Maryann's Upside Down Rhubarb Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2008

I was not thrilled with this -- I needed something to use up a boxed cake mix that was taking up room in my pantry. And I did have rhubarb in the freezer. The idea is great for the southern menu we had planned -- chili and collard greens (from this site) -- but the taste of a boxed mix still comes through. Next time I will make it from scratch with the rhubarb. Thanks for the idea, though.

Coconut Cream Pie I

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2007

Great summer recipe -- no baking! Easy and delicious. I used one package of French vanilla and one package of coconut pudding to add depth to the flavor. I toasted coconut in the toaster oven for the topping. No heat generated.

Grandma's Lemon Meringue Pie

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2007

Easy and delicious. Add 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar to the meringue to hold hold it together (lessen the drips) and cool for one hour before refrigerating for 4-6 hours before serving. Wonderful!

Crustless Cranberry Pie

Reviewed: May 26, 2007

Easy and delicious. I used 1 cup frozen cranberries and 1 cup frozen blueberries (gently folded in at the last minute so the batter does not turn purple!). I made a brown sugar/cold butter/pecan crumble topping. Pecans seemed more complementary to these flavors. The cut pie appears red, white and blue -- perfect for Memorial Day.

Mini Meatloaves

Reviewed: Apr. 25, 2007

Easy and delicious. I used 1.5 pounds ground turkey and .5 pound ground pork. This made exactly 12 muffin tins. I sprinkled cheese on 1/2 of them and then spooned the sauce on all of them. We ate 1/2 the batch for dinner and then I froze 1/2 the batch for another night.

Beth's Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2007

Used all butter instead of shortening. Definitely refrigerate the batter prior to baking to prevent spreading. This will allow the cookies to cook uniformly.

I am a fan of the welsh cakes -- Liked the ball/pat method rather than the rolling/cutting.

Homesteader Cornbread

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2006

Easy and delicious. Reduced sugar to 1/2 cup. I like to sprinkle paprika on top for a little color. I generally serve 1/3 with dinner (usually chili) and freeze 2/3 of the bread in a plastic freezer bag. This helps control our carb intake (yum!). The other 2/3 of the cornbread can be thawed for other meals. I like to slice it into cubes and toast it in the oven to accompany stews, chili, salads as a hearty crouton.
