Pizza Pinwheels

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2009
These were a good idea, but the crescent roll dough was just too small and didn't stick together right. They tasted good, but were way too messy. I will definitely make these again, but I think I will use pizza dough this time.

Slow Cooker Spicy Black-Eyed Peas

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2009
This recipe was truly fantastic. I made a couple of changes, simply because of what I had on-hand. I used turkey ham intead of pork, and vegetable bullion cubes instead of chicken. These beans were fantastic while hot and fresh, but I left them in the crockpot, turned off, overnight, and they were even better this morning! The sauce thickened up, so they're the texture of baked beans, with chunks of meat and fantastic flavor. Definitely making this super-simple recipe again!

The Best Banana Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2008
I've tried many banana bread recipes, both new and classic, but this one was perfect. Simple and flavorful. I've made it twice this week alone! We don't do margerine, so I subbed butter. I also like adding ground flax to my baking, and 1/2 cup added to this recipe was perfect. I also put my bananas in the food processor and really puree them until they're thin and light. Makes for even fluffier bread and muffins. For muffins, I baked 30 minutes instead of the hour for the bread.

Red Velvet Cake

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2008
I made this cake for the first time a couple weeks ago. It was just ok. I followed the suggestion of several reviews and used the Cream Cheese Frosting II recipe instead of the one here, because so many people disliked the recommended frosting. Overall, the first try was ok. I cooked the cake for the full 30 minutes. Not a good idea. It came out dry, crumbling and bland. The cream cheese frosting is what gave the cake some flavor. I'm giving this recipe five stars because the second time I made it, it was AMAZING! I followed the recipe to a T, but used Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder, and baked the cake for 20 minutes. Perfect! I also used the original frosting recipe. I followed the directions exactly, and was VERY dissapointed that it came out looking like curdled milk, even though it tasted good. I decided to stick to it and whipped the frosting with my beaters on high speed while I turned the bowl by hand. It took a good fifteen minutes of mixing, but when I was done, it was the lightest, fluffiest, smoothest, richest frosting I've ever made. Such a unique, but delightful cake! I do wish that the author would have added important details like the mixing necessary for the frosting, considering he/she was SO strict about every OTHER little detail. ;-)

Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2008
Absolutely awesome. Added an extra 1/4 cup broth, and that was it. Will make this many, many more times. I can't wait to try it out on other people.

Cream Cheese Frosting II

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2008
I used this with a pumpkin cookie recipe I found on this site and it was delicious. The consistency is wonderful--very creamy and smooth, but with some body. It is a bit tangy-er than most frosting, but it was a perfect compliment to the pumpkin cookies. I'd love to try it on chocolate cupcakes someday. One downside: it doesn't really set up (or it takes more than a day to do so, at any rate), so depending on where and how you are transporting the frosted piece, that could be a problem.

Iced Pumpkin Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2008
These are fabulous! I don't even like pumpkin, and I thought they were great. My boyfriend, a pumpkin fanatic, now has a new favorite cookie. Love the cakey texture. I used the Cream Cheese Frosting II recipe from this site for the icing--it just sounded yummier to me at the time!

Linda's Lasagna

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2008
Amazing. I added mushrooms, but left everything else the same. Very yummy and not too difficult (but, like most lasagnas, a bit time intensive).

Baked Potato Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2008
Delicious! It's definitely got a bit more kick than the average potato soup. Next time, I'll add a bit more bacon (personal preference). I do wish that it was a bit thicker, but it still tastes great!

Magic Peanut Butter Middles

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2008
These are great! I did have to add a bit more milk to the chocolate dough--I'm not sure how much, probably a tablespoon or two--after it wasn't smoothly wrapping around the peanut butter balls. But after I remixed with the milk, it worked great! (The dough should be easily rolled and should not break apart when flattened.) I shipped these halfway across the country, and they arrived tasty and intact. As others have noticed, it does take a bit more work than a simple chocolate chip cookie, but not much more, and I think that now that I've made them once, the time difference will be negligible.

Chicken Enchiladas II

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2008
Pretty tasty, although the creaminess can be overwhelmingly rich. I think that part of my problem was that I did a poor job of dividing the filling evenly, and so some of the enchiladas were quite large--by the time you try to plow through one of those, it is a bit much!

Roll-Out Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2008
I just sat down from making these. I forgot to add the egg initially, so the first batch was without it. They tasted fine anyway...hubby said he actually preferred those! He did say he'd like more sugar in the dough either way. Maybe I'll add 1/4c. to 1/2c. more sugar next time. I'll also cut back on the lemon extract by half, using only 1/4tsp. I rolled these extra thick, about 1/4inch, so they'd be soft & chewy. I cooked them for about 10 minutes and then let them sit on the hot tray for a while. It made about 32 cookies. I guess I don't like the hassle of painting on the icing. I ended up dumping the cookies in the bowl of icing face down & then giving them a shake. I think I'll stick with the colored granulated sugar, especially for Christmas.

Chocolate Crinkles II

PERFECTION! I had never made crinkles before this recipe, but I wasn't dissapointed. They were easy and OH-SO YUMMY! I substituted butter for the oil, Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa Powder, and excluded the vanilla extract(didn't have any). SOOOOOO GOOD!

Creamy Caramel Flan

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2008
YUM! My husband finds most desserts too sweet but he loved this, and so did I. I used 6 6 ounce ceramic cups to bake it in and it fit perfectly. I overcooked the sugar, and it stuck in big clumps to the bottom of the cups, even though I heated them first. No big deal-it formed a nice syrup anyway, but that did make some craters in the surface of the flan. I'll have to read up on other reviews for suggestions about caramelizing the sugar. This will be great to make for company, especially after a light meal, because it has some substance to it.

Curried Mustard Greens with Kidney Beans

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2008
This was absolutely delicious made with fresh mustard (and some kale) greens from the garden. I used coconut milk (low-fat) instead of the cream, onions and garlic instead of the shallots, home canned tomatoes, extra ginger and a lil bit of garam masala. Yummy and a great way to eat some nutritious greens and beans.

Penne Pasta with Spinach and Bacon

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008
EXCELLENT dish! I was trying to find a way to use up my fresh baby spinach before it went bad, and this was perfect. I made a few substitutions to make it work for us, like whole wheat pasta, and three diced, fresh tomatoes, uncured, nitrate-free bacon, and added 2 green onions to the sautee. The green onion added an excellent extra dimmension of flavor, without being over-powering. I also sauteed the spinach with the bacon/tomato mixture, to avoid a gritty texture often found in wilted spinach. We also added a sprinkle of parmesean and romano cheese over each serving. SO good! Even my 21-month-old loved it!
