Pumpkin Gingerbread

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009

So so so delicious! Like other reviewers, I doubled my spices (except the cloves) and baked at 325 for 70 minutes. Turned out perfect!

Made the chocolate cake on the back of the cocoa box. Added this frosting. Who needs a man? :-)

Easy Pancakes

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009

I omitted the oil, cut the baking powder to 2 tsp & added vanilla. Delicious! Light and fluffy.

Don't get me wrong: this is delicious! BUT, (there's always a but!) I couldn't really taste the cherries/pineapple. I left out the coconut, but I like the idea of the coconut cream addition as another reviewer suggested. It just tasted like a good banana bread w/a slightly different texture. Oh, and this is VERY sweet (this coming from a person that likes her coffee a syrup-y consistency). I will cut down on the sugar next time.

'So This Is What Heaven Tastes Like!' Cream Cheese Bars

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2009

These were not "bars" at all. The 3 eggs made this very dense and cakey. I was expecting more of a cheesecake flavor, but the cream cheese is hardly noticeable. The texture was heavy and thick. They also took 45 minutes to cook and was still a little raw in the middle when I removed it from the oven. I was disappointed and ended up throwing most of it away.

Mom's Best Waffles

Reviewed: May 31, 2009

I usually purchase the Krusteaz waffle mix, but this was almost an identical replica. Great waffles! I use a round single-waffle iron, and I was able to make 6 waffles.

Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2009

Okay, so I always despise when people completely change the recipe & then review it, but ... here I go. I subbed one cup of butter, subbed walnuts for the chocolate chips, added cranberries and orange extract. Too yummy! Has a fluffy, cake-like texture and is different from the ordinary. Oh, and I know there's quite a few banana oatmeal cookie recipes, but I chose this one because it used quick-cooking oats. The spices were perfect ... go ahead and try it!

Delicious Grilled Hamburgers

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2009

These were excellent! Mixed the ground beef before work, let it sit in the fridge all day to "meld" and then grilled them for dinner. YUM.

Rum Cranberry Applesauce Bundt Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2009

I think soaking the cranberries in rum would eliminate the dry texture of the cake. The glaze is super good but almost needed to be doubled. It wasn't bad right out of the oven, but the next day, it was super dry. I think the cranberries sucked all the moisture right out.

Spicy Beef Curry Stew for the Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2009

This was good. BUT...it definitely needs spicing up. I'm pretty good at "doctoring" my recipes, and this was one of them. The heat was just right, but I added almost twice the curry, garlic salt and lots of pepper. Served it over rice.

Szechwan Shrimp

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2009

I was not impressed. It lacked depth? I'm not sure, but I followed the recipe. It needs more spice or something. Don't think it will be a repeat.

Cheesecake Cookie Cups

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2009

What's not to like? Per other reviewers, I used sugar cookie dough. Just bought the roll, sliced a cookie and placed it in the cup. Doubled the recipe but only ended up using one cookie roll. Placed a sliced strawberry on top and then drizzled milk chocolate over that. Perfect presentation. They taste wonderful, although next time I will go for more filling versus cookie.

Chicken Enchiladas with Creamy Green Chile Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 12, 2009

Still unsure about this. The onion in the filling gave a sweet taste, which I didn't like. However, the sauce was a bit redeeming. Sprinkled black olives and jalapenos on top after baking, along with the green onion. I think it has potential but the filling needs more.

What's not to like? I had to stab myself with a fork to stop eating the peanut butter/chocolate combo. YUMYUM.

Chow Mein Noodle Casserole

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2009

A house guest requested this recipe since his mom used to make it when he was a kid. It was different, not something I would normally make. I added mushrooms and water chestnuts, used garlic almonds that you find in the salad section. I also added plenty of garlic salt and pepper. Both of my children loved it, good comfort food.

Barbeque Pork Two Ways

Reviewed: Jan. 24, 2009

I loved this! I always make beef bbq, but this was so good. I like the fact that the sauce isn't a thick one, just more of a flavoring. Very delicious and makes A TON. We've made about 12 sandwiches out of it and are still going!
