I rated this five stars, but it was my first sourdough starter, so I really have nothing to compare it to. I like the way my bread turned out, but it tasted more like plain white bread and less like sourdough--I'm not sure if that's because I only had my starter for two weeks when I made the bread, or if the starter isn't very good. Next time I do it I'll wait longer and see what happens. Thanks!

Awesome and Easy Creamy Corn Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009

This was good, but it seemed to be missing something. The flavor wasn't all there. I'm not sure what could be added to complete it, but it was all eaten regardless.

Monte Cristo Sandwich

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009

This was soooo good. This is like a turkey/ham melt, but dipped in egg. Mine did come out soggy, but I think I had too much grease in the pan before frying. And next time I won't add so much milk to the egg or add more egg to the milk, since the egg is what gives it that nice crunch. I felt the milk contributed to some of the sogginess. I also added a tomato. Thanks for a great recipe to use leftovers in an unexpected way!

Gourmet Sweet Potato Classic

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009

I know I'm going against popular opinion here, but this recipe must be for those who don't like sweet potatoes. It tasted more like very sweet pumpkin pie than a sweet potato side dish. I did however like the topping and think that if the brown sugar was halved and the white sugar was entirely omited, it would be much improved.

Pecan Squares Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009

AWSOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!!! These cookies were by far the best bar cookie I have ever had. One tip, the crust should bake the full time(16 minutes for my smaller pans). I had forgotten to check on it and when the time was up, they almost looked burnt, I decided I couldn't unwind a clock and moved forward. They were the perfect texture when done. To avoid the sticky uncooked texture I read about, I reduced the temp to 325 when the filling went in and used one 8X8 and one 8X10 I actually preferred SOME stickiness of the middle pieces and will likely use a 10X15 nex time, but still use the 325 temp. I think this is the first time I didn't feel the need to modify a recipe either before or after. Thanks Sylvia for a great recipe!!!!

Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009

These were delish! I took advice from other reviewers and just mixed the flour and cornstarch in with the breadcrumbs and did a double coating. I will try freezing the cheese before using next time as others suggested to keep the cheese from oozing, which mine did but was still a hit! Thanks for this fab recipe!

Super-Easy Rocky Road Fudge

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2009

I did an ingredient search for semi-sweet chocolate b/c I had some in the pantry and was wanting a chocolate fix and this recipe came up. I tried it since I had all the ingredients and I am glad I did. I have never made fudge in the microwave and will never make it on the stove again. This was very good and super easy!!! Thank you!

These are all right. I added some Dizzy Pig Raging River Rub after cooking to give them some flavor.

Sugary Orange Peel

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2009

Everyone said, "Candied orange peels? That's disgusting." And then they tried them. Not bad at all, and easy enough to make, if a little time consuming. I used extra syrup mixture as well, and I saved it for the next time I make sticky buns.

Lasagna Roll-Ups

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2009

These were a little harder to roll up than I thought they would be and messier, but DELICIOUS!!! We always have so much left over from lasagna, so this is a great food saver. I just make one for the each of us (4 total). These would be great served to company! I have also made these with Italian sausage and spinach. just as versatile as regular lasagna. Thanks for a a great recipe, Virginia!

Oatmeal Dinner Rolls

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2009

Excellent texture, color, and smell--just a little bland. Easily doctored with some butter, though. Next time I'll try doubling the brown sugar. Thanks!
