I needed some creole seasoning for a recipe and found this one. Oh my, this stuff is great. It has now replaced almost every spice in my cabinet. I make it up in quadruple batches and put it on everything. I LOVE IT! The only thing I do is cut the cayenne down and substitute lemon pepper for the white pepper (that's what I had on hand) Wonderful, thanks for sharing!

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2009

This recipe is the very best for making pumpkin bread. MY only tweaks are, I reduce the salt to 1 teaspoon, I couldn't really see the need for that extra 1/2 t. I also sub pumpkin pie spice for the ginger and cloves (just because I had it on hand). Lastly, I always add 1-2t vanilla, 1 cup walnuts and 1/2 c raisins. Bakery quality bread indeed!

Chicken Stir-Fry

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2009

This recipe is good, but needs tweaking. I added a few cloves of sliced garlic to the chicken first. Then subbed one can of chicken broth (low sodium) for the water and bouillon. I added half the broth when water was called for. Then at the end, I used the other half of the broth with 2T cornstarch, 2T soy sauce, 1T brown sugar, 1/2 t ginger and 1/2 t garlic powder mixed in to make more sauce. It thickens up in minutes and makes more sauce and increases flavos. Absolutely fabulous! Note: I also used lowsodium soy sauce so recipe is not salty at all. Served over rice.

Garlic Butter

Reviewed: Jul. 1, 2008

This was too salty for my taste, from using salted butter, salty parmesan cheese AND garlic salt. Garlic POWDER or better yet, fresh garlic is a much better idea. Pretty tasty with these adjustments.

Porcupines

Reviewed: May 29, 2008

This recipe originally came from the Betty Crocker recipe library, but the worcestershire sauce is left out. That is why is sauce is so bland. You must add 2 teaspoons full to the water/tomatoe sauce mixture. Also, these do not have to be browned first. Just bake, covered until the rice is done, then uncover for the remainder of the cooking time. These really are good when made right.

Squirrel's Great Beef Steak

Reviewed: May 9, 2008

I have used this marinade many times and it is fantastic. Be careful adding salt because this recipe will be too salty. After I made it the first time, I no longer add any of the salts because the soy sauce, italian dressing, and bbq sauce have enough. **UPDATE** I have substituted steak sauce for the bbq sauce and it is even better on steaks. Also, I add a shot of Jack Daniels whiskey. OMG, steak is FULL of flavor and super tender.

Asian Orange Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 26, 2008

I didn't like this recipe very much. Too vinegary and altho I marinated for 2 hours, the flavor was pretty weak. Also, too much cornstarch. The sauce was way too thick. If I have to alter the recipe to make it right, I can't give it a high rating too. Sorry.

Aunt Anne's Coffee Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2008

Light, simple, quick recipe. Makes a tasty, buttery cake. I added a few chopped walnuts to the topping for texture. Other than that, followed the recipe exactly.

Johnny's Grub Rub

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2007

This is absolutely the best rub I have ever made myself. I doubled the recipe and use it on every meat I cook. Not just for grilled meats, I use it on all meats, baked, fried, etc. The only thing I will do different next time is cut the salt back slightly so I can sprinkle it liberally. This stuff is GREAT!

Five Flavor Pound Cake I

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2007

This is a very good pound cake recipe, but the rum flavor is overpowering. Also, the cake is sweet enough without the glaze. With the flavor adjustment and no glaze, this is a very good recipe for pound cake using everyday ingredients.

Bill's Sausage Gravy

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2007

I've never had this dish before, so this was my first time tasting it anywhere. Seems as though it shouldn't be sweet. Will try it again using regular flavored sausage. Also, was thinking this might be good (with reg. sausage) with added cheese and spooned over grits or mashed potatoes. Will post again after I try that. My kids loved it as is and asked for seconds.

Irene's Barbeque Sauce

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2006

This recipe is my new favorite. I increased the brown sugar to 1/4 cup and left out the liquid smoke (because I didn't have any). Tangy, sweet, and delicious!

Chocolate Frosting V

Reviewed: Mar. 25, 2006

This familiar recipe is like the one used by my mother and grandmother. It is much better with butter instead of shortening and increase the cocoa to 2/3 c for a chocolate boost.
