Eggnog Quick Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2009
I had high hopes for this, but it was pretty bland--tasted like yellow cake to me (which is good but not when you're expecting a quick bread). It doesn't keep very well either.

Eggnog Cheesecake III

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2008
This was easy and delicious. It received great reviews from my friends and family! I used the food processor and everything turned out well--but it split as it was cooling. I hated to do it, but I spread coolwhip on it so it would cover the huge crack, then ground a little fresh nutmeg on top. The coolwhip was barely noticeable and it was a lovely dessert.

Easy Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2008
This is a great cake, but I make it a little differently. I substitute 3/4 cup of strong coffee for the water and add 3/4 cups chopped pecans. It is always a hit, and so moist.

Marinated Baked Pork Chops

Reviewed: May 29, 2008
I cut back on the oil and used 1/2 tbs. sesame oil and 1/2 tbs. vegetable oil. I also added two garlic cloves and a big dash of cayenne pepper. I added all the sauce upfront, too. I baked the chops for a total of 45 minutes. Great recipe for a quick dinner--I had everything in the cabinet. Would probably be good in the slow cooker, too.

Angel Lush

Reviewed: May 25, 2008
Very light, easy, and pretty. My husband and I are dieting so I was looking for a low-fat dessert to make with fresh strawberries. This was pretty good but lacked that homemade taste. It reminded me of church potluck or family reunion food. I used regular pudding (not sugar free) and added blueberries. It ended up being 3 WW points per serving.

Four Egg Yellow Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2008
This was a great cake. I used Tracey's Creamy Chocolate Frosting recipe, and the cake was as beautiful as it was delicious. I might have slightly overcooked it because the edges were dry and too crispy. I used round 9" pans and set the timer for 30 minutes. At 25 minutes, it smelled done so I checked it but it was too late. The middle was fine, and my husband said it was one of the best cakes I've made, but I like a really moist cake. I'm going to try again with a 9x13 pan.

Creamy Chocolate Frosting

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2008
Great recipe! It was very easy to work with and was the perfect amount to frost a two-layer cake. I did use regular milk so I wouldn't waste a can of evaporated, and I added an extra tablespoon or two to make it the right consistency for me.

Pecan Pie IV

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2007
This was a mighty tasty pie. I used pecan halves--placed them in the shell, then poured the liquid over them. The top of the pie was almost like pralines and the inside was caramel-like. So easy to make, but the end result is very impressive.

Jam Filled Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2007
I used this recipe as a base, but I made several changes: I used 1/4 butter and 1/2 cup peanut butter; 1/2 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup white sugar. I also added a little extra flour and baked them at 350--I was afraid 375 would be too high on my oven.

Red and Green Christmas Jalapeno Jelly

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2007
I made this last year and was so proud of myself--homemade jelly! It was super easy, very pretty, and mighty tasty, too. I used two jalepenos, two habeneros, and two cherry peppers. I scooped out the skins and seeds, and ground them up in the food processor but used only half the mixture. As a result, it wasn't hot enough this year (last year it was perfect!). I'm glad I read the advice about watching the vinegar too--i set the burner on medium high until it boiled and then I turned it down to medium. Thanks for this great recipe!

Kellogg's® Chocolate Scotcheroos

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2007
My husband would have given these 10 stars. They were too sweet for me, but people loved them. If you love peanut butter, this is a great treat for you.

Kielbasa Made Easy

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2007
I have taken this to a few parties and it's always a hit--especially with the men. I use a tangier, spicy sauce instead of anything sweet since the cranberry sauce is sweet enough. Another variation I tried from my mother-in-law is a jar of grape jelly and 2 bottles of Heinz chili sauce instead of the bbq sauce and cranberries.

Tarragon Chicken Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2007
Good, quick meal. The only thing I did differently is shred the chicken rather than cubing it.

Fabulous Oatmeal-Bran Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2007
This was great--very moist and I loved the texture from the bran and oatmeal. I added a tsp of vanilla like others suggested. Also, I used quick oats and regular All Bran.

Black Bean Chili

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2007
This is a great (and quick) recipe! I skipped the mushrooms and used extra hot Rotel instead of fresh tomatoes. It's so good over rice with a little sour cream.

Pumpkin Cake I

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2007
This is a really good cake--very moist, and it actually gets better later in the week. I used a cup of brown sugar and a cup of white sugar. Also, I didn't use the allspice (I was out), but I will next time. It was heavy on pumpkin taste and low on spice without it. I'm going to try swapping the oil for apple sauce and see how that works.

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake II

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2007
This sounds like a similar recipe I saw on Good Morning America years ago. I've been making it for years and it's terrific! I use canned pineapple rings, dried very well, and make sure the butter mixture is a good consistency (I don't melt it all the way) before spreading it in the pan--that way it bakes into an almost crunchy topping for the cake. When serving, I place a few pansies in the middle and serve it warm with vanilla ice cream. It's a gorgeous, delicious dessert!

Tater Tot Casserole IV

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2007
For me, this recipe was not worth the calories and fat that are packed in it. Like other reviewers said, it was pretty bland and greasy.
