Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2011

Very Good! I doubled the cheddar cheese and added garlic and onion powder, and dried parsley to the batter as well as the butter mixture as other reviewers suggested, and was glad I did. Also after baking the biscuits and brushing with butter, popped them back into the over for about 3 minutes. Perfect. Took them to a birthday party and they were a hit! Thanks Cookie for a great recipe.

Quick Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2010

This is an excellent lemon poppy seed bread recipe. I didn't change a thing - don't mess with perfection! I've served this to company twice as a side dish to Chicken Pasta Salad and was asked for the recipe both times. Thanks for a great recipe Marian!

Honey Cornbread

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2010

"Yankee" cornbread huh? Well, I'm a Yankee and I do love this recipe! I followed the advice of another reviewer and subsituted creamed corn for the heavy cream. Cut fat and calories and tasted great! I hope to enter this in my State Fair next year. Thanks Tim for submitting a fabulous recipe!

Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2010

This is a great recipe. Instead of a white cake mix I bought a lemon one plus the lemon instant pudding mix - what wonderful flavor! My husbad and friends thought that the bread was wonderful! Thanks much for an easy and tasty recipe.

Apple and Pumpkin Dessert

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2009

This is so easy and fast to make. Based on the effort it takes to make, the flavor is very good. I'll be making it again, but may add the brown sugar that others suggested as well as some low fat cool whip or vanilla ice cream. Thanks for the recipe Rosanne!

Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2009

I love this sauce! We used it with the Buttery Soft Pretzels recipe from this website which, by the way are excellent. Instead of using 1 tsp of cornstarch, which I didn't have I used 2 tsp of flour instead, and because I didn't have any lemons on hand, I used 1/2 tsp of vinegar. Also didn't have any Dijon mustard, so used spicy brown mustard. Even with all these changes, the dipping sauce was excellent! Thanks very much for posting this recipe!

Buttery Soft Pretzels

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2009

This recipe is wonderful! I took the advice of others and instead of using all white sugar, I used half white and half brown. Initially I used 4 cups of flour, and then added almost another cup during the 10 minute kneading process. Instead of making 12 huge pretzels, I made about 26 smaller pretzels which were easier to handle as a snack food while watching a movie. I also made the honey mustard dipping sauce from this website which was excellent. Thanks Christa for posting such a great recipe!

Gramma's Date Squares

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2009

I found this recipe about a year ago and have made it at least 25 times. It is absolutely wonderful and has a good fiber content. The only thing I do differently is that I don't add any additional sugar to the date filling as the dates are sweet enough. Thank you so much for posting this recipe!

Anise Pizzelles

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2008

Finally a recipe for Pizzelles that calls for anise oil! I had one long ago, but lost the recipe. Thank you so much for posting it. The anise oil gives a more intense flavor of anise to the cookie, much better than anise extract which is more commonly found. Love it, Love it, Love it!

Cracker Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2008

I really enjoyed this salad. Using tomatoes and peppers fresh from the garden I'm sure helps improve this wonderful salad. I wanted to cut down on the amount of fat so used fat free crackers, reduced fat cheese and reduced fat salad dressing. Trust me, there is still plenty of flavor! I'll be making this again and again! Thanks Diana for a great summer time dish!

Lacy Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2007

These cookies are excellent! I used the Reynolds non-stick foil as recommended by another person and that really does work quite well. These cookies didn't slide off the foil like other cookies do, but with just a little effort they came off in one piece. I didn't get quite as many cookies from one batch, about 35 cookies that are about 3 inches across. These really do spread quite a bit so I only placed 6 teaspoons of dough on a cookie sheet. Not only is this a really tasty cookie, they are very delicate and elegant looking. Next batch I'm going to try to form them into bowls by placing the still warm cookie over an upside down glass custard cup, that I will spray with pam ahead of time.

Sugar Cookie Glaze

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2007

When using this recipe, always, always always siftthe powdered sugar at least 2 or 3 times. This makes the glaze flow over the cookie a bit easier and will eliminate any blotches. This is a wonderful glaze.

Christmas Casserole Cookies I

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2007

Thank you so much for this recipe. My Mom made these for us when we were little, so they definitely are an old fashioned Christmas cookie. Mom always made them into little logs instead of the balls, but they are really wonderful cookies, no matter what shape you form them into. Thanks very much Peggy for posting this recipe. They will be on my cookie tray this year!

Calico Bean Casserole

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2007

These beans are awesome! Even if you are not a fan of beans, you'll like this dish. I've made this recipe many many times, frequently for new groups of people, and I'm always asked for the recipe. If you are rushed for time and don't want the mess of frying the bacon, do like I do - buy the pre-cooked bacon that you can find with the croutons and salad dressing at the market. Just make sure it's really bacon and not that fake stuff!

Old Bay® Shrimp Fest

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2007

This is a wonderful recipe, so easy and yet so very tasty! I haven't used any beer and really don't miss it. I served this to four people and we must have been really hungry as there really wasn't that much left over! Will make again and again.

Garden Fresh Tomato Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2006

I just made this soup for lunch and it was wonderful! I too used my vita mix - tossed in the tomatoes, two slices of onion and two cups of boiling water in which I added 2 1/2 Tsp of chicken soup base. Blended this for one minute. Melted the butter in a soup kettle and then added the flour to make the roux, then gradually added the tomato mixture. Add the salt and sugar as called for, then served it up with garlic croutons. This is a real keeper!

Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2006

This recipe makes a great cookie. However, I did make a couple of minor changes. I put half of the oatmeal in the blender and turned it into a powder, then added that to the flour mixture. I also added 1 tsp of cinnamon and a scant 1/2 cup of rice krispies. The results were fantastic! Entering them in the State Fair competition - wish me luck!

Six Can Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2006

Excellent soup. As recommended by ohers, instead of using 2 cans of broth I used two cans of Campbells Select Mexican tortilla soup. Also used half of a rotisserie chicken instead of the canned chicken. Be sure to drain and rince the black beans before adding to avoid having your soup turn grey! I served the soup using the Baked Dostito Chips trying to keep the fat grams down. I served this to my sister inlaw who wanted the recipe. She made a batch, took some to work and shared some with a co-worker who also loved it and asked for the recipe. The co-worker went home and made it for her husband, who just loved it and asked fora second bowl. Definately a keeper. If you are thinking about making this recipe, don't hesitate - just do it!

Stovetop Granola

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2006

This is the fastest granola recipe I have ever made. Having said that, one might think that it wouldn't be all that good, but nothing could be further from the truth. I think the addition of additional dried fruits would be good, but not necessary. Will definately be making again and again. Thanks for the great recipe.
