This was very tasty, simple to make and includes ingredients that you're sure to have on hand. Although, I was missing extract and cinnamon--I substituted apple pie spice and just left out the extract. All I had on hand was whole wheat, but it worked. Next time I'll try some real THICK sourdough!

Dad's Peach Ice Cream

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2008

Just made this and was very creamy. I must add that the texture was a bit airy--I prefer a denser, icier ice cream, but this was good. The only thing I did different was to cool the mixture for 1 hr instead of 2. The guests rushed me to finish it! Maybe that was the difference--but everybody raved and there was none left.

Bread Pudding III

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2007

This was a good recipe to start with as a foundation, but like most foundations you need to build upon it. It was a little bland. The bread pudding I grew up with was sweeter. I think the next time, I'll start with cinnamon raisin bread, use a little more sugar, and add some rum. I made a homemade caramel sauce to this recipe to give it some oomph! But this is a good basic recipe.

Whisky Tea

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2007

I only give it 4 stars because I'm not a tea drinker (love my java!). But, I have to say that this was very good. I was worried about getting too buzzy or drunk, but the warmth of the drink really made the whiskey smoooth. I used Equal. Very comforting and toasty.

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2007

Anybody who doesn't rate this a 5 Star--doesn't know cc cookies or they did something wrong. This is the BEST BEST BEST cc cookie recipe anywhere. It's a perfect medium between crisp and chewy. I usually spread the batter in a large pan and then cut into as many squares as I want. I have even sepaRated the batter into springform pans and made birthday cookies!!

Cream Cheese Pound Cake III

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2007

I took one look at the pic and then knew this was the poundcake for me--DENSE, crunchy crust at the top, and moist, moist moist! This is good, old-fashoined pound cake like you used to get at church bake sales. Don't change anything--you'll ruin it!Although, the next time, I'll use lemon flavoring--I'm just partial to lemon in pound cakes. This is the best---don't overcook! I took mine out after 1 hr and about 10 min--still moist and glistening on top.

Swedish Meatballs

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2007

Very good and satisfying to the taste buds. I woke up craving this and this recipe fit the bill. I always like to add a little sour cream to mine--and it was just great. We ate them over wide egg, buttered noodles. Dee-lish!!

Apple Enchiladas

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2007

I really thought that from all of the rave reviews that this would be sensational. I was hoping for more of a crunch than a chewy sensation. Also, I couldn't get them to turn the golden brown as in the photo. Next time I get a sweet tooth for some apples and pastry, I'll stick with pies or maybe try a dumpling recipe, instead.

Caramel Popcorn

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2006

I knew it was going to be good based on the reviews. But, I didn't expect such a PERFECT buttery, caramelized, crunchy glaze! This is soooo much better than store bought. I followed the advice of others and kept my popped corn heated in my big blue broiler (lined with wax paper) while the caramel cooked. I placed nuts in my caramel after I finished cooking, then drizzled. I only stirred the corn 2 times and couldn't take it anymore.... we had to try it. We poured it onto waxed paper and let cool for only 30 minutes. Great!

Double-Decker Fudge

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2005

My daughter and I followed the recipe with exact precision. We allowed it to cool 'completely' for about 2 hrs. It had the consistency of a very thick frosting. Put it in the fridge for a while in an attempt to get it to harden. Any suggestions?

Cheesy Spinach Lasagna

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2005

Not good. Was much too bland. The cheese was too thick. Something was missing in the recipe--not the meat, mind you. It was just .....blah, ho-hum, nothing to write home about. Don't waste your ingredients on this one.

The Whole Jar of Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2005

This was a good recipe as far as taste and texture was concerned. But, like another reviewer, I thought the cookie was just a tad bit oily. I was so concerned about over baking, that I took it them out after 10 min. ( I made them large, like you find in the cookie stores). But a pretty good cookie. Not CAKEY--but dense and MOIST !!!!
