I had high hope for this recipe considering the high rating and positive reviews. However, I was quite disappointed. The dough tastes good but is IMPOSSIBLE to work with. I put it in the fridge for 2 hours... attempted to roll it and there was no way that was happening. So, I decided to just leave the dough in the refrigerator over night. When I went to work with it the next day, it was still horribly sticky. I attempted to roll it but it just made a huge mess.

Rum or Bourbon Balls

Reviewed: Mar. 26, 2009

These are excellent. I'd suggest making a double batch if you plan on having any left over -- they go FAST!

B and L's Strawberry Smoothie

Reviewed: Mar. 26, 2009

This recipe is great for curbing a sweet tooth! I used Dole frozen strawberries, 6oz. of Breyer's Light Vanilla Bean yogurt (instead of plain), 1 tsp. of vanilla (instead of 2), 1 Tbsp. of sugar (instead of 3), and left out the ice (since the strawberries were frozen). It was excellent! My 2 and 4 year old daughters even loved it and they are picky!

Yogurt Crunch Parfaits

Reviewed: May 20, 2008

We weren't really big fans of this recipe. Maybe it was the Banana Nut Crunch cereal (??). Next time, I think I'll try experimenting with different cereals and see if it makes a difference.

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2007

This apple pie looks beautiful and tastes great! Like others suggested, I added 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, and 1 tsp. vanilla to the apples before putting them into the crust. If you want to make the top shine, after the pie is done baking, take 1/4 c. light corn syrup and thin it a little with VERY HOT water. From there, brush it on the top of the pie and stick it back in the oven for 2-3 minutes; just long enough for the syrup to set/dry.

Pastry for Double Pie-Crust

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2007

This recipe was excellent and extremely simple to make. Be sure to use ICE COLD WATER like others suggested. Rather than regular shortening, I used butter flavored. Additionally, add a tablespoon or so of sugar if using it for apple pie or desserts like that.
