Mom's Country Gravy

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2009
This was delicious! I used butter instead of oil per other reviewer's suggestions and added just a pinch of garlic powder and it was the best gravy ever. I am sure it would be even better with sausage or bacon. I found it a bit difficult to keep the roux going- it kept settling at the bottom of the pan. Nothing that some vigorous stirring can't fix. This will definitely be my gravy recipe from now on!

No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2009
I have now made this recipe twice (the first time I had a brainfart and used regular sugar instead of confectioners' but it still worked out wonderfully) and the pie disappears incredibly quickly. My friend is a major Reese's cup lover, and this is her favorite pie. We use a chocolate crust, and then cover the top with chocolate syrup. Sooo goood.

Outback Onion Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2009
This was pretty good! I didn't have beef bouillon on hand so I replaced half of the water with beef broth. I also added more cheese as it wasn't cheesy enough for me. I also used a mixture of cornstarch and water to thicken instead of the flour and it seemed to work much better. With these modifications it tasted wonderful and I will definitely make it again!

Old-Fashioned Chocolate Fudge

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2009
I am so excited that I cannot fail with these everytime I make them. I have even used Hearshey's Dark Baking Cocoa, for us dark chocolate fans! For other New fudge makers or those without a thermometer, do this recipe exact and for me, boiling time is about 15 minutes! A little less for those who like them more chewy and a little more for those who like it more done with a snap to each bite. You decide and enjoy!

Banana Oatmeal Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2009
This is a family and friend favorite! I make as muffins/cup cakes for ease of serving size to share and bakes a little quicker. We've tried plain or with raisins and even tried chocolate chip. all are good. Make for breakfast or your next pitch in.

Miracle Baking Powder Pie Crust

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009
This recipe was just "ok" in my opinion. It was a little more troublesome than the traditional pie crust recipe that I use, but I went ahead with it, hoping for better results; however, it seemed about the same as my usual pie crust recipe results, with the exception of a bit of an "off flavor". I think I'm going to stick with my usual recipe.

Spooky Witches Fingers

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2009
These were easy to make, I'll give them that, but honestly I could barely taste anything but flower, baking powder, and salt. My roommate and I both tasted the dough before we put it in the oven and decided this, so I added some more butter, sugar, and extract (both kinds), blended it, and then tested it again and it still tasted salty but less so. We went ahead with baking them then and when they were done they -looked- awesome. But then we ate them and...despite are additional extracts...they were utterly tasteless except for salt and flour. We did only use a teaspoon full, so I don't know what particularly happened but...I'm not going to be trying this recipe again.

Quick Festive Ground Meat Skillet

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2009
This is so good and flexible. The recipe is flexible in what you add and the end result is flexible in a main dish, side dish or a dip. Be creative and make to your needs. Use your favorite ground meat! Use ranch dressing or sourcream. Hot or mild salsa, this dish will be so good in taste!

Alfredo Sauce

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2009
Yum. Made as written with addition of 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg and some white pepper. Tasty and delicious, the cheese did fine melting in since it was in tiny chunks from the food processor. Served with steamed brocolli. Appreciate not having to use egg. Hurray for heart-attack food at home! Thanks!

Peppy's Pita Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2009
Yummmm... tasty and delicious. For the reviewer who followed the recipe to the t and ended up with crackers- it probably wasn't the recipe so much as using a bad batch of yeast. It's a living thing, only the stuff that is alive will make the dough poof.

Italian Spaghetti Sauce with Meatballs

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009
I cheated and prebaked the meatballs at 350 for 20 minutes- I made about 50 little ones. Also, I doubled up the sauce and added 2 8 ounce cans of petite diced tomatoes and a bunch more fresh herbs. That said, these meatballs were super easy and simmered away for an additional hour until they were tender and very tasty. Thanks!

Light and Fluffy Spinach Quiche

I was scared of the mayo and for good reason- it was quite tasty day one, but had a strange after-taste the next day warmed back up. Thanks!

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

Wow! I'm adding sugared candy ginger bits next time, but this was outstanding! One huge loaf, (baked for an hour at 350,) and 12 muffins came out of this mix. Thanks!

Eggless Tofu Spinach Quiche

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009
I added steamed asparagus along with the spinach. The tofu didn't look like it was going to come together at first- it looked a bit like curdled milk in the mixer. But lo and behold, once it baked (in a pre-baked crust) for about 45 minutes, it firmed up quite nicely. Since I can't have egg yolk anymore, this was a great sub. Thanks!

Mom's Garbage Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2009
These were great! Just a few changes... used rice krispies instead of corn flakes (didn't have any) and butter instead of shortening. Also did not use dates. Pecans made them awesome. They went straight to the oven like drop cookies (not slice fridge ones). Enjoy!! I made these a second time w/o the oats and they came out flat, so I'd make sure you have oats. Cook at a LOWER TEMP, I did 325/350 degrees and cooked until the top no longer shines - much better. FYI

Breakfast Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2009
This came out great for us. I didn't read any reviews until after I made it. I made CupCakes instead of a cake and didn't have any rising problems. I did substitute butter (real, no salt) for the shortening. I did add more topping of brown sugar and cinnamon. Yum, great with coffee or milk. It's really a 'coffee cake' like taste/consistency and it's not too bad for breakfast, hence the name it was given. Enjoy!

Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2009
I eyeballed the instructions and pretty much followed them, added cauliflower, carrots, potato and pretty much doubled the sauce without adding more butter. This was amazing- the eight year old in my life proclaimed: "This is like heaven!"
