Carrot Cake III
OMIGOD! BEST CARROT CAKE EVER!!!! I was left speechless after tasting this cake I made. Couple things I did change per suggestions from other members: I used 1 CP white sugar and 1 CP brown sugar. I increased the vanilla to 1 TBSP (3 tsp). I increased the cinnamon to 1 TBSP (3 tsp). I added 1/2 tsp of nutmeg. I used 3/4 CP oil and 1/2 CP unsweetened applesauce. The cake was so beautifully moist and spiced! Just perfect. I baked the cake in 2 round cake pans and stacked them with icing in the middle and on top. I doubled the icing, though, to make sure I had enough. I used only 5 CP of powdered sugar instead of 8 and it was plenty sweet. I also tripled the vanilla and left out the pecans. So good! I would give this 10 stars if I could!

Zippy Chicken Corn Chowder
This was a very good soup. I will definitely make it again. I added a couple more cups of corn and an extra potato cuz I love both those. I also didn't put any hot sauce in as I'm not a spicy foods fan and neither is my daughter. Due to adding the extra corn and potatoes I had to add about 1 1/2 cups of extra chicken broth. Yum!

Quick and Easy Chicken
This was very good and easy. While I sauteed the onions I cut up the chicken in bite-sized pieces and let it marinate in the sauce mixture. I also doubled the sauce, but not the sugar and it turned out wonderful! Next time I will add some sesame seeds to this and put it over white rice. Definitely making again!!!!
