Best Ever Chocolate Cutout Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009

Nice and chocolatey, but a bit too crunchy for my family's preference. I tried less time in the oven and then they just kind of crumbled. I might make again in the future, or else just make regular chocolate cookies instead.

Hollandaise Sauce

Reviewed: May 27, 2009

Was easier than I expected to be. Had my husband help- he whisked the yolk mixture and I added the melted butter. It started to get too thick, so I added a bit of the hot water from the pot that was waiting for poached eggs. I halved the recipe, but didn't measure the lemon juice, so overall it ended up being too lemony, though still delicious. I definitely plan to use again. Helpful tip: put the sauce in a thermos while you cook the eggs, this will keep it warm and it won't break! (per Alton Brown)

Gnocchi in Fontina Sauce

Reviewed: May 27, 2009

I thought it was very delicious. The cheese was a bit stringy, but overall everything went together wonderfully. I upped the cream to a 1/2 cup, but otherwise pretty much followed the recipe. My husband wasn't big on the gnocchi, so I plan to try again with linguine instead.

Hubby's Pizza Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2009

I don't know if it was the recipe or because I baked the bread per instructions in the bread machine. It was disgusting. If I ever attempted to make this again, I would definitely choose to take it out of the machine after the dough cycle and bake it manually in my oven.

Sausage Gravy III

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2008

Husband loved it and I thought it was delicious. Didn't feel the need to add any butter, plenty of fat from the pork. Will definitely make it again soon!

Scotcharoos

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2008

Sooo yummy! I used the method recommended by another poster to melt the chips right on top of the crispies mixture, and it worked great! They ended up a little hard to chew, but that could be because it's been pretty cold in the house. Will make again.

Bread Machine Bagels

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2008

I also had trouble forming the dough, but the first batch came out tasting great anyway! I think they could be boiled a little longer, perhaps 1 minute per side instead of 30 seconds. I only made 6 out of one batch, and tried several toppings to see what was liked.

Chicken Enchilada Soup III

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2008

Very delicious! I also had some fresh corn which I cut off the cob and added around the same time as the chicken. (about 1 ear). Next time I may add more spice, as I like spicier flavors, but this was very good! As a garnish I made tortilla strips in the oven which I seasoned with cumin, salt, pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder, and added those to individual bowls of the soup. Yum!
