Grandmother Stougaard's Caramel Pecan Sweet Rolls

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2008
these were very good. the only reason i rated this as four starts is because the "caramel" was runny when i filled the buns onto a plate after i took them out of the oven. it didn't really stick to the top of the rolls. i think i'll omit the water next time. otherwise, these were very yummy. even the dough tasted so much better than the pre-made rolls at the store and mall. i am definitely going to try this recipe again, thanks so much for sharing!

Sweet Dinner Rolls

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2008
these rolls tasted pretty good. they had a nice flavor, although they were a little tough the next day. i added about 2 tbsp of clover honey just because i love honey, but i'm sure they are good w/o that addition. i didn't want to use my breadmaker so i did it by hand. mix the water, a pinch of sugar, and yeast together (i just put them in a measuring cup) and let it proof, about ten minutes or until it gets bubbly. then just mix all the ingredients together (i usually use a wooden spoon), adding the flour last, until you have a sticky dough. knead on a floured surface until you get a smooth ball, place in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or greased plastic wrap, and let it rise about 2 hrs in a warm place. then follow the directions from there. my apt was kind of cool, so it didn't rise really well the first time, but after i shaped them (i just cut into squares, i had about 24 rolls), buttered the tops, and let them rise again while i drove to mom's in the warm car (about 45 minute drive), they about doubled in size. they cooked for about 20 minutes and everyone loved them. i thought they tasted good, seemed just a tad dry. i may add a little more butter or less flour next time. otherwise, this is a great recipe. thanks for sharing.

Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2008
this recipe was yummy with a few modifications-used whole wheat french bread; like others, i put the bananas (two) in the food processor w/the liquids so there were no "chunks", just banana flavor (could've used one more, but they weren't super-ripe either so that's my fault); used 1/4c white and 1/4 brown sugars (PLENTY sweet enough); threw in a couple handfuls of walnuts; added a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg (didn't measure it, whoops); and while it was still warm i took a knife and tried to "swirl" the chocolate chips throughout so we wouldn't bite into whole chocolate chips. i didn't use the water bath, baked in a glass 9x13" for about 45-50 mins. great warm or cold, especially with good quality vanilla ice cream. everyone loved it. thanks so much for this recipe!

Chantal's New York Cheesecake

Reviewed: May 25, 2008
This recipe was just ok. The only change I made to the recipe was to add some melted chocolate to the recipe to create a marbled cake, and it was still kind of bland. I ended up with two canyon-sized cracks in the cake, and the crust was very crumbly and unstable. This turned out to be a "fluffy" cheesecake, not a dense on like I was expecting.

Million-Dollar Pound Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2008
this pound cake was good, although i thought it was a little dry as well. i baked it for 1 hr 40 min, putting it into a cold oven. i don't think it was overcooked (i checked doneness at 1 hr 20 and it wasn't quite done yet), so i may add more eggs or milk next time to see if that results in a moister cake. i did all vanilla extract instead of using vanilla and almond and the flavor was excellent. thanks for sharing this recipe. ***Update: used 1 full cup of milk and it turned out absolutely delicious and moist.***

Brooke's Best Bombshell Brownies

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2007
These were good, but not fantastic. I did follow suggestion and use half brown and half white sugar. They were very sweet, I think next time I will cut the sugar down to 2.5c. Also, the vanilla flavor was a little strong for my liking, maybe 1/2 tbsp would work better. I made two batches and added about 1c chopped walnuts to one of the batches. I preferred those to the plain ones. Not a bad recipe, I will continue tweaking it to my liking.

Chocolate Banana Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2007
For me, this was a five-star recipe with the following additions: 1/8c more cocoa powder, about 1/4c more sugar, 1 additional egg, about 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/8 tsp nutmeg. I used walnuts and also added in about 8-10oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (just used what I had left). I used two large ripe bananas. It baked for about 70 minutes, then I let it cool, covered in foil. It was delicious!

World's Best Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2006
this was just okay. very very sweet and it made far too much filling for one pie crust, even when i cut the milk down to 3/4c. i wouldn't call this world's best.

Bread Machine Rolls

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2006
delicious and so easy to make. i made it per the recipe, minus the milk powder (didn't have any) and egg wash. i just brushed some melted butter on them as someone suggested and they turned out great. thanks so much for this recipe; i will definately be making this one again.

Best Ever Muffins

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2006
these were good, not great. you definately need to add some flavoring to them or they just taste like sugary nothing. they are also very very sweet, so i'd cut back on the sugar if you want to make savory muffins. i added bananas, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar to make banana nut muffins. they were pretty good, but not the best muffin recipe i've used.

Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2006
very good basic mac & cheese recipe, although it feeds way more than three people. i halved the recipe and that fed about five as a side dish. i do recommend using more cheese, though. i used about 2.5c and that's making half of the recipe. i also added seasoned salt instead of regular salt with the pepper. it turned out pretty well. thanks for sharing.

Chocolate Cavity Maker Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 25, 2006
this cake was delicious. i used amarula cream liquor instead of the coffee liquor, as one reviewer suggested, and it turned out perfect! i also cut the chocolate chips down to about 1.5c, but i don't think 2c would have been bad. one hour was the perfect baking time, and although it may not look done it is; just make sure you let it cool at least 15 minutes before taking it out of the pan. i just topped it with some sliced strawberries and it was beautiful. this is the perfect cake for chocoholics!
