yum... my only caution is that after you make these, you'll never be content with pancakes from a packaged mix again. For a fun kid-friendly twist, slice bananas into discs and dunk them in batter and cook on the griddle - you'll get perfectly round little fruit-filled pancakes that are great for snacks as well as breakfast (the banana gets a sweet pudding-like consistency) - make a bunch and reheat in toaster oven

Playgroup Granola Bars

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2011

great base for customizing with whatever you have on hand. I added trail mix the first time, and the second time added one mashed banana, 1/2c chocolate chips, and an extra 1/2 c rolled oats. thanks for a tasty, simple, and easy to adapt recipe!

Swedish Angel Crisps

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2011

followed suggestions of using cinnamon sugar and rolling dough into hazelnut size balls (1/2 tablespoon measuring spoon gave just the right size IMO) and they turned out beautiful. I usually chill my dough so it doesn't spread too much but this dough was fine baking at room temp. on parchment paper.

Spinach Chicken Enchiladas

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2010

good, but canned soup makes it a bit salty. will try tweaking it with homemade substitution for cream of mushroom soup next time

good and adaptable - I used dried cranberries and slivered almonds instead of raisins and pecans

Honey Mustard Dressing II

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2010

This is my favorite type of Allrecipes winner - something that's easy to make, tastes great (kids love it), uses ingredients you already have in the kitchen, and replaces a more expensive packaged product. I mixed a double batch up in a pyrex measuring cup and poured it into a clean empty honey squeeze bottle that I had saved for convenient dispensing. I'll never have to *buy* Honey Mustard dressing again - thanks Mary Ann!

Peppermint Bark

easy and tasty. I used the mini-chopper attachment of my immersion blender to break up the mints. Will make again next winter for holiday gifts!

Szechuan Spicy Eggplant

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2009

I'm giving it 4 stars because I modified it a bit to suit my tastes: reduced soy sauce to 2T, used Chinese eggplants instead of one large eggplant, substituted about 1/2 lb. ground pork and 1/2 lb. cubed tofu for the shrimp and ground beef. Served over rice and it turned out great.

Grandmother's Pound Cake II

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2009

I was looking for a recipe like the one my mom used to make to bring to a visit with a cousin who loved my mom's pound cake. This was the closest to what I remembered of the recipe she used. Everyone loved it!

Purple Plum Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2009

great use of the bushels of plums we got from our trees. Quick and tasty, not too sweet. Took others' suggestions of using the Flaky Pie Crust recipe and adding some blueberries to the filling. A keeper!

Basic Flaky Pie Crust

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2009

great recipe, I use it for making the chicken pot pie as well as for berry pies. Used a mix of butter and shortening for a bit more flavor. Easy and turns out great - thanks for a recipe that has helped me overcome my fear of making pie crusts from scratch!

Terrific Trail Mix

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2009

great balance of tastes and textures - not too sweet, not too sticky or crunchy, and my kids loved helping me mix it up. Made a big batch before our road trip and it was a great on-the-go snack.
