Pineapple Upside-Down Cake in a Glass

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2012

This sounds like a good drink for this summer on the boat! I can't wait to try it, but I've never seen "cake-flavored Vodka". I'll look for it!

Honey Roasted Carrots

Reviewed: Mar. 7, 2012

I thought these were very good. I did cut the carrots in chunks and just eyeballed the olive oil and honey. Added a little salt and pepper. The were done in about 30 minutes. My husband even liked them - and he's Mr. Plain when it comes to food - strictly plain!

As far as anything you're baking with raisins, push the raisins down with your finger and they won't burn.

Cabbage Rolls II

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2011

If you're making Polish cabbage rolls (galumki), leave out the onion, add some sauce to the meat/rice mixture before rolling up and bake covered for at least 1-1/2 hours at 350. The cabbage is cored and boiled (add a little cider vinegar to the water). The sauce I use is 2 cans each of tomato soup and stewed tomatoes (chop them up) and bring to a boil, pour over rolls before baking. The sauce is sweet, not savory. Very good "piggies"! Leftover (small) cabbage leaves can be chopped up and fried in butter, then add cooked noodles, S&P (haluski or halupki).

Italian Bread Using a Bread Machine

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2011

There's something missing with this recipe. When you cover with a damp cloth, the cloth WILL stick. When you carefully try to remove the cloth, the bread WILL deflate. I had to re-knead, re-rise and then bake. Came out kinda flat. That would be okay, but the taste just wasn't all that good. Maybe needs more yeast or something? I don't know. Probably won't make again.

Old-Fashioned Potato Pancakes

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2010

We usually don't add parsley and certainly not that much pepper. Plop in pan and use spoon to spread around and flatten out a bit - should be about 1/4 inch thick. Now....I'm craving them!

Christmas Stars

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2010

I did not make these cookies but wanted to offer a tip on cut-out cookies. Roll them out on parchment (or a cookie sheet), cut them and REMOVE THE EXCESS dough. That way, your cookies will retain the shape because you're not handling them. Remember to make the cuts with enough room between them to bake properly!

Pizzelles II

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2010

The ingredients in this recipe are the same as mine, but I use butter. My recipe came from an elderly Italian woman who made the BEST pizzelles! My instructions say to sift the flour and baking powder....add up to 3/4 c. water to thin, if necessary....batter should be thick, but fluid enough that it will ribbon off a spatula and hold it's shape...bake until steam subsides but doesn't stop. Another instruction is to cool on paper towels...can put in a 200 degree oven to crisp further.....if using anise extract, use a 1 oz. bottle. Oh, and the ingredients say - 2 T. Anisette or 1-1/2 t. Anise oil. I use the oil and often add some anise seeds to it. Always get compliments on my pizzelles!! (and I'm Irish! LOL) This recipe will make about 100 cookies.

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2010

Like many people, I've tried several chocolate chip cookie recipes over the years. In my opinion, these are THE BEST! The butter-flavored Crisco does make the difference and I wouldn't change a thing.

Potato Pancakes II

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2010

We call these "Potato Cakes" and those made with raw grated potatoes are "Potato Pancakes" (like latkes). We add flour to the mashed potatoes and also dredge in flour before frying. We don't add cheese or onions or garlic (never tried that). My friend puts bread crumbs on them (I'm not sure if she also puts it IN them?), but they're good that way too.

Pumpkin Pancakes

I too cheated! I used Krusteaz pancake mix (just add water) and threw in some pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice. Very good!

Jewish Apple Cake from Bubba's Recipe Box

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2010

This is a very good cake! I added about 1-1/4 t. cinnamon and one single-serve container of applesauce + canola oil to make up the c. of oil. Didn't use Rome Beauties, I don't know what kind of apples they were - maybe really large Red Delicious (6 c. chopped) - there was quite a bit of juice from the apples and I drizzled most of that on top before baking. Baked about 1 hr. 40 mins. Lots of dirty bowls from this, but worth it. (Tip: use a LARGE bowl to beat the eggs and sugar) I posted pics.

Shepherd's Pie VI

Reviewed: Sep. 28, 2010

Pretty good! Instead of ground beef, I used 3 steak sandwich steaks (6 oz. each) which had defrosted and needed to be used. I added 1/2 & 1/2 to the mashed potatoes. Did not add a whole onion - used only 1/2 of a small onion. Added 2 T. ketchup and 2 T. worchestire sauce, and instead of the broth, used a brown gravy packet and 1 cup water. Sprinkled frozen peas over coarsely mashed carrot layer. Made in a pie plate, dotted top with some butter. I think using the steak sandwich meat and the gravy was a good change for this dish.

Danish Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2010

Really good cookies. Buttery, light and crisp and delicate. Used regular oatmeal right from the container (did not process) - these are supposed to have flakes of oatmeal in them. Chopped my pecans up pretty small. Easy to mix up with a wooden spoon and probably don't need parchment. Excellent! Give 'em a try!! **** OK, I wanted to make them smaller so I made 1" balls. Def the way to go - makes the shape more uniform too. Didn't dust with powdered sugar. Posted pics. Man oh man, these are delicious! ***This is my third update: I chilled the dough and then rolled into balls. They stay a little puffed up that way and I like them better than flat.

Chicken and Broccoli Braid

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2010

Good - I halved the recipe, pre-cooked the vegetables (omitted the pepper and almonds) and used 1/2 t. dill. I put the garlic through a press. I baked on parchment - didn't stick at all. I'm a little confused about using 2 cans of crescent rolls. Mine was pretty long just using one can.
