Sour Cream Waffles

Reviewed: Apr. 24, 2011

Not bad for basic, very light and fluffy (I used vinegar). I added vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, and 1T sugar.

Yum!!! I used a pink banana squash, they seem to have more liquid so I had no problems with it being dried out. I didn't peel the apple, Ginger Gold. I cooked it covered for the first half. Sprinkled on some pecans for the second half of cooking. Made the house smell wonderful, used cinnamon and cloves.

Don't Knock it Until You Try it Zucchini Chocolate Banana Nut Milkshake

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2010

Really yummy and super easy.... and my kids LOVED it. I used peanut butter and hot fudge sauce though, but omitted the sugar. I also thinned it a bit with milk. Definitely a regular.

Plain Cake Doughnuts

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2010

Pretty good; my children throughly enjoyed making and eating them, my husband loves cake doughnuts and enjoyed these. I added a significant amount more spices (ginger, cloves, and increased nutmeg and cinnamon slightly) and used evaporated milk. It was definitely fun to start a new tradition on New Year's Day.

Beer Batter Waffles

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2009

Pretty darn good. AND I got to have the fun of shocking everyone as to the main ingredient. A side note... its a great way to use up beer that no one liked.

Easy Cream Cheese Danish

Reviewed: May 13, 2009

Way to much filling and desperately in need of an egg to help it set up. My husband and I love cheese danishes, so this year as a treat between his b-day and Mother's day (same weekend) he made these with the kids. Unfortunately I should have read more reviews before printing it off and handing it to him (and yes, he can cook). If you make this I highly recommend you cut back on the sugar, add 1 egg to the filling, and decrease the filling by half. Good luck to you.

Chocolate Pound Cake III

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2009

Absolutely delicious! Everyone loved it. So very moist and chocolaty. I used dutch processed cocoa and 1/4 c coffee rather than water and grounds. I baked it in little individual molds for about 30 minutes.

Cordon Bleu Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 5, 2009

Hands down the best way I've found to use up leftover turkey and ham from the holidays. I did not use onions, did add some onion powder. I also used some leftover stuffing mix as the topping.

KELLOGG'S* RICE KRISPIES* Spicy Raisin Squares

Reviewed: Mar. 15, 2009

They were ok, people looked at me like I was nuts.... as in why mess with perfection. Once they tried them they thought they were good, just had to work to get past the 'spicy raisin' part.

Nany's Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2009

well, it was ok..... got mixed reviews from my family, I actually thought it was worth eating so that is saying alot (I'm very picky). My daughter that wanted me to make cauliflower, she had seen it in the store, liked the sauce but wouldn't touch the actual vegetable. I was already planning on sub-ing sour cream for all of the mayo, but I didn't have enough sour cream soooo, I tossed in some cream cheese (I'm not big on mayo). It was very nice and creamy. I sprinkled in a little garlic and onion powder, and then topped it all with a few dashes of paprika for color.

Oatmeal Waffles

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2009

These were really good. Not heavy at all. I didn't have quick oats, only old-fashioned, so I gave them a pulse in my food processor to grind them a little, also tossed in the whole wheat flour. To insure fluffiness I took another reviewers advice and whipped up the egg whites, then folded them in. I added about 1.5 tsp cinnamon. Delish!! My 3 kids loved them, my little boy was talking about how they would make him "big and strong, like a coach".

Cake Balls

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2008

A mushy disaster. As someone else said, there is no way I could let my husband take this to work. It probably didn't help that as I was making it and describing it to my husband that he said, 'like pre-chewed food' I responded with 'more like post-chewed... hold-on, ewww'. Turns out that is what it is like. If you read many of the reviews talk about serving it frozen, well that was not an option so from everything I could try there was no saving this. For what its worth I used Red Velvet cake and cream cheese frosting.The only reason I'm giving it one star is because I can give it to my kids as frozen treats, if not for this it would have gone in the trash. So sad, I was really looking forward to having something neat and different.

Italian Love Cake

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2008

Bland, it just lacks a lot for everything you put into it. I didn't have a problem with soggy, but it was dry. I cooked it in a metal 9x13 and where the directions say 90 min, thankfully I took it out at 70 min. I did let it set a full 24 hours before making the topping and serving it. As for the topping... not good, just bland yet again (and not remotely close to mousse), you might as well buy the chocolate flavor cool whip, save time, money, and a dish to clean.

Banana Cake II

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2008

I looked hard on this website trying to find a banana cake that wasn't the consistency of banana bread... I do believe I found it. The texture was just wonderful and the flavor delish. Just due to the amount of bananas I wanted use I ended up doing 1.5x ingredients. So I chose to bake it in an 11x15 dish. Instead of sour milk I used yogurt. I also added just a touch of fresh ground nutmeg.

Watergate Cake IV

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2008

First, I agree with another reviewer that 3 eggs and 1 cup oil is just to much; I cut back to 2 eggs and 1/2 c oil. That being said does not change the fact that this cake is in need of help. I notice that many if the recipes that are giving it 4-5 stars talk about adding ingredients. I would say adding some crushed pineapple and maybe walnuts to the batter and/or the topping are required to make this worth your time. Also its a must to double the topping, there is just simply not enough to frost the cake.

Blueberry Pumpkin Muffins

Reviewed: Apr. 1, 2008

Pleasantly surprised at how good these were. The flavors went together wonderfully. Thank you for submitting something different and a little sneaky "super-food" into my kids diet.

Creamy Deviled Eggs

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2008

I don't like deviled eggs and thought I'd try this for my hubby's sake, sans onion and pickle. I actually ate one, which is saying alot. My husband liked them, so that is his star rating.

Gingerbread Boys And Girls

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2007

This recipe was awful; to quote my dh they tasted like dog biscuits. There was absolutely no spice flavor that came through, and yes I used good quality and fresh spices. On the plus side I chilled the dough for quite awhile and had no problems with the dough, I did find that it rolled out better using a small amount of flour vs powdered sugar.

Giant Ding Dong Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2007

Very good and fun to make. Since other's mentioned the cake being a little moist, I left it in a little longer. I made cupcakes for DH's work (easier to serve) so I chose to go with the Hostess cupcake look. The only change I made was to use milk chocolate for the topping glaze, note that I did increase the amount of chocolate. To get the filling into the center I used a decorater's bag and the long narrow tip. I used the ready made can of decorater icing for the swirls.
