These were SOOO good! Even with all the changes I made to the recipe, these were amazing and impossibly easy! I omitted the basil, cayenne pepper, replaced the cream cheese with sour cream and the skim milk with whole, and didn't put the potato back in the skin. Sprinkled with a little cheddar on top, these potatoes really hit the spot! By the way, these cook great in the microwave (just cook the potato and add ingredients - it turns out so good!). I will definitely make these again - probably for company! Thanks for the great recipe!

I made this and brought it to a dinner party and everyone LOVED it! It was super good. I did make a few adjustments though. I added a LOT of extra sugar (the apples were off our own trees and are REALLY tart) and a little bit of nutmeg. Once I had slathered on the sauce, I alternated layers of raw sugar and oatmeal. This made it have a nice crumbly "crust" on top & it looked awesome! Thanks for the recipe - I will make this again!

I put in about two or three times the amount of lemon juice and I still couldn't taste it when I tried some. Also, no need for cake flour or parchment paper (if you spray the pan down well with no stick spray, it'll be just fine). I am kinda disappointed since I've been trying to find a good lemon or lemon poppyseed recipe with a good lemon flavor. The only thing that affected my decision was the lemon flavor. If you aren't a big fan of lemon and are looking for a sweet cake with a very light lemon flavor, this is the cake for you! I will frost one of the cakes tomorrow with lemon frosting - 1 c powdered sugar, 1 tsp milk, 1 tsp vanilla, 1-2 T butter, melted, lemon juice to taste, mix all ingredients until slightly runny - and it should be better.

I was looking for a white chocolate frosting for the Red Velvet Cake IV on this site. I found this recipe and made it. I read several reviews, and I followed their suggestion to cook the white chocolate, milk, and flour longer; when I took it off the stove, it was very thick. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but it turned out too thin, and I've ended up adding more sugar and some flour. Other than that, however, the flavor is wonderful, and I'm sure it will compliment my friend's birthday cake perfectly! Thanks!

I found that this made great cake batter that tasted really good after I added a lot more spices and sugar. I recommend you add spices and sugar to taste so the cake tastes better. Thanks for the recipe.

This was an amazing recipe. My whole family loved it and I will DEFINITELY make it again! I recommend this recipe to anyone who is looking for an easy, quick, and amazing recipe! The only modifications I made was that instead of using a bag to mix it, I used the cereal box from the Chex for a more sanitary way to mix it. I also added more powdered sugar after mixing the cereal and chocolate/PB mix because I found it didn't cover it all. Thanks to Nikki for the great recipe!

Wow - these were great! We had made applesauce from our slightly withered autumn apples a couple of days ago but didn't eat very much. Dad found this recipe this morning and served them to us. Definitely something to wake up to! The opportunity to add wheat germ and use up applesauce was great. The only thing to change... Mom wanted these thinner - they're probably 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, so Dad added some more milk. Beautiful and tasty nonetheless. Thanks so much!

The only bad thing I can say about this recipe is that it has too much of dark chocolate taste for me (I am NOT a dark chocolate person). Also, I did not put in the nuts because I hate nuts and it gave the brownies a weird taste. If I make it again, I will definitely add more sugar and will use at least semi-sweet cocoa. I would also say that this mix is even better with chocolate chips! Overall, this is a good mix - if you like nuts and dark chocolate!

I didn't try the cake, but I picked this recipe for the frosting. I was looking for something different, and maple frosting sounded wonderful on top of the applesauce spice cake I made. Instead of maple flavoring, I added maple syrup. Like another reviewer noted, the flavor wasn't very strong, so I ended up adding around five to six tablespoons of real maple syrup. I also used 1 cup of butter instead of 1/2 butter, 1/2 shortening. In my opinion, it gives a better taste and a fluffier frosting. All in all, the frosting had wonderful coloring and gave just a hint of maple flavor. Thanks so much!

