Potato Latkes I

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009

Amazing recipe! Delicious and so easy to make. I used a dish towel instead of cheesecloth and it worked fine. I also used olive oil in place of the peanut oil. I can't wait to make these again.

A great way to use up squash from my garden. I used a few suggestions from the other reviewers. I shredded my squash and used it without precooking and pan fried the fritters in a little bit of olive oil. Very tasty!

Peppy's Pita Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2009

Easy to make and very tasty. It takes a little practice to figure out how long to leave them in the bag so that you get a pocket. Even when mine end up pocketless they are still tasty.

Chocolate Sauce

Reviewed: Jun. 10, 2009

This recipe is a good start but it is much better when made with milk. I tried it with 1 cup of milk in place of the water like other reviews suggested and it worked well.

Pasta With Tuna Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2008

Great recipe. It is very easy to make and it tastes wonderful. I used diced tomatoes instead of crushed and it worked great. The flavor of the capers and red pepper is subtle but perfect. I wouldn't change anything else about this recipe.

Crazy Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2008

I mixed this in my mixer then poured into two round cake pans instead of a 13x9. It made a nice looking layer cake. As for taste, I liked it and my husband didn't. The difference is I had to give up dairy and soy so the recipe gave me the chance to have chocolate cake. If you are looking for a fudgey chocolate cake (like my husband expected) and can have typical cake ingredients this is not the recipe for you. However, if you are like me and have to take what you can get this recipe works. My suggestion would be to wait to eat it because it tasted better a few days later. It is a moist cake and the recipe is easy to follow or modify if you would like. If these are the ingredients you need to work with this recipe is worth a try.

Fluffy White Frosting

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2008

This is the frosting I was looking for! My son can't have dairy or soy, so I have been searching for a frosting for his birthday cake. This recipe is easy to follow and comes out great. It holds up for a few days if you keep the frosting covered but I would suggest serving it right away for best results. It doesn't take long so I will be making this and decorating his cake right before it is served. For the test I filled and frosted a two-layer chocolate cake and it was great. This frosting tastes like marshmallows but is very light in texture. I used the extra to dip Annie's Bunny Grahams in and think I will use it as a whoopie pie filling! It is a great recipe that will be a dessert standard in my house.

Bread Machine Bagels

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2008

This recipe was easy to follow and tasted great. My husband even liked them and he's from NY! The only change I made was the topping, I used 1 tbs each of poppy, sesame, and a garlic and onion blend. That mixture made an amazing everything bagel. I made 9 of these like the recipe stated and they were the perfect size for me!

Christmas Casserole Cookies II

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2008

This was very easy to make and tasted great too. I didn't have dates so I used dried cranberries instead and it worked well. I agree with the other reviewer that it only yields 2 dozen (mine were about 1-inch). It isn't much like a traditional cookie in consistency, instead it feels more like a no-bake cookie. Try it out if you need a dairy-free treat!
