Gramma's Date Squares

Reviewed: Mar. 7, 2009
Very, very good. I used whole medjool dates that I pitted and diced and used spelt flour in place of pastry flour. I also used both lemon juice and vanilla in the dates. My mom and I used to make these from a boxed mix when I was a kid, and we loved them. These are even better than what I remember. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

Grandma Johnson's Scones

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2009
I made these at my stepdaughter's request. They were fabulous. I followed recipe exactly. The dough was sticky but just floured board, cut with pizza cutter and took off with spatula. It did have to bake an extra 10 minutes

Surprise Banana Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009
We thought this cake turned out a little heavy, so will be looking for another banana cake recipe. Also, watch the baking time--the stated time was a little too long for my oven.

Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

These were great. I made them with half butter, half shortening, and then used white chocolate/striped chocolate chips and regular semi-sweet chocolate chips.They were great.

Crab-Stuffed Filet Mignon with Whiskey Peppercorn Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2009
I wasn't really crazy about this receipe. I made as is, but had a tough time frying the filets to the doneness that my husband likes. Next time, I will prepare the sauce, make crab cakes and cook my steaks like I normally do.

Basic Corn Muffins

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2009
Very good recipe. I prefer a larger ratio of cornmeal to flour, so I used 1 1/2 cups cornmeal (stone ground) and 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour. I kept the rest of the ingredients the same and cooked in an iron skillet that I preheated in the oven. The bread is light and moist with a nice crispy crust. It's a keeper.

Cherry Almond Oatmeal

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009
I'm the submitter of the recipe. My husband recently requested this oatmeal made with chocolate almond milk, and he likes this even more than the vanilla. You can also use unsweetened milk and add a bit of agave nectar or any sweetener of your choice.

Super-Delicious Zuppa Toscana

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009
Very good mix of ingredients. We do not like Italian sausage, so I used sliced, spicy smoked sausage sauteed until browned. I omitted the bacon since the sausage was smoked. I also added quite a bit more spinach but stuck pretty close to the rest of the ingredients. It was a hit but next time, I'll use a bit less sausage and add more potatoes and even more spinach.

Papa Drexler's Bavarian Pretzels

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2009
My hubby and I are eating these straight out of the oven with mustard. Even with fingers burning, they are impossible to resist. YUMMY! My dough was a bit soft, I think because I didn't put quite enough flour. But it was easy to work with, and these are delicious. A definite keeper for us. **Forgot to mention that I doubled the recipe and also added about 2 TBS malt powder to the flour.**

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies I

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2009
These are yummy, chewy cookies. I had no issues with them being too flat like some reviews said. I baked them at 350 for 10 minutes and they came out great. My 3-year-old and I had fun mixing them by hand and getting messy!

Snow Ice Cream II

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2009
We always called this snow cream, and it was a great treat for me as a kid since, living in Missippi, we didn't get a chance to make it often. I loved it, and it's still a treat to this day. But since I live in Wisconsin now, I have the occasion to make it more often! I use superfine sugar in mine and 1 % milk with a splash of half-n-half.

Gulliver's Cream Corn

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2009
My mom and I have been making this dish for years, and it's very popular at family gatherings. We do not use the MSG but keep everything else pretty close. I usually add a can of diced, roasted chiles to mine for a different twist. It's a very good recipe.

Jay's Signature Pizza Crust

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2009
Very good crust for deep dish pizza. As many other reviewers noted, I did have to add at least an extra cup of flour. I mixed in my Kitchen-Aid with the dough hook, and it turned out well. I made 2 medium Chicago-style pizzas, and they came out great. This recipe won't replace my go-to one for thin crust, but it's a keeper for the deep dish. UPDATE: Made this again, and it's even better this time. I added about 4 1/2 cups flour and let the dough rest for 15 minutes to so after punching it down and before I pressed into the pans. Excellent taste and texture. The only thing preventing the 5-star rating for me is that there's too little flour in the original recipe, but I may forgive that soon!

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2009
Great recipe :) I made it with out the rue or milk and it turned out fantastic. I simply added more stock in place of the milk. Less calories and equally delicious. Was a wonderful way to use up leftover ham from the holidays.

Hasty Chocolate Pudding

Reviewed: Jan. 9, 2009
After a long, difficult week at work, I saw this recipe and decided some comfort food was in order. That it was a quick and easy recipe was even better. To my surprise, this is also really good. I'm eating it warm as I write this. I used Dutch-process cocoa (premium high-fat stuff), slightly less than 3 Tbs cornstarch, and whisked in a pat of butter once it was finished cooking. I will definitely keep this recipe! Don't skip the vanilla--it really rounds out the flavor of the chocolate.

My Chili

Reviewed: Jan. 9, 2009
I have to agree, combine the taste of this chili with its ease, it deserves 5 stars. IMO, some of the simplest recipes are also the best. The only thing I did differently was that I used two 24 oz. cans of stewed tomatoes instead of four 15 oz. cans. Topped the bowls with shredded cheddar, sour cream and crushed tortilla chips...mmmmm. I will also freeze some for chili cheese dip later on and for taco salads.
