Cheesecake Cookie Cups

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009

These are easy to make and look exactly like the photo. I used Neufchatel cheese and fat free condensed milk to cut down the lipids, and they turned out just fine. My only complaint is that the part of the cookie that meets the cheesecake is a little bit soggy. Even that was minimal, so these are worth a taste.

Cheese Ball I

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009

Great cheese ball recipe- it was a huge hit with my family. The only things that I did different was to replace the parmesan with monterey jack cheese (dad hates the stinky cheese) and add some minced red peppers for color and some added crunch. I also added some more of the spices until I was happy with the flavor and let it all sit in the fridge overnight, which I think made it all the better. Can't wait until Christmas to serve it again!

Too Much Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2009

SUPER cake recipe! Here are the things that I did different: I used a 3.9oz pkg of instant pudding as that is all I had; I added 1 tsp. of vanilla extract and I subbed the water out for Kahlua! I heated the slices up and served them with vanilla ice cream and fudge sauce- YUUUMMMMYYYY!! Once it was all heated up and served that way, it tasted a lot like the Molten Chocolate Cake that Chilis serves. I'm thinking of adding peppermint extract and peppermint schnapps for a holiday version-we'll see how that turns out!

Pumpkin Roll Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009

I didn't care for this recipe; it was more trouble than it was worth. The cake cracked in spite of the precautions other reviewers have mentioned and the flavor was somewhat bland.

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2009

Loved this cookie recipe! I really think that having an egg yolk instead of a whole egg is the trick to this recipe, as egg whites tend to dry dough out. My cookies turned out great, except that they became less chewy as the hours went on and the next day they were crispy. I think that I just need to store them in a better container next time, as my Tupperware container didn't keep them chewy enough.

Applesauce-Oat Muffins

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009

These are a great recipe to use ingredients already in the kitchen. The inside is soft and moist, but the edges that touched the muffin pan were a bit chewy. I agree with other reviewers that extra cinnamon and a little nutmeg are nice additions.

Molly's Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009

This is the only way I will make drumsticks in the slow cooker now. I followed the suggestion of others and dredged my chicken in flour with salt and peper. I also added half an onion, sliced and also a can of Diced tomotaoes and green chilies for some texture. I cooked on high for 4 hours then like an hour on low and it was soooo good!! I took the leftover meat off the bone and the next day ate the meat and sauce mixture over rice. I am trying this recipe tonight with chicken brest to try to save that step next time. Best use of Chicken Drumsticks!!!

Slow-Cooked White Chili

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2009

This is a decent base recipe, but like others I found it lacking in spice. I tried adding more cumin and some cayenne, but it was still pretty bland. I'm not sure what it was missing, but it definitely needed some more pep. No arguing with the ease of the crock pot, though.

Easy Key Lime Pie I

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2009

Five stars are not enough! I brought this pie to a block party and wrote the recipe down over and over. I followed everyone's advice and used 2 cans of condensed milk, a cup of lime juice, and four egg yolks. I also used a regular pie shell instead of a graham cracker crust, and it was fantastic. The texture and tang were amazing! Seriously great pie.

Vanilla Ice Cream VIII

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2009

Although easy to make, I have to agree with other reviewers that this recipe yields more of a vanilla slush than ice cream. Leftovers will also freeze into a solid lump of ice.

Jalapeno Popper Spread

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2009

I used this recipe for a pot luck and everyone ate it up! I the only changes I made were to double the chilies, add a small amount of Mexican blended cheese (2 oz. or so), and top it off with bread crumbs before I baked it. Next time I think I will try some of the other reviewers suggestion and sub 1/2 the mayo for sour cream. I will be making this again.

I was expecting more from this recipe and was disappointed that I didn't get it :( I ended up having to add a lot of red pepper flakes, more italian seasoning and some red wine to balance the flavors out.

Red Cabbage Salad II

This is a very good recipe! The only thing that I changed was to add more salt, pepper and vinegar, given that I didn't think that there was enough of those ingredients. It also got better as it sat in the fridge and melded flavors :)

Watermelon and Strawberry Lemonade

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2009

LOVED this recipe! I took the advice of another reviewer and froze my watermelon chunks and added less ice for a more concentrated watermelon flavor. I also added some blueberries that I wanted to get rid of and they gave the drink a little extra color and flavor as well :) Great stuff on a hot day!
