Chocolate Crinkles II

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009
So delicious and chocolatey! Describing these as brownie cookies is very accurate (and what could POSSIBLY be wrong with that combo?!). They are also so pretty; a beautiful winter cookie. I didn't make any changes to the recipe and I baked them for about 11 minutes in my electric oven. I will make more of these this month for sure!

Wacky Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2009
Possibly the best, most moist chocolate cake I've ever eaten. Easy to bake and good and dense for decorating.

Magic Peanut Butter Middles

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2009
These are just OK for me, which is disappointing since Chocolate and Peanut Butter is the best combination known to man, in my opinion. I did not make any changes to the recipe. I ended up with extra middles and about 26 cookies. It was too much peanut butter (I know, blashphemy) and not enough of a chocolate flavor. And SUPER dry - after eating one cookie I immediately needed something to drink. ::sigh:: the search continues.

Baked Potato Salad I

Reviewed: May 18, 2009
Huge hit at a BBQ last weekend! I used nine small red potatoes boiled until I could stick a fork in them. Left skins on, sliced after boiling. I used turkey bacon (12 oz package), shredded sharp cheddar cheese (~3 c), and 1 c of sour cream. I mixed it in a large bowl and left it that way! It was delicious as a cold salad. Will DEF make again :)

Irish Cream Bundt Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2009
I added the entire cup of Bailey's to the batter to give it an extra kick. Deeelicious, made this twice within 3 days around St. Patricks Day and it was inhaled everytime.

Carrot Cake Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 2, 2009
Definitely had more of the springy, airy texture of cake than. I was worried at first because the batter was so wet, more like cake batter than cookie dough. But I dropped spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet and sure enough they puffed up into cookies. I made a cream cheese frosting and created sandwich cookies - DELICIOUS. Will make these again for sure.

Banana Pancakes with Berries

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2009
mmm wonderful! I didn't try it with the berries but I'm sure that would only make it better. I substituted buttermilk with 1 c milk and 1 T lemon juice. I cooked over low heat, they cooked really fast!

Caramel Filled Chocolate Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2008
mmm so delicious and SO easy. I didn't change a thing from the recipe. I baked on parchment paper which prevented the cookies from burning and sticking to the pan (no leaks!) and I used plastic gloves when I worked with the dough (which I did refrigerate for a few hours) which kept my hands from getting sticky. I'll definitely make these again, and try using different kinds of chocolate candies in the center, too!

Beer Bread I

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2008
This tastes JUST like the Tastefully Simple Beer Bread. I made it with the substitutions self-rising flour suggested here. SO delicious.

Oven-Fried Pork Chops

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2008
This was a fast and easy way to cook dinner for myself (it was very easy to make just one serving!). I didn't have stuffing mix on hand so I just used some Italian bread crumbs, which made for a thinner coating but still enjoyable. I will use this again.

Toasted Butter Pecan Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2008
I actually found this recipe on another site when I used it, but it's the exact same thing, and it is SO good. The cake is very dense and moist. When I made it I made a 12x2" square cake. It was a little difficult to level with the pecans baked into it but I managed! I frosted this with from scratch maple cream cheese frosting and it is to die for :-9

Pumpkin Cake I

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2008
Oh. My. God. So dense. So moist. So deliciously pumpkiny. I followed the recipe pretty much exactly except that I only used cinnamon as I didn't have the other spices on hand. I made three 9x1 inch layers. So so so so so good. This is a permanent staple. You MUST try it.

Rolled Buttercream Fondant

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2008
I really liked this fondant! The taste is a TON better than Wilton's fondant, it really does taste like buttercream frosting! I also found it much less chewy than Wilton brand. I followed the recipe exactly. I used this to cover cut out cookies and it was very easy to work with. It was a little on the greasy side but dusting with powdered sugar helped. I can see where it might be a challenge to cover a cake with it as it is very pliable and prone to tearing, but with a little effort I'm sure it can be done - and I can't wait to try! ***EDIT: Last night I tried using this fondant to cover a 12x2" square cake and I couldn't get it to work out for me. No matter how much powdered sugar I used it would always fall apart when I tried to lift it, and I wasn't even rolling it very thin. However, it tastes AWESOME so I'm going to try it again on a smaller cake. And I'll definitely still use it for cutouts!

Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2008
The flavor was EXCELLENT, but I found it to be kind of thin and runny when I frosted my cake. I used this to frost and fill a two-layer 10 inch round and had a little left over. It held up well as long as I kept the cake cold!

Lemon Cake

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2008
I love doctored cake mix recipes. This gave a great moist lemony flavor to the yellow cake. It was not as intense as a traditional boxed Lemon cake mix, which is just what I was looking for. I would use this again.

Chocolate Fudge Buttercream Frosting

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2008
This is much less "fudgy" I think than the frosting in a can. It's a lighter color, and a lighter flavor, and generally creamier in texture. It frosted the cake very nicely and had a good flavor (although I prefer a stronger chocolate flavor). Made no changes to the recipe. Used it for a two-layer 8 inch round cake and had plenty to spare.

Better Than Sex Cake II

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2008
This cake is delicious! (Although I'm not sure if I agree with the title ;-) I made it into a two-layer 8" cake, putting slits into each layer then using caramel sauce and toffee bits as the filling between the two :-9 I didn't change anything from the recipe other than that. I think this might be a great way to spice up the from-scratch chocolate cake I usually make! I'll use it again for sure!

Too Much Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2008
This is probably one of the BEST chocolate cakes I've ever eaten and I am not exaggerating. I used the healthier recipe suggested by another reviewer, replacing oil with unsweetened applesauce, using nonfat sour cream, fat free pudding mix, and egg whites instead of eggs. It is delicious and dense and slices beautifully. I made two 8 x 2" layers, baked at 350 for about 25 minutes. I filled this with strawberry jam and it was divine!!
