Blueberry Gingerbread

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009
Wow! Loved this recipe. Followed the recipe exactly. Got rave reviews from family. Not to sweet or bitter - just absolutely perfect! I cooked mine in the tiny little aluminum bread pans, wrapped in christmas plastic bags with pretty ribbon and a little tag as gifts. Perfect!

Pecan Sandies

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2009
Awesome! Also I recommend trying this: once I didn't have pecans, so I left them out and put Sugar Cookie Icing (on this website) on top. AMAZING! I also advise against making the pecan sandies balls too big -- they expand a LOT.

Sugar Cookie Icing

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2009
AWESOME! I did have to add extra milk, but otherwise it is perfect. I added a little extra almond extract and it made my cookies have a wonderful almond taste -- definitely recommended.

Broccoli Cheese Soup V

Great recipe. I followed another reviewer's suggestion and substituted cheddar for 1/2 lb of the Velveeta. The flavor is excellent.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009
I made this today since I was craving chicken & dumplings but forgot to thaw my whole chicken last night. I used frozen, thawed boneless chicken breasts and chunked them up before cooking. I used dry white wine and chicken broth in place of the water and added poultry seasoning, thyme, freshly ground pepper, and dried pepper flakes and I made my own dumplings (worth the trouble since they're my favorite part of c & d). I only had to cook the dumplings about 35-40 minutes. EXCELLENT! I hope there is some left by suppertime! A definite do-again! Thanks.

Soft Sugar Cookies IV

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2009
Absolutely THE BEST soft sugar cookie I've ever eaten. I put a buttercream frosting on them and they are wonderful with a cup of coffee. This is one I'll definitely make over and over.

Soft Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2009
Absolutely wonderful - not too sweet and so soft and chewy! I made them "drop-style", just like the recipe called for but I used a small scoop and made them smaller. I also iced them with a vanilla and almond extract buttercream. Highly recommended!

Chococonut Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2009
Fantastic recipe. My husband is deployed and I send him cookies every week, so I am always looking for new recipes. I found this one and wow! My husband loved them, as did he coworkers. I immediately got a request for an encore.

Beth's Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2009
I have made this recipe using all butter and following the recipe exactly, using the shortening. Butter is better. The cookies did not turn out any chewier using the shortening and the flavor is far superior using all butter. That, said, this is a very good recipe. I leave out the raisins and add walnuts.

Rum Truffles

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2009
Oh goodness gracious. How heavenly! I used butter cake crumbs instead of chocolate and I think that was better than chocolate cake would have been. This is chocolaty enough as it is! I would also add either dried coconut or nuts for a little crunch next time. BE SURE to use a high quality chocolate, though I don't believe that bittersweet chocolate is necessary.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2009
This was fabulous! It seemed to bake FOREVER, and it never really got done, so I finally just took it out. The inside was a bit too squishy for us, but the edges were delicious -- I think I may have added too much pumpkin... be careful! Also, more chocolate chips in this recipe does not make it better -- it's already quite rich.

Simple Beef Flavored Gravy

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009
I can't believe how delicious this gravy is! I made it two nights in a row. I used 1 1/2 cups water, 3 beef bouillon cubes, 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter and pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to taste. Very good considering the ease of preparation. I like mine over rice with a beef patty. A few shakes of Worchestershire sauce in the gravy adds a nice richness as well.

Cookies 'n' Creme Fudge

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009
This recipe was incredibly quick and delicious! I will be making this fudge again for Christmas. I used 18 ounces (or approximately 3 cups) of Nestle white chocolate chips, a 14 ounce can of Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, a pinch of salt and about 1/2 of a 1 lb. 2 oz. package of Oreo cookies. I broke each Oreo in 4 to 5 pieces while the other ingredients were melting together over low heat. Once the chocolate chips were completely melted, I gently folded in the broken Oreo cookies. I poured the fudge into an 8x4 inch bread pan which I lined with aluminum foil and sprayed lightly with cooking spray. The result was a tall fudge like the kind you see at fudge shops. This recipe was incredible and I love the simplicity of the preparation. Tastes just like Hershey's Cookies 'N' Cream bars, only better!

Pumpkin Turkey Chili

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2009
The taste was pretty good, although slightly bland. The worst part of this dish was the texture: VERY thick. I liked the unique taste that the pumpkin added, but if I made it again, I would add chicken broth or something to thin it out.

Mrs. Sigg's Snickerdoodles

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009
This recipe is great. It doesn't yeild many cookies, so I would recomend doubling. The flavor is great and the texture is even better- crisp around the edges and chewy in the middle. Thanks for a great recipe.

Coconut Oatmeal Cookies I

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009
Yum! These are my new favorite cookie! I made these to send to my husband in Iraq and couldn't help but to snag a few. They are exceedingly chewy and have a great light coconut flavor. I made a full batch which made about 2 dozen large cookies. I substituted butter for the shortening. Great.

Molasses Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009
Excellent!!! I recently made these to send to my husband in Iraq. He liked them a lot- I love them! They're chewy, spicy and delicious. They mail well, too. I used store-bought molasses and it worked fine. Thank you for a superb recipe.

Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009
Great mailing cookies. I send these to my husband in Iraq on a regular basis. He loves getting them. I follow the recipe almost exactly. If you live in the south and use White Lilly Flour (the best) remember to add a little extra- I usually add another 1/4 to 1/2 cup- it's more finely milled and less dense, sort of like cake flour. Thanks for a great recipe.
