Sweet Dinner Rolls

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2009

Great recipe. I have used this twice for holidays meals with great success. The second time I froze them before the final rise so all I had to do was thaw and pop them in the oven the day of.

Absolutely delicious. I'd never made a fruit pie or even tasted one so I was unsure of how it would turn out. Since my husband requested it specifically for Father's Day, I had to try. It was perfect. I used a lattice top and let it sit in the oven with the heat off for 30 minutes after cooking. The consistency was just right.

Slow Cooker Spicy Black-Eyed Peas

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2009

These turned out absolutely fantastic. I made some modifications though by omitting the tomatoes and adding finely diced onion, celery and carrots. I first seasoned and browned some neck bones in a cast iron skillet and then the onion, carrot mixture. I used one cup of chicken stock and 4 cups of water and threw it all in the crock pot. Started it out on high for and hour and then reduced it to low for another 3-4 hours. It was SO good and was just like my grandmother from Mississippi used to make. Served it over rice and my Italian hubby and 2 year old loved it.

Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies II

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2009

I just made these with my 2 year old and they were absolutely AMAZING!! I changed a few things. I added 1/2 teaspoon salt and used all butter, no shortening. I also made it in a 9x13 pan. Perfect, not too sweet so soft and crispy on the edges. I will make this again as a birthday "cake" for my husband since we don't really like regular cake with frosting.

Grandma's Corn Bread Dressing

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2008

Perfect recipe to recreate my grandma's dressing. My husband, who has never had cornbread dressing before, loved it and so did my 2 year old. I added fennel and carrots diced finely as well and the flavor and texture was awesome.

Favorite Corn Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2008

Made this to use in the cornbread dressing for Christmas dinner. It turned out perfect. Moist, delicious, not too sweet. I took some of the recommendations and used less flour and a little less sugar.

Basic Chicken Stock

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2008

This turned out great and was so easy to do. I used the stock later for a Italian wedding style soup and it was so amazingly good.

Traditional Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2008

I needed a basic recipe for my first Christmas dinner. This was fantastic. It's best not to mess with tradition. Husband loved it. I served it with homemade mushroom gravy and it was amazing.

World's Best Lasagna

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2008

My 2 year old and Italian husband thought this was fantastic. We ate every last bit of it. All I had on hand was ground beef and it was still awesome. I also didn't have any Parm on hand so I used Pecorino Romano instead and it added a really nice flavor.

German Apple Cake I

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2008

This is the first from scratch cake I have ever made and it was fantastic. I trying to learn how to bake and also do something fun with my 2 year old during the winter. This is a great recipe for beginners and I already had everything on hand. Tastes so delicious especially the next day. It's definitely a keeper.

Whole Wheat Honey Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2008

This is the first bread recipe I have ever tried and it was so amazing. I don't have a bread machine but you really don't need one. My 2 year old son helps me and it's fun to do. I've made it about 5 times now and it gets better every time. I used butter instead of shortening and used about 1/4 cup honey instead of 1/3. I sprinkled some dry oats on top for a little something and it's just so easy, quick and delicious. Great for sandwiches and toast. I plan to never buy a loaf of bread again.
