No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars
I had to edit this review. I'd give it no stars if it were an option. My original review of 3 stars was based on a small taste I had & the fact that these cookies *looked* good. After letting them set for a day....it's beyond me how this recipe has so many stars. After attempting to taste test a whole cookie, before serving these at a family dinner, I decided to trash the whole batch and kiss $10 worth of ingredients good bye. (I doubled the recipe.) The fat & calorie content really bothered me.....but these cookies really didn't taste that good. Chewy & VERY buttery, but with out any real flavor. Which is beyond me, given all the chocolate & peanut butter. All I tasted was butter. I did take one bar to dinner so my family could test these. The comments ranged from "no flavor" to "too much butter" to just plain "nasty". I'm all for a rich dessert every now and then, but this recipe is totally not worth the calories or the $ you'll spend on ingredients. My first review is below: Heart attack in a cookie.....These are good but I doubt I'll make them again, simply because of the outrageous fat & calorie content. When I want a cookie, I want a COOKIE, not two bites with hundreds of calories. The picture looks good....and I had decided to make these for a family get together before I took a close look at the recipe. Easy to make, but way way to rich for my taste.

Yeast Pancakes
EXACTLY what I was hoping for! These were fluffy, thick and light! I also thought the pancakes tasted a little bready or sour when eaten plain, but it wasn't a bad taste, only different from what I'm used to. I thought they tasted great with a little butter and syrup. Excellent when we ate the leftovers with some home made blueberry syrup and whipped cream! I didn't have any quick start yeast, so I started my yeast in a cup of the milk. I also added more sugar; I used my other pancake recipe as a guide and used 3T of sugar in these pancakes. I found my new pancake recipe! Oh, & this recipe made a lot of pancakes, when using the 1/4 cup measure as suggested. My family of three (2 adults & a 3 year old) had generous servings for two lunches, with 3 pancakes left over.

Garlic Chicken Fried Chicken
Very good! My complaint with other fried chicken recipes I've tried has been lack of flavor - the garlic powder & pepper gave this a great taste. Hubby was impressed and my little guy ate it up. We'll use this recipe again!
