Butternut Squash Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009

To Die For!!! I made this last fall, and twice in the last week. Everyone raves over this soup. So good and rich. Smooth and creamy. Warms you up on fall nights. I follow the recipe exactly as written. I always use all the cream cheese. I plan on making this as a vegetarian option at my Halloween chili party this year. I will be making a double batch though, because I will guarantee you every non-veggie will want it too!! I use an immersion blender and blend it right in the pot. Velvety smooth. :)

The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009

Just as the name declares... These ARE the best rolled sugar cookies! So perfect! I always follow the recipe exactly as written. They bake beautifully thick and nice, stay the nice light color without browning. My one and only sugar cookie recipe. Decorated perfectly with the "sugar cookie icing by JBS BOX" Christmas cookies will never be the same in my house again! So beautiful you almost hate to eat them! Almost :)

Sugar Cookie Icing

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009

This is the recipe I have been looking for forever!! When my cookies are frosted with this icing, they always look professional. I always get compliments, and even feel bad eating them when they look so beautiful! I don't change a thing. I use liquid food coloring without a problem as well. My only icing recipe! Christmas cookies will never be the same! ( I use "The best rolled sugar cookies" recipe with this.)

Simple Scones

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009

Perfect every time. I never change the recipe at all. I use my food processor and add dried cranberries and orange peel. I always make the orange butter to go along with the scones. I don't usually care for scones at the coffee shops, they always seem to be somewhat dry. These are perfect every time! A keeper!

Italian Bread Using a Bread Machine

Reviewed: May 14, 2009

Outstanding! I've made 4 loaves in less than 24 hours. Perfect every time and the family raves about it! Camping this weekend and insisted my lasagna not be without this homemade bread!

Chantal's New York Cheesecake

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2008

PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT! After reading other reviews, this is what I did. All ingredients were at room temp. I used 1 1/2 cups of cinnamon graham crackers with 1/4 butter for the crust. Greased the pan all the way up sides. I decreased the flour to 2 tbsp, and used a hot water bath. Baked for 1 hour at 325* then let it sit in the oven for 5 hours. Then moved to the fridge. Not one crack, and no browning. I am at high altitude and it turned out beautiful! My other recipe... gone to the trash!

Boilermaker Tailgate Chili

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2008

This earns a full 5+ stars! I wasn't sure about a few of the ingredients (celery, bacon, bell peppers, Italian sausage) but was I ever wrong! This is the chili I will be making from now on. I used to use a kit, until now, that had Masa flour you added to the chili. I liked the flavor it gave, so I may try that in this recipe next time! My family likes hot food, and as this recipe stands, we did not find it hot- it did have some spiciness to it though. For us I would add some of my fresh x-hot Hatch chilies to give it a bit more kick. Spicy food is different to everyone though so it is hard to tell someone exactly how hot something is! I will be sending a batch, which by the way is HUGE to work with my husband. One batch of this is enough for 3 meals for my family of four. Served with Fritos, onions, cheese and sour cream! Comfort food at it's best! Yum!

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2008

I found this recipe today and went right out to get the ingredients to make it. I used fresh boneless/skinless chicken breasts, Franks Wing Sauce, cheddar cheese, and Marie's Blue Cheese dressing. I am taking it to a party tonight, and after tasting this...I fully expect it to be a BIG hit. This is very yummy!! I even used the occasion to buy a new small 4 qt. crock pot that came with a travel bag! ;) This way my husband can transport it to work, because I know all the guys there will LOVE it! I can't report on any surface oil yet, but I suspect it will be gone before that happens! I'm serving it with celery sticks, Chicken in a Biskit, and Tostitos scoops.

Jalapeno Popper Spread

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2008

Very good! I made this for New Year's Eve for a quiet family night at home. It was a big hit. I added the bread crumbs, and I'm not too sure about them. If I use them again, I would just put a small amount on, maybe 1/4 cup. Too bad you can't deep fry the bread crumbs for that great crispy taste! This will be used often. I can't wait to take it to a party.

Best Carrot Cake Ever

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2007

This IS the best carrot cake ever! The one and only recipe I use. I get rave reviews everytime I make it, and if I'm not making it- I am always getting requests. Very thick, dense and heavy. Full of flavor. I soak the raisins for 1 hour, drain the pineapple for 1 hour, add 4 tsp of vanilla and have used 1/2 oil and 1/2 applesause. I make mine in 3 10" pans and make it a three layer cake. This cuts down on cook time, plus makes a great appearance. I use the cream cheese frosting ll for this recipe. Exceptional!!

Pumpkin Pancakes

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2007

Very good, thick pancakes. I added a little more sugar and a bit more spices. Delightful on a cool fall morning! They are thick, so if you prefer them a bit thinner add a touch more milk.

Sloppy Joes II

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2007

Great recipe. Not too sweet, and very quick and easy. I wasn't sure if I would prefer the ketchup to the tomato sauce/soup recipes but I do. Very good!

Egg Noodles

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2007

Excellent noodles for a homemade soup. My family likes them 1/4" thick. Big and hearty. I cut them into fun shapes with very small cookies cutters too. No changes to recipe.

Jamie's Minestrone

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2007

Your search is OVER! Oh my GOSH! This is absolutely outstanding! When I make this I double the recipe, making leftovers. This freezes well too. I made this for some guys my husband brought home from work. I was a little nervous about using the batch I had frozen, but it was perfect. The guys were still talking about it at work 3 days later! I make no changes to this recipe, perfect as is.

Cinnamon Rolls III

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2007

This is a great recipe! Very easy to make in a bread machine. I used a whole box of pudding mix as recommended by others. I think without doing that it would have been fine as well. They didn't last long at my house and by the next day I was getting requests to make it again! A true keeper!
