"was first time i made a whole chicken in th crock pot. I used a smallish chicken and decreased the amount of spices but kept the onions and included half a lemon cut in quarters inside the chicken. overall, was really good. had it on low for 4.5-5hours. then put it in broiler for 20 minutes - think that was too much. should have put for 10 total. ..."

"I thought this was great. I substituted beef stock for chicken stock and also used turkey already marinated in a chipotle sauce. My DH doesn't like ketchup so he didn't rate it more than a 3 but I disagreed. Will make it again. Might try putting mashed potatoes on the top and browning it next time. Thanks for the recipe."

"First time making this recipe. Only changes I made was using a wok and cutting the chicken breasts into strips - more like fajita style. Unfortunately, DH did not like it too much despite our love of basil. I also used a past reviewers' suggestion and used 1/2 red wine vinegar and 1/2 balsamic vinegar. I was hoping for a much better result....but ..."

"How great! I was a little skeptical despite awesome reviews; however, I'm very happy to have tried these. I used 2 TBSP of Flax Seed, 1 cup of Oatmeal (Irish Brand and 1 cup of 2% Cottage Cheese. I also added less than 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 7.5 packets of Splenda. I also greased the skillet with applesauce instead of spray (didn't h..."

"Not sure what I did wrong. DH and I didn't think it was too tasty. The only substitutions I made was to use shallots instead of onions and to omit the cheddar cheese. I also used yogurt instead of the sour cream. Overall, was a bit bland for our taste; however, I liked the parmesan crunch. Sorry, can't rate this higher."

"Great way to use leftover rice from Christmas dinner! I actually used 2 day old rice from a Chinese place nearby. It worked wonders but I think it was a bit too sweet with 1/2 cup of sugar. Next time, I'll use 1/4 cup and made a binch more. I also left out the nutmeg and vanilla (by choice. Thanks for the recipe. :"

"I made this for the first time and it came out fairly well. Very festive looking and fresh (I used fresh green beans. I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt (didn't have any on hand. I also used dried basil and mixed it all up with some penne pasta and locatelli grated cheese. Overall, I would suggest adding measurements for salt and cuttin..."

"This was definitely simple for a newbie like me and good overall. I added fresh cut onions that I sauteed before adding the turkey. I didn't have sour cream so I substituted Greek yogurt and I substituted canned turkey gravy instead of brown gravy mix. I also added in a little Onion soup mix (I wouldn't do that again. Overall, I found that I need..."

"This was a great recipe.....Thank you so much. Unfortunately, I used some beef chunk instead of round steak and had to simmer it for 1.5 hours. However, it was the BEST!! I recommend it highly if you are using a denser meat. Also, I added about 1 tablespoon of garlic salt with parsley AND some boiled broccoli. I also served it over jasmine rice. F..."

"This soup was good but unfortunately I didn't find it to be wonderful. Perhaps because I substituted vegetable barley soup by Progresso instead of the recommended minestrone. I also included a frozen mixed vegetable mix by Bird's eye that had a tomato sauce. Also, I added some chili powder to spice it up as suggested by other reviewers. Overall, I..."
