Hong Kong Style Egg Tarts

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2012

While the cookie base would make a great cookie, it is most definitely NOT great for the crust of an egg tart. The egg custard center is anything but. I was looking for smooth and velvety custard, but this recipe (followed to a T) resulted in scrambled egg tasting custard that was clumpy when cut into. I will search elsewhere for a truely authentic egg tart recipe.

Amish White Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2011

This is phenominal. I made my first loaf of white bread Sunday using another recipe and it was okay. I made my second and third loaves of bread yesterday (whole wheat) and they were okay too. I made this recipe today (using my Bosch stand mixer) and it is so delicious - we ate half of one loaf already. If you have not made this yet, you must! Thanks for a great recipe.

Sweet Potato Pie I

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2011

First time eating and preparing a sweet potato pie. I do not have anything to compare it to but it was delish! I took other reviewers suggestions and added 2 tsp fresh lemon juice, 3tbs flour to thicken, 1/2c brown sugar, 1/2c white sugar and substituted evaporated milk for milk. I used 3 large sweet potatoes and it was the perfect amount. I also found the potatoes to be very "stringy" so I pushed them through a mesh strainer before combining with the other ingredients. Even my 10 year old son loved this pie - will make again. Thanks for a great recipe.

Fudgy Brownies I

Reviewed: May 29, 2011

This is NOT a fudgy brownie recipe, nor did it taste anything like a brownie. I would say at best the texture is a cross between cake like and fudgy - with it being more cake like than anything. I left out the baking soda and cooked it for less time and they still came out the way I did NOT want them too. My quest continues for a fudgy brownie recipe. :o(

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: May 26, 2011

This was my first attempt at homemade blueberry muffins. They came out wonderful! They are moist and delicious- just perfect. The only thing I changed was brown sugar instead of white for the crumb topping. Will be using this recipe in the future for chocolate chip muffins. Thanks for the great recipe!

Campbell's® Green Bean Casserole

Reviewed: May 20, 2011

Great basic green bean casserole recipe. You can do so many things with this - add cheese, fresh mushrooms, fresh green beans and the list goes on and on. We love this recipe with extra french fried onions and french cut green beans.

Connie's Zucchini "Crab" Cakes

Reviewed: May 20, 2011

Eh not bad will have to tweak the recipe a bit. There was too much breading to this recipe and it tasted more like a stuffing than a "crab" cake.

Roast Sticky Chicken-Rotisserie Style

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2011

WOWZERS! Awesome recipe. My chicken came out moist and juicy - everyone raved about it! I did find it to be a tad on the salty side, so I will cut back on it next time. No more store bought roasters for us, I will use this recipe from now on. Thanks a lot!

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2011

Never had brussels sprouts until I discovered this recipe. Not a bad first taste to a vegetable that has such a negative stigma attached to it. Roasting is definitely the way to go.

Lemon-Butter Snow Peas

Peas were nice and crisp but this was much too tart for us. Might make again in the future with a few changes.

Sweet Restaurant Slaw

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2011

Awesome 'slaw! This was my first time attempting to make coleslaw and it came out great. It was good the night I made it and even better the next day. I ran out of onions so I used onion powder instead, mayo instead of miracle whip, olive oil instead of vegetable oil, triple the vinegar, 1/3 c sugar and omitted poppy seeds. My ten year old who hates coleslaw ate two helpings - definitely a keeper! Thank you!

Perfect Pumpkin Pie

Fool proof recipe. You can't screw this one up! This has been the same recipe used in our family since I was a kid. We change up the spice mixture to our liking. Delish! Don't forget the whipped cream!

Split Pea and Ham Soup I

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2011

Great recipe. I made this a couple of times soaking and not soaking the peas. I will always soak the beans overnight from now on. The soup tasted so much better.
