Restaurant-Style Buffalo Chicken Wings

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2010
Wow! These are wonderful. Followed recipe exactly. We did try this recipe on drumsticks and didn't care for it as much. Was good but small pieces of chicken are much better. Thanks for the recipe.

Cinnamon Griddle Cakes

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2009
I give this recipe 4 stars because I felt like the batter was too "thick". It wasn't thin light other batter. You had to just dump it on the skillet. Something just wasn't right about it. My girls and husband did like the frosting instead of the syrup. I will keep the frosting idea but not the batter part of the recipe.

Rich Chocolate Frosting

Reviewed: Jul. 1, 2009
This recipe makes a ton. I made it exactly as stated with the exception of using 1 3/4 c cocoa instead of the full amount. I used it on a bundt cake and I could easily frost 4 or 5 cakes with the amount this recipe calls for. Didn't care for the taste. My two young daughters wouldn't finish theirs as they didn't like the taste either and when a kid won't finish cake there is something wrong. The cake was awesome (One Bowl Chocolate Cake III)- too bad frosting wasn't. I like more of a milk chocolate flavor which may be why we didn't like it. Also -the butter mixed in with the powdered sugar and then the cocoa is hard to combine. Once the milk is added it is much easier to mix together. Oh well- onto the next frosting!

One Bowl Chocolate Cake III

Reviewed: Jul. 1, 2009
Made this exactly as stated. They weren't kidding when it says the batter will be runny after adding the boiling water. I'm glad I saw that or I would have been worried. I put a mug of water in the microwave for 2 minutes for the boiling water. Whether or not it boiled I have no idea as I didn't watch it but it was hot enough. This cake was amazing. Very spongy and airy and light. Definitely make sure to grease the pan(s) enough. I used a bundt pan and it worked perfectly. Also make sure to let it cool for the 10 minutes- otherwise it may not come out of the pan completely. I will never again buy cake mix (thank goodness!) from a box again! Very quick and easy to make! Thanks ever so much!

Waffles II

Reviewed: Jul. 1, 2009
Followed recipe exactly except added chocolate chip morsels to batter! Yummm! Hubby said that the waffles had more flavor and they were fluffy. Kids loved them too so that gets 5 stars! Thanks!

Crispy and Creamy Doughnuts

Reviewed: Jun. 14, 2009
These are incredibly delicious! I made the recipe exactly as stated with a small exception in regards to the flour. I added the flour 1/2 cup at a time but once I put in all 5 cups it was still pretty sticky. I added another 1/2 cup or a whole cup can't remember. It's pretty humid here which may have been the issue. I don't think this is very time consuming. Here is what I did- heat up water in a mug and add the yeast. While waiting for yeast/water mixture to foam I poured the next set of ingredients into a bowl (I didn't mix yet though) and by that time the yeast was foamy. I then added it, mixed the ingredients together, added flour 1/2 cup at a time like it states and kneaded the dough and put it in an oiled bowl. I turned my oven on to 200 degrees and as soon as it was done I turned it off, put the dough on the top rack and closed the door to let it double (about an hour). I didn't cover with a towel. After I took the dough out of the oven and rolled it out (make sure it is 1/2 an inch thick- thicker than that and it's too much). I cut out the doughnuts with a doughnut cutter thing and let them sit for 1 hour and 30 minutes. They didn't double in size but a little bit. While I was waiting on them to rise is when I made the glaze. I put them in the oil (this is important step- make sure your oil isn't hotter than 350) and counted for 4-5 seconds and flipped, counted 4-5 more seconds and they were done. Just dip in glaze and let sit (if you don't eat them all!) until cooled

Red Enchilada Sauce

Reviewed: May 21, 2009
This stuff is amazing! Doesn't take that long to make. We used to buy El Paso red enchilada sauce and this is soooo much better tasting as well as cheaper. A hint- try and find an Amish grocery store near you for your spices. It is amazing how much less expensive their spices are compared to the little bitty amount you get at the grocery store.

Refried Beans Without the Refry

Reviewed: May 21, 2009
Oh these are sooooo good! We fry up corn tortillas in vegetable oil in a cast iron pot for tostadas and use these refried beans on it. Then layer it with hamburger meat, etc. I used to buy El Paso brand refried beans for almost $2 a can. We make double the amount of the recipe for lunch the next day so I was having to buy 2 of the cans which ended up costing me $4 just for beans. No more! I just put the beans in the crock pot in the morning and by 4pm they are done! Never buy refried beans again!

