipe. It was perfect! My son just loved it. Helpful (0) Cabbage Fat-Burning Soup 01/19/2016 The strength of this recipe is just how much you can do to it to change the flavor. We added three bay leaves to the batch and some Cajun seasoning. I was a little concerned with the lack of protein in the recipe, so I threw in edamame, which was a great choice. Remember, you can add as many seasoning as you want without adding calories. Helpful (0) Baked Teriyaki Chicken 12/11/2014 I didn't change anything about this recipe except that I used chicken breasts and low sodium soy sauce. I used a digital meat thermometer to monitor the temperature until perfect. I made sure to baste it every ten minutes and it took about 40 minutes to bring it to temperature. With brown rice and sesami seed oil roasted veggies, it was a good healthy dinner. Helpful (0) Toads in the Hole I 10/25/2014 This recipe added a lot of room for creativity, it's inexpensive and easy. Because I have no idea where I could get a high quality sausage without some kind of Italian or breakfast flavoringz--I certainly didn't want it to taste like either of those things, I chose a bratwurst. I added some cheddar cheese and a teaspoon of salt theb let it sit out for 20 minutes while I browned the sausage in the oven, 450F, ten minutes each side. I then poured the batter over the sausages and turned the oven down to 400F, baking it for 25 minutes. The flavor was really good; my three year old loved it. I served it like a summer brat with mustard and katchup. I would totally try this again in a smaller pan and if I could find another kind of sausage, with gravy, etc. Helpful (0) Tasty Baked Mac and Cheese 06/16/2014 I liked this recipe and will make it again, but I will not put in the cayenne next time. My three year old didn't enjoy it as much as he would have otherwise. He agreed that he liked it enough to do it again, but said "Next time don't put pepperoni (pepper). Only for Pizza." So yeah, out of the mouth of babes, no cayenne. Helpful (6)
