Autumn Cheesecake

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2011

This was great! I doubled the crust and cream cheese mixture. I'm glad I did, because otherwise it would be a very short cheesecake. I baked it a few minutes longer than stated here, because of the extra filling, until the temperature in the middle registered 160 degrees. Chilled it overnight and it was absolutely perfect the next day. Will make again.

Cream Corn Like No Other

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2011

This was delicious and the whole family loved it. Someone eating with us said it tastes like some creamed corn from a famous BBQ place in Texas. I skipped the parmesan and didn't miss it.

Ultimate Twice Baked Potatoes

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2011

These really are excellent. I've found that using a melon baller makes easy work of scooping out the potato without damaging the skins. I use less milk than called for, as it gets too mushy. These are requested often by my family!

Simple Scones

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2011

Excellent! I added extra sugar because we like them a bit sweeter. I've made plain, blueberry/lemon, and cranberry/orange/walnut scones and they were all delicous. I always keep a stick of butter in the freezer now just for this recipe.

Winter Fruit Salad with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2011

Everyone went crazy for this. It was a new addition to our New Year's Day meal, but we will certainly make it again soon. We added a little bit extra sugar to the dressing and subbed pecans for cashews. Delicious!

Winter Fruit Salad with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2011

This was a new addition to our New Year's Day meal, and it was fabulous. I made it exactly as written, except for substituting toasted pecans for the cashews and adding a bit of extra sugar to the dressing. At first, a few people looked a bit skeptical and only put a little bit on their plate, but absolutely EVERYONE had seconds. It was a huge hit and I will certainly be making it again.

A Little Country Pumpkin Cake

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2010

Wow! I am so glad I made this cake! I baked this in a bundt pan, but wasn't sure there would be enough batter since the recipe suggested using one 10-inch cake pan. However, it was most certainly a full-size cake. It was great just a couple of hours after I made it, but the texture changed and made it even better after several hours longer. For this reason, I will bake this several hours ahead of time in the future. I have to admit that I used a variation of Naples' glaze instead of the icing in the recipe (maybe this had an effect on the resulting texture change?), but it would be terrific with a cream cheese frosting as well. I used cream instead of half&half in the glaze (Naples' recipe) and used quite a bit more than a dribble. But after I brushed it on the cake, it really soaked in and definitely added something special. PS. I omitted the raisins and didn't miss a thing.

No Bake Cookies I

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2010

The recipe with 3 T of cocoa powder is much better. Or just use this recipe, with less cocoa.

No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2010

This is a FROZEN pie. It stays in your freezer the whole time. Don't put it in your refrigerator! That being said, it was wonderful! I cut the recipe in half because I didn't need 2 pies, but it went so fast we could have used another! Next time I'll make 2, and my kids have requested it this week. I used a chocolate graham crust and added in crushed peanut butter cups. It tasted delicious and was quite refreshing on a hot summer day!

Hawaiin Pineapple Chicken

Reviewed: May 28, 2010

Someone needs to fix the spelling mistake so others can find the recipe. It should be HAWAIIAN.

World's Best Pasta Sauce!

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2010

This has become my go-to tomato sauce. I just leave out the meat for a a great marinara. I see that someone suggested using all ground beef. I've done that when I was out of Italian sausage, but it's MUCH better and richer with the addition of sausage. This sauce reminds me of my Italian Grandmother's. It's delicious!

World's Best Lasagna

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2010

Delicious! It was a great addition to my New Years Day meal. The sauce is WONDERFUL and as others have said, it has many other uses. I've already made the sauce (by itself) again and used it over pasta, and everyone raved. *Don't leave out the fennel seed* This will now be my go-to lasagna recipe.

Shepherd's Pie VI

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2010

Very good. I've made it a few times, and I think that adding 1/4 cup of worcestershire (as recommended by some reviewers) is too much. I love it and use it often, but it really overpowers the dish. I do like adding the gravy packet with the meat, but now limit the worcestershire to 1 or 2 T. That said, it was a good meal on a cold night!

Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2009

This was the PERFECT cornbread. I've tried other recipes on here, but I think I've found the last one I'll use. I used the buttermilk baking powder which is handy to keep around.
