Bacon Scalloped Potatoes

Reviewed: May 22, 2011

My hubby called these the best scalloped potatoes I have ever made! Everyone loved them, even the son-in-law. I used Yukon Gold potatoes and about half cream instead of all milk (had already purchased before choosing recipe). I don't like onions so I sprinkled some onion powder instead. Used about 8 oz. cheese between the layers for 8 servings and sprinkled pre-cooked bacon pieces on each layer rather than only on top. The shining star in this recipe, though, is the white sauce. Absolutely makes it. Perfect quantity once I moved the potatoes around a bit so it could flow amongst them. Try this recipe. You won't regret it.

Chocolate Mint Brownies

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2011

When you change to the mint extract, you need to make up the difference in the liquid. I added probably about a teaspoon of milk. My rating is for the toppings only as I used my family's brownie recipe. Word of warning-the box brownies I have made in the past have had a flaky top on them and the mint creme might pull that up. If that bothers you, make the recipe from scratch or add even more milk than I did.

Zippy Summer Shrimp

Reviewed: Jun. 29, 2010

Loved this. Only adaptation was dried basil instead of fresh. Well, and I didn't measure the olive oil. Served with a rice dish, which absorbed the sauce nicely.

Cauliflower and Broccoli Bake

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2009

Very tasty. Just a little salty, but not sure how to judge salt and pepper to taste before the cheese is added

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies II

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2009

Absolutely wonderful! The only change I made was to add about 2/3 bag of Mint Chocolate Chips. Everyone raved about them.

Slow Cooked Corned Beef for Sandwiches

Reviewed: Mar. 21, 2009

Used all the rest of the ingredients but only used one roast, because it was just my husband and I. Delish. Daughter #1 loved it. Daughter #2 gave up meat for lent but was thinking of backsliding for this dish.

Cranberry-Hazelnut Coffee Cake

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2005

Very nice coffee cake. Wasn't able to have any warm, which I believe is the best way to enjoy coffee cake, but this one sustained me all week for breakfasts. Great for eating in the car, as there were very few crumbs.

Artichoke Bruschetta

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2005

Delicious appetizer. I skipped the onion-used onion powder instead-cut down on the mayo-about 2.5 T.-and it turned out delish!

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2005

Wonderful! I served this to the extended family, and it was a huge hit. I have been eating the leftovers-only in existance because I doubled the recipe-all week.

Scotch Broth I

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2005

This ended up very tasty, with only a few changes. I put in a little boullion when it ended up being very bland. I think that if the bones were roasted as I have seen in other recipes, it would have worked more to my taste. Perhaps Scotch Broth is supposed to be bland? But the basic soup was delicious!

Hot Fudge Ice Cream Bar Dessert

Reviewed: Aug. 5, 2005

I recommend using hot fudge sauce instead of the Hersheys and peanut butter. Tried it this time with caramel sauce and pecans. Heavenly!

Broccoli and Four Cheese Calzones

Reviewed: May 19, 2004

The crust is great on these, but the filling was a little bland. Will make it again but with spinach instead of the broccoli, and more garlic.

Basil Parmesan Spread

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2002

I took this to an adults only party, and gave out the recipe to four different people-went over tremendously well. My daughters also loved it, but it may be too flavorful for less adventurous palates. Cleaning the basil was the most time consuming part, although it made my kitchen smell wonderful! Only problem was that I didn't know how smooth to process it to. I put this into a Corelle bowl-not a large vegetable bowl, and not the small salad bowl-I think they call it a cereal bowl.

Fourteen Layer Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2001

This recipe is not for the faint-hearted. Fourteen layers is a lot to cook. I used 1/2 cup batter in each layer. It also took longer to finish than indicate, but that doesn't mean that it is bad. I may well make this one again when I have someone to impress. Tastes good.

Caramel Crispy Treats II

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2001

Cheryl was exactly right! I had to go home and get the recipe to hand it out! My 15 year old made it for me, so obviously it is kid-friendly.

Cranberry Crunch Squares

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2000

I took these camping-surely with all that oatmeal goodness they are like granola! Everyone raved! They did need a little more time baking, though, maybe another 7 minutes.

Broccoli Potato Bake

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2000

This dish went over very well at Easter dinner with everyone who was willing to try something new. The rest just missed a great taste. I have shared out this recipe with a few people already!
