Loved this recipe!! The only changes I made was adding the lemon zest from 3 lemons and used Splenda in place of the granulated sugar. Added some powdered sugar when it was completely cooled. Delicious!!

Best Ever Pie Crust

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2009

This was my second time making this recipe, and I think it turned out really well. I used half shortening, and half butter, and the crust came out really flaky and buttery. The first time I used all butter, and I think it came out tasty, but not flaky enough. This was a good balance, but next time, I'll try to follow the recipe exactly to see what happens. Still trying to perfect my technique, but I'm getting there! Thanks for the recipe, I'll definitely use it again!!

Raspberry Pie I

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2009

LOVED this recipe!! It was the first fruit pie I ever made, and it turned out delicious! I used the "Best ever Pie Crust" recipe (my second time....still working on it), and it really turned out great! I used fresh raspberries, and Splenda instead of sugar (only one cup). I didn't need the extra water, I just rinsed the raspberries with water, and the mixture seemed wet enough. No runny pie! I even forgot the butter accidently, and it still was fantastic. Will definitely use this recipe again and again!!

Baked Cream Corn

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2009

Loved this recipe! Forgot to put in the butter, but didn't even need it. I also put in the extra tablespoon of flour, which worked well. Will make this one again.

Grandma's Corn Pudding

Reviewed: Jun. 3, 2009

LOVE this recipe!! It such an easy and inexpensive side dish and great for holidays, too. I actually leave out the sugar entirely and it's still super sweet because of the sugar that is added to the canned corn and creamed corn.

Basic Flaky Pie Crust

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2009

Mine didn't flake, but it still tasted pretty good. Didn't know how long to bake it, but it ended up okay. May try it again...we'll see.

I LOVE this recipe! I used no sugar added natural chunky peanut butter and replaced the sugar with Splenda. I dipped my fork in Splenda to make the criss cross hatch marks. Delicious and guilt free!

Sweet and Sour Pork III

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2009

This was a good recipe...a little too much sauce for the amount of meat and veggies, but overall, the taste is good.

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2009

I had some problems with this one....the filling wouldn't set. The flavor was good, but it was only partly eaten at Thanksgiving. I would not try this one again..sorry!

J.P.'s Big Daddy Biscuits

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2009

These are AWESOME!! Truly the best biscuits I have ever made, and SO easy, too! I followed the recipe exactly except I used Smart Balance 50/50 butter, and they were perfection. Didn't change any of the measurements, and it even worked at the high altitude where I live! Thanks for the recipe!

Sean's Falafel and Cucumber Sauce

Reviewed: May 17, 2008

The flavor was pretty good. However, like other reviewers, the first batch was fine, then the subsequent batches fell apart. The oil foamed up and all I had left was falafel crumbs. Not sure what the problem was, but probably won't use this recipe again.

Old Fashioned Apple Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2003

This pie turned out horribly! The taste was very good, but it was very, very watery. I think you should at least triple the amount of flour in the recipe. I would not try this recipe again!

Easy Slow Cooker Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2003

It smelled great while it was cooking, but when I opened the lid, it was a big, gloppy, gooey mess! I tried some, and even after spicing it up like the other reviewers said to do, it was still bland. The ONLY thing I think could have possibly saved this dish would be to cook the rice separately....but then everything could easily be done in a skillet or in an oven with much better results...negates the need for a crock pot.
