Scrumptious Penuche Frosting

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2009
Outstanding! I followed the recipe exactly (except left out the pecans). It's delicious, creamy and caramelly. Perfect as written. I used it on an apple spice cake. Everyone loved it. Thanks.

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2009
Very, very good. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect, very dense and moist. I had to bake it about 70 minutes before the toothpick came out clean. It's delicious and looks picture perfect. Thanks!

Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes

Reviewed: May 11, 2009
This is almost exactly how I have made my au gratins all my life. I agree with the previous comment, there is a difference between au gratin and scalloped potatoes. If there is cheese in them, they are au gratin, with plain white sauce they are scalloped. I use red potatoes, sometimes precooked first. I chop the onions small, and never layer, always mix the cheese sauce completely with the potatoes and onions before baking it.

Chocolate Brittle Surprise

Reviewed: Apr. 1, 2009
This turned out perfect. My co-workers loved it. I used just one cup of mini chocolate chips and put the nuts on at the same time so when I spread the chocolate the nuts would stick. It worked great! PS: I used salted crackers.

Home Style Macaroni and Cheese

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2009
Mmm, delicious. I used about 10 oz of macaroni and 1/2 tsp dry mustard instead of dijon. I didn't use cheddar cheese, it doesn't melt well. Instead I used 1/2 velveeta and 1/2 American/jack blend and even threw a couple slices of provolone in the mix. I added a few drops of Louisiana hot sauce for flavor. Very, very rich and creamy. I didn't bother with bread crumbs.

Texas-Style Baked Beans

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2008
Extremely excellent! Very hot/spicy and wonderful flavor. I used Louisianna hot sauce instead of Tabasco and baked mine in the oven instead of crock pot. I don't like crock pots much, everything comes out wet and floating in liquid. I put them in a big baking pan and baked them at 350º for about an hour. It worked great. I prefer baked beans to be thick, not swimming in juice. I used two 32 ounce cans of Van Camps regular pork and beans and drained the excess juice off the top of the cans. I used pork sausage instead of hamburger and it was so good. I cooked the onions with the sausage when I browned it. Fantastic baked beans!

Mom's Best Macaroni Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2008
This is good but very sweet, even though I left out the sugar. I added some extra seasonings like garlic powder, salt & pepper, horseradish and a few drops of Louisiana hot sauce. I also added shredded cheddar cheese, a couple hard boiled eggs and I used extra pasta, there's a lot of sauce. I left out the carrots. It's quite good but I prefer the Amish Macaroni Salad recipe on this website.

Grandma Sal's Peach Kuchen

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2008
This is wonderful. I made a few changes: I put 1/2 cup sugar in the crust, the other 1/2 cup I mixed in the cream/egg mixture. I sprinkled a little sugar on the peaches as well. I used an extra egg yolk because my eggs were small. I made the mistake of baking mine for 40 minutes. Don't do it, the crust is too hard. The 30 minute option would have been perfect. Also, I sliced my peaches so they would cover the crust well. This is so good!

Down Home Macaroni and Cheese

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2008
I've always made mac and cheese like this but with a few changes. No breadcrumbs. Use all the butter in the sauce and add extra cheese but I don't put any cheese on top. To the cheese sauce I add black pepper, dry mustard, a few drops of Louisianna hot sauce, and about 1/2 cup of sour cream.

Ham and Pineapple Pinwheels

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2008
These are delicious. There is no need to look for special cream cheese, I use an 8 oz block of regular cream cheese at room temperature so it will mix well with the pineapple. After you roll up the tortillas, refrigerate for an hour or two. This sets up firmer so your pinwheels won't get mushy and are easy to slice.

Caramel Bars

Reviewed: May 28, 2008
Oh my gosh, these are great. I used about 40 caramels, just because I had them. I left out the chocolate chips and used pecans instead of walnuts. I used a 9x9 pan and it was perfect. My co-workers flipped over these!

Pineapple Cheesecake Squares

Reviewed: May 9, 2008
This is delicious! That being said, there is one flaw in this recipe; corn starch should be used for thickening in the topping instead of flour, probably about 2 TBSP would work. There is a flour taste to the topping and it doesn't have the smooth, pleasing texture it should have. I followed the recipe except used a whole cup of whipped cream in the topping. I will definitely make this again, using corn starch as the thickening agent.

Caramel Frosting V

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2008
The recipe worked great, I tossed in the butter and let it set till cool, then beat it with a nylon whisk. After beating for awhile, I put it in the fridge for 1/2 hr to firm a little, then continued beating and frosted my apple spice cake. This is a fantastic caramel frosting!

Apple Spice Snack Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2008
Delicious and easy! I followed the recipe exactly, it's very rich and moist. Beating it with the mixer breaks the apple slices into smaller pieces, which I like. I frosted it with Caramel Frosting V from this website. My man and I love this cake, especially with the caramel frosting. Like a caramel apple!

Mixed Vegetable Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2008
This is decadent, especially with my additions of an extra cup of cheese and some sour cream. I used 2 bags of frozen veggies (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots). I seasoned the sauce with salt, pepper, garlic powder and a little Louisiana hot sauce for flavor. Very good.

Strawberry Pie II

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2008
This is a delicious strawberry pie, and so easy to make. I used two large bags of frozen strawberries and it was just right. I put one bag in the baked pie shell, and the other in a pan on the stove to make the sauce. Very good!

Sweet Restaurant Slaw

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2008
Delicious cole slaw! Creamy and sweet, just the way I like it. I use real mayo, celery seed instead of poppy, a dollop of sour cream instead of the oil, and a little extra salt and pepper. Thanks.

Olive Cheese Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2008
I wasn't fond of this one. I followed the recipe except added a little garlic powder and onion powder to the mix. It was OK, but not good enough that I will make it again.

Chewy Brownies

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2008
Excellent chewy brownies. I used 2 cups of flour, other than that followed the recipe. I had to bake them about 40 minutes to get the middle done. I pressed the pecan halves into the top of the batter before baking. I sprayed my 9x13 pan well and they didn't stick at all.

Tres Leches (Milk Cake)

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2008
Wish I could say I like it, but I don't. Too wet, too eggy. I followed the recipe exactly. Soggy wet cake is not for me. Sorry.
