Quick Yeast Rolls

Reviewed: May 14, 2008
These are pretty good. I've made them a few times now and they always turn out fairly well. I never put mine in muffin cups, I just dump spoonfuls of the dough onto the pan and they turn out just fine. I don't know why everyone's so uptight about the dough being sticky, since you don't have to knead it at all. The recipe is good as-is.

The Ultimate Pasta Salad

Reviewed: May 12, 2008
I love this recipe, esp since we all have oil and vinegar on hand. I also added diced up Salami. I like to get it sliced extra thick from the deli and dice it at home. Same with the pepperoni. It gives it a great meaty taste that my husband loves!

Hot Pizza Dip

Reviewed: May 12, 2008
Loved it, loved it, loved it! I did what someome else suggested and mixed the cream cheese and herbs together before hand. Also, I went to the deli counter and had some Pepperoni sliced extra thick and diced that up. I like my pepperoni think and in chunks. Nothing was left!

Honey Roasted Red Potatoes

Reviewed: May 12, 2008
This was a good recipe. I did add some Dijon mustard and some chopped Viadalia Onion. Great flavor, but it still came out a little dry for me, but that can be fixed with a touch of olive oil. It was still a hit. We had left-overs and I turned those into a really great potato salad the next day. To be honest I liked it better as a potato salad. :-)

Jambalaya

Reviewed: May 12, 2008
I made this recipe when I was just learning how to go out of my comfort zone with cooking. My husband loved it and he is a tough critic. This is a great recipe to follow to the T or add a little of your own style to it. I love it and cook it often now. Thank you!

Gingerbread Pancakes

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2008
I liked these a lot, as did my parents. My husband didn't care a lot for them, but he isn't crazy about gingerbread.

Honey Mustard Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2008
I scaled this down to six servings and halved the mayo, and it came out nicely. It also meant it was family-sized instead of buffet-sized. :)

Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2008
I prefer a chewier cookie myself, but it's still a terrific recipe and the cookies ARE soft. I'll continue to use this recipe and maybe tweak it until it suits my personal preferences. I didn't make any changes for the first round. I even added all the flour the recipe called for, even though I was worried that it couldn't possibly hold anymore. For the reviewer who wanted to know whether she should add the mix or the prepared pudding: the recipe actually states that you should blend in the pudding MIX, not prepared pudding. Maybe that was added later for clarification, but I had no trouble with the recipe as-is. Many thanks; it's a keeper!

Creamy Chocolate Frosting

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2008
I used this for Homemade Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (recipe found on this website). Since I used yellow cake mix, I wanted the icing between the cookies to be chocolate. What I love about this is that you can make it thin or thick, or you can omit the chocolate and add some more vanilla for vanilla icing. I didn't have the evaporated milk on hand, so I followed the suggestion of several other reviewers and used the milk I had on hand, which was whole milk. It turned out fantastic.

Homemade Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2008
I made mine with yellow cake mix and the Creamy Chocolate Frosting recipe found on this site. So they were vanilla-y on the outside and chocolaty on the inside. The only problem I had was that after baking for nine minutes the cookies were so dark on the bottom that they weren't quite burnt, but dark enough to really intrude on the flavor. Next time I'll lower the oven temperature and see how they turn out. Otherwise, really nice recipe, thanks so much!

Apple Oatmeal Cookies I

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2008
These cookies were delicious, they seemed too sticky at first so I added 1/4 cup flour extra. They turned out great and the whole family loved them. I will definitely make them again.

One Minute Chocolate Icing

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2008
This wasn't quite enough for my two-layer, 9" round cake. Next time I'll half again or double the recipe so it completely covers the sides. I had no trouble with the consistency. I poured the icing over the cake, then used a cake spatula to spread it and let it drip down the sides. The icing is a very, VERY dark chocolaty flavor (less cocoa next time), but overall, a good icing. Thanks!

Fudge Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2008
This cake was okay. It lacked chocolate flavor and wasn't very moist, but still it wasn't a *bad* cake. I wasn't all that disappointed when my two-year-old pulled the cake plate off the counter and sent it crashing to the floor, though.
