Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2009
These are pretty good, but then any cookie that features a Reese's PB cup as the star is going to be pretty good! The cookie part tasted a little bit "doughy" to me although it was cooked entirely, which is why I only gave it 4 stars. They are very cute cookies.

Rich Chocolate Frosting

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2009
WOW! This is SO GOOD! I would give it more stars if I could. "Rich" is probably an understatement. It is super fudgey and delicious. I made 1/2 the recipe and it was still WAY too much for an 8 inch, 2 layer cake, even with the frosting super thick. I saved the leftover frosting to try on brownies.

Aunt Mary's Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2009
This was just okay. I attempted to make this cake into a layer cake. It did NOT work. I thoroughly greased the pans, but when I attempted to take the first layer out of the pan, the top of the cake came out while the bottom of the cake stayed firmly planted in the pan. Not good. It was a good opportunity to taste the cake at least. :o) The cake was nothing special. The texture was a bit spongey and it did not taste overly chocolatey. So putting aside the fact that the cake crumbled, I just did not really like the cake all that much either. Oh well.

Sweet Dinner Rolls

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
These rolls are AWESOME. I have made these probably 5 times now, each time with bread flour instead of all purpose flour. Last night for the first time, I made them with all purpose flour. They were SIGNIFICANTLY better with bread flour. Much lighter and fluffier. I have made them as cloverleafs (36 balls, 3 balls per cupcake cup) and also as sandwich rolls. I add the butter to the top of each ball when doing cloverleafs, and left it off entirely for the sandwich rolls. Once formed, I leave them to rise for an hour. They also rise a lot when baking, so make sure they are not too close to the heat source or you may scorch the tops.

Ice Cream Scones

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
Shockingly bad results! The dough was VERY difficult to work with. They smelled delightful while they were cooking. The end result- did not taste AT ALL! Really, no flavor whatsoever.

Cheese Herb Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2009
This is a nice, savory bread. After seeing other reviews about the bread rising too high, I scaled back the yeast. I used 1 tsp. instead of 1 tbsp. It worked well. I might try it with 1 1/2 tsp. next time- I think that would be perfect. I only had dried herbs. This would be SO much better with fresh herbs! I might add an extra tablespoon of parmesan cheese next time.

Best Bread Machine Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2009
This DID NOT work for me. I followed the directions precisely and ended up with a lumpy loaf that did not rise (made with brand new yeast). This is the 5th bread machine recipe I have tried and was the only one that did not rise. The loaf ended up being dense with a crunchy crust. I have already thrown this recipe away. :(

Grandma Johnson's Scones

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2009
I cut the recipe in half and used frozen blueberries instead of raisins, about 3/4 cup. I also added coarse sugar to the tops of the scones. I baked the scones in a cast iron "scone pan" in the oven. This cooking method added about 20 minutes to the cook time. My husband prefers the more crumbly, shortbread-like scones. While these were delicious, the texture was more cake-like.

Amy's Delicious Turkey Burgers

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2009
Very tasty. I used ground chicken instead of turkey, and I used cajun seasoning instead of the pepper flakes. For the crackers, I used reduced fat white cheddar cheese its. I would recommend a meat thermometer to determine when these are cooked. I cut one in half and even then had a hard time determining whether it was done!

Irish Brown Soda Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009
Just okay per my Irish hubby. This is a SUPER dense recipe, as are many Irish breads. I don't think I will be asked to make this one again.

Slow Cooker Turkey Breast

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2009
Well, the flavor was good but it ended up overcooked. :( I knew the turkey would be in longer than the specified recipe time, but my turkey was 7 pounds and I left it on the low setting only. I hoped that it would balance. No. If you work an 8 hour day like I do, this is probably not a good recipe to try on a work day. Mine was probably in about 9 hours on low. Oh well. It will be fine for turkey salad.

Amish Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2009
YUMMY! This was my first attempt at bread and it came out wonderful. So easy too. I had to add about 3 tablespoons of flour because the dough was pretty sticky, but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly.

Chocolate Dipped Apples

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2009
SO easy and the apples came out looking "professional." I used a 24 ounce bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. I had enough to make 13 small-ish apples. Of course, after you roll the apples in various toppings, the apples look HUGE! :o) I made a variety- macadamia, pecan, coconut, heath, and plain. No problems at all with the toppings sticking. I did have to let them sit overnight to harden before wrapping them up. These will be perfect for the fundraiser we are doing. Thanks!

Meatball Sandwich

Reviewed: Sep. 17, 2009
We found these meatballs to be rather bland. I used very lean ground meat (93/7), maybe that made a difference??? I followed the recipe precisely. Nothing special.

Turkey Scallopini

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2009
Very tasty! I used thin sliced chicken breasts to make this instead of turkey and it turned out quite delicious. I also used Italian bread crumbs. I omitted the butter and used cooking spray in the pan. The coating was nice and crisp and it had a very nice flavor.

Baked French Fries I

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2009
YUMMY! My family thought these were fantastic. Simple, easy, but with very good flavor. I saw a bunch of the other reviews that suggested changing the cooking time and temperature. As such, I baked them at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. When they did not look even CLOSE to being done, I turned the temperature up to 450 degrees for an additional 20 minutes. After that, I broiled them on high for an additional minute or so just to crisp them up a bit. That worked out perfectly. They could not have been any tastier.

Parmesan Herb Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2009
Very good! I used 2 egg whites instead of butter and scaled the recipe for 4 servings. I also used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cooked for 30 minutes at 400 degrees. The coating crisped up nicely and the flavor was delicious.

Turkey Tenderloins

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2009
I am not a fan of mustard so I was a bit skeptical in that it was one of only 3 ingredients for the marinade. But this was pretty good! I marinated the turkey overnight. The rosemary came across really strong, so I might try it again with a different spice. You cannot beat the simplicity of this recipe.
