Detroit Hot Honey Wings

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2012

Living in Michigan we had to try these. I made them with boneless/skinless chicken thighs and they were amazing. I just seasoned and seared them in a pan and then put them in a baking dish and poured the entire mixture of ingredients over the thighs and baked them for about 30 minutes. These were wonderful! The whole family loved them and we couldn't stop eating more. Thanks for a great recipe! This is a keeper for sure!

Candy Bar Fudge

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2011

Very good and easy fudge. I am not much of a semi-sweet fan but I followed this recipe exactly. Next time I will go all milk chocolate chips. It is definitely rich and also reminds me of a snickers bar. I think the other thing that I will do next time is add a little less nuts. They're good but a little too many in there. All in All this is a great recipe and we will make it again with the few adjustments for our tastes. I think this would also be great with almonds, pecans, cashews or walnuts or a combo:)

Pizza Pasta

Reviewed: Jun. 10, 2011

Great recipe that can be tweaked to everyone's favorites and it seems to be a real crowd pleaser. I made this recipe in bulk for my sons orchestra potluck and it was completely gone before we left for home. Thanks for sharing.

Bulk Venison Breakfast Sausage

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2010

Wonderful! The perfect amount of spicy and yummy! I absolutely hate venison but when it comes to venison sausage and jerky I am happy as long as it is seasoned well. This stuff is wonderful and a keeper! If you hate the taste of venison give this recipe a try. Thanks for sharing. We added 1 tsp of Caraway Seed to our sausage as well (hubby loves that stuff).

Chocolate Syrup

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2010

Very good! Kids loved it. Works best if you have a nice squeeze bottle to put it in. I accidentally added more vanilla than I cared for but it was still good. I will make sure to add the right amount next time :) Thank you for the recipe!

Canned Apple Pie Filling

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2009

The filling tastes great! I think eventually when I get around to actually making a pie from these I will add a touch more spice and possibly a touch more sugar but I like that I can do that later with this :) I think this is excellent as is and I really appreciate the recipe. I ended up only having 8 large apples so this made 4 Quarts of Apple Pie Filling and I just canned the filling only in the other jars :) Why Not? I ended up with roughly 2 Quarts of Filling Only (without apples). I will just use those with fresh apples one day :) I will definitely be using this recipe over and over again. I did add about 1/2 tsp allspice to mine for personal preference and my teaspoons of cinnamon were heaping :D I will update when I make a pie :)

Chicken and Biscuit Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2009

Yum! Hit the spot! I wanted something different and I saw a recipe for something similar to this but used canned soup,etc and I wanted something not using soups. This was it! Thank you! I enjoyed my dinner tonight and the only thing that I changed was the veggies. I used onion,celery and broccoli pieces instead of carrots and peas. I am positive that carrots and peas would be great as well. I was just craving a broccoli dish. I used bisquick and buttermilk for my biscuits and I replaced basil in this recipe with Mrs.Dash Tomato,Basil,Garlic Seasoning. I also cooked the biscuits separately from the mixture and enjoyed it this way.

Tex-Mex Burger with Cajun Mayo

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2009

I will update when I have cooked these burgers but I did want to say that the smell is AMAZING :) I can hardly wait to cook them. I am freezing these 3 days prior to cooking them on the grill to save time down the road. I did not change the original recipe much but had to for some things as this is what I had on hand. I doubled this recipe more or less. I had about 3 1/2 lbs of ground beef. I only had jar sliced jalepenos and used about 12 of those. I used 1 Cup diced onions,2 cloves garlic,and had no worch.sauce so I substitued 2 TBSP of A-1 Sauce. I also doubled the Cajun Seasoning for the meat mixture. I made 10 good sized hamburger patties out of this meat and had enough leftover meat to do something additional. I decided to do the following: I will be using leftover meat for tacos or a casserole. I added about 2 Tsp of Chili Pwdr to those and precooked the meat and allowed it to cool before adding to a freezer bag and we will either have it for lunch or I will put it in the freezer for another meal another day. Thank you for a great recipe! I just sampled the cooked meat mixture and I love it. It has a kick to it but we love spicy food! Just cut back on the Jalepeno if you do not like yours as spicy. MMM wish it was sunny and warm today this would be on the grill for sure! Thanks again. I will reveiw the burgers after we try those as well but so far I can't see why they wouldnt be just as great seeing as they will be topped with the pepper jack cheese

Sweet, Sticky and Spicy Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 5, 2009

Good recipe with good flavor. I did add garlic powder to my chicken as well. I would make it again. I agree that the chicken does need to be coated in flour. My chicken was not crispy but was still delicious. My husband really enjoyed it however the 4 kids mostly picked at it and left the majority on their plate. I doubled the recipe for my family of 6.

