Green Bean and Potato Casserole

Reviewed on Jul. 9, 2009 by mrs.chlarson 
The husband loved it, so did I...and our kid ate it because we made him. I only used half of the cheese because it's all I had, but now I can't imagine having used a whole pound. It's super greasy, but delicious. For the heck of it, I added a little extra cheese on top with some crumbled crispy bacon. I'm sure the leftovers won't last long. I might even put bread crumbs on top next time like another user had done.

Big Guy Strawberry Pie

Reviewed on Jun. 29, 2009 by chellebelle 
Delicious filling. I didn't make the crust, I just made a regular pie crust instead. The filling is great because the Jello gives the filling an extra strawberry kick. The amount of cornstarch is just right so the filling isn't soupy, yet it's not rubbery-firm either. The only modification I made was to add a tablespoon of lemon juice for some contrast to the sweetness. This is my go-to recipe, it's so easy (especially if you use a pre-made pie crust).

Baking Powder Drop Biscuits

Reviewed on Jun. 25, 2009 by Chandell 
This recipe does the job! I wanted a drop biscuit with no buttermilk, and this is it! Be careful with the salt, be sure not to add more than the recipe calls for. I like my strawberry shortcake biscuits slightly salty, so I added a bit more than called for, and that turned out to be a mistake. It's already slightly salty, no worries! I make this with butter, and they turn out terrific! For Shortcake usage, I also double the amt of sugar, and add a touch of vanilla with red sanding sugar over the tops. Heaven!
