Absolutely wonderful! I did end up changing some things for my tastes. I ended up using 3 peeled butter potatoes instead of celery, vegetable stock instead of water to boil the chicken/veggies, and I accidentally put the onions in with this mixture. I did use butter and more onion as suggested for the sauce but removed the onions (and butter with it unavoidably) to try add a little onion flavor to the sauce since I threw them in with the chicken originally. I did add 1/2tsp of garlic powder, too. I used Pillsbury ready made pie crusts and 99% fat free chicken breasts, cut in half and then into cubes/rectangles. My boyfriend loved the fact that this was the first pot pie he had eaten that didn't have slimey or gross chicken in it and claimed it was the best pot pie he's ever had. Everyone in my family adored this dish as well- including my brother who won't touch anything with onions in it. Definitely a keeper, easily modifiable to your needs, and beyond delicious!

Saltine Toffee

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2009

I didn't follow the ingredients exactly so that could be my problem. As a reviewer had suggested I used 1/2c brown and 1/2c white sugar. I omited the white chocolate/shortening drizzle. Otherwise, I did follow the recipe as written and my toffee was a bit soft and granular. I'm sure the fault is with me and most likely my cooking times and temperatures. The flavor was still enjoyed so could I perfect the cooking of the toffee mix I'm sure this would be an inticipated treat with my family.

Microwave Pralines

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009

This recipe is delicious! I can never remember exactly how I made it the time before (did I stir it? Did I cook it the suggested time?) but regardless the flavor is always there. Not one batch has come out the same: some are crystalline, some spread out, etc. but they are always gobbled up without complaint. So while I can't give pointers on how to make it the recipe well, I can say it will be scrumptious!

Jalapeno Popper Spread

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009

Absolutely delicious! I've never had jalapeno poppers but this was fantastic. I did mix the parmesan with bread crumbs as suggested by some. As I was preparing the dip, I taste tested and could not find any flvor or heat. As a reult I added a second can of green chiles and the majority of my 7oz can of jalapenos. Go figure, the baking is what brings out the flavor and heat. My dip was extremely spicey! I didn't receive complaints but it did catch someone off guard who had a big mouthful for the first bite. However, the dip was devoured. I'd add just a scoop few jalapenos next time but I'd definitely add more than the recipe calls for. This is a keeper and will be made many more times!

Gluten Free Ginger-Honey Crunch

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009

Very yummy! Hard to evenly distribute the brown sugar mixture- some chex ended up with clumps on them. Stirring while in the oven did help more evenly distribute than stirring before baking did, however. Regardless, the taste was fantastic.

Bread Pudding II

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2008

I had never had bread pudding before I made this. This was fantastic! Absolutely delectable. Those that tried it, and had had bread pudding before said this was perfect. I used 7 slices of fresh, slightly toasted bread, a 9in, round pie dish, and 4 eggs. I also added 1/4c of brown sugar. I didn't eat it with sauce but my mom used a sauce from a maple butter blondie recipe from this site, added whipped cream, and said it was exactly like the dish she gets at a restaurant. So wonderful! Thank you **Update: I've made this with gluten free bread and it was just as tasty! It may need to be cooked a bit longer than called for if you prefer a firmer pudding, however.

Pumpkin Cake III

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008

Absolutely fantastic! I only made the apple sauce modification mentioned by the other reviewers. This was unbelievably moist and so delicious. I used the cream cheese frosting II recipe and it was perfect for this cake. I would say the walnuts are a necessity.

Scarlett's Best Ever Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2008

These cookies were a huge hit- but do not expect tradition sugar cookies. They were much more like a pecan sandie, in flavor and in texture. They were delicious and I made no changes to the recipe, with the exception of excluding any decoration.
