Delicious. I didn't peel the eggplant and next time may add mushrooms...really good dish!

The key to getting chewy and not "cakey" brownies is to NOT use a mixer. I used a silicone spatula to mash and mix. Over mixing the batter will result in the chewy. These were great and I didn't make the frosting. I also topped the batter with a sprinkle of chocolate chips before placing it in the oven.

Surprise Banana Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2010

I left out the nuts, used butter with salt in it (and left out the ex. 1/2 tspn salt) and added about 3/4 cup sour cream which I read moistens a cake. PERFECTION! Sour Cream Frosting, also from this site, topped it off.

Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Scones

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2010

I made these without the hazelnuts OR chocolate chips and used 2 tspns of almond extract and thought they were great. Next time I will try adding some hazelnut liquor since hazelnuts are kind of hard to find in the regular grocery store. Very nice recipe that makes a nice amont.

Hershey's ® 'Perfectly Chocolate' Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2010

Very good cake. I did not add the 1 tsp salt to the cake portion. Just seemed like a lot of salt on top of the baking soda. The frosting was a good consistency. I added 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to the frosting and thought it was a nice compliment to the chocolately-ness of this cake.

Great recipe! I added a little milk and increased the cheese by about a cup. It was gooey, not runny.

Fried Dill Pickles

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2010

These are GREAT! The drier the pickles, the better since it holds the batter better.

Apple Crumble Pie

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2010

OY this is good! I cut up about 4 med. sized apples into 1/2 inch. chunks (i used yellow apples and a green); enough to create a mountain in a frozen deep dish pie crust. I put the dry ingredients plus about 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg and 1 tablespoon flour, into a plastic bag to shake up the apples then poured it ALL into the pie crust. Four helps thicken the juices. I cooked it at 350 for about 1 hour 10 min. until the juices started bubbling up the sides of the pie. What a delicious smell it created and to eat it was heavenly even without vanilla ice cream.

Jan's Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2010

VERY good. Very moist. I made this in a 9x13 glass pan and cooked for about 45 or 50 min. I, like others, used coffee instead of water. You don't taste the coffee once its baked but you will taste it in the batter. I used "Caroline's Chocolate Fudge Frosting" to frost this beauty. It covered the entire top of the 9x13.

Best Ever Banana Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2010

OMG -lives up to its name. I used about 4 small very ripe bananas which I microwaved for about 20 seconds and then pureed. Probably ended up with a bit more than a cup but I thought it perfect. I added 1 teaspoon vanilla like MANY other posters, used butter instead of the oil and used only 1 cup of sugar and thought it was plenty sweet. Also sliced up some bananas very thinly and placed them on top right after pouring the batter in. Gave it a nice look but isn't necessary.

Bacon Wrapped Hamburgers

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2010

Very good burger. I didn't have bacon but needed a good hamburger recipe. This is a keeper. I didn't use the egg because I don't like the texture that results when you do that (which is soft and mooshy). I would also say there is a good deal of salt in this recipe. That's something I might cut next time. Between the salt, the worcestershire and the bacon...LOTS of salt.

Sour Cream Pound Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2010

A VERY sweet poundcake. I will be cutting the sugar in 1/2 next time. I, like many here, cooked it at 350 for 1 hr. 10 min. I also added about 2 teaspoons of lemon extract just because I like lemon. Would likely be great with either 2 tspns Vanilla or Almond extract too. Look forward to making this one again!
