To make it easier I used powdered milk so I didn't have to scald it. I just doubled the warm water activated my yeast and then added 2/3 cups milk granuales. The buns were soft, moist and perfect for the burgers. I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and accidentally added the yolk the dough and it still turned out great.

Pasta with Scallops, Zucchini, and Tomatoes

Reviewed: Jun. 26, 2009

This is a good recipe but I made a couple of changes. I seared the scallops and topped the pasta with them instead of cooking them in the sauce. I also added some red bell pepper with the zucchini. I'd only use fresh basil with this recipe.

Chocolate Lovers' Favorite Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2008

I used this recipe to make cupcakes for my daughters birthday. They were great! Since I live in a high altitude I added 1/4 cup of flour and 1 tbsp of water to keep the cupcakes from sinking. I replaced 1/2 of the butter with applesauce. and baked them for 22 min. each. VERY RICH!

Chili I

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2007

My husband wont let me make any other chili. He begs and begs me to make this. So I make a gigantic batch and freeze it. That way I can have some on hand when ever he gets that crazed "I need chili" look in his eye.

Cajun Chicken Pasta

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2007

I would serve this recipe to guests. I prefer to cut up the chicken rather than serve them whole. I also omit the mushrooms.

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2007

This was watery and bland. It seemed pointless to use whole red tomatoes. It was like having red ping pong balls in corn, enchilada water. I don't understand why people are giving it such good ratings. It wasn't authentic or flavorful at all.

Creamy Tomato And Cream Cheese Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2007

This soup is great if you do the following. Double the basil and add a bay leaf and some cayenne to the current spices listed. Then instead of using a food processor, put the cream cheese in the blender with a Tbsp. of milk, blend, then add the prepared soup to the cream cheese mixture one cup at a time until pureed. I like my soup a little chunky so I leave a little bit of unpureed soup in the pot then I combine them. I used fresh tomatoes that I skinned and seeded. I had a ton of them this fall. mmmmmmmmmm what a great way to use them, in a nice creamy soup serve with a grilled cheese sandwich. An absolute Keeper. It froze pretty well too, it didn't curdle like most creamed soups, so I can eat it all winter long.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies I

Reviewed: May 13, 2007

Great cookies! I used half butter and half butter flavored shortening. My butter was salted so next time I'll either reduce the added salt or omit it all together. I also used mint chocolate chips. SUPER YUMMY!. Maybe next time I'll try peanut butter chips.

Ultimate Double Chocolate Cookies

Reviewed: Feb. 11, 2007

ummmmmmm..... yeah couldn't stop eating them. Amazing I was forbidden by my husband to ever make them again. HA! like that will ever happen. I used 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate and 2/3 cups special dark chocolate chips. Then I threw a couple not-melted dark chocolate chips in the finished batter before baking. We don't drink coffee, I don't have any in the house so I omitted it. absolutely sinful!

Baked Bar-be-que Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 11, 2007

I used chicken breasts that were pre frozen in bbq sauce. I cooked it in a crock pot and shredded it for sandwiches. I wanted a little more sauce but I ran out so I added a little brown sugar and russian dressing. It was yummy.

Pizza Casserole

Reviewed: Feb. 11, 2007

Great recipe.... I'd give it 3 stars cause I'm not a casserole person, but my hubby and kids love it so much that I have to give it 4. It could use some more spice, maybe some chili pepper flakes. It was also good with some parmesan and olives.

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2006

The cookie was very soft and moist. I didn't like the way they looked so I piped cookie dough pinwheels onto the pan instead of dropping them with a spoon. It looked much nicer! I'm used to whoopie pies with a thicker frosting, so I give the cookie 4 stars but the icing 3 stars. Next time I'll either add more sugar to make the icing more dense or I'll use a different recipe. Either way I'll still add a little maple flavoring in the icing, it really compliments the pumkin flavor of the cookies.
