The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2009
The recipe was very good, it was simple. I did have to add more flour. It is easier if you roll it between to sheets of wax paper. I've tasted cookies like these ones at one of those specialty cookie shops, that put the fancy decorated cookies on a stick. I devided the dough and the left over dough I decided to give them more flavor by adding lemon to one batch and fresh squeezed orange juice and rind to the other batch. I made them look like lemons and oranges with the sugar glazes of powdered sugar and a little milk or water. I was missing the red food coloring, so I wasn't able to make the orange flavored ones look like orange slices, but you get my idea. My sons loved these cookies.

Big Soft Ginger Cookies

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2009
These cookies are absolutely delicious. They have enough spicy ginger flavor, like a ginger snap. They have a soft center, and I cook them at the 10-11min. They make a good presentation for plating. Sometimes I give cookies away as gifts and these are wonderfully round in shape. I don't think you need to roll them in sugar. The icing is a nice touch, and you can sprinkle them with raw sugar to add some sparkle and more sweetness if you like. My son who doesn't like molasses, gingerbread cookies really liked these cookies. They have a ginger snap taste.

Lemon Poke Cake II

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2008
I enjoyed this cake. I liked the tartness of the glaze. My son thought it was too tart. I ran into one problem, but that was my own fault. I bought the cake with the pudding already in it. I didn't want it to taste like yellow cake only, so I add the box of lemon pudding, and then I add some lemon juice to loosen the batter up, because it got sticky. I've made cakes before, so I was able to tell consistency. I baked my in a loaf pan, and it came out great. It looked good on the inside and out. It was light, and lemony. I had a thin glaze over the top to soak into the holes, then I used more confectioners sugar to add a white drizzle look, that covered the holes. I used a tooth pick to prick holes into the cake, that way they were not craters. I will definitely make this again.

Too Much Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2008
Everyone loved this cake. It was moist, and very chocolatety. One of those cakes you say, "got milk". When it was refrig. you can have a little crunch from the chocolate chips. It was very good and I'd make this cake again.

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2008
I've made banana muffins before, but none as light and moist. It is like a mini cake. These are better than Chef Tyler Florences,(no offense). My son claims I'm becoming a chef now. They taste store bought, and I was able to make 12 muffins from this recipe

Chicken Fajita Marinade

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2008
My husband and son thought it was good. I think it would be a good marinade for chicken, then I would have given it 5/5, actually I wanted to give it 4 1/2 out of 5. It was tangy with the citrus flavors. As for a fajita, I'm used to having fajita's for beef, chicken and shrimp with the usual fajita flavor(like my favorite resturant). It would be better in a category for just citrus marinade for chicken.

Chicken Cordon Bleu II

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2008
This recipe is one I might find in a fancy resturant. I didn't have the heavy whipping cream, and it still turned out great. I used thin slices of ham, provolone cheese and milk thicken with flour. It was thick enough, and had less fat. I'm definatly make this again. Thank you for the recipe.

Flatlander Chili

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2008
My family thought this chili taste like our favorite chili at Wendy's. I substituted 1 can of red beans to kidney beans, and the other to pinto beans. You do not need to add the sugar. If you want it to taste sweeter, just add basil; which naturally brings out the sweetness in tomatoes. I used stewed tomatoes, chopped up because I like little chunks of tomatoes. Once I added the sugar, it was too sweet, so I ended up using 2 bay leaves to cut the sweetness. I would make this recipe again, with my little tweeking.

Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2008
The picture doesn't do it justice. I used a store bought pie crust, one for the bottom and one for the top of the pie. The filling was very good. I did season the chicken with some salt and pepper., and used some pepper per the directions. My 2 teenage sons said, "this is the best pot pie I ever had, and I would rate it a 6 instead of 5, it's so good". It truely was enjoyed by all. It only took 14 min. for my pie to be golden and insided bubbled.

Grandma Johnson's Scones

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2008
I wouldn't change a thing. You can make a variety with the same batter. I seperate the dough in half. I used 1 tsp lemon rind, and added blueberries. The other half I put in 1 tsp vanilla extract and then added semi-sweet chocolate chips. All of them have been light, like a buscuit. They travel well without breaking up. They make a good breakfast treat. They look good in triagles, the bakery we have makes them like clumps. Frosting is optional. I've made these twice and will make again in the future.

Cream Cheese Penguins

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2008
I made this recipe before. The penguins were so cute. My relatives thought it was candy, and wanted to stay away from them. I informed them that it was an appetizer, all healthy/natural. They were a little time consuming to make, so meke ahead of time. I used those fancy tooth picks with the fringe, it made the penguins look even better/royal penguins.The crunch of the carrot was nice. You can put the carrot nose in a different direction, which ever is easiest. These make a wonderful display. Your guest will be impressed.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cake Cookies

Reviewed: Aug. 12, 2008
Thank you for this recipe. I'm a chocoholic, and these cookies satisfy the cravings. You can't just eat one. I didn't have chocolate chips so I substituted semi-sweet and unsweetened baking chocolate bars, and I used only 1 1/3 c sugar instead. Since they are easy to roll, you can put any type of ingredient in your own cookie. My son likes M & M's so I pilfered from the trail mix and placed one on top of each cookie, they look great. This is a keeper, another one for my christmas cookie list.

Crab Cakes III

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2008
Easy to make, light and flaky, and the best crab cakes I've ever tasted. I didn't have the right amt of crab meat, only 2 cans, and it came out great, making 5 round 3x3 size. I didn't know crab cakes can taste so good. Even my 18yr old son was suprised that he likes these too.
