My cooking tragedies
My first chocolate from scratch cake . . . I didn't know that the shortening called for in the recipe needed to be Crisco. I used vegetable oil. It was a disaster. It was probably 5 or 6 years before I tried another scratch cake again.

Overnight Coffee Cake
I made this for New Year's morning, because my granddaughter wanted "cinnamon rolls" and I didn't feel like going to the grocery store, one more time. After reading the reviews, I decreased the nutmeg to 1/2 tsp and added 1 tsp cinnamon to the coffee cake. I also used half all purpose flour and half whole wheat flour. Next time (and there will be a next time) I will use the suggestions about a streusel topping; a little less sugar and a little more flour / oats would be good. The grandkids all loved it! It also kept well (what little was left) until we could finish it off the next morning. Thanks for the great recipe!

Slow Cooker Vegetable Chili
I made this for a Lenten soup supper (so it had to be meatless). I thought it was too spicy, but was told that people enjoyed it (and there was none left over). After reading reviews, I omitted the zucchini and added a can or corn (drained). I added a 16 oz can of diced tomatoes, used 28 ounce can of crushed (not whole) tomatoes and decreased the chili powder to 3 Tablespoons.

Sugar-Free Raisin Bars
I have been looking for sugar free recipes to use for a bake sale. Only changes I made were to use Kroger "Brown Baking Sweetener" as the sugar substitute and increased the vanilla to 1/2 tsp. I did use 1/2 cup of the brown sugar substitute and did not think it was too sweet. Very moist and reminds me of applesauce cake. I will make this again.
