Omigosh, these were SO rich and delicious! I made one modification, which I rarely do when I'm making something for the first time. I didn't have the full amount of cranberries, so I added chopped, dried apricots. Wow, it was so good. I'm thinking of making more of these even though I made them last week. Definitely a keeper!

Butter Flaky Pie Crust

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2008

This came out beautifully! I was in a bit of a hurry, so I stuck the dough in the freezer for about 15 minutes before I rolled it out. I par-baked it, put my filling in and refrigerated overnight. I had a couple people ask me which recipe I used for the crust. I made an elephant ear with the leftovers and it was nice and flaky like a butter-based crust should be. The key is the ice water and to handle it as little as possible. Will definitely use again. Thanks!

Old Fashioned Paradise Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2008

This was pretty good, but I thought the cheesecake layer was overpowered by the other layers. I might increase the cheesecake layer next time. Overall, a good pie that looks like it was a lot of work (it's really not though!).

Roquefort Pear Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2008

I wasn't sure about the dressing after tasting it on its own, but it works well with the other ingredients - especially the cheese. I really want more of this salad, except it's not exactly low in fat and calories. Will make again.

Millie Pasquinelli's Fried Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2008

I used boneless chicken breasts and fried it in olive oil. Came out nice and juicy. Seasoning is tasty too. Will make again.

Orange Dream Torte

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2008

I made this for Easter dinner today and it went over very well. I couldn't find ladyfingers at the store, so I used vanilla-filled rolled wafers. I cut them in half, then lined them around the edge of the pan after I put the first couple layers of filling in (otherwise they won't stand up). The white cream part was a bit runny even after being in the fridge for a couple hours. Next time I might freeze it or omit the milk. Otherwise, it was very good and refreshing. Will make again.

Cherry Snowballs

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2007

These weren't too hard to make and the taste is pretty good, but I feel like they're missing something. The dough could be a little sweeter, I think. Overall pretty good though.

Cinnamon Brownies

Reviewed: May 31, 2007

These were very good. Mine came out nice and chewy and the cinnamon gives it a bit of a bite. I made them for a work picnic and people liked them a lot.

Apple Crisp II

Reviewed: Mar. 26, 2007

My boyfriend really liked this (so did I). Next time I might add a little nutmeg and cinnamon to the sugar syrup, but otherwise it was delicious and it came out perfectly.

Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2007

This was very rich and delicious. The caramel really hardens and is hard to cut through when it's cold, but who cares because the cheesecake is yummy. It's really rich, which is probably a good thing because otherwise I'd probably eat it all.

Homemade Mac and Cheese

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2007

When I made the sauce, it looked like more than what I'd need. But, it bakes up firm and creamy. I made a couple tweaks though - I added about a cup more cheese than what it called for. I also used a mixture of marble cheddar, colby, monterrey jack and parmesan. It still needs something though - maybe some pepper and worchester sauce in the sauce. Crumbled bacon would be yummy too. Will probably make again.

Easy and pretty tasty. I like the nutty flavor with the beans. A nice change from almonds.

Sugar Cookie Frosting

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2006

This is pretty good stuff. I added a few drops of lemon juice to cut down on the sweetness and it was just right. The consistency is perfect for kids to work with. We put this on cream cheese sugar cookies and gingerbread men. Yummy!

Cocoa Rum Balls

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2006

Very good! Quick, easy and tasty. I used coconut rum and they were yummy. I probably should have rolled them in coconut - I'll try that next time. :)

No Bake Cookies III

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2006

These were good. Tastes just like they're supposed to. One thing I love about no-bake cookies is they're really fast to make.

Beth's Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2006

These are really yummy. I've made these a few times and people love them. I soak the raisins in hot water for about a half hour before adding them to the dough - makes them plump & juicy.

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake V

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2006

I made this for a family gathering and it disappeared. For the liquid in the cake batter, I used pineapple juice, but I only got a cup of juice out of the cans of pineapple. So, I used coconut rum to make up for the rest of the liquid. It went over very well. Very easy to make too.
