For what they are, an austere pioneer food, they are good - especially with additional butter and syrup (only pure NY maple syrup will do). However, there is a reason why this has been replaced by other cornbread variations as other ingredients and cooking methods are available now. On a hot day with no A/C I wanted to try a cornbread that did not require an oven.

Strawberry Trifle

Reviewed: Jun. 11, 2009

I made this for a get-together with another family. It was easy to make and tasted delicious. I used fresh berries because I had some in the fridge already. I would try this with blueberries and/or raspberries too.

Nana Dot's Irish Soda Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2009

This had a wonderful texture and the kids loved it. I did not have currants or caraway seeds,but for our purposes I think that just raisins was perfect. I think this bread would have been great even without the raisins. It wasn't as powdery as some other soda bread recipes are.

French Beef Stew

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2009

I made this for dinner tonight. It was easy to make and tasted fantastic. The kids loved it - even my veggie skeptic. Following other suggestions I added two ribs of celery and 1/2 a red onion. I will definitely make this again.

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2009

This was so easy to make and so delicious! I made it for Thanksgiving and decided to make it again tonight to go with my whole chicken. I microwaved my sweet potatoes.

Brooke's Best Bombshell Brownies

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2008

I had never made brownies from scratch before, but I was out of brownie mix and tried these. They are quick to assemble but are a grainier texture due to all of the white sugar - definitely not for those who like cake-like brownies.

My Best Clam Chowder

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2008

This was my first attempt at clam chowder and I was pleased with this recipe overall. Because we had bacon for breakfast, I followed the advice of some and sauteed my veggies in bacon grease before adding all of the clam juice to cook the veggies. I thought this thickened too much, so next time I would use only 1/2 cup of flour. I would also add at least one more can of clams.

KELLOGG'S* RICE KRISPIES* Wreaths

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2008

I followed the microwave directions, which were great for regular rice crispy treats. But this was way too sticky, even warm with well-buttered hands, to form into anything so I put it into a pan.

Pumpkin Bars III

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2008

These were delicious. Definitely a cake-like consistency. The maple and powdered sugar glaze is well-worth making also. I forgot to add the raisins until it was in the oven. I'm sure that they would have made it even better. I just remembered, I did use 1/2 brown sugar and half whole wheat flour.9

Tater Tot Bake

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2008

I made this a couple of times. It came out best - totally awsome - with cheddar cheese soup instead of the cream soup. I layered it just like the directions said. No left-overs left.

Moroccan Tagine

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2008

This was not the best Moroccan recipe I have ever tried. It was not very spicy or flavorful. I added cinnamon and it was a lot better. If you like a chicken and vegetable stew with mild flavor, this might be to your liking. Of course, this must be served over cous-cous for the full effect and satiety.

My Kid's Favorite Pork Chops

Reviewed: Sep. 23, 2008

As written this recipe was OK. I really liked the sauce, but the chops were not as tender as I had hoped. I might try it again in the slow cooker.

Asian Roll Lettuce Wrap

Reviewed: Sep. 23, 2008

We loved this. It is little bit like taco night. To accomodae my son, who doesn't like rice, I also made Ramen noodles. I must admit that I liked the Ramen noodles better than the rice, though they are less healthy. The dipping sauce was awsome. Don't try his recipe substituting powdered garlic and powdered ginger - it won't have nearly the taste.

Arroz con Pollo II

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2008

We liked this recipe and I will add it to our rotation. Like others I added additional water (1.5 cups) to help the rice cook. Also, I did't have saffron. Not sure if I can get it in these parts. This makes for a good weeknight meal.

Cabbage Rolls II

I liked them. The rest of the family tolerated them - liked the filling, but the cabbage is a hard sell.

Layered Enchilada Bake

Incredibly Cheesy Turkey Meatloaf

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2008

I had really high hopes for this recipe, but prepared per this recipe it took almost 2 hours to cook to a safe internal temperature in a standard loaf pan and made a big mess even with a drip pan. The taste was O.K. but not worth all of the scrubbing I will have to do, not to mention that we did not even end up eating it for dinner tonight because it took twice as long to cook as I had planned. To salvage it I scraped off the burnt top and used part of it for a casserole. I'm not sure what will be done with the other half. I hate to waste so much meat.

Easy Chicken Korma

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2008

This was delicious. My children, ages three and seven asked for seconds. It was easy to make and will definitely go into rotation as a weeknight meal. I served it over cous-cous. This last time I made it I was running short on time so I sauteed the chicken on the stove and topped with sauce and simmered it for a few minutes. It was at least as good as in the oven. I added half a green pepper to the sauce and added a cup of peas to the chicken. Served it with basmati rice.
