Big Batch Kris Kringle Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2009

I combined this with the Cranberry Oat Cookie recipe. I used 2 c whole wheat flour, 2 c oatmeal, 2 c white chocolate chips, 2 c orange flavoured craisins (finely chopped) and a pinch of cinnamon. I got 87 1 tbsp scoop cookies, baked at 350 for 13 minutes on insulated sheets. Big hit with my son's hockey team :)

Angel Food Candy

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2009

This is by far the best sponge toffee recipe I have made. Only hint is to sift the baking soda first so there are no lumps in the sponge. I doubled the recipe and got 2 1/2 pounds of weight after dipping in dark chocolate.

One Bowl Chocolate Cake III

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2009

Made this for my son's birthday, frosted with Rich Chocolate Frosting, was a big hit. I reduced sugar to 1 1/2 cups, 3/4 white & 3/4 brown, reduced baking soda to 1/2 tsp as some had mentioned strong taste and I don't like that, used coffee for hot water. Baked in 9x13 pan for 35 minutes and it was perfect.

Baked Potato Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009

I altered this recipe to make it healthier, I used 6 potatoes, 1 onion diced, 2 cups shredded cheddar, 1/2 cup fat free sour cream, 1/2 cup fat free ranch dressing, sprinkled top with real bacon pieces and Emeril's Essence made with No Salt. I boiled the onion with the potatoes to soften. My family really liked this, I found it perfect the way I made it, cheesy enough and tasty, plus saved a ton of calories and fat.

Hearty Hamburger Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2009

This so good with few ingredients and things you have around! I used 1 cup barley and added a can of drained and rinsed mixed beans. A big hit, served with Blue Ribbon Overnight Rolls. Can't wait for leftovers :)

Mini Pumpkin Butterscotch Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2009

I was pleasantly surprised, not a fan of butterscotch and had some chips to use up, kids really enjoyed as snacks. I did omit brown sugar and reduced the butter by half and subbed whole wheat flour. Next time I would increase the spices.

Juicy Roasted Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2009

Very tasty! I used 1 tbsp butter in cavity and 1 tbsp on top. I put 2 crushed garlic cloves and a sprig of rosemary in the cavity. I put 1 sprig of rosemary, stalk of celery and a quartered onion in the roasting pan with water to stop them from burning. If your chicken has a "slimy bottom" as someone had mentioned, use a rack in your roaster, which I did or buy air chilled chickens VS water chilled since they have no added water.

Quick and Easy Pancit

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2009

We really liked this. I used onions, green peppers, mushrooms, cole slaw mix and bean sprouts as my vegetables. I made a simple teriayaki sauce of 1/4 cup soya sauce, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/8 cup lemon juice, 2 tsps chopped garlic and 1/2 tsp hot pepper ginger paste, bring to a boil and whisked in dissolving flour until thickened, then I poured over the stir fry instead of just soya sauce. Made lots, great leftovers.

Real Italian Calzones

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2009

I divided into 8 pieces, still quite large, will try 12 or 16 next time to make it more of a snack size. I used spinach, ricotta cheese, pepperoni, garlic, Italian seasoning and mozzarella cheese for my filling. Baked for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Really nice!

Buttermilk Pound Cake II

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2009

Really nice texture and taste. I reduced the sugar to 2 cups as I thought 3 would be too sweet, can't tell the difference. I baked mine in a bundt pan and it was done in 57 minutes, edges were brown and center came out clean with a toothpick. If anyone's cake is dry it is from the cooking length, 90 minutes is way too long.

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2009

These are really good! I didn't have wheat germ so I used oat bran, reduced cinnamon to 1 tsp and left out chocolate chips to reduce fat content. Tasty!

Mushroom Stuffed Beef Rouladen

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2009

I used precut and pounded meat which made the recipe really easy. Was a nice change from the regular rouladen. I added more garlic to the stuffing, probably 1 tbsp minced. I used 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 can of broth and 1 can full of shiraz wine for the gravy, with garlic and black pepper. I let the meat cook for 3 hours in the oven at 250 degrees, then removed the rouladen and thickened the gravy on stove top with instant dissolving flour.

Oma's Cottage Cheesecake

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2009

I made 1 1/2 recipes since I had 3 cups of cottage cheese to use up. I cut the sugar in half since the crusts tend to be sweet. I bought 2 graham cracker crusts and baked the cheesecakes for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. Made a bumbleberry sauce to serve with it, a big hit!

Breakfast Pies

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2009

I found the bottoms browned more than I would like, next time I will bake at 375 for 16 minutes instead of 400 for 18. I substituted bacon pieces for the sausage and they were really tasty. I used jumbo muffin cups and no spillover, they really puff up!

BUSH'S® Red, White and Bean Minestrone

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2009

Very good! I made it vegetarian by leaving out sausage and using vegetable stock instead of chicken. I also used fresh basil instead of the pesto, just my personal preference. My sons really liked the soup and I served it with garlic cheese biscuits from this site
