Guacamole

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2009
This is a good guacamole recipe but only became worth five stars after I added some chili powder. Probably really only the needed the cumin component of the chili powder but the only cumin I had on hand was whole and I was too lazy to toast and grind it.

Pie Crust IV

Reviewed: May 15, 2009
I was never able to consistently make a good pie crust until now. Great recipe. I seem to always use 1/4 cup ice water, if that helps. The only time this recipe didn't work was when I dumped in the entire 1/2 cup.

Pumpkin Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 20, 2009
This is really quite good. I made it according to directions and didn't find it too sweet at all, contrary to others' reviews. But I am southern so it takes a lot to reach sugar overload for me. My 2 year old loved it as did my husband. He said he would rather have this than sweet potato casserole for holidays. BTW - sweet potato casserole is sweeter than this is, for those looking for a sweet index.

You can't ask for an easier cheesecake recipe than this. And it is very, very good.

Crab Brunch Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2008
This is really quite good - and I even used cheap canned crab. I would love to try it with the good stuff.

Chuck's Favorite Mac and Cheese

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2008
This is really great mac n' cheese. Mine came out a little dry because I forgot to buy cottage cheese and had to use cream cheese. But the flavor was WONDERFUL!

Grandma's Apple Dumplings

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2008
This is really good. I may use less OJ next time because it makes a LOT of sauce. Great with some vanilla ice cream.

Cranberry Swirl Coffee Cake

This is great! Made it this morning. My toddler loved it, too. Great way to use leftover cranberry sauce during the holidays.

Hearty Turkey Soup with Parsley Dumplings

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2008
Really yummy!! Will cook the dumplings longer next time and follow another reviewer's suggestion for cooking 10 minutes without cover and 10 with cover. Didn't have rutabaga but substituted leftover boiled potatoes instead. Will try rutabaga next time.

After-Christmas Turkey Potpie

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2008
Really yummy! I had to use cream of chicken soup, because that is what I had on hand. But otherwise I made this exactly as directed and it was WONDERFUL. My one year old was crazy about it, too!

Decorator Frosting

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2008
This is a really easy frosting to make. It is very sweet but pairs well with the Best Rolled Sugar Cookies recipe from this site. My husband and I made Halloween Cookies - ghosts,pumpkins, etc., and the only thing I would do differently next time is use a clear imitation vanilla so that my white icing stays really white.

The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2008
As per another reviewer's suggestion, I added an additional tsp of vanilla. Otherwise I made this recipe as written. It was my first time making homemade sugar cookies and they came out really nicely. It is a very simple recipe that renders a nice result. I may toy around with adding different flavorings, citrus zest or spices to add a little zing, but this made a really nice cookie. I used the Decorator Frosting recipe from this site for the cookies and I was really pleased with the result.

Moroccan Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2008
This is really wonderful soup. I was out of celery so I used celery salt, since some of the reviewers had said the soup needed extra salt anyway. I also added a little cinnamon, per other reviewers advice. I cooked it for about 6 hours on low in my crock pot - it was delicious!

Apple Harvest Pound Cake with Caramel Glaze

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2008
This is pretty good. But like others I doubled the cinnamon after tasting the batter and realizing there wasn't enough. Other than that, and baking for 70 minutes at 325 (too many people suggesting that to ignore) I made this exactly as written. This needs more spice for my taste. Next time I will add allspice and cloves, like in my mother's apple cupcake recipe. The glaze is nice, but next time I will try a thicker caramel frosting.

Pork Chops for the Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2008
If you are not feeling like putting in a whole lot of effort, this is a good recipe. Not great, but not bad. And it certainly is easy. Just not a whole lot that is really special going on here. Maybe fresh ginger rather than powdered would help... I may make this again if I am pressed for time, but it won't be in heavy rotation at my house.

Moussaka

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2008
My one year old LOVES this, and that sells it for me. When mine comes out of the oven it is pretty runny, but the next day it is much improved. The first night I usually just serve it over rice. It is really delicious, but to get the full five stars it would need to live up to the moussaka served at our local Greek diner... and it just doesn't.

Homemade Pancake Mix

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2008
I just made these this morning and they were wonderful! However, you MUST add 1 tsp. salt to the dry mix or they will be bland. Provided you make this addition, they will be great. To the reviewer whose pancakes were flat - you may want to check the date on your baking powder and/or baking soda. Elderly baking powders or sodas will not give you the lift you require. I, too, am guilty of keeping both these items for far longer than I should because I simply don't use them up fast enough.

My husband loved this, but I didn't care for it. I thought it was a little bland. Chili-garlic paste helped...
