Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings
I've made this a number of times...changing it up a bit each time to see if I could "improve" some of the problems I had. Bottom line...I have settled on 6 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs instead of the breast, and substituting chicken broth for the "water to cover". I also don't use butter, at all, but everything else is the same so the rating is based on the original recipe. My changes to make it a 5 star recipe: added carrots and celery with the onions, a sprig of thyme, and subbed one can of cream of chicken for one can of cream of celery. I also dust each bisquit with a flour, salt, & pepper then flatten and cut them into 4 strips and add them to the crockpot in two batches: it seems to help reduce the chance that the biquits will turn into a great big glob in the crock pot. As written it is a quick and good meal...definitely worth giving it a try if you are craving a big pot of comfort food on a dreary day. You can play around with it to make it more suit your tastes if you like. Thanks for sharing!

Golden Sweet Cornbread
Delicious! I only used 1/2 cup of sugar, based on the other reviews and it was just about perfect. May cut the sugar back a tad bit more.

Irish Cream Bundt Cake
Delicious! Followed recipe exactly and everyone loved it. One thing I didn't see mentioned in the reviews was that it took nearly 70 minutes to bake (just had my oven calibrated so I know that's not the problem). The other thing I noticed is that the nuts make a pretty crunchy top and I couldn't really poke holes in the top without making a mess, so I just used a toothpick on the sides, etc. I did try using a drinking straw (which is what I use for "poke" cakes, but the hole was way too big and noticeable. I used nearly all of the glaze. I think it would have glazed more easily and quickly had I let the cake and the glaze cool slightly before I started. Oh yeah...I used the Baileys Irish Cream with coffee flavor and it was terrific. The glaze tasted a lot like butterscotch! Thanks for sharing...you helped me impress my coworkers!
