Buttermilk Pancakes II

Reviewed on May 12, 2008 by OLYBROWNS
Absoultey delicious. Makes a very big batch....too much for my family of four (2 kids - 2 adults). WIll cut the batter in 1/2 next time. This recipe is just what I was looking for. I might try macadamia and bananans mushed up next time and try some cocount syrup to remind me of breakfast in Maui. YUM!

Pavlova's Pavlova

Reviewed on May 11, 2008 by chellebelle
I made this topped with whipped cream and strawberries for a Mother's Day dessert and the plate was scraped clean! It is a perfect light dessert. I've never had Pavlova before, only the crisp-all the-way-through type of meringue, so I'm only guessing that it turned out correctly. It was crisply dry on the outside with a marshmallowy soft center. I made some temperature adjustments for my convection oven and once the Pavlova was done, I just turned the oven off and left it in the oven until completely cool. I followed a comment on another Pavlova recipe by that said to only slightly sweeten the whipped cream for topping the dessert. The sweet of the meringue and the tart of the fruit and the barely sweetened cream are in balance that way.

Chicken Enchiladas V

Reviewed on May 9, 2008 by QUIKSANDY
This was very good and easy to make. I didn't add the can of green chile peppers because I didn't have them. But I used Campbell's Southwestern Style Pepper Jack soup and instead of cream of chicken soup and it added some extra flavor and heat to make up for it. I also followed what others suggested and used taco seasonings (doubled the amount) instead of chili powder and corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas. It turned out very good. I would definitely make this again.
