I've had this recipe saved in my box for 3 years now and finally made it for Thanksgiving this year. Overall it was good and my family enjoyed it, but not enough to make again. I thought the apple/cheesecake combo wasn't the best... I guess I'm more of a purist when it comes to cheesecake.

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2009

This recipe is soooo fantastic!!! I used butter in place of margarine because I never use margarine, and orange juice in place of water like others suggested... definitely use the OJ! yummm!

Sandy's Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2008

This is BY FAR the best chocolate cake ever. My mom tasted a bite tonight, and after her eyes rolled back in her head said that this beat out her favorite chocolate cake recipe that she's had forever. The chocolate cake by itself was good, but with this frosting was transformed into the most amazing cake ever! I made it for my grandpa's 80th birthday party for 20 people. EVERYONE RAVED!:)

Peach Ice Cream

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2008

I can't stop eating it out of the ice cream machine, and it's not even done completely haha! The flavor is out of this world! It's like an explosion of sweet sugary peachy goodness with every bite. mmmmm! I scaled the serving size down to 11, and used half 2% milk and half half-and-half in place of all the cream. Excellent:)

Curried Chicken Tea Sandwiches

Reviewed: May 19, 2008

SO tasty! I cut back on the mayo by almost 1/2, and it was perfect. I also doubled the curry, added grapes, and left out the lime juice. This is by FAR the best chicken salad I have had! I can't stop eating it :)

Creamy Hot Cocoa

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2007

My dad and I couldn't stop saying YUM while drinking this!!! I LOVE hot cocoa and trying new recipes... this is my new favorite! I didn't even use the half and half at the end either. I love how rich and chocolatey the taste is, even with 2% milk. Thank you:)

Winter Energy Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2007

OH...YUM!!! These are BY FAR the best "health" / "trail mix" cookie I have tasted. I have been searching a long time for a recipe that will make me never want to buy bars again, and this one has blown me away. I couldn't stop eating the dough, haha! I used all spelt flour (LOVE the taste of it and it's so healthy!) and only half the amount of molasses because I ran out. The flavors are so complimentary to eachother. I tried lots of add-ins like chocolate chips, craisins, walnuts, pecans, golden raisins... YUM! Also, to 1/4 of the batch I added 1 small banana with walnuts. MMMM it tastes like REALLY GOOD flavorful banana bread!!! Thanks so much for a recipe that will be a forever favorite :)

Health Nut Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Aug. 20, 2007

Man, what did I do wrong?? I was soo excited for these from all the good reviews, but the family and I didn't care for them. I decreased the sugar down to 1/2 cup as others suggested (used brown sugar), and used all spelt flour, so that could've been part of it. But I usually use spelt in everything and LOVE it. They were hardly sweet tasting too. I see good potential in this recipe. I might play around with it a little more, but definately not happy with the first batch :( I'm still giving them 4 stars even though we tossed the batch because I didn't follow the recipe to a T.

Banana Oatmeal Cookies I

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2007

I made these changes and they're SOOO yummy!!! My dad and I ate them out of the oven and they have wonderful flavor and texture. Half white half brown sugar, all butter, all spelt flour, 1 tea salt, 1/2 tea nutmeg (omit cloves), and double the cinnamon banana and oatmeal. I split the dough in half and added milk chocolate chips in one and walnuts in the other. The walnuts bunch won with the family by far. The texture of the cookies tastes like the center piece of banana bread, real soft and chewy, just how we like it:) UPDATE! I just made these again today for a family get together and they got RAVE reviews. My mom and grandma who try to stay away from cookies couldn't keep their hands off them, hehee! :) And the boys gobbled them up.

Honey Peanut Granola

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2007

I'm so-o excited! This is even better than the organic peanut butter granola I buy!!! I loved the peanuts in it. Crush them into coarse pieces before adding them. I divided one batch into three to try different things and I LOVED the peanut one... instead of peanuts I added crushed almonds to one and it was good but not too much flavor... lastly I added cinnamon and I didn't care for it. Stick with the original recipe, it's the best and I even love changing things usually!

Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2007

Great muffins! I used half spelt flour & half white. I sprinkled a light layer of white sugar on the tops before putting the muffin tin in the oven, and I'm glad I did because it added a nice sweetness to a muffin that isn't overly sweet itself.

Gerry's Chicken Enchiladas

Very authentic tasting! Great with sour cream on top and cornbread on the side:) The only change I will make next time is using flour tortillas in place of corn.

Chicken and Mandarin Oranges

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2007

Mmmmmm!!! This is great! I added a little sugar to the mandarin sauce to sweeten it up. I used noodles since I didn't have rice, and then added some of those crunchy sesame sticks for a yummy topping! I love how easy and tasty this is!

Grandma's Homemade Banana Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2007

This was just ok. I made three different banana bread recipes from this site today and this was my least favorite of the three. It was too sugary, too spongy, and not bananay enough for me...

Best Ever Banana Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2007

Ooh this is soo yummy! I didn't have buttermilk so I used plain yogurt. It had a very light, moist texture. I will definately reduce the amount of sugar next time to 1 cup instead of 1 1/2. It was a little too sweet, and I even like sweet! Excellant recipe, thank you!
