I thought this recipe was a great base for what I made. I followed the recommendation of a couple of other people, but put my own spin on it at the same time. I browned 1.5 lbs of lean beef, drained & seasoned with salt & pepper. I then added 2T ketchup and about 1/8c Worcestershire sauce and 2T of flour. I then gradually added 1 can of beef stock (instead of using gravy mix like others) and about 3 more Tablespoons of flour to keep the mixture thick. I added 1 (drained) can each of: sweet corn, green beans, carrots. Add salt and pepper to taste. Once the veggies were heated through, I put the mix in the bottom of 2 square baking dishes and split the mashed potatoes (I cooked about 7 medium) on top of the beef mixture. I sprinkled with cheese and small bits of butter. Baked at 375* for 20 minutes and they were perfect :).

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2009

This is the best banana recipe I've ever made/eaten! They are moist and delicious and my husband (who doesn't like bananas) loves these :). Everyone I've shared this recipe with has told me they love them too. I'll make these again and again! :)

Scrumptious Strawberry Shortcake

Reviewed: Aug. 6, 2008

I wanted to make some strawberry shortcake for a church gathering and I came across this recipe. I had never had real shortcake before, so I decided to try it. These came out great! They were delicious... just the right amount of sweetness to compliment the strawberries and the texture was perfect. I doubled the recipe and we ate a bunch of them for breakfast without anything on them or with just a small dab of jam. I'll be making these again :).

Quick Yeast Rolls

Reviewed: Aug. 6, 2008

Great recipe :). They're best when served hot, but they were delicious after a few days too! I added a little bit of honey to the water/shortening to make them a little bit sweeter and I also substituted 1/4 cup of the flour with dry oatmeal (I was in an experimenting mood). Also, before cooking them, I brushed each roll with melted honey/butter and topped half of them with crushed pecans. They turned out great and I ended up with 24 fairly large rolls (I doubled the recipe). At least half of them were gone before dinner was even served, so I'll definitely make these again, with or without my personal touches :).

Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Reviewed: Aug. 6, 2008

Delicious and very easy to make! I made this for a church gathering and everyone loved it. I also substituted 1/2 cup sour cream for 1/2 of the mayo and added some salt to taste. I accidentally added extra cheese (didn't read that I was supposed to sprinkle the last bit on top), but I didn't have any complaints :). Almost everyone wanted the recipe. I'll definitely make this again... and again and again :).

Mini Cheesecakes III

Reviewed: Aug. 6, 2008

Excellent recipe! Very easy and fun to make. I love the size - they're big enough to satisfy a cheesecake craving, but it doesn't put you over the edge. I've made these at least 3 times in the last 2 months and everyone loves them :).
