Oaty Cereal Bars

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2009
These are SO good! I could hardly stop eating them. Neither could the 8 year old I babysit who will not eat anything! She took a bite, and after a moment of suspense...she belted out "That's the way, uh huh, uh huh, I like it!" LOL. I used Golden Graham cereal because that's what I had in the house, and also boiled the sugar and honey longer as one user suggested. I think I went too long though, because they set up to be hard as a rock. That can easily be remedied though by a few seconds in the microwave. Be careful! The sugar mixture can get VERY hot when reheated! I will be experimenting with different kinds of cereal & next time will only boil the sugar and honey for about 1 minute instead of 3.

Chocolate Orange Truffles

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2009
These were AMAZING! So good. I made them for my boyfriend & his favorite flavors are orange and key lime so I made half of each. I took a reviewer's suggestion of making the filling mixture the night before and keeping in the fridge overnight. It was REALLY stiff by then, but I was still able to get it into balls. I would definitely double or triple the recipe if making for more than one person because mine only came out to 24 VERY small truffles. Taste is delicious though!

Chocolate Eclair Dessert

Reviewed: May 21, 2009
I have been making this dessert for family get-togethers my entire life! Which is 20 years. Everyone loves it, I don't know what would happen if I decided not to make it one year! Definitely follow one user's suggestion of microwaving the frosting if you are using store-bought - that is the way I have always done it, and not only does it make it MUCH easier to spread, the consistency sits much better with the rest of the dessert. I always try to get it into the fridge the night before serving so that the graham crackers get soft. Delicious!

Sugar Cookie Icing

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2009
This icing was so easy to make and made my cookies absolutely beautiful. I had to add additional corn syrup, but other than that I followed the recipe exactly. Definitely use gel food coloring. *UPDATE* Now that I have used this several times, I have developed a system. First add the milk (I use about 3 Tbsp.) Then slowly whisk in the powdered sugar. Lastly, add the corn syrup & flavoring (I use vanilla extract), then food coloring. I don't recommend using more corn syrup than required because the icing will not dry properly. However, the more milk you use, the less glossy it will be.

Best Ever Jalapeno Poppers

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2009
These were absolutely delicious. I couldn't stop eating them. I only had Italian flavored bread crumbs so that's what I used, and the flavor was great. Next time I may take a user's suggestion of blanching the peppers first so they won't be so crunchy, but it's not a must. I froze the leftovers and reheated at 425 for 15 minutes. Still amazing!

Chicken Chimichangas

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2009
These were so delicious. My boyfriend even said that they were better than the chimis at our favorite Mexican restaurant! I baked them at 400 degrees for 25 minutes instead of frying for easier cleanup. They freeze well also. I just reheat them at 350 degrees for about 30-35 minutes, until heated through. They are even still crispy!

White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2009
These cookies are really awesome! I made them just as the recipe reads minus the nuts. Also, I added some dried cranberries in about 1/4 of the batch. Both kinds were delicious! I'll definitely be making these again.

Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2009
This was really good - I made it on a snow day and it was great comfort food! I did make a few adjustments. I only had 3 chicken breasts so that's what I used, and I simmered them in chicken broth with lots of different seasonings. A lot of people were saying to use two cans of soup, but I only had one so once I poured the soup in I filled the can halfway with milk and added it, along with some extra cheese to the mixture as well. I also crumbled some butter crackers under the bread cubes, and poured a little melted butter over the top of the bread. Delicious!

Fried Chicken Tenders

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2009
These were VERY good! I am a lover of chicken tenders but had never fried my own. These will definitely be something I make a lot!
