BBQ Bacon Ranch Dip

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2009

This dip is fantastic! I had my doubts about the combination of ingredients, but it all works well together. It was quickly devoured at the party I took it to. Unfortunately when I went to make it I realized I didn't have the ranch dressing mix. So I just used one package of cream cheese blended with about 3/4 cup bottled ranch dressing. Didn't have the problem others had about scoopability since I used that. I will make the dip as written next time, there will definitely be a next time.

Orange Salmon with Rice

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2009

The dish came out delicious, however I had to add a few modifications. First I increase the oj to about half a cup since I had large fillets, in addition I used perhaps 3 tablespoons of soy sauce. I also added some orange marmalade to give it extra sweetness. Aside from that my family enjoyed the salmon.

Sweet Potato Casserole II

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009

I'm not sure if it would have been different if I used fresh sweet potatoes instead of canned but using canned it was 4 stars. Alot of people complained that it was too sweet but in my opinion it wasn't sweet enough. lol. There also wasn't enough to fit in that sized pan so I mixed up a little more. I added the marshmallows throughout because I'm pregnant and have been craving them and I think that saved this for me. haha. Everyone else said it was great but there was still some on some left on their plates. I'll probably make this again with more sugar and cinnamon.

Easy Cheese Ball II

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009

I'm not a big cheese person so my opinion didn't really count but my husband LOVED it when I made it last year so I made it again this year. We had guests this year and they loved it, too. I love how easy it is to make and it's gone fairly quickly. I'll be making this every year as hubby requested. :)

Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burgers

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2009

This is a great recipe. My husband is a major meat-eater and he still loves them. He actually requests these. We make it a little different. Instead of using hot sauce, we use Worchestershire sauce and it comes out fabulous. It was a little strong for me this time...but I'm pretty sure that's because my husband was "helping" me and added more sauce after I had already put extra in twice. lol. Anyway, these are amazing and good for you...definitely 5 stars!

French Toast II

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2009

This was very quick and easy. I admit that the bread did get soggy if you let it saturate but if you toast it in the toaster first then just dip it like twice into the mixture it comes out perfect. I know toasting it first sounds weird but it works...just put it on the lowest toaster setting so you don't actually cook it. lol. Other than that, we all loved the flavor, including my picky husband and 15 month old.

Spinach Quiche

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009

I prebaked the crust for 10 minutes and used chopped ham and mozzarella instead of mushrooms and feta and I only used 4 tablespoons of butter instead of 1/2 cup. This turned out fantastic, my whole family loved it!

Cake Balls

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2009

This was a great concept and it was really good. I made two types of cakes. One was yellow cake with chocolate frosting and they came out ok. Then i made red velvet with cream cheese frosting and it soooooo so good. They are time consuming but worth the time and fun to make. I find freezing them for 20 mins once molded helps keep them together when dipping.

Cookie Balls

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2009

I already knew these would taste good.. but they were so simple too. I crushed the cookies in a blender, melted the cream cheese. I placed the mix in the freezer for 20 min so it would be easier to mold. Once i molded them i placed them back in for another 20 min so they would stay in place while i dipped them. Worked for me:)

Mini Pumpkin Butterscotch Muffins

Wow! These were great. Do not change a thing in this recipe. The pairing of the pumpkin and butterscotch seems odd but they compliment eachother so well. The color was also very fall-ish:)

Honey Butter

My family loved this recipe...I used a stick of salted butter and just eyeballed the honey until it became the right amt of sweetness that we liked. Place back in fridge and it was marvelous this morning on some hot biscuits.

Mrs. Sigg's Snickerdoodles

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2009

These are so delicious and moist I followed the advise of some of the viewers by not cooking them too long (around 6-8 minutes or less). I also found that 400 was too high and was cooking the bottom before the center so I reduced to 350 and it was perfect. My dough was a little wet not like pie dough were it was firm but I was able to work with it (not forming perfect ball but close and the cookies still came out perfectly round).

No Fail Pound Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 2, 2009

This is indeed a delicious CAKE but not what Southerns would call a Pound Cake. The only adjustment I made was add a touch bit more of lemon extract and then I followed it with a lemon glaze once the cake was cooled (2 TBSP of melted butter, about a cup and half of powdered sugar, dash of lemon extract, and 3 good squirts of concentrate lemon juice; mix and pour/drizzle over cooled cake).

Italian Spaghetti Sauce with Meatballs

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2009

Meatballs only: very good. I would add more seasoning for taste i.e onion powder, salt, and more garlic. I would never have thought to cook them in the sauce. I use canned sauce, despite everyone's claim that the sauce is so good. I have found canned sauce, when added to, is quite delicious.
