Bananas 'N' Cream Bundt Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2009
WOW...this has to be thee best tasting banana cake by far. I just tweaked a tad...i used 3/4 c. sugar and 1/2 c. brown sugar. I added 1 t. cinnamon to flour mixture and instead of nuts (my kids don't like them), I used 1/2 c. cinnamon chips and 1/2 c. milk choco-chips. Delicious!!! We ate ours last night after dinner while it was still warm with yogurt ice cream....Thanks for such a wonderful and warming recipe!!!

Outrageous Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2009
This is an excellent recipe for pb chocolate chip oatmeal cookies!! The first thing my husband said was, "Wow!" They are soft and chewy and have good flavor! He didn't pick up on the peanut butter flavor, but I did! He was pretty hungry and he's a man... so he got the chocolate chip part of it!! Anyway, they are so fast and easy to prepare too... usually making cookies takes forever for me b/c you need the same measurement for most of the ingredients... this one was perfect... I got it all mixed up in about 15 minutes tops! The cookies were all done in about 45 minutes! I will be using this recipe again for sure! Thank you so much for sharing!

Seven Layer Taco Dip

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2009
I gave this 5 stars even though I changed the recipe. I did not use lettuce, green peppers or black olives. I did however use guacamole that I made with an easy simple guacamole spicy mix pack and 2 fresh avocados. I did how ever do the beans how you said but when it came to the sour cream/ cream cheese mix I missed a layering step and so I ended up just mixing the sour cream, cream cheese and salsa all together than put the shredded chedder cheese on top here is how I layered mine beans, guacamole, salsa sour cream mix shredded it was a hit! EVERYONE kept saying how much they loved it! Will make this again for sure!!

Easy Spicy Chicken and Rice

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2009
My fiancee picked this dish out one night for dinner. We loved it, it took an hour to bake and it was kinda spicy but i will know to use different tomatoes for us next time. I did add some things to make it a little more to our liking I used all the ingredients called for but I cut our chicken up, added some frozen veggies (about handful of each corn,peas,carrots and greenbeans) I also added onion and garlic powder and a can of water.I was going to add sour cream but my fiancee has to watch his dairy intake so i skipped on that i did sprinkle some shreaded cheese on mine! mmm very yummy thanks for this simple good recipe!

Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2009
OMG!!! This had THEE best flavor, texture...yummie!!! OK, the only problem is I could not get it to set 'hard'...so, I'm definitely making again...but letting it boil a tad bit longer than stated...and then letting it cool down a bit before adding the peanut butter and marshmellow! Everyone still ate it, though...I just kept it in the fridge at all times to keep it somewhat 'hard like' otherwise it would turn to mush!

Baked Spaghetti

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2009
Pretty good!! I NEVER use jar sauce so I made my own...with lots of onion, mushrooms, garlic, fennel, basil, oregano and italian seasonings. I use 2 c. diced italian tomatoes...I puree one can and leave the other one diced. 1 can tomato paste (with italian seasonings) and 2 c. tomato sauce (with italian seasonings) and a 1/2 c. to 1 c. of water. I let this simmer on the stove for a few hours...with pork medallions (that I saute in olive oil and s/p) in it...mmmm. Then I followed the rest of the recipe as stated. Added lots more cheese, though! Overall, very good!! Was even better the next day when the noodles soaked up all the sauce!!

Marshmallow Treats

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2008
This is a good basic recipe! I added two spoonfuls of peanut butter and about 1/4 bag of chocolate chips at the end of the melting process for a chocolate/peanut butter type dessert instead! It turned out really good! I also added about 1T. milk after the other extras so it stirred better and made it more creamy! Yum! Thank you for the recipe!

Peanut Butter Balls V

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2008
I'm giving this a 4 star because it was a great tasting recipe and we love that it uses ground graham crackers instead of rice crispy's, but in the making the balls were hard to get into a ball with out kind of falling a part a little. (the recipe calls to add only 2 of the 2 1/2 cups to the peanut butter mixture, then add the remaining half cup if needed... I only used the 2 cups, and didn't even add the extra half cup and it was still too dry) I almost added a bit more peanut butter to help that out, but I just proceeded based off of the instructions. The outcome was fabulous! I tried the peanut butter balls with rice crispys and my hubby didn't like them... with the graham cracker, you don't get that crunch and they are more creamy... much better! Next time I make this I think I'll add some extra peanut butter and only use the 2 cups graham crackers for sure! Thank you for the good recipe!!!

