Easy OREO Truffles

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2010

Very good but rich. Used magic bullet to chop up Oreo's. After making into balls, stuck in freezer for 2 hours before dipping in chocolate.

These wings are amazing. We do everything as is written except we add Tabasco sauce to the vinegar and hot pepper sauce. For the hot pepper sauce we use Frank's Red Hot Wings Buffalo sauce. We do let them simmer for about 10 mins. We like our wings with some zing. Dip these in ranch dressing and enjoy with a frosty beer.

Italian Pinwheel Rolls

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2010

Just made these tonight for supper and they were delicious. Followed the direction exactly as written except I brushed them with butter after 20 mins and than baked them and additional 5 mins. They turned out a beautiful golden color and tasted amazing. Husband and 6 year old daughter both said they will request these again.

New York Cheesecake II

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2010

I love cheesecakes and enjoy baking them. I've baked a few in my day but my problem was all tasted good but all of them cracked not matter what I did. I decided to give this one a try after reading reviews of women who said to bake at 400 degrees for 10 mins, than turn oven down to 200 degrees for 45 mins, and than without opening the dor to oven shut the oven off and leave in oven for a couple hours. I did this and for once I had a cheesecake that looked beautifull without a crack and tasted amazing. I drizzled caramel and chocolate over the top with a glass of cabernet wine, and thought I died and gone to heaven. Everyone said this was the best cheesecake yet. Baking it slow is the key to no cracks. No water bath needed for this cheesecake.

Banana Sour Cream Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2009

Very good recipe. First time I used the cinn/sugar mixture as a coating and I really liked that idea. I used 3 9x5 loaf pans and baked them for 1hr 5 mins and they turned out beautifully. These were gifts so I didn't put the walnuts. When I make this for myself and family, I will definetely use the nuts.

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2009

I would give these 10 starts if I could. Just made these for the first time and AMAZING is all I have to say. My 5 year daughter and husband can't keep their hands off of them already. Husband poured himself a glass of milk to go with them. Do freeze the peanut butter cups before putting in cookies and than put outside to cook off. We live in Nebraska and it's 11 degrees out so it works better than the freezer. If you screw this recipe up, you shouldn't be in the kitchen.

Spintz Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2009

Made this for my Dad's 65th Birthday. He loved it. Followed the directions exactly and the cake came out perfect. My almost 5 year old usually never eats the frosting off of anything but this, she only ate the frosting. She did try a bit of the cake, but loved the frosting. I could see how some people would think the filling and frosting is to thick. I didn't mind as I hate frostings and fillings that are too runny. Will definitely make again. Amazing with vanilla ice cream.

Frog Cupcakes

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2008

I just made these for my 4 year old daughters preschool class. Cute idea, but my problem was getting the marshmellows to say on. Next time I will use the green icing as glue when putting them on. The icing on the cupcake alone didn't hold some very well. This is not a project for little kids to help with. Pretty much to wrap it up, as these are very cute but a major pain in the rear. But us moms do anything for our kids.

Apple Crisp II

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2008

I am a farmwife so I decided to try this recipe after reading the reviews. I took the suggestion of other reviews and doubled the crust recipe and I had read were some people either used no water or 1/4 cup of water. I replaced the water with 1/4 cup of rum sprinkled over the apples then put the crust on top. The rum in it was good. Then I took out some Whipped Cream to put on top of the apple crisp and than drizzled some caramel topping over all of it. The guys said the only thing they would have liked better was ice cream instead of whipped cream but ice cream is hard to take out to the field.