Rick's Special Buttercream Frosting

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2009

WARNING: It is hard to stop eating this icing once you sample it :D thanks for an awesome recipe. I love it! My Substitute for Heavy Whipping Cream: 2 TBSP Melted butter (then cooled to at least room temp) and 1% Milk (appx 4 ounces to make a total of 6 ounces). Used All Shortening as recipe called for & Added 2 tsp vanilla extract along with 1/2 tsp Wilton Butter Flavor. I did beat the Shortening for 10 minutes before adding powdered sugar and once the sugar was added I allowed it to get to a fine meal texture before adding the vanilla,salt,butter flavoring and Whipping Cream Substitute. I will update more once I use it on the cake and give a full review. This works great on the cakes IMO :) I have tried alot of buttercream frostings and this one is definitely the BEST! I will not use another. I am using it again today to go on my son's birthday cake. Sample tasted it and yum! Sooooo good! I did the same as before with the substitute of milk & butter for whipping cream and it works great! I also added 2 tsp of Meringue Powder this time. Thanks again Rick!

The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2008

Excellent! Thanks SMDAILEY and KELLY for the tips on using the parchment paper & the additions. I ended up using an extra 1 cup of sugar and extra 1 tsp of vanilla extract thanks for the suggestions. We loved them. I also added 1 tsp lemon extract to the dough. I may try orange next time as well on some. It is just enough to give a subtle taste to this cookie. I used the Sugar Cookie Icing recipe on this site. It is a perfect compliment to this cookie. Thank you so very much for a fun day of baking.

Sugar Cookie Icing

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2008

Great Tasting and Very Easy to Use recipe. I used lemon extract in place of the almond and just eyeballed the milk and syrup (I actually used less syrup I would say). It worked great and my cookies look so adorable. Thanks for the fun recipe.

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2008

Great muffins! Thank You! I doubled the muffin Recipe which made about 12 average size muffins. I kept the topping the same as written except used brown sugar in place of white. The topping is enough to cover a double batch. I also used frozen berries and dusted with flour. My family ate these up in one sitting. I am happy to reuse this recipe.

Chocolate Turtle Brownie Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2008

Oh Wow! Yum! Yum! Where are the bakers? I can not believe this only had 2 reviews before mine. This is an awesome brownie :) If you are unsure don't be! This recipe is soooo simple and looks like it came from a bakery! The pecans were heavenly in this. I did not use caramel as I was out but I drizzled Hersheys Syrup right over the top and it was perfect! I did bake mine in a 9.5 inch glass pyrex pie pan instead of the spring form pan and it baked for around 40-45 minutes and came out perfect. What are you waiting for? This recipe is a keeper.

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff I

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2008

I took suggestions of others and improvised in my own ways as well. Wow! What a flavorful dish. I thought that this was packed full of flavor and was delicious. MY ALTERATIONS: #1 I doubled the recipe keeping cream cheese and worch.sauce measurments the same. #2 I also added Salt,Pepper,Garlic and since I only had one can of golden mushroom soup (and I was doubling) I used Cream of Chicken for my second can. You would never know. #3 Added 2 Heaping Tbsp Sour Cream Add A Bullion Cube Add 1/2 Packet of Onion Soup Mix #4 I also used chicken instead of Beef. I cooked my cubed chicken in a pan with 2 Tbsp Oil and seasoned it with garlic pwdr, onion pwdr, salt,pepper,cayenne and steak seasoning. The meat was a wonderful compliment to the sauce and egg noodles. I definitely will be remaking this dish. Thanks so much for the recipe and thanks to those that gave other flavor suggestions.
