I love making this cake! Everyone always likes it! I make it esp. for my hubby and his sis at family get togethers because they are diabetic but everyone else always heads for it first! Sometimes it can lean a little as it is a bit fragile so what I do is...after it's all done, I poke 2 long wooden kabob skewers down through the cake at opposite ends to keep it upright! On the skewer end that is still poking out...I place a strawberry or other fruit to cover it up! I cut slices around the skewered area and save that part for the last slice! Ta-da!!! No more slipping or leaning! Try this cake! It's great and a super presentation! People oh and ah over it and think you took so much time but in reality it's one of the easiest things to make!

Better than Sex Cake IV

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2011

Yum-freakin'-eeee! Best on the site! Use a wooden spoon handle to poke holes though, as a fork doesn't allow a big enough hole for the sauce to drain into. You won't be sorry if you try this one!

Serbian Ground Beef, Veggie, and Potato Bake

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2009

Wow! Was this delish!!! I added 1 more sliced potato to the layers and 1 more chopped to the veggie mixture. I sprinkled garlic powder and black pepper on the top of the casserole. I did'nt have the cream so I used 2T.milk and 1T. flour (mixed together first). It was a bit peppery but we like it that way...if you don't...maybe try 1/2 the black pepper. Also didn't have the wine so I used all water but dissolved the bouilion in it first in the microwave. Really can't wait to have this again!!! Hubby even had seconds!

Pineapple Zucchini Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2008

I cut this recipe in half (24) and added 1/4 t. each of ground cloves and nutmeg. They were super! As another reviewer suggested though, next time I might cut the oil in half and replace it with applesauce as the paper liners were a bit greasy. They don't rise much but are very tasty!!! I will make them again as the pineapple/zucchini combo is superb!

Turkey Pot Pie III

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2008

This was very good AND easy!!! I used cream of mushroom soup but any will do. Also added a handful of shredded cheese to thicken a bit, a small can of mushroom slices and some pepper and garlic. I used the deep dish pie shells that come frozen 2 to a pack and defrosted the top according to the package directions. It fell apart a bit but it was all good in the end! My hubby had 2 pieces! I divided the pie into 4 pieces. Great with a salad for a work night dinner!

Slow Cooker Stuffing

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2007

I made this for Easter dinner too and EVERYONE loved it!!! It was so moist that I swear it tasted like it cooked in the bird all day! I liked the canned mushrooms because they were soft and added to that all day cooked taste. Also cut back the broth to 2 cans and added one can of cream of celery soup. Mix the soup with the broth to get rid of any chunks! Also added a half loaf of day old bread, cubed. Any kind will do, I used wheat as that's what I had on hand. I threw in some italian seasoning too as I do love that spice! Super yummy!!!

Pan Peanut Butter Cups

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2006

The taste was very good but the bottom part crumbled A LOT and fell apart! I changed the margerine to 2 sticks like suggested but seemed way too dry. Also, good tip is to cut while the topping is still wet as it separates when trying to cut it when set. I used a 9X13 pan but would try a larger one next time because the bottom layer was pretty thick for such a rich treat!
