Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2009

I followed this recipe exactly except that I didn't have buttermilk. So I used the "acceptable" substitute (Put 1 Tbsp White Vinegar in a measuring cup, then fill to 1 cup with milk and let sit for 5 minutes). It worked perfectly and this corn bread is wonderful. It's moist, not crumbly, and has the perfect combination of sweetness without being too sweet. I couldn't even wait for dinner. I'm eating this all by itself with butter and it's delish! Thanks for a wonderful keeper.

Caramel Pecan Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2009

These are so yummy. My new favorite cookie! Super easy to make and would be great to do if you had a little one who likes to help bake! I used Caramel Hershey's Kisses and they turned out very moist and gooey in the middle. The hardest part was making sure my hubby didn't eat them all before they got to their intended destination.

Swiss Chicken Casserole I

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2009

I love this recipe and so does my hubby. I use canned chicken and make my own crumb topping with soda crackers, italian seasoning and butter. Like others said it's also very good with provolone. Since I'm using chicken pieces instead of breast, I just smother it in cheese since that is what we like. Very good and easy!

I love pumpkin and this soup is delicious. It is creamy and smooth and the croutons make this soup perfect for a chilly autumn day or night!

Magic Cookie Bars I

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2009

Just made this tonight and my husband has half the tray gone. I used crushed Vanilla Wafers since I didn't have graham crackers and the flavor was the same. I also used an 9x11 pan and they came out a bit dense but still very delicious. Great easy recipe!

Red Velvet Cake III

Reviewed: Aug. 20, 2009

I am not from the south, nor am I an expert on what a Red Velvet Cake is supposed to take like. My only experience with Red Velvet Cake is one lushious experience at the Claim Jumper Restaurant which prompted me to look for a recipe. I am an expert at knowing a delicious dessert when I taste one and this one is amazing! I added 4 Tbsp Cocoa as other reviewers suggested and 1 tsp vanilla extract. This was absolutely delicious. I did not use the frosting. Instead I made my own cream cheese frosting (1-8oz Cream Cheese, 1 stick margarine, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla). I made this for the office as cupcakes and also for my mother in law's birthday. Everyone raved about this and several wanted more than I had. I plan on making this for my niece's baby shower this weekend and can't wait to devour again. Thanks so much for a really easy amazing recipe.

Famous Pork Chops

Reviewed: Aug. 6, 2009

I followed the recipe measurements exactly. The only thing I did different was to add the garlic salt and pepper directly onto the chop before I dipped them in the egg. That way, the pork chops would be sure to get lots of seasoning. I used Ritz crackers and I did turn them over once after about 30 minutes, then uncovered for the last 15-20 minutes. These had a delicious flavor. My husband raved about this dish and couldn't believe how savory it was. My dogs feasted on the bones too. It was all good in our household. Thanks for a great recipe.

Chicken Long Rice Soup

This was super easy and very delicious, one of the best I've tried. I used Chicken Breast instead of thighs because I hate dark meat, but it was still wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

I made a special trip to the store to make sure I had the exact ingredients. By the time I got home it was too late to use the slow cooker, so I tossed it all in a pot. I had leftover roast chicken. This was THE best chicken tortilla soup I've had. I'ts so easy too. Thanks!

Cream of Tomato Gorgonzola Soup

Reviewed: May 23, 2009

Loved this! I'm going to have a hard time going back to plain ol tomato soup, espcially because this was so easy to make. I had all the ingredients on hand, served it with grilled provolone sandwiches. I had half an onion on hand so I chopped that up with the garlic and sauteed them in a little butter, then added them to the soup. The flavor was fantastic!

Cherry Fluff

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2009

This recipe is fantastic! For those of you who don't like cherries- you will probably like this! My family is not a big fan of cherry pie, but they love this recipe. What I add to this is a can of mandarine oranges. Yum! I don't add nuts or coconut if I'm taking it to a get together because so many people son't like them but if I'm at home, I add lots! Very versatile recipe. I can't wait to try it with blackberry pie filling like someone else suggested- that could definately be a favorite!

Granny Cake I

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2009

I made this cake for a family get together and it got great raves from the kids as well as the adults. I doubled the recipe, thankfully, because the hostess couldn't wait to have the leftovers for breakfast! I used the condensed milk over the top as others had suggested. I think this cake would be good with either milk. It would probably be good without either one, too, for those of you wathing your weight. I added some cinnamon chips to this cake batter to give it a little pizzaz- good choice! This cake doesn't have a strong pineapple taste, which I liked. Overall it was just a yummy coffee cake great for a get together. I think I will try this next time with strawberries and whipped cream! And maybe I will replace the white sugar with brown. This is a very versatile recipe- the combinations are endless!

Southern as You Can Get Collard Greens

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2009

I'm a Chinese/Hawaiian girl married to an African American and I never tasted greens till I met him. I've been looking for a recipe to surprise him with because he's always saying how he misses greens. So I made this recipe and only changed a few things based on others reviews. I use 1 lb of greens (not 1 bunch), a pince of red pepper flakes, 1 lg onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 6 slices of bacon (fried and cut up), and 3 tbsp of Liquid Smoke. I also put the ham hock overnight in the slow cooker to make it tender and then used the liquid as the "water" for the recipe. My husband couldn't believe this was my first try and loved it. He said it was right up there with his mom's greens (and she's a good ol' girl from Alabama). I was thrilled and will continue to use this often. It was soooo easy.

Absolute Mexican Cornbread

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2009

I substituted the last 4 ingredients for 2 boxes of Jiffy Corn Bread Mix. I also substituted the cheese with Jalapena Jack Cheese. I made this for a Mexican themed Game Night and it was huge it. It was more like a sweet corn cake (like you get at El Toritos, but more moist) and we all loved it. It didn't seem oily to me, just wonderfully buttery. But I also like Paula Dean so I'm big on skimping when it comes to butter baby!

Churros

Good home-made churro recipe! I used a ziploc bag to pipe the churros out and made them thinner than the ones sold at restaurants. Then, I cooked them until they were golden brown and rolled them in the cinnamon sugar on a small paper plate. They came out perfect!

Lamb Chops with Balsamic Reduction

Reviewed: Feb. 22, 2009

Wow! My husband made this for us tonight. Although instead of shallots he added the zest of one lemon, and 2 cloves of garlic, and added that to the seasonings, and made it all into a paste with the olive oil. Spread it onto the chops and seared them. Absolutely wonderful, the sauce went well over brown rice also. Will make this a regular for lamb.

Easy Beer Bread Mix

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2009

I liked the idea of giving this as a gift, so without ever trying it, I made 4 batches, I put 3 of them in quart jars, tied some ribbons with hearts on them around the tops and gave one to each of our grown kids for Valentines day. I made one loaf for my husband and I and we loved it. All the kids said it was some of the best home made bread they've had. I didn't have any italian seasoning, so I used Emeril's recipe that he calls "Bam" Wow! It really did kick it up a notch to borrow from Emeril. The butter is a must. My second loaf is in the oven now, thank you!

Grandma's Applesauce Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2009

Delicious! If this is what they ate during the great depression, the great depression was not as bad as they say! I was out of raisins so I used dried cherries, I chopped them first. How delicious! One thing I made a little mistake on, was the cake looked nice and golden brown, so I didn't test the center,and it was a little under done in the center. Another 10 minutes would have done the trick, it's a wonderfully moist cake, but it may need a little more time.
