Fudge Brownies I

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009

Didn't really do it for me... followed another reviewers suggestion and added extra chocolate. Was really not brownie like at all, just turned out like a pan of chocolate fudge.

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2009

Easy, good... I used regular bottled ranch dressing in place of the ranch seasoning (didn't have any on hand) Very spicy, a good alternative to BBQ pork or chicken sandwiches.

My first time making ribs, and they turned out amazing! I used boneless country ribs, but followed all the instructions exactly. Thanks for the great recipe!

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds with Sugar and Spice

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009

When I was looking for pumpkin seed recipes after pumpkin carving, I wanted to make a few different kinds and this ended up being one. The first thing out of my friends mouth when reading the recipe was "this sounds complicated"- but it's not! Even the tradtional pumpkin seed fans who thought this sounded kind of gross really liked it! The only thing i have to say is really watch the sugar so it doesn't burn!

Bacon-Roasted Chicken with Potatoes

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009

Great basic recipe idea... I made some alterations. Chicken breast cutlets with regular bacon slices layed on top of them, red potatoes(cubed), cover the whole thing with chopped onions and a mixture of granulated garlic, italian seasoning, and adobo. Baked at 375 for about 45 minutes... bacon was nice and crisp, potatoes were soft, Perfect!!!

Zucchini Cookies

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2009

I love soft cookies, so this was a winner. Husband liked them, and he doesn't normally eat zucchini. Omitted raisins and used a little less cinnamon and added chocolate chips. Easy, delicious!

Easy Alfredo Sauce II

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2009

Needed a quick alfredo sauce for dinner tonight and chose this one. Amazing! I added a little cube of cream cheese i had left over to the ingredients, added dried garlic and some herbs, and used 1% milk. Me and the husband both thought it was great! Thanks for an awesome recipe... never would have thought to do this!

Sweet Bacon Dogs

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2009

I brought these to a party, and it took awhile to get people to try them- but once they did, these little treats were a BIG hit! I used lil' smokies instead of cocktail weiners, and i just threw the bacon wrapped dogs in a dish, and dumped the brown sugar over the whole thing. I stirred them well while baking, so everything got covered. GREAT RECIPE, i never would have thought to combine this myself!

Raspberry and Almond Shortbread Thumbprints

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2009

Good cookie! I don't know if it was just me or what, but i put one batch on a silpat, and they were completely flat and just ran together. The other batches i baked on parchment turned out fine...

Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2009

I followed the directions as given. I really liked the taste and texture. However, I put it on my pumpkin bundt cake, which I was giving to someone for christmas, and the icing didn't hold up well... it was kind of gummy by the second day, even though i had it well covered. That is my only complaint. If you plan to use this icing, make sure it is going to be used up right away.

Butterscotch Bread Pudding

Reviewed: May 27, 2008

You can follow the directions exactly as written on this one and it turns out amazing... but if you do make some alterations, it still turns out great! I have made several times and everyone loves it! Very sweet, though, so if you don't have a sweet tooth, watch out.
