Low Carb Cauliflower Leek Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2006

I love this soup and have it for lunch nearly every day. The texture is a bit more thin than a Potato and Leek Soup but that is to be expected in a low carb version and the flavor is outstanding. I now make it with 6 cups of broth instead of 8 but it's great either way. I also wanted to mention that if what you want is potato and leek soup then MAKE potato and leek soup and refrain from giving this recipe a low score because it isn't something that it never claimed to be. It's not rocket science people. Really. Thanks for the recipe!

Raspberry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2005

So good and though I didn't need to change a thing I did replace half of the milk with orange juice on my second try - added a nice twist. Thanks!

Strawberry Pretzel Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2005

Love this recipe & I get requests for it all the time. Make sure to spread the cream cheese mixture all the way to the edges - it keeps the jello from making the crust mushy. Thanks Betty!

Fried Empanadas

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2005

This is the only empanada recipe that I've tried and I see no reason to look further! So good that my family can hardly wait for them to cool. I think the raisins add such great flavor - I like to chop them up. This is going into my recipe box. Thanks!

Excellent! So popular in my house that they are on a weekly rotation. Leftovers make great sandwiches for lunch the next day. Thanks Robyn!

Banana Oatmeal Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2005

This was just what I was craving - dense banana bread with a lot of flavor. I omitted the raisins and added chocolate chips - so good! This one is going in my recipe box. Thanks Carolyn!

Caramel Apple Pork Chops

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2005

Excellent fall recipe! My family has requested this repeatedly. I have made it two ways - exactly as the recipes states and as other reviewers have suggested by adding some liquid to the pan in the oven (apple juice) I liked it better with the juice but it was great either way. I have not added the pecans - I'm sure that would make it even better. This is going in to my permanent recipe file. Thanks Karena!

Old Fashioned Coconut Cream Pie

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2005

This pie was incredible! I used cornstarch - as others have suggested - and used whipping cream and milk. For the crust I used a store bought shortbread crust - so good. I made this pie on a tuesday and it was already being requested that weekend. I cooked all of the ingredients in the microwave - I tend to scorch milk - that worked beautifully. A friend told me it was THE BEST pie she had ever eaten. I would give it more stars if I could.

Crab Rangoon III

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2005

This is a good basic recipe. I cut the crab down to 1/4 of a can as other reviewers suggested. I left out the water chesnuts and added a tablespoon of soy sauce. Delicious! The wontons are thinner, but I think that allows you to taste the filling more. Thanks!

Shrimp Linguine Alfredo

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2005

This recipe is excellent, creamy and exactly what I expect when I think of alfredo sauce. The key is to use a good quality parmesean. I did add 1 T of cornstarch, as suggested by others, and I added the cheese during the cooking process. I made this for my husband's birthday and he said that it was the best he's had. This could only be improved by using fresh pasta - it's a keeper!

Bakery Shop Icing

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2004

This was exactly what I was looking for! Fluffy and not too sweet. I used heavy whipping cream instead of milk and inadvertently doubled the butter (which I wouldn't recommend - it still tasted great but I could feel my arteries closing a bit with each heavenly bite) AND my husband kept returning to kitchen to sneak bites which is something I have NEVER seen him do with frosting. Used if for my 1 year old's birthday cake. Perfect! Thanks!

Finaly my search is over! These are the best sugar cookies that I have ever made. I did cut the oil by half as suggested by a friend. These are delicate, buttery perfection. Thanks Janet! This is the only sugar cookie recipe I will ever use.
