Easy Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2008
These were amazing cookies!! Not only were they convenient to make (no chilling), everything about them was perfect. They were soft and delicious. Just a few notes: I added an additional tsp of vanilla. On half of the batches I made I dipped the cookies in sugar before putting them in the oven. The sugar made them crispier on the outside, but the softness within was unchanged. Also, for maximum softness, serve straight out of the oven. These cookies cold are rather hard...

Tres Leches (Milk Cake)

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2008
This is the first Tres Leches Cake I have made and so far it looks FABULOUS! I did separate my eggs and beat the whites... but when I went to add them to the "flour mixture" as suggested, they had separated into foam and whites, so it was rather gooey, but the cake batter turned into a cake! I cut the top off to make it flat and have been dipping the pieces into the milk mixture, and that's tasty, so I can only imagine what this is going to taste like in the morning!!! Yay!!!

Mild Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2008
I really didn't care very much for this recipe. It ended up being alternately bland and slightly icky, but that may be due to my choice in enchilada sauce.

Apple Enchilada Dessert

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2008
My son tends to grumble about my cooking efforts (or anyone else's, for that matter), but he couldn't say enough about this one. He even thanked me for it, as he was heading off to bed! That's a first, I'll tell you. Since my husband and I tend to like our apple pies more spicy than usual pie filling allows, I added another teaspoon of cinnamon, and a few shakes of nutmeg... but other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. Home run, ReDonna!

Avocado and Tuna Tapas

Reviewed: Sep. 14, 2008
I was hesitant to make this at first but I was hungry, had all the ingredients at hand and really didn't feel like eating fastfood. This is soo good. I even got an "mmm..mmm" from my hubby. Although I am not a big fan of canned tuna I do love avocados and keep finding ways to make it a part of my diet. Avocados are loaded with MUFA's (mono-unsaturated fat -->the good kind) which actually helps your body get rid of the "bad" fat. So Gracias for sharing this recipe!

Mall Pretzels

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2008
Oh my goodness! I did the dough in my bread machine (like I always do to cut down on my work!) and then followed the recipe from there. These were AWESOME. 12 weren't enough, so the second time I made them, I doubled the recipe. They were gone in 2 days.

Fruit Cobbler

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2008
Wow! This was really good and gone in 1 day! I had a 32 oz bag of tropical fruit blend in my freezer (peaches, strawberries, pineapples and mangos). I just added them frozen. I had no idea how it would turn out, but it was great. My kids all wanted more, but there wasn't any left.*I topped each serving with vanilla ice cream. Will make again!!!

Mexican Corn

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2008
I've made this recipe twice and the first time I made it, it was a 5 star but the second time-3 stars the difference? - I used canned corn the first time and frozen ones the second time. And believe me, it made a whole lot of difference. Be sure to use the canned ones as the recipe suggests. mmm.. mmm.. Good.

Seasoned Cornish Hens

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2008
This was a pretty good recipe - liked by the entire family. I LOVED how the cornish hens browned...they looked beautiful - 5star restaurant-quality presentation. I didn't especially like the oyster sauce flavor, but the hens were very moist. I took the advice of many commenters and added Chinese 5spice, olive oil; cut the hens in half before cooking; marinated them 3 hours in ziploc bags in the fridge. Cooked this with the following menu: Zucchini & Tomato Bowtie Pasta, Seafood Quiche...and Watermelon. :-)
