I've been making this recipe for years as a holiday gift for teachers. I would often get notes from teacher saying that they where going to take it home to their family, but ended up eating all themselves before getting home. I also like to double he caramel mixture.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes Secret Recipe

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2008

We loved these! I scaled the recipe down to 3 lbs of potatoes. The idea of "raw" garlic was not very appealing to me so I sauted the garlic in butter while the potatoes were boiling. Used paramasan cheese because that is what I had. Great flavor, texture etc. Will probably not make regular mashed potatoes again. Also set aside a portion without cheese for a child that can't have dairy. She enjoyed her's too.

Easy Brownie Shortcake Dessert

Reviewed: Mar. 21, 2008

I've never made this recipe, but I wanted to offer a tip for cutting the brownie horizontally. Use a piece of dental floss or thread; a few inches longer than the diameter of the brownie. Hold it level by wrapping around at a certain point on pointer finger of each hand as a guide. Saw through brownie.

World's Best Potato Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2008

I have made this recipe several times now for the concession stand at my boys wrestling tournaments. It is always a huge hit. People come back to the concession stand asking who made the soup and asking for the recipe. I "fried" the celery, onion and diced bacon together then added it to the boiled potatoes. Followed thre rest of the recipe, except, occasional used just milk instead of half and half and gotten just as much appreciation.