Apple Cinnamon Cheesecake by EAGLE BRAND®

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2008
This was a very good cheesecake! I did tweak it a little bit. For the crust I did 1/2 c. oatmeal, 1/4 c. flour and 1/2 c. cinnamon grahm crackers along with 1/4 c. chopped walnuts. Then I cooked my apples on the stove with cinnamon and brown sugar just a T. of each. Just for a few short minutes to get them tender. I then drained the sauce from them (but kept in a dish). After baking the crust I added the apples to the bottom. For the cheesecake I did add an extra cream cheese as other reviews had mentioned. Then added my extra sauce from the fried apples. I did double the sauce for the topping. I also added caramel for a little something different!! This was by far the best tasting EVER!! Loads of compliments...some people even thought it was a store bought cake..haha Fooled 'em!

Sweet Potato Pie I

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2008
Very delish!!! Even people who said they 'didn't like sweet potatoes'...ended up eating it and loving it! Not bad for never making it before. Wish I could've taken a photo! I only did a few alterations...instead of milk, I used evaporated milk. I also used 1/2 c. white sugar and 1/2 c. brown sugar (which was homemade...I use dk. molasses with sugar...yummmm). Thank you!! Such a good alternative to pumpkin pie! God Bless!

Butternut Squash Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2008
Oh my golly!! This was FABULOUS!!! I followed the directions on the butternut squash for cooking it, as well as previous reviewers. I sliced the squash length wise, placed cut side down on a jelly roll pan and baked for approx 45 min. (it does take longer, but it is easier, and I was able to prepare my other dish while this was baking so it worked out nicely) Anyway, after it baked, I flipped the squash over and let it set for a little bit so it would cool a bit, and then I removed the skin. (it was very easy) I kind of thought that the topping would taste fine with out the vanilla waffers so I just used brown sugar and some butter to make a crumble topping. It was so good, and it was the very first thing gone!!! I love when that happens!!! Everyone was raving about the butternut squash casserole and it is now a requirement that I make it every year from here on out! Fine with me, b/c ALL of the ingredients (besides the squash itself) are all ingredients that I have on hand at all times. So it's not only inexpensive, it's actually convenient! My husband was very against me making this b/c he wanted something he knew he'd love... He took one bite, got out of his seat to come and find me to tell me how AWESOME this was and he couldn't believe he liked it so much... so that says a lot right there! He loved it enough to stop eating to come and tell me that! Thank you so much for sharing... this is such a wonderful dish that is a little out of the ordinary!

Chuck's Favorite Mac and Cheese

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2008
This was excellent!! I quadrupled the recipe for a Thanksgiving family get together and it was a huge hit! I followed everything to the T, except, I used 1 cup of heavy whipping cream since I had it on hand (and a few other reviews I read indicated it's not as creamy as they'd like). I separated the mac n' cheese into 2 very large casserole pans. I didn't add the breading/butter mixture to one just to see if I liked it better with or w/ out that. (since other reviews also stated the bread crumbs on top make it even drier. I wasn't sure what else I could add to make it creamier with out changing the taste, but it was delicious. I do think it would have been just as good creamier though! So I wonder if there is something I could add to help that out, but not change the taste very much. Anyway, this was a great side for our HUGE Thanksgiving Day dinner!

Magic Peanut Butter Middles

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2008
I only rated this a 3 star for a few reasons. First, I didn't think the chocolate cookie itself was all that outstanding. I think the devils food chocolate cake mix to make the cookies would taste much better. Also, first, I made 30 balls out of the filling dough. The balls were too big, but I didn't want to waste the filling dough... so of course, there wasn't enough cookie dough to cover all 30 balls. My suggestion is this: Cut the filling portion of this recipe in half... then make 30 balls out of that. Then make the cookie dough portion the same as what is called for. Then each ball should be able to be covered. Possibly double the cookie dough portion. I will have to try that to be sure. I am not sure I'll try this again though... It is more time consuming than most cookie recipes, but the outcome would have been worth it if it would have tasted a little better. I think if I do this again, I will use a devils food chocolate cake mix to make the chocolate cookie part, then just half the middle portion.

Holiday ONLY Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2008
YUM! These were EASY... and delicious! Everyone commented several times on how great these mashed potatoes were! I did use the suggestion by another reviewer and warmed (not melted) the butter and warmed the heavy cream. I haved used this method with sausage gravy as well and it really does make a difference. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe... oh I also added some fresh garlic to the potatoes and it was very good!
