My Amish Friend's Caramel Corn

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2009
Although this certainly doesn't need more 5 star reviews, I'll write mine in hopes it helps me remember and may help someone else a little when they try it. It turned out great in the end, but, following the advice of barefootlady, I only cooked 45 minutes at 200. In my oven, at least, that was a mistake. Even after cooling, it was so gummy it was one big clump. The next day, I put it back in the oven, at 250 this time, and cooked, stirring after 15 minutes, another 30 minutes. Then, I dumped it out on waxed paper, again, and it was just as it should be. I also took a little of discobunny's advice and used about 2 1/2 bags of Orville's microwave butter popcorn and added a couple of tablespoons of molasses to the Karo with good results. Don't leave out the nuts! It's all yummy.

Glazed Apple Cream Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009
As a breakfast apple pastry, this is good. As an apple pie, not so much. Used 4 granny smiths instead of 2, thank goodness, or we would not have known there were apples in there.

Mini Meatloaves

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009
These were great. Ground up the oatmeal in mini-food processor to disguise it somewhat from DH. Made in muffin tins as suggested by Catalogrrr. Thanks for sharing.

Pizzawiches

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2009
This might have been a better dip than sandwich filling, as it was a little runny for a sandwich. Pretty good flavor, none distinguishable. I know - it doesn't tout itself to be special; but, with all the reviews, I thought it would be. . .

Old-World Cabbage Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2009
Thought this would be better, from all the reviews. Not bad, but not a crowd pleaser. Added cooked brown lentils to thicken, which added a good flavor. Left out the celery, as do not care for cooked celery.

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2009
Made into muffins instead of bread. Used the idea of another reviewer, poked holes in them and poured melted butter/sugar/cinnamon mix over while warm.

Crescent Beef Casserole

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009
This is great for a different hamburger dish. I followed the changes suggested by Necia and made it into a two-layer dish in a 9x9 pan and cooked the crust somewhat beforehand to crisp a little - next time, I will not add so much milk to the mashed potatoes. Did not have puree, so used an 8 ounce can of sauce. DH liked this, and that says a lot.

Rick's Special Buttercream Frosting

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2009
This is awesome - very bad for you, but great tasting and easy to put together and work with. Used the suggestions of Joslyn H. Did not have quite enough cream, so topped off the 3 ounces I had with evaporated skim. Worked great. Used no salt. Next time, will use 7 cups of sugar.

Strawberry Rhubarb Cream Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009
This is wonderful. Did not have enough strawberries, but just used the pound package on hand. As others have pointed out, really does have to cool COMPLETELY in order to remain intact when cut. Did not use the egg wash and it browned nicely anyway. Used lattice top crust. Yummy.

California Grilled Veggie Sandwich

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009
This is a very good sandwich. Per a very rainy day, we had to roast the veges in the oven at 400. We did not have a red bell but used the green one we had on hand with great results and added some sliced portabellas which we roasted along with all the other veges. As only feeding 2, used one focaccia, but did not cut the mayo mix - thank goodness, as it was barely enough for a light coating on the 2 halves. After putting all veges and the cheese on the bread halves, wrapped in foil, placed cast iron pot on top and placed in oven at 400 to cook like an oven baked panini. We could not eat the whole thing - even cutting in half, it was enough for four. Thanks for sharing this easy, yummy recipe.

J.P.'s Big Daddy Biscuits

Reviewed: Sep. 28, 2009
These are really fluffy, big biscuits! Used butter, as did some of the other reviewers. Made a little early,so put in PAMed and buttered foil, as suggested, and refrigerated until ready to pat out and cut into biscuits. Very tasty; thanks for sharing!

Creamy Chicken Lasagna

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2009
This was pretty good; we enjoyed it and thanks for sharing. I sauteed a red bell pepper and an onion to add to the spaghetti sauce to make it more like my regular sauce. Covered for the first 30 minutes of cooking so that the cheese on top would not brown or burn. Next time will add garlic to the sauce as well.

Apple Betty

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2009
Like kathyd, I added more apples - just used 5 granny smiths and ended up with a little over 5 cups. Did not peel the apples, for nutrition - how healthy can it be with a stick of butter, tho!! My sis was here and, after everyone was done, grabbed a spoon to scrape the last remnants from the dish. I added more cinnamon and a little oatmeal to the topping. Yummy!

Marinated Turkey Breast

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009
Forgot the cloves and this turned out awesome! Used turkey tenderloins that were pretty large. Put the rub on and placed in the marinade early in the morning and grilled this evening to rave reviews from everyone. Thanks for sharing.

Big Soft Ginger Cookies

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2009
These are just what I hoped they would be. Used a whole teaspoon of cinnamon and 2 1/2 teaspoons of ginger. Used blackstrap molasses and forgot to substitute orange juice for the water, but they were great anyway. Next time. . .

Bryan's Spicy Red Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2009
This was very good, but we ended up having to add way more liquid than the recipe calls for. I added another cup of water and it still needed more. I didn't want to lose the flavor by adding more water and thought tomato sauce would do, but didn't have any, so ended up adding a can of tomato soup! It was good and relatively healthy. We did not put it in the blender either, but briefly used the immersion blender. Also sauteed some carrots with the onions at the start. Thanks for sharing.

Spring Strawberry Spinach Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2009
Wonderful. Used 1/2 cup oil in place of the whole cup and added 1/3 cup diced purple onion and toasted almonds. Made the dressing (just stirred with a fork), several hours before serving and sprinkled the poppy seeds over the salad greens just before adding the dressing. So good. Thanks for sharing.