I would probably rate these a three and a half. I was really excited about making these until I tasted them. Even though it took me only about 5 min. to mix, the end result wasn't very good. I doubled the amount of apples and cinnamon, which helped, but probably will double or triple the sugar next time! I'll most likely use a different recipe next time. I sprinkled the tops with brown sugar, which was good, but then the bottom lacked flavor. I will say this though - they're good IF you don't like sugar!

This was very good, even though I did alter it a lot for lack of the correct ingredients. Instead of lime juice, I added a bit more lemon juice than what it called for. I also didn't have ginger root or garlic cloves on hand, so I put in a little bit of ginger and garlic powder instead to taste. I also left out the jalapenos and instead placed peperoncinis on top of the salad, which was very good with tomatoes and peppers. Overall, my family said it was different but that they loved it. The next night when we had salads, my father requested the same salad dressing again over all the storebought kinds we have! Thanks for a great recipe. :)

I was looking for the ideal lemon cake, and once I hit this one, I knew it was THE cake to bake. My grandmother got us stuck in a snowbank this winter, and we had to call him to get us out with his tractor. I promised to pay him back in cake, and he asked if I could make lemon. I said, "Absolutely!", and immediately started searching. THIS IS IT!!! The cake I baked for the neighbor looked so good I decided to bake one for us. Frosting was excellent with fresh grated lemon in it. My grandmother screwed up the lemon filling by not following the directions to a T, but somehow it turned out, with a perfect curded texture, to boot. I completed the appearance of the layer cake by putting candy lemons on the outside of the top layer, making an outer ring, and then joined four in the middle, making a four-prong star. The frosting underneath I had swirled into delicate waves, and once complete with the lemon candies, was absolutely AMAZING!!! This one is staying in my recipe box forever.

I've tried so many different kinds of chocolate frosting, including storebought, and WOW DOES THIS ONE BEAT THEM ALL! It's very light and fluffy. I use a KitchenAid mixer to make it, and it's amazing. You can't help licking out the bowl! :) I would definintely recommend it for anything chocolate - I use it for cakes.

This recipe is great! My family asks me to make this for them all the time! I've made 4 or 5 batches of these waffles in just the past month! Instead of using only all-purpose flour, I use 1 cup wheat flour and only a 1/2 cup all-purpose flour to make the recipe heartier and healthier. Everyone LOVES these waffles!!!

This was the best frosting we've EVER tried. We really reccomend this to anyone who wants a quick, easy, and delicious frosting recipe! We loved this!

This was a great recipe. I made this with homegrown peaches from our peach tree - windfalls at that - and it was really good. I thought the almond extract was a little strong (I might halve it) but was overruled by everyone else who loved it just as it was. I baked it on 300 for about half the time and then upped it to 350 for 20ish minutes. It came out a light beautiful golden brown on top with some bubbles. Great presentation!!! Definitely will stay in my recipe box. Enjoy!

This recipe didn't sound amazing at first, but after making it I learned that it is GREAT! I didn't measure the cups of ice cream - just took giant scoops out of the carton and dumped them into the blender. As for the milk, I changed two things: I used 1/2 a cup instead of a whole, and I used 4% milk instead of regular. The chocolate syrup all floated down to the bottom and sat underneath the blades, but that was okay - I just drizzled it on top of the shake when it came out last. If it had mixed in, it probably would have been too chocolatey. I LOVED this shake - not too thick, not too thin, not too chocolatey. The best!

I thought this smoothie was great, but my family thought that the lemon was a little overpowering as the dominant flavor. I made three servings, and so put in three 8 oz. cups of yogurt - next time I'll only put in two. I still thought it was a great smoothie, though! Thanks for sharing!

This milkshake was pretty good. I had to add 1/3 cup of sugar on top of everything else to make it sweet enough. I made four servings, but they were really big - enough to fill a tall glass. Each serving calls for one cup of milk, and I was supposed to put in four cups. My KitchenAid blender wasn't big enough, (which is pretty big!) so I could only put in two cups. Very filling, however! Thanks.

I have been making bread by hand for years and years, but this was my first time at scones. I was honestly disappointed. The taste was funny; I don't know if that's b/c of the fresh blended cranberries or not. I'll keep looking.
