This is absolutely the best!! One hint.. sweet potatoes have alot of natural sugars so if you roast them at 450 for 40+ minutes they will become very soft; the outside dark and be very sweet. If you use a potato ricer it removes all of the strings and then taste prior to adding any sugar. The 1/4 - 1/2 c. depending on the quantity of potatoes will be plenty. ENJOY! I promise they will come back for seconds.

Easy Key Lime Cheesecake

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2009

I began with the original recipe and simply adjusted ingredients to create enough for a 9x13 pan and added cream cheese. I did use regular lime juice rather than key lime juice and added a small amount of lemon juice to adjust the flavor note. It was delicious and fed my crowd.

Grandmother's Famous Cranberry Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2008

I have been looking for a dense and intensely cranberry bread reminiscent of one my mom made. I doubled the flour; sugar; butter; juice and zest and eggs; coarsely chopped a bag of fresh cranberries. I filled a 4 loaf stoneware pan sprayed with Pam 3/4 full and had great results. The texture turned out great and the taste is wonderful. It will make a great gift as it holds together well and slices beautifully.

Sweet Party Mix

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2008

This is a great recipe. I didn't have dark corn syrup so I used light corn syrup;decreased the amount by 1/2 cup; increased the brown sugar by 1/2 cup and it turned out wonderfully. I also added candy corn and halloween colored M&M's to trick it out for the holiday. Yummy!!

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2007

Very good recipe.Everyone enjoyed it. One suggestion is to fold in a bag of butterscotch chips right before baking. It really takes it over the top and adds a yummy buttery taste. :)

Slow Cooker Italian Beef for Sandwiches

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2006

It was excellent but instead of a crockpot, I used a roasting pan. I heated some olive oil, rubbed the meat with salt and pepper seared the meat in the hot oil and then browned 2 large onions in the same pan then poured the seasoning over the meat and covered in foil. I cooked it for 2 1/2 - 3 hours then shredded and stirred in all of the juices and onions together. Delicious. My family could not wait; they ate it straight out of the pan
