Bacon Cheddar Deviled Eggs
WoW!!! Great recipe! I've made deviled eggs plenty of times and didn't really think they could get any better, but they have. The bacon makes them that much better! The batch I made were gone in a blink, I will definitely be making these again and again. I followed the recipe exactly and added a little yellow food coloring for presentation per another reviewers suggestion. I also added more mustard than instructed because I am a mustard lover, but they would be just as fabulous without this change. Thanks for sharing!

Buttermilk Pound Cake II
Delicious!! Great recipe! I made it almost exactly as-is and divided the batter between two loaf pans, yum! I read all of the most helpful reviews first, but decided against making any substantial changes. My son and I are big fans of Starbucks' iced lemon pound cake and I wanted to see if I could emulate it. Consequently, I added an extra 1/2 teaspoon each of the vanilla and lemon extracts. I love the lemon flavoring so next time I will probably add even more extract and some fresh lemon juice! I did follow the advice of another reviewer and dusted the pan lightly with powdered sugar after greasing. This created a great thin crust and helped the cake fall right out of the pan. The only other thing I did following a review was to brush on a thin icing made from powdered sugar, lemon juice, and a little water, mixed to a glue-like consistency. This made the perfect cake even better in my opinion. However, my son (he's 4) still liked Starbucks' better because of the thick icing, so next time I'll make my icing thicker and apply numerous layers of it for him. This is a fabulous pound cake that is good from the start, but gets even better, if that's even possible, and more moist after a couple of days. I will be using this recipe for my pound cake for years to come, just as is. All those that try to alter ingredients so much lose the true essence of the recipe. Thanks for sharing!

Easy Tuna Casserole
Excellent and Super Easy! I'm a fan of quick, delicious meals and this fits the bill perfectly. I doubled the recipe because I had the ingredients to do so, and my family loves leftovers. It was fabulous! If my 3year old gobbles it up I always consider it a success, and this was no exception! I mixed the tuna and soup in a bowl before adding them to the pasta for even distribution, and this worked best for me. The onions on top are the best part in my opinion, adding flavor and a little crunch. I didn't quite have enough to double the onions, but next time I will make sure I do. The more, the better! Thanks for sharing!
