Watermelon Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2009

Cutting the watermelon is a challenge to be sure, but the flavor of cold watermelon and the great presentation is so worth it. Add a little mint and a dash of salt give it a brighter flavor. I left out the bananas, as they tend to get a little too mushy for my taste. Great, refreshing and delicious fruit bowl. B.J.

Crusty French Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2009

I wasn't quite sure what consistency the dough needed to be before baking, and I think I should've kneaded it some more. I was hoping for a nice baguette-style loaf, but it spread out a little bit and didn't get the crunch I was looking for, even with the egg wash. Of course, that could be because I'm a novice at bread making. I also cut down on the sugar and used just 1 Tbs, but it was still a bit sweet.

Blackened Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2009

I used my cast iron pan and seared for 2 minutes on each side, then put the pan and all into the oven for about 8 minutes more. No need to switch to a baking sheet. I had two large chicken breasts, and I cut them each in half and pounded them out so they'd cook more quickly. I also didn't have each of the spices, but I used what I had of them, plus garlic powder, and it turned out great! I'm looking forward to the leftovers over pasta tomorrow!

Sage Cream Cheese

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2009

Very good! I added lemon juice instead of lemonade concentrate and mixed in some plain greek yogurt to soften it a bit. I left it out with crackers at a party and there was none left at the end of the night!

The Best Banana Pudding

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2009

I thought the sweetness overpowered the banana flavor, so I think I'll try leaving out the sweetened condensed milk next time. Also, I only used 4 bananas and didn't use the whole box of vanilla wafers either. It's definitely a great recipe!

I didn't like the chunks of chicken from the cream of chicken soup, but other than that, this was a good recipe - I'll make it again.

Pepperoni Cheese Balls

Reviewed: May 30, 2009

What a good recipe- I would have never thought to use pepperoni in a dip! I used veggie pepperoni (since I'm a vegetarian) and added plenty of onion and garlic powder. I also rolled mine into a log instead of balls.

Stir and Drop Sugar Cookies II

Reviewed: May 28, 2009

I made mine with 1 1/2 cups flour and 1/2 cup corn meal but thought the original recipe was great. I liked the not-so-sweetness and the cake-like texture. These are great late-night cookies-- I made these at midnight and it was nice to just drop them on the pan instead of rolling out dough!

Caramel Apple Cheesecake

Reviewed: May 18, 2009

This recipe was quite delicious and super easy! I used the pre-packaged mini graham cracker crusts b/c I can't make a crust to save my life plus I was making for my mom's bday and didn't want to give her half the pie as I HAD to see what it tasted like. Nonetheless, I used the no sugar added apple pie filling (use sugar added if you can find) and I did notice a little difference in the taste...so I added a little cinnamon and a bit of sugar and it turned out fine! Placed the apple filling in the bottoms and covered with the cream cheese filling. Baked at 350 for about 20 or so minutes with a water bath below. FIRST TIME A CHEESECAKE DIDN'T BREAK ON ME!! I let them cool for a bit on a rack then transferred to frig. I made the sauce and added a little more cinnamon and let it cool a bit as well b/c I thought the warm sauce/cool cake would ruin it. It turned out perfect! Try this one, its easy and tasty. I added a dollop of whipped cream when I served.

Rainbow Sherbet Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2009

I HAVE NOT EVEN TAKEN A BITE OF THIS YUMMY DESSERT, AND I ALREADY KNOW IT WILL BE 5-STAR! My grocery store did not have any angel food cakes (Duh -the day before Easter!) I instead purchased a bakery pound cake, split it in 4 layers, used raspberry, lime, and orange sherbet. Freeze the cake before frosting to let everything set! I plan to use a homemade whipped cream frosting, instead of the whipped topping, but this goes together quickly and I can see it will be a winner!
