I used some previously fresh/now frozen peaches that I had in the freezer instead of the blueberries. I also altered the recipe as per a few of the reviews that I read by decreasing the sugar and increasing the milk in the batter and by putting 1/2 of the streusel on top of the peaches and the other half on the top of the batter. My family enjoyed this recipe.

I used 2 lbs boneless chicken thighs, 1 lb kielbasa type sausage and 1 lb of pork sausage links that were tomato garlic flavored. I did not like the texture of the latter sausages in my gumbo. I also added 2 lbs frozen okra. Flavor on first night tasted too much like the beer I added. I'm not a fan of beer. However, the next day, after the flavors melded. Holy cow! This was awesome! Today my dh took for lunch and he was full of compliments about the flavor. I will make again. Next time with the meat as indicated.

Absolutely delicious! I've made them twice. The first time I used a combination of fresh raspberries, blueberries and boysenberries. I did not have buttermilk on hand so I used 2% milk with vingear to sour. Sprinkled tops with sugar. My family thought they were perfect. The 2nd time I experimented and used half Splenda and half Equal in place of the sugar and also used Craisins. These were nice when they came out of the oven but became more dense as they cooled. All in all, great recipe! Thanks for sharing!

Updated since last review of 2005....it is now 3 years later and I made this for Easter this time. I used the Golden Oreo's with green food coloring added to the blend when processing. I put various candy on the top as you would fill an Easter basket. It's a great theme cake. I'm taking this to an Easter gathering tomorrow. I'm sure the kids and moms there will be as impressed as I am. By the way, many years ago I took this cake to a company picnic in a flower pot with a flower and a spade, etc. People actually put out their cigarettes in my cake! It DID win 1st prize at that event! LOL 3/10/05 review: I made this for a co-worker that does not eat sugar. I used sugar-free cookies, sugar-free pudding and subbed Splenda for the powdered sugar. Even without using sugar it was very good. It even passed my kids taste test.

Very nice change to regular mashed potatoes. VERY tasty too! Even my picky 12 yr old, who doesn't like cooked carrots, had seconds. I used an extra clove of garlic and really didn't notice too much garlic flavor. We couldn't taste the jalapeno at all. I think the next time I will try 2 jalapenos or maybe even a serrano instead (or in addition to). Thanks for the recipe!

Absolutely delicious! My kids weren't crazy about it but all of the adults (who were skeptical) loved it and even went back for more! Leftovers were still good the next day although there was only about 1/2 cup leftover. :) Personally I will cut the quantity of sunflower seeds used in half the next time. I thought there were too many and I am counting calories so it will save a little on the calorie count. I also used lite mayo and the taste was still excellent. Next time I might experiment with using Equal or Splenda sweetener instead of the sugar. Thanks for the recipe!

My skins didn't come out crunchy. Also, had to mix up the potato on my plate to "mix in" the salt flavoring. Was too salty just to eat a bite with the skin.

The flavor was good but the coating didn't stay on too well and I did use the cooling rack. All things considered I would make this again, experimenting with the seasonings.

My family loved this dish. I DID use 1% milk in place of both the milk and the heavy cream. The dish was delicious.

The dough for this recipe is very similar to my biscuit recipe. I made these just like I would my biscuits and they came out nice and flaky. I did not use the icing at all. I just kneaded the dough briefly, patted it out and cut with my biscuit cutter and baked. Really have to be careful not to overwork biscuit dough or you will have hard/dry biscuits. My husband said that these tasted like cookies. What a pleasant change of pace to my standard biscuits that I serve. Thank you.

My family really enjoyed this. Easy to prepare and economical. Thanks!

"pudding" part was kind of bland tasting.

I tasted the canned crab I bought before I put it in the recipe and it was not a strong flavor. However, after the quiche was cooked there was a strong "fishy" taste to it. Good recipe but bad choice in using the canned crab that I chose, I think. I used Egg Beaters (egg substitute) and it came out quite nice. I will try this recipe again using fresh crab or even shrimp.

Very good. I've even made these with less margarine and sprayed them with Pam cooking spray before cooking to cut the calories back some. Although they sure are heavenly just as the recipe tells you to do them. :)

So easy to prepare, economical and my family really likes this. My family won't eat anything prepared with soup. They eat this. lol I've made it twice now and do find that adding about 1/2 cup of milk makes it a little creamier. I also add frozen mixed peas and carrots instead of canned peas. I just throw the frozen veggies into the boiling water with the pasta about 5 minutes before the pasta is done. Oh & I have added bread crumbs to the topping before baking too. My husband agrees with the writer of this recipe that the canned fried onions would be good on top. Haven't tried that yet though. Thanks for the recipe.

We normally use olive oil mixed with basalmic vinegar to dip bread/garlic bread into. We added this spice mixture and found it to be an excellent addition to our "normal" dip. Am going to try this spice mixture on boneless skinless chicken next. Thanks for the recipe.

Excellent dish! Not a thing left after feeding 6 people. Kids picked out their "dislikes" but adults absolutely loved every last morsel! I did use summer and zucchini squash instead of butternut and cut into chunks rather than dicing. I also sprayed the bottom of my roasting pan with oil cooking spray (PAM). After reading reviews I cooked potatoes first for 20 mins and then when I went to add other veggies found that potatoes were already cooked thru. So I added other veggies and cooked for 10 more mins and then turned off oven and let veggies sit til rest of dinner was ready. Absolutely delicious! Oh & I used the basalmic vinegar and might add a little bit more basalmic next time. Thanks Saundra!

I often find myself searching for recipes with the ingredients I have on hand...I had green cabbage, red onion and bratwurst. Those were the substitutions I made. Otherwise I followed this recipe precisely and it was absolutely FANTASTIC! I served it over mashed potatoes. I'm going to go pick up some purple cabbage and try this recipe as it states. Oh & I was a bit hesitant about adding the 3rd tsp of salt but glad I did. Thank you grandma of Karen for this dish!

I used one pound of dried pintos, soaked overnight and then added 6 cups water, beef bouillon, onion and garlic powders and a chopped jalapeno and finished cooking the beans. Then I added the rest of the ingredients (except the can of black beans) along with some cilantro. Tastes great! I try to cook meatless once a week so this is something that I will definitely be making again! Served with cornbread and you have a hearty meal. Yum!

I did make some changes. This is a very versatile recipe and quite easy. After making the roux (flour paste) I added the 1 cup milk and 2 cups of the water, gradually, a little at a time stirring til smooth. Then I added the cheese (I substituted low fat cream cheese for the cheddar-its what I had), salt and pepper. In a separate pot, I used the remaining water (and added the bouillon) to cook veggies and then added cooked, diced chicken. I threw in some leftover rice, peas and corn that I had in the fridge. I then added the original roux (flour) mixture to the soup. My soup was not too thick (as some claimed) and you can do so much with this basic recipe adding whatever veggies you have on hand or some diced ham would even be a good addition. I served this with some fresh baked biscuits and it was a hit with my family. Thank you Rebecca for recipe.
