Reviewed: May 25, 2011

made these yesterday - did 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup regular applesauce, added 1/4 cup Benefiber powder - then half as regular choc chip cookies - batter was a little thin and spread = thin but very tasty cookies & the other 1/2 of the batter, added 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder for double choc. cookies = batter was stiffer = thicker cookies but still tasted great - will make again - was same recipe as on the Kroger (King Soopers) brand chocolate chips except 1 extra tsp of vanilla

Flaky Food Processor Pie Crust

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2010

used all butter - used to make my 1st 2 pumpkin pies ever - thanks to the Lighter Libby Pumpkin Pie recipe here on the site - ended up freezing the butter & added 5 tablespoons of cold water rather than 3 - ended up with large crumbs - poured out onto table- pressed into dough ball with my hands - back into fridge for 3 hours until I could use it - rolled out beautifully - filled with light pumpkin pie filling and baked both - baked too long due to cracks on top but taste was awesome! flaky! buttery! utterly sinful - not good for you but can't beat the taste - cooled both pies & froze 1 for Christmas - other pie was gone in 2 days thanks to our 6-year-old who loves pumpkin pie & me too - will try to thaw pie in fridge for a day before reheating for 10 minutes - will see how it works out & report back

Greek Tzatziki

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2009

Used a whole cucumber - didn't have lemon juice so left it out - I bet if I strained the yogurt and the grated cucumber it would have turned out better - as is now = taste is good but too thin = salad dressing consistency - will try to add a 2nd cucumber strained this time to save it - also added 2 teaspoons of sugar.

Homemade Crispy Seasoned French Fries

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2008

tried with sweet potato fries cut to width of fingers, fried plain for a minute then dipped in batter (1 cup flour, garlic salt, paprika & cayenne to taste mixed with enough water to make syrup-consistency batter - 1/2 cup water?)& fried again for about 3 minutes (until golden brown)- much better than plain sweet potato fries - haven't had luck getting crispy sweet potato fries until now - thanks for the awesome (but fattening) recipe! also tried freezing the left over cooked fries - will pull them out & bake them another night, should be great.

Gourmet Thai Chicken Pizza

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2007

awesome - for sauce left out black tea and chili oil (per other reviewers and didn't have any chili oil) - sauce was more of a paste without those 2 ingredients - used all the sauce on one pizza, chicken, toasted sesame seeds, carrots, Vidalia onions, baby spinach leaves, red bell pepper slices on half and string cheese (didn't have regular Mozzarella available) - only thing I'd do different is use regular Mozzarella maybe mix in some Jack or Provalone cheese & add some red pepper flakes or a little chili paste - also used similar pizza crust recipe but not this one - will definitely make again.

Ultimate Double Chocolate Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2006

Makes a very, very good chocolate chewy cookie if you don't overbake it. If you do and it ends up hard, it still tastes great - like a round biscotti. My almost 3-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter had a great time "helping" lick off the beaters and clean out the bowl that I melted the chocolate in. They helped roll the pinched off dough pieces into balls too, in spite of saying they looked like "poop". Tasted great when cooked - rolled half of recipe into balls & froze in bags of 12 to thaw & bake at a later date. will have to see how the thaw & bake works out.

Homesteader Cornbread

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2006

this has become my favorite cornbread recipe! I cut the sugar back just by a few tablespoons and it's wonderful - not crumbly, very moist.

Super Sausage Gravy

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2006

very easy and excellent taste - made it with my husband's Lactaid fat-free milk and it still turned out fantastic! my father-in-law from Alabama said it was great as is - he also called it "sawmill gravy" - who knew? will make this again

Cinnamon-Roasted Almonds

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2005

made these for my dad for Christmas gift - used pecans instead of almonds & turned out great! not quite like the ones sold at the craft bazaar where the guy makes them right there with some special cooker - but almost as good. Tumbled them around on the cookie sheet with a fork every 20 minutes until hour was done. Even my almost 2-yr-old son loves them - kept grabbing them off the cookie sheet. Used a Sil-Pat to line my cookie sheet for easy clean up. Hard to keep my hands off them!

Cocoa Rum Balls

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2005

These are really similar to a recipe my Mom had which called for graham cracker crumbs - I think it was a 16 oz pkg of graham crackers crushed into crumbs - but otherwise the same. They are awesome! Thanks for the recipe, I had lost Mom's original one. They sure do get better as they age.

Pizza Dough II

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2005

I made this a week ago with my 4-year-old daughter's help. did the 1 cup WW flour and 5 cups all purpose (didn't have bread flour). This made the BEST ultra thin crust pizza yet!! Might try adding some garlic powder or dried herbs to the dough next time but rolls out fantastic with rolling pin to make a super thin crust - trying to duplicate Papa Murphy's DeLite pizza. after rolled out super thin - drape over the rolling pin or fold into quarters and transfer to mesh pizza pan or perforated pizza pan & top as usual - makes excellent browned, crunchy crust @ 425 for maybe 8 minutes. I divided up into 5 equal size pieces, made 2 pizzas that night, froze the other dough balls each wrapped in plastic wrap, & made 2 thin-crust calzones last night out of 1 dough ball. baked the thin-crust calzones @425 for about 12 to 13 minutes. took the dough about an hour to thaw & then ready for use. will try to tweak it a little more for flavors, but overall GREAT!! Will definitely make again!!
