Graham Griddle Cakes

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2011

These don't taste like graham cracker, but they have a nice, different flavor that is a little sweet and a little nutty. The recipe does need extra graham cracker crumbs to really bring out the flavor, and I had better success cooking them just on medium heat.

Sugared Rhubarb Muffins

Reviewed: May 21, 2011

As written, three stars. Double the rhubarb, add a splash of vanilla and some cinnamon to the topping, and you've got a four star muffin. It's good, but I will keep looking for a really great recipe.

Stoli Doli

Reviewed: Mar. 2, 2011

I used a very ripe pineapple, and it just never gave the vodka very much flavor. I wound up letting it sit for weeks, hoping that it would infuse more, but the flavor was weak at best.

Shrimp Salsa

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2010

This was pretty good. It isn't the prettiest dish ever, so my guests were a little skeptical at first when I told them there was shrimp in the salsa, but after everyone tried it they unanimously agreed that it was tasty.

Bacon Dijon Cheddar Dip

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2010

As a cold dip, it was okay. Great flavor, but the texture when it is cold isn't that great. I threw it in a mini crock pot and let it get all melty, which was really good, except that the cheddar did not melt all that fantastically well. I will make this again, but I will use velveeta instead, and continue serving it warm.

Trisha's Game Day Dip

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2010

I really enjoyed this, but my boyfriend thought it was only so-so. So I am compromising on the rating with a four star. The only thing I didn't entirely care for was the texture, which never seemed to completely mix together properly? However, that could have been my fault, since I just mixed everything together and threw it in a slow cooker. At any rate, the taste was very good. Next time I think I will make sure I cut everything into pretty small pieces, to making scooping a little less awkward.

Sylvia's Ribs

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2010

I will admit that I picked this recipe because my mom's name is Sylvia. Silly, yes, but it definitely worked out okay, because these were fantastic. I cut the recipe in half because I only had four pounds of ribs, and for my very first time making ribs, these were very tasty. They were messy and gooey and good. If you like sweet and tangy, then you will really go for this recipe.

Mashed Potato Quesadilla

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2010

Followed the recipe, with the only change being that I only used one tortilla per quesadilla. I heated it up in the skillet first, then filled half of it with the filling, folded it, and then cooked it in the skillet as written. They are easier to eat that way, which was what I was after. Made them for a small superbowl party and they went over really well. They do taste like perogies, which is a good thing, and they would be easy to adjust to make them not so bad for you.

Breakfast Upside Down Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2010

The nice thing about this recipe is that it is very adjustable, based on what you have on hand. The egg mixture looks like it won't be enough, but when it is finished baking it comes out to the perfect amount. I had to cut the amount of potatoes in half, because three large baking potatoes was way too much. I also would have liked to see more seasoning. Tabasco sauce would be perfect with this. I think I would make this again with some adjustments.

Luscious Lima Bean Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2010

I initially made this because it is a very economical recipe, and I had limited funds for food that week. I love lima beans, but carrots and celery are by no means my favorite veggies, and in combination with the simplicity of the soup, I wasn't expecting much. I was completely caught off guard by how good this soup is! Everything mingles together so well, and it is very flexible as far as quantities. Already looking forward to making another big pot of this soup.

Norwegian Fruit Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 22, 2010

Served this to guests over the weekend and everyone raved about it. I didn't bother to peel the apple, and it was fine. The only changes I will make next time will be to give the cherries a rough chop so they aren't too big, and maybe use more rice or simmer it for longer, to get the soup to thicken up a bit more. Don't throw away the rice, just save it to eat for breakfast with some butter and a little extra cinnamon.

Ice Cream Kolacky

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2010

People seem to either love these or hate these, and I fall into the category of people who hate these cookies. It was like eating a spoonful of buttered flour; there wasn't any real flavor. I love ice cream and was hoping these would be really great, but there were the worst cookie I have ever eaten. Sorry.

Buttery Corn Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2009

I wasn't expecting much from this cornbread, but chose it because I had all the ingredients on hand. I was very pleasantly surprised, as it turned out to be perfectly sweet and had a nice moist texture. I did add a little extra cornmeal and a little less flour. One of the best quick and easy cornbreads I think I've had. Will put it in the recipe box to make again.

Homemade Vanilla

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2009

The longer the beans steep, the better the vanilla will be. Two beans doesn't get much done, even in several weeks. I now use 5 beans (6" bourbon beans) for 2 cups of vodka, and let it steep for a full year (shaking it once a week), which seems kind of extreme, but is well worth the wait, since it gives a lot more body and flavor.

Mom's Brussels Sprouts

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2009

This was my first foray into brussels sprouts, and I was pleasantly surprised. I definitely have a sweet tooth, so it was bound to be decent, but the way the walnuts and the butter sauce and the sprouts go together was really nice. The only thing I would do differently is to toast the walnuts to bring out their flavor even more.

Gorgonzola Pear Pasta

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2009

This will be a five star recipe with a few changes. It would easily serve three people, and if it was part of a whole meal, probably four. Next time I will make the sauce in the pot before adding the pasta back in, just to make things easier. I think it needs an additional pear, so you get the extra bit of sweetness and more contrast of flavors. I will also add an extra tablespoon each of cream and parmesan, for a little more richness. Very tasty and different; it would definitely impress company.

Slow Cooker Fruit, Nuts, and Spice Oatmeal

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2009

This turned out pretty well. I only cooked it for six hours, and it was the perfect consistency, but my slow cooker does run hot, so I was expecting that. I had pretty tart apples, so I did add some brown sugar, and I waited to add the nuts until it was time to eat so they wouldn't lose their crunch. You could really alter the fruits, nuts, and spices in this to get a different taste every time. I will be making this more as winter sets in.

Sauteed Apples

Reviewed: Sep. 30, 2009

I wanted something to mix into oatmeal, so I cooked these a little longer and broke them up into smaller chunks in the saucepan. Didn't bother to peel the apples, and I followed other reviewers advice and added a dash of nutmeg and a splash of vanilla. Made for some very tasty oatmeal.

Berry Oatmeal Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2009

These were just okay. I think the topping definitely needs to be cut in half. They just seemed bland to me, especially if you got a bit that didn't have any fruit in it.

David's Yellow Cake

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2009

With chocolate frosting, this tasted good. However, all by itself, I thought it was lacking a little in the flavor department. It was nice and moist, and had a nice crumb to it. Before anyone accuses me of comparing it to boxed cake mix, let it be known that I don't particularly like yellow boxed cake mix. I have just had more flavorful from scratch yellow cake.
