Quick and Almost-Professional Buttercream Icing

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2012

THE BEST!!!! I've never liked buttercream frosting because it's usually too sweet and greasy tasting for me, but this is absolutely MARVELOUS! Not too sweet, delicate flavor, and light. This is now my recipe to cover all upcoming birthday cakes. No more canned frosting for me. There is no comparison between the two.

White Almond Wedding Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2012

This is the most wonderful cake! It is so moist. I made this for my daughter's 2nd birthday cake, and will make it for many more birthday cakes in the future! With a recipe like this, I may expand myself to make cakes even outside of birthdays. Yum, yum!

Whole Wheat Bread III

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2012

Delicious! I prefer to bake in oven, so I did dough cycle on breadmaker, baked oblong freeform loaf at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. So moist, chewy, and satisfying. I didn't add the 2 Tbsp. sugar, and it was still sweet enough.

Ultimate Twice Baked Potatoes

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2012

YUM! My 4 yr old asked for 3rds! I love it. After scooping the potato whites out, I baked the skins 5 minutes on their own, just to strengthen them, and also used a ziplock baggie with a clipped corner to stuff the skins. Much easier that way. Great finger food for the football game, or for dinner.

Bread Machine Challah II

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2012

Delightful! I love the touch of honey. I have made quite a few different challah recipes over the years for our Friday night meal, and this one is scrumptious, and so easy to make!

Pizza Dough I

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2012

QUICK! EASY! My favorite recipe for when we want pizza - FAST. I sometimes toss together all the toppings, combine with pizza sauce, spread on crust, sprinkle with cheeses, and faster than you know it, the pizza's in the oven. Not the prettiest, but pretty darn quick!

Tomato Barley Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2011

I love it! The barley gives it such a great texture, and all the veges make it so hearty. I didn't have any fresh tomatoes, so I just used an extra can of diced tomatoes.

Fabulous hot or cold! I use canned Italian tomatoes in place of fresh tomatoes.

Herbed Macaroni and Cheese

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2011

Keeper! Family loves flavor, and per hubby "it's not a pile of goo like most mac-n-cheese." Sour cream (I actually used plain yogurt) really rounded out the flavor. Also added hot dogs. Mm!! FYI-7 oz. is about a scant 2 cups elbow macaroni that comes in a bag (little bigger sized pasta than boxed macaroni meal).

Cheryl's Spinach Cheesy Pasta Casserole

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2011

We all love it! 12 oz. = around 3 c. dry shell pasta (I actually use 4 c.). I substituted 1 can diced italian tomatoes for the 1/2 jar spaghetti sauce, used italian seasoned bread crumbs, only cheddar for the cheese, and was in a rush and tossed everything together using 1/2 of the cheese rather than layering it, sprinkled with parmesan, baked covered, and then uncovered and added remaining cheese for the last 5 min., and it was absolutely scrumptious! I later made it layered, and really prefer it all tossed together. This is my new "weeknight lasagne"! It will be a regular on our weekly menu, and a quick yummy meal all will love when having guests over. For those who say this recipe is bland, a thing to remember is that it can only be as good as the spaghetti sauce that you use, so don't skimp on the quality of sauce. Thank you Cheryl for the recipe!
