Barbecue Beef Cups
These were absolutely fantastic! The recipe makes more than I thought it would, and the cups are very filling. I was also very impressed with how well the cups physically held together. Once they had cooled, you could just pick them up and bite right into them. I used Grands Flaky Layer biscuits, which I split in half. You definitely need to flatten them out though after separating. For the last two, I thought I'd just use a whole biscuit. They turned out fine, but there was way too much bread that way. I'm a bread person, but it is better to only use half a biscuit. I also put the cheese on (accidentally) before the initial bake, but it turned out just fine--and made it even easier on me! In the meat mixture, I used fresh onions, which I cooked with the browning meat, and a sprinkle of garlic powder. The only BBQ sauce I had on hand wasn't a very good one, so I had to play with it a little adding brown sugar and worchestershire, but that was all jsut to my own personal tastes. Overall, this is a WINNER! Thanks for the great recipe--it is going into regular rotation in our home :)

World's Best Lasagna
This was DELICIOUS! The 4 adults who ate it all give it 5 stars, with comments like "the is the best lasagna I have ever had" over and over. I followed the recipe ingredients exactly, except I omitted the extra salt. Fisrt time I have ever used fresh parsley too, and I think it made a huge difference. I did my layers based on the size of the pan, and I ended up with no extra sauce. As for noodles, I used about 4 noodles per layer. The trick is to just make sure there is one solid layer without overlapping the noodles. I also went ahead and got fennel seed for this (another thing I have never used). I had to buy a brand name spice because it isn't that popular, and it was $3.99 for the bottle. Seems like a lot, but now I have it and I will be using it again at least in this recipe! Go ahead and spring for it--the combination of spices is what makes this so good. I had difficulty finding the SWEET sausage too. I finally found it in links by the ground sausage. It was super easy to slice the casings and pop it out though.

Peanut Butter Cornflake Crunch Bars
This recipe is exactly like the ones I used to eat in our middle school cafeteria (bought for a dime apiece). Based on other reviews, I doubled all ingredients except the cornflakes, and they turned out perfectly. I used a large plastic bowl for mixing, and just tossed the flakes with the syrup using 2 wooden spoons. Easy breezy!
