Wonderful! I used this cookie base to make my son his favorite peanut butter cup cookies, because I didn't have any eggs. Great flavor, and easy dough to work with. Didn't have to chill it like I usually do the other dough. I'll remember the buttermilk/baking powder sub incase I ever run out of eggs again! Thank you L.J.!!

Reindeer Snack Mix

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2011

So Yummy! I love the addition of the Bugles and I was glad I could find them. I put about a tablespoon red pepper sauce in to up the spiciness. I'm glad I made a double batch to give away, with plenty left for us to enjoy too.

Baron's Blackberry Cobbler

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2011

What a treat this time of year! I found black berries on sale and thought I'd give this a try. I also added a 1/2 pint of raspberries and some frozen strawberries so I'd have plenty of filling. We enjoyed a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Thank you Baron!!

Salsa Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2011

What a surprise this was! I really liked it, my DH and son not so much. I halved the recipe as this was a snack for watching football. I sprinkled some garlic powder, onion powder and chili powder in a couple of tablespoons melted butter, and poured that over the top before adding the cheese. I would like to try this same idea and make pizza bread next time. Thank you SSTACI!!

Bar Harbor Cranberry Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2011

My grandma gave me this recipe almost 40 years ago, and I had misplaced it. I am so thankful for finding it!! A little bit sweet, a little bit tart, but so delicious!! We always have ours with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Her recipe called for walnuts, and more cranberries I believe. I'll buy extra to put in the freezer now so we can have this again at Christmas! Thank you for sharing Amy!!

Pumpkin Cheesecake I

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2011

I halved the filling portion of this recipe and used a homemade graham cracker crust for this. It was awesome! I also used 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp each nutmeg, cloves, ground ginger and allspice instead of pumpkin pie spice. If I make it for a large group I will try it with the shortbread pecan crust. I bet its yummy!!

Inside Out Ravioli I

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2011

Surprisingly delicious! I did not cook the spinach separately- I simply put the defrosted spinach straight out of the package in the bottom of my colander and then dumped the cooked pasta over the top. I did mix in about a cup of cottage cheese inwith the pasta-spinach mixture, and seasoned with some garlic powder and Italian herbs. I put fresh basil in my sauce towrds the end, as well as a pinch of red pepper flakes. My son gobbled this down, saying it was almost as good as homemade lasagna, and not nearly the work. Thanks for sharing Amy!!

Fiesta Macaroni

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2011

Very easy, comfort food dish. I had some leftover homemade chili and also subbed shredded Colby-Jack cheese. Added some chopped onion and garlic powder to the ground beef saute. Made a large casserole which we enjoyed leftover for lunch. Thank you!

Hamburger Stroganoff

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2011

Very easy and delicious simple dish. I am so glad I added the lemon juice. Really perked up the flavors. Seved this over bow tie pasta with a simple salad on the side.

Jackie's Sausage Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2011

So hearty and good! First big pot of soup of the season and this was a great choice. Added lots more veggies; celery, carrots and garlic. I used large elbow macaroni. Loved the spinach. We had crusty Texas toast to soak up all the broth. Even better as lunch today.

Pumpkin Crunch Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2011

So Yummy! Followed recipe exactly except for using half brown sugar and half white. I also don't buy pumpkin pie spice, I use 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp each cloves, allspice, ground ginger and nutmeg in all my pumpkin desserts. We love the crunchy top on these type of desserts.

Joan's Pesto

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2011

I would give this 5 stars, but as written, the basil to olive oil ratio is way off. I probably used close to 4 cups packed basil leaves, and maybe half the evoo. I also added a pinch of red pepper flake. Froze half this batch for this winter when we need a pesto fix. The color of this sauce is just verdant green!!

Bruschetta III

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2011

Delish! Love the combo of cheeses. I probably quadrupled the basil, and used dried oregano as that's all I had. Used fresh minced garlic, and tons of it. I think the amount of olive oil is off. I know I used more than a tablespoon. What can be better than tomato, basil and cheese melted on bread? Thanks Susan!

Refreshing Summer Orzo Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 31, 2011

So delicious! And a nice change as a cool side dish to go with our grilled pork tenderloin. Added some minced red onion and finely chopped cucumber. Made a lot so I get to enjoy it for lunch too. I really think the key is cooking it in the chicken broth.

Mexican-Style Goulash

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2011

Plain old comfort food, which is not a bad thing. I used up some leftover taco meat, and skipped the corn. We hadn't had a homey casserole like this in a long time and so really enjoyed it with a green salad. I topped mine with some light sour cream and salsa. Thanks Maurane for bring back memories of family dinners when my kids were little!

Restaurant-Style Taco Meat Seasoning

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2011

Very tasty. I used only garlic powder-probably a full tablespoon. We also browned up minced onion, jalapeno and bell pepper with the meat. I think I will make up a big batch of this mix to share with my kids. I like the low sodium content of this mix.

Blizzard Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2011

Loved it! Very easy. I only used 1/2 gallon of ice cream -it was plenty. I made a melted butter/crushed cookie crust, poured the ice cream/cool whip with more cookies mixture over that and topped with more broken cookies for garnish. Almost too good as we had huge helpings.
