Unbelievable Cheese Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 26, 2012

Wow I have made several versions of this cheese cake and getting more and more inventive. Just by adding different things to the batter: Crush the soft peppermint candies and fold into batter for peppermint cheese cake. when making the 2 box recipe remove 1/4 of the graham cracker mixture and add apple pie filling on top of the the cheese cake mixture after the filling is set and sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture for a Apple Pie Cheese Cake. ANd the best one I have done is the cookies and cream cheese cake. for the double box recipe instead of using the graham cracker crust take 1 package of oreo cookies and crush them in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Make the batter and crush another package of oreos and fold into batter then pour into pan and let set over night. So heavenly. I am thinking my next will be a german chocolate cheese cake made with brownies in the bottom of 9x13 pan add in the filling and spread the coconut icing over top. Maybe some alterations not sure but sounds yummy.

Waldorf Salad I

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2010

I wanted to try something healthier with this recipe so I did make a few changes. I omitted the salad dressing/mayo and took a large container of whipped cream and added in warmed up package of cream cheese. I also doubled the recipe used granny smith apples and stirred in a bag of mini marshmallows. I also used a bag of glazed walnuts because they were less expensive. I made it for a ladies fellowship. Was loved by all. and they even took the leftovers home.

Powdered Sugar Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009

Recipe gotten from a bag of powdered sugar. Made them for my Mom and she was hooked. Made them with mini bear cutters so she could eat them on the way home and they were gone in 6 hours. They are soft and sweet.

Fruit Pizza

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2009

Making individual Fruit pizza's for a Ladies retreat with the spread and glaze. Plan on using soft sugar cookies from the store and top with Slice of Kiwi, Strawberry & a few blueberries. Can't wait to try this out! Looks yummy. Out of all the recipes I have looked at this one seemed the easiest and most appealing. Will rate it fully after the retreat. Thanks for the recipe.

Sunday Clark's Cornbread

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2008

When I tried this it was so moist and tender. I immediately thought much better than Jiffy. Then I found out it was Jiffy only not in the traditional way that it is made.

Fruit-Topped Buttermilk Pancakes

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2008

This was agood recipe. I only made the pancakes and they turned out great. The bater was not too thick or thin. I did let the batter sit about 10 minutes while I finished getting ready for the day. I used a pancake baker and they did not burn. they were fluffy and the flavor was nice and smooth. These stayed with us longer than other recipes or box mixes do. I doubled the recipe and it made 16 8 inch pancakes. They don't have the bitter taste that other recipes have and the don't fall apart either. I asked my DH and he said they were good. Our boys went for seconds. Thanks for the recipe I will make this again over and over.

Waffles II

Reviewed: Apr. 1, 2008

These were ok. They were doughy in the center and not sweet. After tasting the first one I added in a small amount of sugar and they still lacked a sweet flavor. Was hoping to find a recipe that had few ingredients and flavorful without the syrup.

Apple Dumpling Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2008

This was really good Amy. Does not have an overly sweet taste. I used motts apples. I would use Granny Smith or Red Delicious next time. (we did not care for the motts apples too soft and we needed to use them up). A good firm apple is best for this recipe. Was very good and definitely a keeper. Thanks Amy for the quick and easy recipe. Oh MY I am keeping my previous post in here but I had to say that Amy I had cut too many apples and had to mix up a 2nd batch. Everyone really loved the first one. But my youngest devoured the second one. He started picking at it bit by bit till nothing was left. This was in a 9/13 pan and he had it gone in a day.

Butter Snow Flakes

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2007

I made this with only 2 substitutions. I used lemon zest and almond flavoring instead of vanilla. Even after refrigerating it was sticky. The cookie itself was chewy in the center and crisp around the edges. With cold milk they tasted really awsome. I rolled them into balls and pressed into sugar then flattened them on the cookie sheet. When I tasted them by themselves they had a weird after taste. Not sure what it was. Not sure if I will try this again. Maybe it was the substitutions that made it off. Anyways I give them 4 stars. My Husbnd loved them...

Onion Rings

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2007

I am only going to rate this a 3 right now. I used bisquick mix and I want to try it with some others before I finalize this. I would not use it with Bisquick they did not have much flavor. They seemed to be lacking something. That is why am waiting to fully rate it.

Lemon Poppy Seed Amish Friendship Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2007

This recipe was so delicious! Ok I did make some changes as I made muffins. First I only had the Mango/Mandarin Orange applesauce my kids take with them in their lunches. I assumed it was 1/2 cup. It gave it some awesome flavor. If you all haven't tried it with different applesauces yet you should try it. I made 20 lage size muffins. I probably added to much of the batter in the cups. But that did not take away from their taste. I baked them at 425 for 20 to 23 minutes. The first batch 23 the last 20 they were golden brown and oh so moist. I did add in quite a bit more poppyseeds than it called for. I went for how the instant mixes looked and just added more in till it looked right. My husband said that these were much better than the instant mixes. served with ice cold milk on the side they are sweet, moist and they even melt in your mouth. Thank you for the recipe. Next batch: Banana Nut Muffins with Blueberry morning applesauce. Should be interesting. Thanks!!!

Amish Friendship Bread Starter

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2007

Thank you so much for this recipe. When My Husband saw the ziplock bag on the counter he looked at me and said not again!!! He told me you never know who had this stuff in their kitchen and what kind of conditions it had been in. Well with this there is no worry. After I started making the muffins I showed him that the whole recipe came from here. He did not say anything to that (which means really good!). Thanks for the great and useful recipe. Will be using this for years to come. Oh and by the way when my son put an older starter not this one, into the refrigerater it did not want to start back up. It had been in over night and I kept it out for 7 days and it never got bubbly. I assumed that it killed the yeast or active ingredients. Also metal spoons will cause it to do the same. Not from me personally but a friend had this happen to hers.

Amazingly Good Eggnog

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2007

This eggnog was wonderful. Thick, Creamy with awesome flavor. I omitted the rum and it was very good. I used a hand mixer instead of a wisk tho. I also used a slotted spoon to take out the cloves. Yes it does take longer than the quick recipes but it is well worth the time. Thanks for the wonderful recipe NATALEESMOM!

Easiest Egg Nog

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2006

Ok I made a couple of changes and it turned out great. The changes were I added another egg and simmered on med-low setting. I had it while it was still hot and the flavor was awesome. When trying new recipes I find you have to change a bit sometimes to suit your tastes. I took off the white creamy part of the egg as it tends to make it lumpy but that did not take long at all. Great recipe. And does not take long to make it. I decided to cook the recipe because my Husband is a transplant patient and I don't want to take any chances. Thanks for the recipe.

Funnel Cakes IV

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2006

Made these again yesterday for a quick snack for the boys when they came in from school. I cooked them in a 9 inch castiron skillet. The boys commented that the more I make these the better they are. I did make 2 substitutions tho. I added vanilla and added 1/2 cup sugar instead. The were wonderful. Also after getting up this morning I made them for breakfast and the kids enjoyed them again. I made a total of 12 cakes. I will make these again for the bake sales and put them into ziplock baggies. Thanks again for the great recipe.

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2006

These were very good. I did make quite a few changes because of what I had on hand. I used margarine instead of shortening I would still use this because shortening tends to make things taste greasy. I only had 1 cup of brown sugar so I added 1 cup of white sugar. And I used the old fashioned oats because I like the texture as opposed to the quick oats that are crumbly and flakey. I baked them for exactly 12 minutes and they came out chewy with a crisy texture around the edges. After cooling they did not get crumbly. Maybe with the changes I made that is why. Not sure. But I will definitely make these again. Thanks for the great recipe.
