Chocolate Chocolate Chip Nut Muffins

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2012

Scaled for 18; made as directed, except omitted nuts due to preference. Love them!!! Made 26 regular-sized muffins, some slightly bigger, some smaller. Just wish they weren't so calorific! :) Might try subbing stuff out next time. Thanks bunches for a great recipe!

Bacon Cheddar Muffins

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2012

These were ok. They are slightly dry; I might try adding an additional tbs of oil maybe. You can add much to enhance flavor; I did add garlic and pepper but not enough. Nice change from cereal; I will be making again. Thanks!

Cheesy Beef 'n' Rice

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2012

Very kid-friendly, I think. It was ok; not too bland. I used ground turkey, because I don't do beef, and I only had ground onion powder, and subbed chicken tomato bouillon because that was all I had as well. Oh and only garlic powder too. My kids don't always like the textures of onions & garlic, so I wouldn't use in most dishes for them anyways. They really loved it. I thought it was ok, along with dh, so we will probably make again for them. Thank you!

MMMMM... Brownies

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2012

These were really really good. They had the crispy top which I was looking for, but I also think they had too much salt. I will definitely make again; tweak to personal preference. I like the idea of trying the expresso coffee + dark chocolate that another reviewer mentioned. I had doubled the recipe; another had mentioned reducing eggs to get a fudgier texture, I think I will try that as well. All in all a really good recipe - thanks so much!

Lemon Pie Bars

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2012

These are perfect. Made as is, slightly too thick of crust for my taste, I might try halving the crust part next time. Thank you for a great recipe. And in case anyone else wonders (I wasn't sure), when I did the cutting of the butter into the flour/sugar mix, it was not like a pie dough consistency. It was just flour with butter cut into until it was as crumbly as I could get it. But never came together; it always takes ice water for my pie doughs to come, but it didn't call for it, so I didn't do it. I just went ahead and pressed into pan evenly (looked like flour with some crumbly butter). I thought it would be dry, but it wasn't at the end. Worked fairly well. Seemed to not soak the lemon/egg mixture up as other recipes did.

Lemon Drops

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2012

I love these. I have lots of lemons to use up, so I am trying different cookies. After reading reviews, I was just a bit worried about taste; I really wanted very lemony cookies. I used one cup of butter, because I never use shortening/margarine. I added 2 oz of squeezed lemon juice. I added 1/8 cup of sugar (prb didn't really need) and an extra 1/4 cup flour, altho I could have probably added more flour to make it a bit firmer. I was worried about too floury of a taste. Chilling the dough for about 45mins in the refrigerator firmed it enough that I could roll it in my hands. It does not flatten though, so if you want a a cookie and not a ball, you will have to flatten yourself. I baked at 365 degrees after the first batch was just a little too brown on the edges. For 10 minutes exactly. Total lemon fix! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Oliebollen (Dutch Doughnuts)

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2012

These are just like my mom always made; sort of, or at least the taste is. My mom always used the boxed mix from our local Dutch store, and she used beer, not milk. But her batter was always runny like a pancake batter. When I made this, the dough was very sticky and hard to work with. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be that way or not. There was no way I could ever shape balls with my hands, altho using two spoons pretty much made it a ball shape. But I will definitely make again with this recipe. Thank you!

Apple Strudel Muffins

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2011

These were really good; I got compliments at the Christmas party I brought them too. Many eaten, even though I made about 36 (I had doubled recipe). Just right amount of topping exactly. However, if you didn't bite into a part with the apple, it was a bit dry. I think adding yogurt/sour cream might increase the moist factor and will try next time I make. A definite keeper tho! Thank you!

Sloppy Joes II

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2011

My kids love this. I sub in 1 tsp onion powder for onion because my kids don't like the texture of onions and I omit the bell pepper when they are going to eat because they don't like that either. I add a little more ketchup, about 1 1/4 c total, as well as about 1 tbs of mustard. Just seems to make it a bit smoother. Love this - reminds me of when my mom used to make it, but she used canned and I can't abide the taste of that anymore. Thank you! Now I can have again. :)

Pumpkin Roll I

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2011

I don't know. I did not find this easy to make at all. Except for mixing and baking; rolling was a disaster. Actually I thought it was going to be ok...rolled in the towel, added confectioners' sugar on the towel per suggestions and a friend who made one. Seemed to roll fine. Let cool completely after rolling. Spread filling on it and then attempted to roll. Totally cracked. So bummed. Haven't tasted yet, but I am sure it tastes good, the filling was yum, and how could you go wrong with a cup of sugar. Presentation terrible. :( Not sure if I will attempt again; lot of work for a big disappointment, but maybe its just me, and these are my 2 cents. Thanks anyways.

Bread in a Bag

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2011

Kids thought fun to squish. I didn't like this. Thought it would be fun, but stuck too much too the bag, even with adding flour little by little at the end. Then trying to knead it, it was too difficult to get to right consistency; came out too sticky, then too dry, blah blah. Much easier in my mixer. I kneaded so much I was worried it would be a brick after baking. Was surprised that it rose, and baked ok. Tasted ok, not the greatest, but the whole loaf was eaten. Think I'll stay away from mixing in bags. Thank you anyway for the experience. Would have never thought to try on my own.

1-Dish Chicken Parmesan

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2011

Very good. I didn't have breaded cooked chicken (didn't catch that part til I was already proceeding w/recipe anyway), so I used chicken tenderloins that I coated with a Ritz/Cheezit crushed coating. They weren't cooked, just defrosted. Otherwise prepared as directed. I think in the future I will prebake that crust for at least 5 mins; it was good but became a little soggy.

Blueberry Cream Muffins

These were OK; only ok.Rather dense, not fluffy at all. Needs spices to liven up. Probably will not make again. Thanks again.

Master Pizza Dough

Reviewed: Jul. 27, 2011

Really good; I doubled the recipe, however it was a bit too much flour using the scaled amounts, about a half cup less. Made 4 pizzas, but on the smaller side. Would have been 3 good size pizzas. Added garlic and onion powder to dough just for an extra bit of flavor. Baked at 425 degrees for 15 minutes on a pizza stone; gave it slightly chewy texture with a nice crisp on bottom.

Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2011

This is way too good! Did knock sugar down to 1/2 cup, and didn't use quite as much cinnamon sugar called for (personal preference, trying to be *healthier*) and still very good. Bread was soft inside with a really nice crunch on the outside. Thank you for a great recipe!

Monkey Bread II

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2011

These are yum! Don't think I can make too often...I ate way too much. My kids didn't even get enough, so they tell me. ;) Thanks for a great recipe...I wanted one that wouldn't use store bought biscuits and this one's a keeper! Did omit the raisins for personal preference.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies I

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2011

Pretty good. These were fluffy, and I baked for 11 mins at 350 degrees. Would have liked a bit more crisp on the bottoms. Flavor nice, could use more cinnamon, oh and I did add 1/4 cup more oats.

Beth's Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2011

Really good!!! Thank you! Used all butter instead of shortening; personal preference. Baked for 11 minutes; soft and chewy, with a slight crisp on edges...perfect! Only thing - they flattened out quite a bit. Not sure if they are supposed to, and if not, wonder what I can do to keep fluffy? Thanks!
