Perfect Apple Pie

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2012

I made this pie again tonight -- I always seem to come back to it after trying other recipes (including ones on this site) that don't come close to matching this one. I added 1/4 t. salt to the filling (salt is mentioned in the directions, but not the ingredients list in the recipe) and used Barefoot Contessa's pie crust, but I will never again make another apple pie filling besides this one. This is it!

Coconut (Haupia) and Chocolate Pie

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2012

I don't know what happened -- my top layer ended up being very rubbery. The chocolate layer is delicious and smooth, but I've just been peeling off the top layer and eating the chocolate part.

Soft, Moist and Gooey Cinnamon Buns

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2012

These were, as promised, moist and gooey. Slightly *too* gooey in the middle, however. They probably could have used a few more minutes in the oven. Superb, though -- even after a couple days they weren't dry and crusty like other buns.

Cranberry Scones

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2012

These were fabulous! I used half cream/half milk because I didn't have any half-and-half, left the cranberries whole, and used ground pecans instead of walnuts. After baking, I used some of the juice from the orange I zested and combined it with a cup of powdered sugar to brush onto the warm scones. Perfect cold weather breakfast treat!

Cinnamon Cream Roll-Ups

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2012

The kids liked these, but I didn't really care for them. I halved the filling and it was still enough for all but about 3 slices of an entire loaf of bread.

Cinnamon Pumpkin Waffles

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2012

These tasted fantastic, even if they weren't light, fluffy and crispy like a traditional, 'un-healthier' waffle. They were denser and floppier, but very flavorful. I replaced the applesauce with extra pumpkin, and my kids really enjoyed them. Keeper recipe!

Butternut Squash Soup II

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2011

Husband raved! I used sweet potato instead of carrot and added a splash of cream at the end. Will definitely be making this recipe every autumn!

Ginger Bars

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2011

I went out of town for a day, came back, and the entire pan was gone! Beautifully moist and delicious, definitely not cakey, with a nicely balanced ginger flavor. I baked mine for around 38 mins., which made the edges slightly crispier than I would have liked, but the interior was perfect and cut into squares with no problem. These will be a fall tradition from now on.

Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2011

Everyone absolutely loved this soup, including a picky 6-year-old who proclaimed, "I don't like soup!" yet proceeded to eat the entire bowl. Really easy and tastes fantastic. Definitely a keeper.

Delicious! I used half the mix and froze the other half for later. Will definitely use this recipe often.

Microwave Potato Chips

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2011

I've used this recipe a dozen times now and my son loves these healthier potato chips as much as the ones that come in a bag from the store. I use Russets most of the time and they still turn out browned and crispy and delicious, although I think the Yukon Golds have a little more flavor. Great recipe!

Strawberry Oatmeal Bars

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2011

Super-simple to make and they taste fantastic. I can see making these with all different kinds of preserves. Used a 7x11 pan and they turned out perfectly. Great recipe!

Autumn Muffins

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2011

I was very pleasantly surprised by the taste of these muffins. I subbed dates for figs and added raisins instead of nuts. I also halved the recipe which gave me 13 muffins baked in silicone muffin cups, and sprinkled raw sugar on top before baking to give them a nice crunch. The flavors in the muffin are very well balanced with the perfect amount of spices. Definitely a keeper recipe and the perfect autumn treat!

Easy Cream Cheese Danish

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2011

I made these thinking they couldn't possibly be as good as everyone said they were, but I was sooooo wrong! I'm a 'from scratch' baker and dislike using pre-packaged doughs and mixes, but I must say that this recipe came together wonderfully and tastes better than my local grocery-store bakery danishes. The amount of filling was perfect. It seems like a lot at first, but the dough rises in the oven and the filling softens and melts. I added a couple drops of almond extract to the icing, which was the perfect topper. I'm eager to try these with a little raspberry jam in the middle as well. Definitely a keeper recipe!

Artichoke Stuffed Mushrooms

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2011

These were fantastic! The recipe made way more stuffing than needed, which was good because I was eating it out of the bowl before I ever started filling the mushrooms. I used ordinary canned artichoke hearts instead of marinated, and it still tasted great. Excellent recipe!

Candy Bar Fudge

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2011

Tasted great, but the caramel runs out if you leave the fudge at room temperature, creating a sticky, unsightly mess. If you leave the fudge in the fridge, the caramel hardens and it's difficult to eat. I used toasted pecans and yes, it tasted fantastic, but I would hesitate to give these as a gift considering the runny caramel.

Crispy Potato Wedges

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2011

Absolutely crispy and tasty, and gone within minutes! Twenty minutes on each side was perfect for beautiful, golden-brown fries. Will make again and again!
