AMAZING!!! I used butter instead of shortening and that definately made it better! I added 1 tsp of cinnamon to the batter, and I also doubled the cinnamon topping and put half of it in middle of the cake then covered it with the rest of the batter. Also, with the second half of the topping I added about 1 TBSP of flour, 2 TBPS of brown sugar and then cut in 2 TBSP of room temp butter until it resembeled more of a crumbly mixture and sprinkled that on top. HOLY COW!!! It made a perfect strussel topping! I also followed other reviewers suggestions and drizzeled 1/2 a stick of melted butter over the top while it was still warm. Everyone raved over this!!! Thanx for the great recipe!

I personally loved it! Very interesting and I couldn't eat it alone, it was too rich but on top of a fudge brownie it would be great. My husband said it was too buttery but I give it 5 stars for uniqueness?!

I don't know about anyone else, but when I tried this I ended up with crumbly cornbread texture cupcakes that tasted like sugar cookies. I hate to say it, but ewwww.

This was pretty true to everyone else's reviews I'm happy to say! I left out the oil, threw the chicken in with the sauces and spices raw and just let it all simmer together for about 40 minutes, pulled the chicken out, shredded it, put it back in for another 20 minutes (absorbed the flavors quite nicely) then and added the beans and some frozen sweet corn. I liked the sweet corn because it gave it a huge complimentary burst of sweet when you bit into a kernel. I also used salsa verde instead of straight tomatillos, and I would do that again, gives it just enough "kick". I added some cilantro, but I don't think I'd do it again. Not that it was bad, but I think it just overwhelmed all of the other flavors which were perfect on their own. Great easy and super HEALTHY recipe! 10 stars just for the latter!

VERY GOOD!!!! I was hoping for something a little richer on the pumpkin flavor, however I was not disappointed in the least by this bread. I cut the oil in half and then just added extra water since i didn't have any applesauce, but it turned out so moist and delicious anyways that I'm tempted to realllyyyy cut the oil down next time and maybe add more pumpkin to compensate. So good though. Hard to eat just one piece!!! My mother in law is starting to wonder how all my "first tries" turn out better than all of her tried and true recipes, hee hee hee, I love this website.

This is my first shot at tortilla soup, but it couldn't have been any easier!!! Like others I used another can of chicken broth in place of water, and added a can of drained black beans. Personally, I think I'd add another can of beans, whatever kind. I was a little confused which kind of enchilada sauce to use (red or green) so I used red, but next time I think I'll try green... or maybe both! I'd also add more cilantro, but really, on it's own this is a GREAT recipe!!! I am loving it!

A great recipe! I used olive oil and marsala cooking wine, but I left everything else the same. Next time, I'll definitely add some salt and pepper before I bake them, though. A few tips on stuffing the potatoes: Cut them about 3/4 of the way through, and slide a thin butter knife into the cuts and turn it slightly sideways so it holds the potato open.

A masterpiece! Very simple to make, and came out of the oven looking beautiful, and smelling great; and the taste was magnificent! I saved about 1 Tbsp of the sugar-cinnamon mixture and sprinkled it on the top before baking.

I didn't like this much at all. My husband thought they were ok but they taste more like ham hock & beans that Mexican beans. I put in bacon, onion, garlic, tomatoes and chopped jalapeno along with the serano peppers. It wasn't terribly flavorful and not remotely spicy, even with all of that. Also I don't think the beans should cook so long, mine began to fall apart. I wonder if they lost some of their flavor from cooking so long.

This turned out awesome! After reading other reviews I made a few adjustments. First off, people complained that it was too "oniony" so I only used half a walla onion and 3 green onions. People also complained that it was too sweet so I didn't use the entire 1/2 cup sugar, more like 1/3 cup, maybe a tad bit more. I also used two tsp cornstarch and let it cool COMPLETELY before I added the mayo. I used 10 red potatoes instead of russet ones. I also added 4 slices cooked chopped bacon when tossing potatoes with celery and onions. I then added 1/2 cup sweet relish to the dressing before tossing with potatoes. With these modifications this potato salad is to die for! I brought it to a family party and it was gone in a flash. I got told that I was now the new potato salad maker for all get togethers:)THANX FOR THIS RECIPE!!!

Loved this recipe and it turned out so cute but when i covered them and took them to work the cookies soaked up the moisture of the cupcakes and they became soft an all the tombstones broke and fell over! I don't know if you can just not cover them or if you should just not put the cookies in until day you are going to serve them. That is the only reason I give this only 3 stars.

This recipe was great, but needed a couple of changes. I added about a 1/4 lb of hamburger to bacon mixture and that turned out well, also gave me more shells to fill. With the shells, I would cook them for atleast 10 min instead of eight. They weren't all the way done and after baking they were hard on the edges. Also I wasn't too big of a fan of the tomato puree. Not too much flavor. I think next time I will just use ragu or prego sauce of my choice for extra flavor. Overall this recipe was pretty good!
