Best Brownies
These brownies are just plain sinful!! They are so rich and yummy. I could have eaten the whole pan but they made my teeth hurt they were so rich and sweet. The only problem that I had was this. I doubled the recipe for a 9x13 pan and they were no where close to done after 25 minutes. I baked them for approximately 40 minutes and they still could have used a little longer. I also had to add a tablespoon of milk to my icing because I just couldn't get it to smooth out. Other than that, these brownies are just a little slice of heaven on earth! Thanks so much for the wonderful recipe!!!

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast
Okay, so I read all the helpful reviews and used some of the suggestions, and this roast still just didn't do anything for me. Sure, it was easy, but anything you put in the crockpot is easy. It just lacked something, but I'm not sure what it was. I covered my roast in flour, garlic powder, Season All, and Onion powder and then browned it in oil before putting it in the crockpot so that the gravy would thicken. My gravy was plenty thick enough, it just lacks some flavor. I wished that it had tasted as good as it smelled.

Pumpkin Crunch Cake
WOW! I tried this recipe because I was looking for something easy and tasty and this was it! This was so easy and very adaptable. I didn't have a large can of the milk so I used 2 small cans and it turned out great. I doubled the nuts like others had suggested and cut back on the butter. Instead of melting the butter and pouring it on the cake, I just sliced a half of a stick of butter in thin slices and then let it melt in the oven. This turned out really well. Thanks for the great recipe!
