Cinnamon Coffee Frosting
absolutely amazing. however i did make changes!!! I only used 2 cups of powdered sugar and a TB a milk like other users. I dissolved my coffee granules in about 2 TB of warm water before adding to the mix. i also used a little less cinnamon than it called for because i was afraid that it would be too strong, but it was perfect. this frosting is perfect for any cake, especially chocolate! it ices beautifully. very smooth and keeps well on the cake. i will be using this frosting for the rest of my life! it tastes delicious and looks great! what more could you want a frosting to do?

Cinnamon Raisin Bread I
oh boy. i am in heaven. as i sit here devouring my second slice of this bread, i feel that i must encourage everyone to try this recipe. I give the actual recipe like a 4 1/2, but the end result, after some changes, a 5. The changes i made were mostly due to my preferences. I used half whole wheat bread flour because i wanted a wheat bread, I omitted raisens because i can't stand them, and I added a couple tsp of cinnamon to the dough. My bread only needed to be baked for 30 minutes. I also only have 8 in and 7 in loaf pans so I made two bigger loafs and two smaller ones. Don't skip the buttering step at the very end. I think it made a world of difference in my crust. I also changed how i rolled out the doughs. Instead of one big one, I divided the doughs and rolled each one up alone, because i wanted a really thin layer and did not have room to roll the whole thing out in one fell swoop. also, a stick of margarine works great in this recipe so don't think you should have to sub in real butter. Although i do not think i used enough cinnamon sugar on top of the milk, it still tastes amazing. I did not measure how much, but just sprinkled it on the dough. I also wanted different fillings so i wanted to roll them invidually. I did craisens in one loaf. The only thing i would change next time is to chop them up a little. The bread still looks and tastes great but I think it would be better if they were more evenly distributed in smaller pieces. I will be gifting this bread to ma

Spicy Baked Sweet Potato Fries
This recipe was great with a little change. I did not do the taco seasoning but the cayenne pepper tasted amazing on it alone. wow. so much flavor. however, mine kept burning so i turned down the heat a bit and flipped them once. I also did not coat in oil. I drizzled evoo on top lightly and then sprinkled the pepper. I think that if they did not burn, they would have been crisp!
