Wonderful Waffles

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2011

If you only have one mixer: get out two big bowls and a little bowl. Start by separating the eggs and whipping the whites in one of the big bowls. (set that aside) In the little bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt with the mixer. In the other big bowl, whip the brown sugar and the egg yolks, then whip in the softened butter. Pour the buttermilk into that mixture and keep mixing until it's all creamy. Put away the mixer! Use a spatula to combine the flour and buttermilk mixture. Then mix in a quarter of the whipped egg whites with that spatula. The last of the whipped egg whites will then easily and gently fold in with your spatula. You are going to love these waffles!

Overnight French Toast

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2010

I love this recipe and have two tips: It's two loaves of bread and which fit nicely on two jelly roll pans. If you like your french toast cooked through, bake it at 350 for 30 minutes.

Big Soft Ginger Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2010

I love this recipe! Chilling the dough makes it easier to work with. I have substituted olive oil for the margarine, they still come out great. I have even made them with double the cinnamon and no ginger (for cinnamon lovers). If you like snappy ginger cookies just bake them at 375 degrees. But soft is superior, if you ask me!

Easy Granola Bars

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2008

These work great! I read the reviews and used greased parchment paper in a jellyroll pan. I cut them as soon as they came out and covered with foil, flipped them over on a cooling rack right away. I have made them with many different ingredients and they're always great! Just keep to about 3 cups oatmeal and about 3 cups add-ins. This would be a good recipe for those who have nut allergies with coconut, chocolate and dried fruit!

This was great! We added a little vanilla to the dough. We also mixed the cream with strawberry yogurt for a rich strawberry filling.

Strawberry Jam

Reviewed: May 22, 2008

My husband said, "This is the best strawberry jam I have ever tasted." It did not burn because I used a Pampered Chef pan. I used only 3 cups of sugar and it set well. Amazing!

Cinnamon Belgian Waffles

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2008

This will be our go to recipe from now on. Separating the eggs and whipping the egg whites really is worthwhile!

Linzer Tarts

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2008

Warning-- This dough is very fragile. Since little pieces keep breaking and I have a tendency to "hide" the little broken pieces in my mouth, next time I'll try a different recipe. It's not that it is too much work, it's just really tricky.

Budget-Wise Chicken Pie

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2008

I shredded the vegetables with a food processor, including some onion instead of the onion powder. I also added about a cup of cheese and additional chicken broth. Shredding that way is faster than chopping and cooking them is a lot faster too. In addition my kids found the shredded veggies more palatable.

Flourless Chocolate Cake I

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2007

My mother-in-law is 70 and gluten intolerant. When I presented this cake on her birthday with raspberry sauce she said she plans to live a lot more years so she can keep enjoying this cake! I doubled the recipe and used Cherry Marnier instead of water. Also I had dark chocolate Ghirardelli chocolate chips for the chocolate. I decorated the cake with cherries and whipped cream.

Ice Cream Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 24, 2007

I used 9 inch rounds with a slice from a bucket of icecream. They fit very well and it looked just like a giant ice cream sandwich! Then I frosted the cake using some of the remaining icecream, thanks to the first reviewer's great tip. This was for a boys birthday party so I decorated with swirls of magic shell and let all the boys squirt piles of blue frosting on top! One of the moms thought the cake looked professional, which is tribute to how easy, fun and fabulous this recipe is. (PS--I also substituted Ghidelli brownie mix for chocolate cake mix).

Cookie Balls

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2006

These should be renamed "Cookies and Cream Truffles" Do definately use the food processor: Throw all the sandwich cookies in the processor, puree, then throw in the softened cream cheese, let it go until is completely mixed. Then refridgerate the dough! You can make perfect balls in you do this. I roll the balls, place them on wax paper on a tray in the freezer while I roll more. Then I dip the chilled balls. It's not very speedy but they look nicer.

Banana Muffins II

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2006

When you combine the wet and dry ingredients, DO NOT "beat until smooth". What this wonderful recipe means to say is "gently fold together". This will yield fabulous, moist, delicious muffins.

Blueberry Sauce

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2006

The almond flavor enhances the blueberry flavor--amazing! I like about a tablespoon less corn starch. I have also made this recipe with lemonade instead of orange juice.

Easy Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2006

This recipe is so popular at my husband's monthly brunches at work that he asks me to make it every time. He says everyone loves these muffins because they are ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I'm not entirely happy about that because there is actually nothing particularily easy about this recipe. I have no idea why they have the name easy. Easier than what? How could it be harder? Having made them several times I have learned how they can be made with less effort using a food processor. After I mix the dry ingrediants I put the topping ingredients in the bowl of the food processor and pulse to get crumbs. Then I use the food processor to chop the apples up. I have an apple corer from pampered chef (not that Apple Corer Peeler Slicer which would really help). Then I just cut the peel off of each section of apple. Pulsing the apple slices makes nice little pieces of apple. I also add a little lemon juice to the apples. I also put cream instead of milk since I want the muffins to be delicious and they're for other people. ;)

Choco Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2005

I really like this combination oatmeal cookie and peanut butter cookie. That said I didn't have time or enough chocolate chips to follow all the instructions. I converted this to a drop cookie by omitting the water and only using 2 cups of oatmeal. Instead of adding more peanut butter, I added a half teaspoon of salt. I needed to be as speedy as possible today so I just missed the chocolate chips in. Yum! The cookies are still have plenty of oatmeal but they may be a little cakey the way I made them. I like the because they make such a healthy after school snack with milk.
