Exactly the recipe I was looking for! I just finished making some and as a variation, put some chocolate chips in the bottom of pan before spreading the peanut butter/corn flake mix onto it. The heat melts the chips and they fuse onto the bars. Yum, chocolate and peanut butter. I learned to make these in a high school cooking class and loved them. All I could remember after all these years was 1 cup of peanut butter and 1 cup corn syrup. I thought it was for 5 cups of corn flakes...and 1/2 cup sugar...so glad I found this recipe!

Lebkuchen V

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2008

Having been stationed in Germany many years ago, I fell in love with lebkuchen. I have tried many recipes over the years and this is one of the better ones. I did not change a thing and am quite happy with the results. Thank you for this recipe and a chance at bringing back some very pleasant memories.

Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2008

I made this pie to take to Thanksgiving dinner at a friend's house. It was a hit! It was so good, that most of it disappeared that day. So, I had to make another one for a weekend get-together with some other friends...One of which did not previously like pecan pie. She says the bourbon made the difference by countering the sweetness. I will be making this one again and again. The only thing I changed was to take a tip from previous reviewers to put the chocolate chips on bottom rather than in the mix.

Grandma's Famous Salmon Cakes

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2008

This is the same recipe my Mom and I always use with one exception, we add about 1/4 cup of cornmeal to give it a more southern taste. I don't remove the bones either as it adds calcium to the meal if you just crush all the bones into the mixture.

Baked Beans, Texas Ranger

Reviewed: Jul. 3, 2008

Just made this according to the directions and it was great. Sweet at first taste and then the heat takes you by suprise. Not overwhelmingly spicy but if you are not used to spice this may not be for you. This one goes in my box and has me thinking of variations.

Fresh Cranberry Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2007

My husband is very particular and I was so happy when he really loved this recipe. First I made it exactly as it is, then later I made it again but changed the whip cream to Cool Whip. He didn't like it anymore after that. So I will stick to this original recipe from now on.

Spinach Strudels

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2007

I tried this recipe the other day. I took some liberties. I don't use my oven much in the summer as I don't have air conditioning in my kitchen. So, I used wonton wrappers instead of phyllo, and made little triangular pastries. I fried them in a skillet. They were delicious! I can't wait for the weather to cool off so I can try the recipe as it is written.

Penne with Yogurt-Tahini Sauce

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2007

I tried this recipe yesterday. It was delicious! I used green rather than red peppers and added them sooner as my old teeth needed a little softer bite. Even my finicky husband loved this recipe.

This recipe could be stretched out a little more as I thought it was too sweet for my tastes.

Baked Ziti I

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2004

Very good! I had to adjust the recipe a bit to accomodate only myself and my husband. As a result, there was way too much onion. Nothing I can't fix. I will definitely be making it again. Thanks.
