Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2010

These were perfect! I made them to take on a girls weekend trip. I wanted oatmeal cookies and my friend wanted peanut butter so this was the perfect compromise. I didn't flatten them and they baked round and chewy. Even after a few days there were soft.

Cream Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 5, 2009

This recipe was awesome. I made these for a wedding that I was making cupcakes for. I made an initial test batch and found them to have a slightly metallic after taste that I thought came from the baking powder. The next batch I made I decreased the baking powder to 1 1/2 t. and they were perfect! The texture was like velvet, the cake was a nice denseness and each recipe made 15 perfect cupcakes. I needed to make 12 batches of this recipe, but it goes together very quickly. The bride loved them. I froze a few that I had left over and they were great when I pulled them out.

Sandy's Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2008

Great cake! I made this for a friend's graduation party and it was great. It was easy to make and looked gorgeous. The layers were perfectly flat. I was a little worried about the frosting because I've had chocolate frosting with sour cream in it and didn't like it but this frosting was incredible. I had a little leftover and brought it in to work the next day and everyone ate it with pretzels. My dad isn't a chocolate lover but ate a piece and said it was super moist. Awesome!

Firecracker Grilled Alaska Salmon

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2008

Great recipe for salmon! I'm not a huge fish fan but this was very good and very easy. Made it for Father's Day and it was a hit. Definitely my go-to recipe for salmon now.

Three Cheese Green Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2008

This is a great recipe! When I first read it I thought "what's the big deal?" but when we ate it it was terrific. I used good feta and fresh parmesan and substituted colby/jack for the swiss. My mom was eating it without the dressing and asked me what kind of dressing it was because it was great. I used regular good balsamic because I didn't have any white balsamic. Served it with Firecracker Salmon for Father's Day and it went over great!

Homemade Ginger Ale

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2008

This was fun and novel. It was fresh tasting and my guests liked it. Of course, everyone thinks you are a genius for making it. I added A LOT more ginger (double?) but it wasn't too much because the lemon is pretty pronounced. You have to S-L-O-W-L-Y open the cap.

Cajun Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2008

Delicious and different. My father-in-law said it was possibly the best cake that he'd ever had. Very moist and flavorful. I added a splash of vanilla to the cake and another splash to the coconut topping. The topping stays syrup-like and is absorbed by the cake. I also toasted my nuts. MIL asked for some to take home. Great recipe!

Fruit Cocktail Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2008

We really enjoyed this. I reduced the sugar in the recipe by 1/4 cup and also reduced the brown sugar that I sprinkled on top to 3 T and this was still sweet enough. It was perfect this way. I used canned peaches in juice that I diced up. This is a great recipe and you wouldn't know that it is low fat.

Creamed Onions and Sage

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2008

These were good. They smelled fantastic while they were baking. I would reduce the amount of time that the onions boil. They were a little sweeter that I expected but it was a nice, different side dish.

Baked Pineapple with Tapioca

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2008

I made this for Christmas dinner for a change from jello salad. It was just okay and didn't really get eaten. I doubled it so it would fit in a 9" pie plate. It was okay.

Dana's Party Mix

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2008

This was soooo good!! It is absolutely addicting. I was worried it was going to be greasy but it wasn't at all. I gave it to my parents for Christmas and they said it was the best mix I've made for them yet.

Chicken Enchilada Soup III

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2008

This was really great! I was worried about the possibility of grittiness but mine wasn't at all. I bought a rotisserie chicken and shredded that to save time and also used 50% reduced fat cheddar. It was very thick (almost stew-like) so I added an extra cup of water with some boullion to thin it. I also added the drippings from the chicken. Delicious!

Blue Cheese Chicken Wing Dip

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2007

This dip was awesome! I made this for my Christmas Open House. I didn't have any problems with greasiness at all but I decreased the butter by just a little. My brother loved this. The only change that I made was that I drizzled the dressing over the dip after I baked it. Really great!

Sassy Chicken Enchilada Dip

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2007

Sooo good! Made this for my brother's "fight night" and everyone LOVED it. People were standing over the bowl instead of watching the fight. I didn't drain the tomatoes so my dip wasn't too thick. I didn't have any green onions but it was still great!

Tiropetes

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2007

These were fantastic! They were so flavorful and good. They were a little time consuming but delicious. I made them the night before I needed them and then baked them in batches the next day. My first time eating them but they are great.

Warm Sweet Onion Spread

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2007

Really good and very easy! I made this the night before a party and let it sit at room temperature for about a half an hour before baking. I didn't have any trouble with greasiness and I sprinkled a little parmesan cheese on the top before baking. Very good!

Prosciutto and Parmesan Pinwheels

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2007

Really really good. I made these the night before my party and just sliced them before baking. I spread a nice amount of dijon mustard on the puff pastry and it gave a nice flavor combination. Very easy and good.

Won Ton Wrapper Appetizers

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2007

These were awesome. I made them for my Christmas open house. I made everything the night before and assembled them just before the party and baked them in batches. I had A LOT more filling that wonton cups so next time I would double them. I just froze the remaining filling for unexpected holiday guests. People loved them and kept asking when the next batch was coming out of the oven. A definite keeper!

Apple Pumpkin Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2007

These muffins are so moist and delicious! I added an extra two tablespoons of oil because I felt like I was stirring it too much to get the batter to come together. They are moist and perfect and the combination of apple and pumpkin is such a great fall combo! I brought them into work and everyone has raved about them.

Simple Country Ribs

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2007

I've made ribs a few times but these were delicious! My husband loved them and is asking when I'm going to make them again. I actually had four pounds of ribs so I cut them and stacked them in my pan. I didn't use very much water and my BBQ sauce in the end didn't need very much reducing. I used a really good bottled BBQ sauce. Great and easy recipe.
