I really liked these. I added about 2 cups of pecans, because I had some on hand and they were a hit. You could expierment with this one and add more or less of anyhting. I did buy the popcorn oil which was quite expensive, I think canola oil or vegatable oil would work just fine. I will be making more of these for the holidays.

Bar Stool Pretzels

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2009

These were ok to me, my freind loved them. It is a good idea, but I didn't really care for the tast of these. I didn't cook them but about 45 min cause I didn't want them to burn. I doubt if I will make these again.

Macaroni Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2009

I did not like this very much. It seemed to have too much celery taste in it. It needed more sweetness and creaminess. I ended up adding more sour cream and more mayonaise just so I could eat it. I will try a different recipe next time.

Tomatillo Guacamole

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2009

This is a good recipe. I had a hard time finding the tomatillo's at my local supermarket, so I went to the Latino supermarket and of course they had them. I used more crushed red pepper than what this recipe called for and more tabasco sause, I like it spicy, but it really wasn't too spicy. My mom could still eat it. This recipe probally would be a little better with some cilantro in it. My favorite guacamole from this website is LuvAnn's Guacamole, you should check that one out.

Spicy Steamed Shrimp

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2009

I had never fixed shrimp like this before and I'm telling you this is the way to fix em. We do not have a steamer basket so here is how we did it. I put the water in the tall pasta pot, then I got the collander to put the shrimp in, then I set the collander on top of the pot and it fit down in there perfectly. This worked great. Also, I only used about 3T of Old Bay. It was messy to eat, but it reminded me of being at the beach on vacation. Now I know how to steam shrimp.

Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2009

These are oh so good and talk about easy! Wow, I normally don't like baking cookies but these are so easy to make that you have to try them. Anyway I would suggest that you only cook them for 11 minutes so they stay nice and soft.

Zesty Coleslaw

Reviewed: Mar. 22, 2009

You must really like the taste and the sensation that comes from eating horseradish if you are going to enjoy this coleslaw. I was not quite prepared for this kind of coleslaw. Some people might enjoy it but I really didn't. It is definately different from regular coleslaw, sometimes different is better, but not in this case.

Beef and Noodles in Crockpot

Reviewed: Mar. 2, 2009

Well, this is a really easy one. I did add a can of mushrooms to the crock pot. We had this over noodles, but we think we would like it better over rice, because it has so much sauce. We kept the crock on low and we figured it was done cooking in about 6 hours. I will definately make again.

Apple Cole Slaw

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2008

Not bad at all. A good way to use apples that might be sitting around. I will make again. I used the pre-shredded cabbage in the bag, which made it even easier.

Iced Pumpkin Blondies

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2008

These were not bad, I gave a lot of them away to friends and they seemed to like them. It was a good way to use the rest of the pumpkin mix I had leftover from another recipe.

Libby's® Pumpkin Roll with Cream Cheese Filling

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008

I have always wanted to make one of these, but I was somewhat intimidated to do so. Well, let me tell you this thing is awesome and not really that hard to make, the first one you make is a learning experence and then the next time you make it it will come very easy to you. I did use parchment paper to roll up mine and that worked fine. I can't wait to make more of these to give as gifts to people during the holidays.

Eclair Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2008

This was a great recipie and so easy to make. I've had it before at a company party and I always wanted to make it. This is so easy I'm going to let my 7 year old neice make it next time. I did heat the frosting in the microwave for about 40 sec and the poured the icing over the cake. That made it even easier. I will definately make this one again.

Impossible Buttermilk Pie

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2008

I thought this pie was great and sooooo easy to make. I like to serve this pie after it has chilled in the refrigerator. I will definately make this one again.

Chocolate Chess Pie II

Reviewed: Jul. 7, 2008

I enjoyed this simple recipe. It works best after it has chilled in the refrigerator for a while, then cut and serve with whipped cream. Also, you may want to put foil around the edges of the pie crust so it doesn't get too brown. I will definately make this again, especially since I usually have all the ingredients on hand.
