Bread Machine Bagels
Very, very good. I agree with the last review. Extremely hard to get off the pan. I will grease the pans next time. I also added an additional 2T water per other reviewers. Making a 2nd batch today with blueberries!

Grandma's Sour Cream Pound Cake
This was really, really good! I'm not a big lover of pound cakes, but this with homeade whipped cream and fresh berries was fabulous! Received lots of compliments. I did bake at 325 and added 2x the vanilla extract. The only thing I may change next time is to add more mace. I'm not sure a pinch did much. I couldn't taste it.

Beef or Chicken Enchiladas
These were by far, the best enchiladas I have ever had, and that includes Mexican restaurants! I made the full recipe but only ended up with 4 (huge) enchiladas and I needed all of the sauce. I added about 1 tablespoon of tomato paste (the kind in the tube) which pinked up the sauce and added just a bit of flavor. This sauce was 10,000 times better than the canned red sauce. I also used the full 2 cups of cheese. They were perfectly gooey! I should also add though that we made our own tortillas, which only added to the perfection of the dish. :-)
