Cheesy Sour Cream and Salsa Dip

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2010
HATE TO BE NEGATIVE, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF SO MANY GREAT REVIEWS, BUT WE FOUND THIS TO BE QUITE BLAND. TRIED ADDING CREAM CHEESE AND HEATING AS SUGGESTED BY OTHERS, BUT STILL FOUND IT WITHOUT FLAVOR.

Honey Cornbread

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2009
Excellent cornbread! Followed the suggestions of several others and used only 3/4 tablespoon baking powder and added 1/2 teaspoon salt. Baked in an 8" pan, which required slightly longer cooking. Did not have a problem with crumbling, as some others have mentioned - maybe they are not allowing it to cool a bit before slicing. Thanks for sharing!

Crustless Cranberry Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2009
Some enjoyed this; some did not. Pretty tart - even with streusel topping. Used fresh berries.

Foolproof Rib Roast

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2009
Followed the directions exactly, with some trepidation during the 3-hour in oven period, as we were afraid it would get cold. Excellent, though, and enjoyed by all. Thanks for sharing!

Cake Balls

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2009
These are tasty little treats. Used much more than 3 ounces of coating. Made homemade frosting.

Pecan Pie V

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009
Wanted to try this because of all the reports of how bad corn syrup and these do not use it. They are tasty, but not that gooey yumminess we really look for when we splurge on pecan pie, so will probably not use often. Pecan pie is a special treat around here, so guess we will stick with the rare use of corn syrup.

Blue Ribbon Overnight Rolls

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009
How easy it was to get compliments with these! Love that they do not take up room in the fridge as most overnight rolls do. As suggested by many others, used 2 teaspoons of yeast and made sure the milk was 100 degrees when adding to yeast and sugar. Mixed together with dough hook. The next day, rolled out large rolls with buttered hands and placed in Pam-ed muffin cups. Covered and allowed to rise at least an hour. Everyone loved these.

Easy Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2009
Yummy. Added about 1/2 tablespoon cayenne, an extra garlic clove and used jalapeno salt in place of regular. Thanks for sharing!

Chocolate Oatmeal Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2009
Chocolatey (used about 1/2 cup cocoa) and yummy. Feels a little good for you too - used about 1/3 cup applesauce in place of 1/3 cup of butter and added butter to make the difference to equal 1/2 cup. Thanks for sharing.

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

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.
