This is a recipe my Mom used to make every Christmas so I attempted it myself since I was not going to see her. Everyone loved them and they were all gone in a matter of minutes. I will double the recipe next time and save some for me!

Spaghetti Carbonara II

Reviewed: Sep. 20, 2008

I loved this recipe and couldn't stop eating it. It makes A LOT of food so I will probably cut it in half the next time. I did have a problem with the eggs cooking into scambled strands, but I also did not have a pan big enough to hold all of that pasta so I had problems tossing. I will try the method of cheese and eggs togther based upon another review. But even with me messing it up, it was still really, really good.

Pear Honey

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2008

Pear Honey is delicious, but I will never make it again. After reading the reviews, I was very nervous about burning it because I only had enough pears to make one batch. I cooked it on low and it took 6 hours to get to the consistency of runny honey. I did not have any more time to babysit this and then, on top of it all, it only made four 8 oz jars! With all of the prep time, cooking time and clean up time, this was not worth the effort.

Donna's Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2008

This bread was dry and not very chocolatey. The almonds were the best thing about it. Won't make it again.

Easy Broccoli Quiche

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2008

This was bland. I did not have a problem with wetness like other reviewers, but I followed the reciped exactly as written.I will probably add something like Mrs. Dash the next time just to give it more "zing" or change cheese to a pepper jack. Lastly, it took my quiche about 45-50 minutes to finish baking.

The Old Boy's Strawberry Pie

Reviewed: Jun. 19, 2008

I have made this recipe several times and now that we have fresh Oregon strawberries, I am making it again. I have made it exactly to the recipe each time and it comes out perfectly, so I am not sure what the other comments are about. My only problem is that I cannot stop eating this pie. It is so tasty.

Gravy Baked Pork Chops

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2008

Wow, this was good and super simple. I did modify a little since I only had Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup in the pantry. I used 2 cans golden mushroom and added 1 cup milk, 8 oz sauteed cremini mushrooms and 1/2 large onion. The gravy was a little watery, but delicious. It was so simple to make and so good! I usually do not like condensed soup recipes, but this was awesome. Baked the same way. I served with gravy over baked potatoes.

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake I

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2008

This cheesecake is not very pretty. The top is very plastic looking and I had to run out to the store to buy some whipping cream to make it look more appetizing. I guess sweetened condensed milk does not belong in cheesecake in my purist opinion. It tasted fine, but it is not the best cheesecake I have had. Another review compared it to Cheesecake Factory which is not totally accurate. It is very easy to make.
