J.P.'s Big Daddy Biscuits

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2008
These are really really good! I substituted half & half for the milk and butter for the shortening, just because that's what I had on hand. I mixed the dough as directed, but I didn't kneed it or anything - just spooned it out onto the baking sheet in 6 mounds, flattened it out, and into the oven it went. They rose well and taste wonderful! Great recipe!!

This was pretty good! Next time I don't think I will add as much rice though.

Chococonut Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2008
Not sure what the big deal is about these cookies. They're just sortof blah. Can't taste the coconut, and they looked nothing like the picture - totally flat. I suppose you could up the flour to get them a little fatter, but for me, it's not worth making them again. No one liked them. Shoot!

Hot Fudge Ice Cream Bar Dessert

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2008
I've made this more times than I can remember! I use a big jar of HOT FUDGE (not syrup) and mix it right out of the jar with the peanut butter - I don't heat it. Ice cream bars on the bottom, then the chocolate mixture, then some nuts, then coolwhip, then repeat. Little taller than the pan. I pop it in the freezer overnight and bring it out about 20 minutes before we eat. Incredible. Tastes like a peanut buster parfait from Dairy Queen. YUMMO!!!

Hot Fudge Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2008
Woah. This is great. I'm glad I re-read the recipe - I thought it was 4 squares of unsweetened chocolate - glad I caught it's SEMISWEET! Although it could stand to be a little less sweet. I might try with bittersweet chocolate next time. But there WILL be a next time! Yowza!

Lemon Curd

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2008
WOW! This is really really good. My first time making lemon curd - I only had bottled lemon juice (GASP!) - but it worked very well. Next time I'll use real lemons and peel and I'm sure the flavor will be even better - but this is hard to beat! So easy and so very good! Thanks for the amazing recipe!

Simply Lemon

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2008
I'm one of those people who sees a poor review on a recipe and believes the cook must have done something wrong. :-( This time, however, I'm certain I followed the recipe to a "T" - and it is just not good! The texture of the cheesecake is just awful, and there's no real flavor - at all. Not rich or creamy or anything! I'll make this again only to see what I did wrong - but after this first attempt...ugh. Just not good! Sorry!

Trail Mix Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2008
These are okay. Really a good base muffin you can add about anything to. I couldn't bring myself to use 3/4 cup of oil, so I subbed in 1/2 cup applesauce and 1/4 cup oil. Didn't affect them in the slightest. I used craisins in place of the raisins and dried blueberries in place of the apricots. Walnuts in place of the peanuts. (I seriously hate when people mess with a recipe like that, but I couldn't help myself!) Just personal preference. One thing. I took the advice of another reviewer that said they didn't rise much and filled them to the top. Mine rose a WHOLE LOT and overflowed my pan into a mess! So just be careful with your recipe!

Apple Cake V

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2008
I made this cake one time as written, and of course it was great - it was nothing but fat and fruit! WOW! So, knowing how many calories I could save, I made some modifications, and this is now one of my most-requested recipes. My modifications: Instead of 3 cups all-purpose flour, I use 1 cup whole wheat flour and 2 cups AP. I use 1.5 cups white sugar instead of the full 2 cups. I use 1 1/4 cups unsweetened applesauce in place of ALL of the oil. I use 3/4 cup of eggbeaters in place of the eggs. I increase the chopped apples to 4 cups. I omit the nuts. I make the topping as written, but serve it as a sauce on the side rather than dumping it on top. That seems like a lot of changes, but it's really a fabulous cake that CAN BE less awful for you!! :-)

Stovetop Granola

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2008
This actually was really good granola; however, I wished I'd taken the advice of some earlier posters. I think the addition of both vanilla and cinnamon would have been really great. As-is, it's just a little bit bland. I don't find it oily in the slightest, and it's plenty sweet. I don't measure anything, so I'm sure I over-did the honey, but I'll for sure make this again. I also made a batch with toasted coconut - really really like that. Will for sure try this one again - saves big $ over buying it at the store!

Paul's Southern California BBQ Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2008
This was very good. Used it for pulled pork and BBQ spare ribs....I couldn't get it to thicken up as much as I wanted it so it didn't get five stars.
