Apple Pie by Grandma Ople

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2009

I've made this a few times now and perfect! My dad loves apple pie and said this was his favorite. The true test came at Thanksgiving though - my sister said she's never seen my nephews really eat apple pie. "They don't like it." Two of them gobbled it up (other had pumpkin) and one even asked for the recipe (13 years old!) and made it that week following. Thanks for a great recipe....it's a keeper for sure! :)

Baklava

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2009

Wow! Wow!! My first time making this and I followed Sandra Lee's suggestions about not using too much butter. Do not soak the sheets, just wet them. I tried some of her quick tips like using the whole phyllo sheet instead of cutting it, and also not covering the sheets between layers (time consuming) It turned out WONDERFUL!!!! I was so intimidated to make Baklava for so long, and now I wonder why I waited so long. You will love this!! I also read up on storage. If you like softer baklava with a liquidy texture (yum!) then store out of the refrigerator in a covered container. If you like it firm and chewy then store in the refrigerator. I am serving this in muffin cups for my husband to take to work. Of course, I kept some home for the family. Enjoy!!

Terrific! Made as is, and they turned out delicious. We gobbled them up. Placed seasonings and butter-coated chicken pieces in a ziploc bag as another reviewer suggested which made this recipe quick & easy.

Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2009

I have made this a few times and every time I do it has came out perfect. My husband is not a big pork eater because usually it is so dry. But with this recipe it is juicy. We have made it in the oven and on the grill in the summertime and it has came out great each way. Thanks for a great recipe.

Angel Chicken Pasta

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2009

Very delicious! The creamy sauce that the chicken bakes in makes it very tender and moist! Good comfort food! The ONLY thing I would alter, is to add maybe a small amount more of seasoning. It had a very good flavor but could've used a teensy bit more. Other than that, perfect! This one will definatley be added to our menu rotation :o)

Fudge Puddles

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2009

Peanut butter cookie and chocolate fudge... WOW. Absolutely perfect recipe, and indulgent taste.. Hand-down-the-recipe-to-the-grandkids good. DO follow the recipe exactly because it is spot on. It says 1 inch balls for a reason: larger... and they overflow the mini-wells. And do *immediately* use your melon baller to push down the cookie shell: or the cookie gets too crispy to push down and just cracks. And, 15 minutes was right on, for my oven. I found that gently twisting the cookie after the 5 min worked perfecly for removing intact. THANK YOU debzy! This one is good enough for gifts. And thats coming from someone who is very picky.

Hubby signed me up to make buffalo wings and shrimp for a xmas party....gotta admit...I am so not a seafood eater. So, I found this recipe, it was super easy to make, and everyone raved about it. I did not make the sauce though, I have my own sauce that hubby likes.

Good base easily made into a delicious dish. I added a couple cloves of garlic while browning the meat, seasoned the meat with cumin, chili powder, and crushed red pepper, and added a can of diced green chilies to the meat. Thanks :)
