This recipes barely gets 2 stars! I followed the recipe exactly and I ended up with flat, dry, crumbly cupcakes. Yes, I creamed the butter and sugar well. No, my baking powder was not expired. I bake all the time, so I know what I'm doing. I just think there are better recipes out there to try.

Vanilla - Chocolate Powdered Sugar Frosting

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2009

I had no trouble at all with this recipe being too thin. I always use real butter and I allow it to sit on the counter while I bake the cake or cupcakes. Adding the milk a little at a time prevents your frosting from becoming too thin. I frosted 24 cupcakes and still had a little left over. This is so much better for you than the store bought frosting. All those preservatives and trans fats---YUCK!

Cajun Style Red Bean and Rice Soup

Reviewed: Jun. 27, 2008

Very good recipe. Andouille sausage can be sustituted with smoked sausage without much of an affect on taste. If you like it thicker you can take out a cup of the cooked beans and mash them with a fork. It thickens it up and makes it creamier.

Easy Fruit Dip

Reviewed: May 16, 2008

Everyone in my family absolutely loves this dip. I let the cream cheese sit out on the counter until it softens. Using a stand mixer really blends the ingredients well. I always add more cherry juice to make the color brighter and give it more of a cherry flavor.

Pretzel Turtles

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2008

I couldn't believe how delicious these came out and they weren't hard at all to make. The hardest part is unwrapping the Rolos. I found that 3 min. in the oven was more than enough time to melt the chololates. They do take a really long time to set up so plan to make a day ahead. Mine stayed fresh in a plastic container for over a week.

Coconut Date Balls

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2006

I've been making these for years and they are always a huge hit. DO NOT boil longer than 3 minutes or it will turn into a crumbly mess that won't roll together.

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2005

With the addition of another tablespoon of butter, it came out perfect. I used it to glaze a bundt cake.

Boudreaux's Zydeco Stomp Gumbo

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2005

I've lived in south Louisiana all of my life and this is the best recipe for gumbo I have ever found. I didn't have chile peppers both times I've made it and it still turned out great. When and if it gets cold enough down here I'll definitly be making again.
