Pasta with Roasted Butternut Squash and Sage

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2011

We have made this several times and enjoy it, especially using pre cut squash. This time we creamed the roasted squash and onions. Better if you have people who would otherwise pick out the squash(me). We also always use evaporated milk instead of cream because of price and convenience.

Grandma's Egg Custard Pie

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2011

This is a lot like a Sugar Cream Pie that is popular in East Central Indiana. The best ones are from Wick's or the old Durbin Hotel.

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2007

We made this at school for a pre kindergarten class. Easy, fast, tasty and inexpensive to make.

Buckeye Balls II

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2003

Great. The kids loved them and had me make a second batch the next day. I did have to add about a tablespoon of water to the dough.

Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2003

My mother liked them. She said that they were a little greasy but worth making again with less oil.

Orange Meringue Pie

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2003

I wasn't satisfied with how the pie turned out. The zest made it bitter (yes, I know not to use the white part) and gave it more texture than I care for. 2 egg whites made for a very skimpy topping also.

Restaurant-Style Chicken Tenderloins

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2003

Not an exciting dish, but it was easy and I had all the ingredients on hand. It did make a big mess in my pan as the sugars carmelized.

No Bake Peanut Butter Bars

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2003

The taste was very good, not too strong of any one flavor. My only problem was that they were so crumbly when cut. I lost almost half of each bar in crumbs. I don't know if I did something wrong but I don't think I will make them again for that reason.

John's Crabby Caps

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2003

OK, I admit that I didn't really read all the directions first. I just mixed everything together, threw it on some Portobello mushroom caps for a meal sized portion, put it in the oven topped with Provolone cheese. It was so good, fast and easy. 11/03 i have made them a few times now and they have turned out very dry when they weren't topped with the provolone.

Turkey and Provolone Sandwiches

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2003

They were good, but not that much more exciting than a regular turkey sandwich. I don't think that I'll be making the effort to have these again.

Best Brownies

Reviewed: Jun. 30, 2003

I have found a homemade brownie recipe that is fantastic. I have made these a few times with and without the icing. Always great!

Chicken and Mushroom Chowder

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2003

Very good. I did have to increase the chicken broth and the milk. I didn't add the milk until the end because I tend to walk away while things are simmering. I also adjusted the salt and pepper to our tastes. I will make again. Totally comfort food.

Raspberry Lemon Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2003

GREAT RECIPE. I added a lot more lemon extract than called for (I love lemon) and sprinkled the top with sugar. Loved it. My husband even gave it 5 stars and he is really particular.

No-Bake Granola Bars

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2003

As easy as the No Bake cookies. I wasn't crazy about the peanut butter in it, may leave that out next time. Also rather crumbly. I changed the raisins to a mix of dried cherries, blueberries and strawberries. Very tasty. I will make these again, tweaking the recipe a bit.

Beverly's Get Up & Go Breakfast Cookies

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2003

These were too cake like for me. They had a good flavor but I more than doubled the amount of orange juice in it and iced it with a white chocolate and orange peel mix. Next time I will decrease to flour and increase the Grape Nuts. My kids did love them and they usually get tired of things after a day or two. Not this time.

Best Ever Popcorn Balls

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2003

Good stuff. I made a half batch and still got 15 baseball sized protions. That was plenty for us. I can't imagine trying to do a full batch. Would need a really big pot to stir it all in. Next time I will wear some sort of gloves so that I don't burn myself trying to put them together. These really weren't any more difficult than making Rice Crispy Treats.

Garlic Bubble Ring

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2003

I only used 1/2 cup of butter and that was still plenty. I am not sure what the purpose of the egg was. I don't think the end result was worth the effort or cost of ingredients. I don't think I will make this again.