Ultimate Twice Baked Potatoes

Reviewed: May 21, 2009
If this doesn't get a 5 star rating then something had to be done wrong. These are absolutely amazing. My husband drools like a dog when he comes home and finds out we are having these. The bacon is a must have on these. The potato mixture that goes back into the potato "shell" is actually wonderful just by itself for mashed potatoes! Mmmmmm! I did try and "cook" the potatoes in the microwave instead of the oven for 10-15 minutes but the microwave makes the "shell" too soft and it tears while scooping the insides out. You must cook these in the oven! Make this recipe. You will love it!

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff I

Reviewed: May 21, 2009
This was very good but I prefer the Simple Hamburger Stroganoff recipe from this site. I am giving it a 5 star still because my hubby liked it but not exactly what my taste buds were wanting.

Breaded Chicken Fingers

Reviewed: May 21, 2009
Ooooohhhh these are good! Made recipe exactly. I double dipped them and they were so crispy! I don't have a deep fat fryer so just heated up some vegetable oil in a large cast iron pot, dripped a drop of water in it and if it made a "sizzling" sound then it was time to fry! I made twice baked potatoes with these and had an amazing meal! Oh yeah- got the twice baked potato recipe from this site as well! Mmmmmmm! Thanks!

Simple Hamburger Stroganoff

Reviewed: May 21, 2009
Wooo hoooo! I finally found a stroganoff recipe that I love and I am extremely picky. From the first bite I was in love! I followed the recipe exactly. My husband, 8 and 5 year old daughters loved it too! I love the fact that I don't have to use expensive stew meat with this! Thanks a million. Another recipe to add to my recipe box!

Mom's Macaroni and Cheese

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2009
**** UPDATE: My hubby said he wanted a creamy macaroni instead of baked so after I mix the sauce with the macaroni noodles we don't bake it at all. My mother also loved this recipe!**** Oh this is so good I wanna cry! I followed this recipe exactly a few days ago with regular cheddar cheese and I didn't care for it. I almost passed this recipe up but I decided to give it another try using sharp cheddar cheese and it made all the difference! Wowzers it is sooooo good! I am so excited to add this to my personal cookbook and pass it down to my kids! Thank you so much!

Grandmother's Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2009
Delicious! Followed recipe exactly except didn't have butter flavored shortening so substituted 8 tbsp butter and 8 tbsp shortening for the 1 cup measurement. Don't flatten these too much with the fork otherwise they'll be too flat. Thanks for the recipe!

Creamy Chocolate Frosting

Reviewed: Mar. 26, 2009
This was very easy to make. I didn't sift the powdered sugar but I think that was a mistake. I would recommend doing that. I also added 2 extra tbsp of evaporated milk due to the frosting being so thick and stiff. The flavor was good. Not the best but it did okay for the moment. Will keep looking.

Baked Teriyaki Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 22, 2008
HOLY SMOKES IS THIS GOOD! This tastes EXACTLY like the KC Masterpiece Teriyaki Marinade! At $2.58 a bottle and needing two for dinner this is a huge savings for us! I am adding this to my recipes tonight! Steamed some stir fry vegetables and steamed some white rice and have a wonderful dinner. I did make a ton more sauce. I poured some of the sauce into the bottom of the 9x13 pan then placed the chicken breasts on top and poured the rest of the sauce over them then baked for 1 hour. They were sooooo tender! Thanks for the recipe!

Bourbon Street New York Strip Steak

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2008
The marinade did make the steak very tender and moist but the taste was nothing at all like Applebees Bourbon Street Steak. If that is what you are looking for this isn't it. Not even close. Won't try this again. Oh- did follow the recipe exactly.

Sandy's Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2008
Maybe I did something wrong but this was okay. I give it a 4 stars because the cake was light and fluffy. I didn't care for the frosting as my family and I could taste the cocoa in it. I followed the recipe exactly.

Pancake Stack with Syrup

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2008
We all loved these. Taste is just as good as at a restaurant. I did follow recipe exactly. I too didn't make the syrup but used what I had on hand. Will definitely add some chocolate chips (my girls love them in theirs) and maybe even some pecans, walnuts, etc! This is going in my recipe book!
