Asian Asparagus Salad with Pecans

Reviewed: Mar. 15, 2011

Tweeked it quite a bit so it's not fair to say I didn't like THIS recipe. Do NOT marinate for 24 hrs. WAY, WAY too long....strong flavor. Used slivered almonds instead.....just okay for me...probably would not make again.

Pear Crumb Pie

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2011

This was delicious...BETTER than apple pie. I don't particulary care for pears but had 3 left over from the holidays that we got from Harry & David. Decided to try this and it was soo good. Served it w/vanilla ice cream. Also, changed the pie crust a bit...used 1/4 cup crisco and about 4 Tbs. of butter...came out amazing!!

Lemon Poppy Seed Biscotti

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2010

Was not crazy about these. I added fresh lemon juice as well as the lemon extract. There was too much poppy seeds as well. I found the dough to be flaky and it was hard to put it together so it didn't fell apart. It needed more liquid and that's when I added the fresh lemon juice. I also cooked it longer the second part of the baking. They were so boring that I frosted them with lemon frosting. Have had and made better. Will not make them again.

Needed a butter recipe b/c I was out of crisco and this was really good and flaky. Made a pecan pie out of it. Would definitely make again.

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2009

It was very good AFTER I added additional ingredients to it otherwise it would have been a bit blah. I doubled the celery,onion and ham. I substituted the chicken bouillon with ham bouillon (squares) and added lots more salt, pepper, butter and dash of cayenne pepper.

Tiramisu Layer Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2009

I doubled the coffee liquier in this recipe as well as the coffee and it still could have used a bit more moisture. It was very good but it needed to be a bit more moist. I made this 2 days before I served it so that all the flavors would blend. I would triple the coffee amounts and double or triple the liquier amounts too. I made chocolate covered leaves and put shaved chocolate on top. Very pretty.

Apricot Chicken I

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2007

Decided to make it for a group of 14 (after not making it for 25 yrs.) I am not a chicken eater. Everyone loved it. After 30 minutes I took the cover off and baked it like that so the chicken would crisp up a bit. I also take the excess skin off but leave some on it. You can use any parts of the chicken that you like. Very moist.

Sam's Famous Carrot Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2007

Very moist and easy to make. I used the packaged buttermilk (which you add water to)and put cream cheese icing on it. Didn't last too long. I am not a lover of carrot cake, but this was exceptional.

Pineapple Mango Pie

Reviewed: May 2, 2006

Wonderful and so easy to make. I used fresh pineapple instead of canned and added an extra Tbs. of tapioca. Was not watery at all. I would recommend letting it sit for at least 1/2 day so the juices don't flow when you cut it. It needs to sit for a while. WOW!!! No wonder I love mango dishes!! Stored this recipe in my mailbox and will definitely make it again.

Cinnamon Hazelnut Biscotti

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2003

After making the dough, I refrigerated it for 30 minutes - it made it easier to work with the dough. I also doubled the cinnamon (2 tsp.) amount and baked it longer - made the 10 minute part about 15 minutes. The inside seemed too soggy at 10 minutes. I also dipped them in semi-sweet chocolate on one side. If you can get hazelnuts, by all means it does have a better taste. My friend came over for coffee this morning and raved about them. Would definitely make them again.
