Tres Leches (Milk Cake)

Reviewed: Jun. 27, 2010

I LOVE this cake. My Brazilian friend made this cake for me and it was like eating a piece of heaven. I made it for my friends birthday and she and everyone there loved it. The recipe has been passed on and on each time a friend makes it they come back to me and tell me that it was a real hit. The only thing I did differently was added a little baking soda. The cake came out fluffy. It soaked up all the milks wonderfully. I sprinkled cinnamon on top like it shows in the main picture. Thanks Stephanie for sharing this wonderful recipe.

Chicken and Peppers with Balsamic Vinegar

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2007

It was okay.... but really it lacked a lot. It's nothing I would make again... and it's nothing I would even try to mold into something better... Next time I'll just look for a different recipe all together. Sad... because I LOVE Balsamic Vinegar!

Peanut Butter Quesadillas

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2007

I gave it five stars for how easy and yummy this was. I decided to make one with honey(on it not as a dip) and one with bananas. Both tasted great. I would have tried the jelly one too but happened to not have any. oops. Anyway... This is a great dish for kids!

Lamb Chops with Balsamic Reduction

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2004

This was so good! BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE! I was searching for a recipe to make my chops stand out and this was WONDERFUL! I didn't have shallots like I thought I did :( so I used onion and it still was wonderful! Everyone loved it! I was told to save this recipe because it's to be used AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! Thanks much!

Raspberry and Almond Shortbread Thumbprints

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2004

These were good and fairly easy, but i only gave it four stars because it didn't "WOW!" me. The family did love them though, even the picky younger ones.

Old-Fashioned Chocolate Fudge

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2004

Okay I don't know if my scoreing is the nicest, but I had troubles with this recipe. I had it simmering for a LONG LONG LONG time and it never got to the softball stage... I began to think that maybe my thermometer was broken so I tested with the cool water.... and it never formed into balls. Finaly I just said forget it and added the vinilla and butter and followed the rest of the directions and it still came out okay... but was kinda hard to get out of the dish... I followed all the drections and just got stuck on that one part... it just never worked for me. the taste was still really good. i didn't have a problem with mine burning... even after it sat on simmer for like 20 mins... it didn't even burn after i turned it up and let it sit longer hopeing for it to get to the softball stage. But yeah.. only problem for me was temp problems.

Best Toffee Ever - Super Easy

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2004

This was SOOO good! I did what one of the people down below said to do and coated both sides with the chocolate and nuts. I also did what the author of the recipe does and used pecans... not because I like them better.. it was just the only nut in the house... but anyways. The taste was wonderful the crunch was perfect. I added a little bit of the nuts into the toffee.. it tasted just like See's candy... if not better! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS RECIPE! VERY EASY AND VERY VERY VERY GOOD!!!

Jalapeno-Garlic-Onion Cheeseburgers

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2004

I thought the taste was awesome but they didn't stay together very well... I didn't add egg or anything but I think it might have helped hold the burger form better. But they do taste mighty darn good!

Tina's Pumpkin Spice Bars

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2004

Wonderful! I agree that it is more of a cake than a bar, but thats alright with me. I used the Cream Cheese Frosting II from this site, and reseved a little and dyed a little green and a little orange and decorated a little pumpkin on each piece. Very cute for Halloween or Fall treats.

Mexican Rice II

Reviewed: May 31, 2004

This is my favorite Mexican rice recipe. I add 1 Tsp. of cumin (I love cumin) and 1 Tsp. of chili powder to give it more flavor and a whole medium onion because it gives it more texture. It's great to serve as a side with enchiladas!

Sweet Potato Oranges

Reviewed: May 31, 2004

This was really good, but a little too sweet for my family. I would make it again, but i would add half the white sugar that it calls for. The nut topping was so good! It tastes wonderful with the sweet potato.
