Sugar Cookie Icing

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009
This is a pretty good recipe, and the only reason I´m giving it 4 stars is because it takes a really long time to dry. About 7 hours. I think you should make a note of it in the info, because I was making them for a party and the icing never hardened, so I couldn´t pack them without making a mess. Still, I would make this again, the day before my event now that I know how it works.

The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009
These are fantastic! Very versatile, and they´re nice and soft. Definitely chill the dough so it´s easy to work with, and keep the dough you´re not using in the fridge while you work with bits at a time. I couldn´t find my cookie cutters, so I used a champagne glass to make circles and the size was perfect. I used the " sugar cookie icing" recipe here to make christmas spheres, trees and snowmen. Thank you for the recipe!

Mrs. Sigg's Snickerdoodles

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
I guess I was expecting a lot out of this cookie after reading all the great reviews. I´m making christmas cookies for a bake sale and although they taste good, they did not make the final cut. My dad liked them ok, but he agrees they´re a bit too simple.

Sweet and Sour Sauce I

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2009
Gosh, I´m sorry but this just didn´t cut it. I tasted it as i was making it and it wasn't good. I tried adding orange juice and other tweaks, but that didn´t help much. I served it anyway, warning my family that it wasn´t an ordinary sns sauce, it didn´t taste as bad with the spring rolls and chicken, but definitely not what i was hoping.

The Best Meatballs

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2009
I don´t know what to say about this recipe. I was really excited about it when I read all the great reviews, but was skeptical about the recipe. I tried it anyway, with no adjustments at all. It wasn´t bad, but it wasn´t great. When I make meatballs, there are usually none leftover. This time my family ate about half and didn´t ask for leftovers the next day. I guess this is a good recipe for someone who has never made meatballs before and would like a good base. I´m gonna stick with my original meatball recipe for now.

Big Soft Ginger Cookies

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2009
I´ve made these cookies twice now in the same month. They´re pretty good. The only thing I would say is: the first time I made them, I eyed the ingredients and added maybe less baking soda than needed and the cookies were spread out nicely. I just finished making them again (I measured soda this time) and they came out like in your picture. Almost like little puffy biscuits. I would add less baking soda next time but will be making again. Oh and I have made these in the middle of a cookie crave with few ingredients on hand, so I never freeze the dough, but still turn out great.

Big Soft Ginger Cookies

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2009
These cookies are pretty good, I like that they are very soft. I used fresh ginger and didn´t really measure it, but I think I put just the right amount. The only thing for me is that they didn´t rise well at all, I´m glad I didn´t flatten them. I usually get more cookies out of the doughs by making smaller balls, but this made exactly 24 normal sized cookies. Will most probably make again,though.

Cherry Cobbler I

Reviewed: Jul. 21, 2009
I had never had cobbler before, so I didn´t know what to expect. As per other reviews, I halved the sugar on both the batter and the water and I thought it was just right. I also added vanilla extract to the batter. It was pretty good, my family liked it, I would probably make this again, but I would still like to check out other cobbler recipes.

Simple But Awesome Lemon Pepper Pork Chops

Reviewed: May 31, 2009
I made this as a slight change to my usual pork chop recipe, and it was good, though I would not necessarily say awesome. It´s incredibly simple and quick, so that´s always hepful. I have to say that I didn´t use nearly half as much butter or oil, so I recommend using less to save a few calories.

Heavenly Shortbread

Reviewed: May 20, 2009
This is a great recipe, possibly the best shortbread since it´s not just delicious but also very easy to make. I only had two sticks of butter, so I halved the recipe and rolled the dough into little balls. They baked in about 11 minutes. They are fantastic by themselves, but I also brushed some with lemon glaze. Thank you for the recipe.

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2009
Wow. They were awful. I followed the recipe exactly as it is, and even experimented different baking times, refrigerating the dough and not. They were awful, too sweet, and only stayed chewy a few minutes after baked. I don´t know what to do with them, my family agreed we sould give them away to homeless people or throw them out. I was very dissapointed. Terrible.

Clone of a Cinnabon

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2009
Okay, I don´t know why I procrastinated so long for making this. It took me about 3 hours rising time included but it was totally worth it. I followed the recipe exactly, also added ground clove and I cannot even begin to say how great they are. I made them by hand and it wasn´t so hard to make. I also used wheat flour and they took between 15 and 20 mins to be done. You cannot die without trying this, you will be the hit of every party from now on. Oh, another good tip is when you let it rise: Boil a pot of water and put it on the bottom rack of the turned off oven and the dough on the top rack for it to rise in a warm and moist place. Superb!!

Over the Top Nachos

Fantastic! I loved this, I would probably subsist on this if I didn´t have to worry about calories and nutrition. Perfect for a movie marathon!

Mall Pretzels

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2009
In flavor, they are good, but I did not like the fact that they were so thin (I rolled them pencil thin) and maybe it was my oven, but they were hard to bake because they either came out looking uncooked and on the soft side or crunchy and a bit too browned. They did not taste bad, but I would not make these again.

Waffles II

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2009
These were good, though I felt they needed more flavor so I used only butter and added some sugar to the mix. It was good. Not great, however.

I have made many waffle recipes and I have to say, this is the best so far but I´m still in search for the perfect waffle recipe.

Virgina's Tuna Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2009
This is good, however I didn´t have mayo so I subbed with 1 Tbsp light ranch dressing and 1 Tbsp sour cream. Also, I like to add onion to my tuna.

Cake Mix Cookies IV

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2009
I decided to make these after reading all the rave reviews and I gotta tell you, you must make these! They´re cheap and done very quickly and they´re delicious! I used betty crocker super moist devils food cake mix and wow! I tried different baking times and in my oven, 4 or 5 mins tops is the key to soft, chewy cookies. I left a batch for 7 or 8 mins and they were crispy, but still good. Fantastic idea, so versatile!

Spinach and Pasta Shells

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2009
I made a combination of the original recipe with the recommendations of others and a little extra of my own and it turned out pretty tasty. I made the pasta and drained it. Added a tweak of butter and set aside. On a frying pan I put some oil and sauteed some onion with 3 tbsp of red pepper flakes, then I added the garlic and then the chopped fresh spinach and since I wanted it to have some ¨body¨ I added about 1/4 cup milk to steam the spinach and a dollop of sour cream. At last, I roughly chopped fresh tomatoes and added them to the mixture. Boiled for 2 mins and voilá! It looked yummy and didn´t dissapoint, I served with garlic bread. I would make this again.

Argentine Meat Empanadas

Reviewed: Mar. 11, 2009
This recipe was fantastic, even better than I had hoped. I made slight changes though: first of all, I had to double the amount of cumin and I used 3 tbsp of red pepper flakes (I used the ones that come with pizza) I had just a few chopped olives and I dumped the vinegar they come in along with a tbsp chopped jalapeño and a bit of the its vinegar. There is a person who said cumin is not in the original recipe, well it is. Paprika, however, is not. So I didn´t use any, believe me, I didn´t need it! The boiled egg sounded odd, but considering it is an original ingredient, I added it. It went well with the other flavors. I already had some flaky crust handy, so I used it. They were great, will make often and perfect for special ocassions!
