Roasted Pork Loin

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2009

The guys gave this 4 stars. I cooked it in the slow cooker and I think it wold have been better in the oven. I followed the recipe exaclty and they are still eating the left overs so they must have liked it.

Granny's Spice Rub

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2009

Used this on baked chicken. It's very traditional and inoffensive, but it feels like it needs something more. 4.5 out of 5.

I was worried this would be too spicy, but I used this on a roast and it was awesome. My guests all went back for seconds. Thanks!

Shoofly Pie IV

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2009

Sorry to have to give this such a low rating...It is a GREAT pie but without MOLASSES, it is NOT a SHOO FLY PIE, and I have eaten many versions...I made this recipe and enjoyed it, but then changed the white sugar to Black Strap Molasses and it was fantastic...The cornmeal helps to firm the pie a bit...

Very fluffy and very sweet. I used half-and-half instead of milk for extra richness. We love it!

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies I

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2009

These are the most amazing cookies I've ever made. I did, however, take out the walnuts and make it half semi-sweet chips and half white-chocolate chips, to mimick Otis Spunkmeyer's cookies of this similar flavor. Everyone I make them for goes NUTS and becomes addicted!!!!

Snickerdoodles II

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009

Used butter flavored Crisco, which I think lent a weird sour/chemically aftertaste. Never used it before & wanted to try it before holiday baking ensues. The texture was great, though they didn't spread very much. Probably will try another recipe next time.

Foolproof Meringue

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009

This is a good standard meringue. You can add 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar to help stabilize the meringue if you like.

The Most Incredible Garlic Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009

I have been making garlic bread this way for many years. I got the recipe from a chef. It always gets terrific reviews! Thanks for the recipe and the reminder of how terrific it is ...but you do have to watch it closely at it burns quickly.

good recipe, i didn't have enough cream cheese to double as others recommended, they're fine as is. i added 2 Tbsps sour cream to my mix & used chopped almonds instead of walnuts. i really like this isn't the typical graham crust base. YUMMY!!

Kielbasa and Cabbage II

MMMM. So good. I used turkey kielbasa instead of regular because it is so much healthier for you. So good! I love cabbage and kielbasa! I served this over whole wheat egg noodles for a complete meal. Delicious!

Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2009

I let the garlic and oil sit for about half an hour, allowing the oil to be infused with flavor. Used Italian seasoned bread crumbs.`I had 4 large breasts and thought the amount of crumbs was just about right, with a little extra to sprinkle over top. I found this recipe very flavorful.

Grandma Ople's Apple Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2009

Thank you Grandma Ople! Her tradition carries on through each and every holiday. We love this recipe, I do add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon - I mix it into the apples rather than the sauce. I combine the apples with 1/2 the sauce then put it in the shell. I top with lattice and pour and brush the remainder on. I use the premade rolled out crusts when I'm pressed for time and I can't tell the difference between those and homemade - not like the frozen crusts that come in the pan. Thank you for a new tradition!

Black Lung Braised Brisket

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2009

I have always thought that if you are going to use marinade for sauce you should make extra and set it aside. I made the marinade and it is really good but I made extra and discarded the meat soaked marinade in the bag. Very tender...and the name doesn't fit.

Grandma's Polish Perogies

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2009

These were pretty easy to make and tasted good too. I added both sauted onions and onion powder. I also threw in some chili powder too, which I think was a good thing. I didn't have enough sour cream so I threw in some cream cheese and a little milk and I don't think it hurt it any. We will probably never buy another box of perogies. My husband is already to make them with cabbage now.

Easy Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009

These were great. I cut the recipe in half, make larger cookies and had to cook them for a bit longer. The only changes to the recipe that I made were that I put in twice the amount of vanilla extract and I added some almond extract. I also iced them and dumped a bunch of sprinkles and decorations on them. I used the Sugar Cookie Frosting recipe on this site by Kathy Brandt.
