Fried Apple Pies

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2009
"Divine" and "Holy COW!" were just a few of the reactions these tasty, flaky little pies received from my guests. The ratio of apples to crust was perfection, so there isn't much of a need to change this recipe at all. STILL...because I'm always tweaking things, I did add a tbsp butter, 2 tbsp flour and more spice to the apples (1/2 tsp cloves, 1/2 tsp nutmeg) while they were cooking. The results were tender, fragrant, tiny bites of bliss! A must try!

Extreme Banana Nut Bread 'EBNB'

Reviewed: May 27, 2009
This banana bread is very good.I made a couple of changes.The recipe calls for 1 cup butter or margarine, I used 1/2 cup margarine and 1/2 cup applesauce.The recipe also calls for 2 cups white sugar,Used 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup splenda.I also put a powdered sugar glaze on top.The bread was very moist and flavorfull.I also used pecans in place of the walnuts.I only baked it for about 50 minutes and it was done.Great recipe that I will make again.

Spiced Pita Chips

Reviewed: May 3, 2009
This are really good, especially topped with the edamame hummus. Make a double batch of the spice/oil mixture or use 1/2 the number of pita bread.

I LOVE this stuff! I bet it's even better on second and third day. Do save some edamame for garnish.

Maple Glazed Walnuts

Reviewed: Apr. 25, 2009
These are great on a pear salad or chopped up into a chicken salad. I love them as a quick snack, too. There's no bitterness at all with the walnuts.

Four Cheese Macaroni

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2009
Made this today for guests to go along with ham. I wanted something different, and this wasn't it. I followed the recipe as written except for adding a tiny bit more cheese and cream. I cooked as directed. It looked beautiful, but I could see the look on everyone's face that I had just made a major failure in the kitchen. I always make a recipe as written for the first time, then modify it to suit my tastes thereafter. It's a costly recipe with all the cheeses, cream, and butter. Also, a very disappointing recipe. I don't believe that a recipe that needs SO MANY major modifications to be edible should have such a high overall rating. I will not be making this again. The rating is misleading on this.

Slow Cooker Beef Stew I

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2009
This is excellent for a stew made in the crockpot. I prefer mine made on the stove, but being a working mom I needed a quick way to put together a hearty meal. I made exactly as written and may make some minor adjustments next time I make it just to experiment. Some people made time consuming changes and that's fine, but the point of using the crockpot during the week to me is ease of preparation and cleanup. This is a keeper.

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2009
These muffins were a hit! I was a little nervous because halfway through preparation, I realized that I had run out of baking soda and had to substitute extra baking powder (1 tsp baking soda = 2 tsp baking powder). However, they came out so moist and so dense that you wouldn't even know it! I even added some blueberries to half of the batter and WOW...great recipe, I'll be keeping this one nearby.

Cream Cheese Frosting II

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2008
This is the best thing I have ever tasted in my life. I could live off of it. I added a little more powdered sugar because I needed it to hold together a carrot cake wreck that I made, and it did the job perfectly. Next time I will make exactly as written and I can hardly wait. I imagine that it would be wonderful on pumpkin bread or bars.

Sam's Famous Carrot Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2008
I don't even like carrot cake, but this was fantastic. I had several people tell me that it's the best they ever had. I am not a cake baker. Always afraid of the exact measurements concept, but I tried it, and it turned out great except I couldn't get it out of the pan. (I made it as a 2-layer cake) I ended up using a spatula and lots of nerves to finally get it free. I greased and floured the pans pretty liberally, so I don't know what the deal is with that. Maybe I cooked it too long. I don't know, but it was great. As other reviewers suggested, I used Cream Cheese Icing II from this site, and it covered up all the dents from getting it out of the pan. Really good together. I will make it again, probably soon, except I'll cut down on the pineapple. It's a very forgiving recipe.

Herb Roasted Turkey Breast

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2008
I made this exactly as written and the seasoning overpowered the taste of the turkey breast too much for my liking. I prefer an authentic "turkey taste" so this didn't do it for me. Completely changed the taste, but I'm giving it three stars because it was easy, moist, and my turkey-hating family members liked it.
