Sweet Coated Pecans

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2009

These turned out really well! I was very surprised; I tried another recipe similar to this one once and was highly displeased with the results. I doubled the recipe (and doubled the cookie sheets) & used peanuts & cashews, because that's what I had. I used the already-salted-in-a-can kind & omitted the salt from the recipe. I used PAM spray to lubricate my pan & wished I had used butter--after a few times turning the nuts, the PAM spray was no longer functioning, and I think the butter would've been better. Still, if you're feeling fat-conscious, the PAM spray did work--I just had to peel the last 1/4 cup or so of nuts off the foil very carefully! Thanks for the recipe, it's going to make great gifts this year! (P.S. 1 lb peanuts = 3cups, 1 lb cashews = 4 cups)

Easy Cheese Ball II

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2009

I made this for a Christmas party and all my guests loved it! I bought a small "festive" bowl to place the cheese ball in, so this recipe ended up yielding two small balls instead of one large ball for me! Yummy!

Praline Sweet Potatoes

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2009

My future mother-in-law raved about this. I will next time make the sweet potato part less sweet. The topping is a sugar rush all by itself.

Rolled Dumplings

It took me 55 years to try and make homemade dumplings. These are excellent and easy. I froze half the recipe and will let you know how they taste once reheated.

French Fried Potatoes

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2009

These were delicious. My whole family loved them. Quick and simple and a great side for lots of dishes. We added salt, pepper, chili and garlic powder to them for flavor (I add that to all the fries we cook). Will definitely make again!

In all fairness, I am giving this rating for a concept, alone because I did change some things. My rating is based on the use of the cottage cheese in the recipe. Let me just say yum!

Peanut Butter Fudge

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2009

This is a pretty good recipe... it is very smooth and rich as it should be. I wasn't exactly paying attention to it while it was on the stove so it might have been on there for two minutes more or two minutes less than what was expected but whatever I did, it must have made changes for the better. All of my other peanut butter fudges hav been too gloopy and thick for my liking... this one is perfect. My only negative comment is how stick it was because of the marshmallow cream. Next time I will use less- I don't think it will matter to the already sweet recipe. :)

Very Easy Shrimp Dip

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2009

It really is very easy and it was loved by everyone which is even better. I doubled the recipe and made my own cocktail sauce. Ketchup, horseradish and lemon juice. You can add a little brown sugar if you don't like it too spicy. Just keep adding and tasting until you like it.

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2009

Awesome!!! I have been looking for a new & better recipe for choc. chip cookies and this is it. They come out just as it says. Crispy on the outside & chewy on the inside. My hubby & kids love them! The only things I changed---I omitted the nuts (I prefer my choc. chip cookies without nuts) and I added 1/2 tsp Cream of Tarter (it doesn't change the flavor it just gives the cookie a different appearance). This recipe is definitly a keeper!!

Chicken with Mushrooms, Prosciutto, and Cream Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2009

This was incredibly good! I used chicken breast since I had them on hand, and mixed some sliced onions in with the mushrooms. This was delicious served with garlic mashed potatoes and California blend veggies. The sour cream gave a different flavor to your typical cream sauce.
