BAKER'S® ONE BOWL Coconut Macaroons

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009

I have made this twice now and each time everyone raves about them. It is so so easy! I used only a 1/2 tsp of almond extract and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. As well as 3 Extra large egg whites. Really Good.

Warm Apple Buttermilk Custard Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2009

I'm not sure how anyone gets past the overwhelming sweetness to award this recipe so highly. I love sweet, and this was just too much for me; even my kids who are sugar crazed couldn't finish a small piece. I tried to scrape the topping off just to salvage the pie, but even then it was still difficult to stomach. I think if I made it again, I would leave off the topping(or cut sugar amounts in half) and use 1/4 cup sugar on the apples and 1 cup sugar in the custard. I'm wanting to give the recipe 2 stars, but feel that the pie would be really good if the sugar wasn't such a problem.

Swiss Chicken Casserole II

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2009

I absolutely loved this recipe because it is easy, healthy and so very tasty. I sprayed the dish with butter cooking spray. I didn't have herb seasoned stuffing so I used regular seasoned stuffing cubes and added thyme, garlic powder & salt and onion powder. I also used half & half instead of milk. I only had one very huge chicken breast so I cut it in half and it was even great to just eat the gravy with stuffing & cheese when the chicken was gone. I think I might make it again this week with more chicken so we can have seconds. Thanks so much for this recipe. If I could give it 10 stars I would **********.

Rick's Special Buttercream Frosting

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2009

Excellent! Makes alot! I had to throw 1/2 of mine away. I used 1 cup of shortning and 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter (suggested by someone on the site AND I didn't have 2 cups of shortning) Came out fabulous. Also, I put 1 cup of Whipping cream and that seemed to be enough, so I just stopped there. It could've been that I was light on the powdered sugar to try to even out that I didn't have a full cup of shortning. Regardless, this is a great recipe. For one layer of the cake, I added coffee liqeur on the cake and the frosting, delicious!!!

Panna Cotta

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009

This was really really good. I actually only used 1c of heavy cream and used 2% milk in place of the rest of the milk and cream called for, only because thats all I had. It turned out perfect! So creamy and rich, you wouldn't think I had altered it at all. At least it was a little healthier I guess. I served it with slices of ripe strawberries. I'm going to try making a sauce with strawberries & brown sugar and see how that goes. I plan to experiment with this recipe. But awesome as is.

Blueberry Muffins II

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2009

Question: Is the batter suppose to be so thick, or should I add more milk. I've made (other) muffins before, but the batter was NOT this thick. Anyway, I went ahead and added a splash more milk and I didn't realize that the berries had to be mashed, maybe that's why it was a little thick! They tasted very good! I've never made bb muffins before, so I might try other recipes, but these were good! What's wrong with purple batter anyway???

Beth's Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2009

This is definitely the best tasting oatmeal raisin cookie I have ever had! My husband loved them and he took some to work and they loved them too. I've made them a couple times now and sometimes I add shredded coconut. My only complaint is that the cookie is so soft the it just crumbles to the touch. I followed the directions as well as some reviewers' tips. No Luck.

Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2009

This was really really good. I never cooked dolphin fish before and so when I saw the frozen bag of them at Costco I decided to try it and came on AR to find a good recipe. I have to say this is a keeper. The only thing I would suggest is to start reducing the marinade in another saucepan before you start to fry the fish, that way, by the time you are ready to serve, the fish and glaze are warm.

Fruit Pizza II

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2009

Delicious! I made a day before and it was still great. Crust did not get soggy, although, I think it was because I baked it around 15 minutes (entire cookie was light-medium brown). I made it in a Pyrex glass rectangular dish. When it came time to cut it the next day, the crust was a little hard, but soft enought to eat and enjoy. Just a little banging of the glass when cutting it :) Tasted delicious! and the crust was perfect.

Cream Cheese Pound Cake I

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2009

EXCELLENT!!! I put "cookie icing" on it and it was great! Also, instead of almond extract, I put lemon extract. I ALWAYS use UNsalted butter, but I did not have any and thanks to My Husband who convinced me to make it anyway, I decided to make this using salted butter. IT was still fabulous. I guess with all the sugar, extracts, it worked!!! I might even use Salted butter next time, just because it was so perfect. Eventually I'll try both butters to see the difference!

Dark Chocolate Cake I

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2009

This recipe was fantastic! I substituted buttermilk for water, heated it and added 2 ounces of bakers chocolate stirring until melted. It was a nice extra kick of flavor. It can be a little difficult to get out of the pan (my first one crumbled). Luckily I had enough batter for a second cake and I used parchment paper that time, worked like a charm, the cake came out perfectly intact. Everyone loved the cake, it's great with a lemon buttercream, but I bet plain vanilla would be wonderful as well!
