Vanilla Port Poached Figs with Honey Cream

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2013

I have made this recipe several times with great results. I won a first place ribbon at our Mid-State Fair in 2011 using this recipe with just one big change. I canned the figs using a water bath method. They were firm and plump and turned out deliciously. If you are into figs this is truly a winner. I added the cream and honey later after opening each jar. Lovely presentation. I think using a vanilla bean is a great addition too.

Chili Rellenos Casserole

Reviewed: Sep. 20, 2012

Made this recipe for dinner tonight.I used 3 eggs as suggested and dropped the milk. I did add a generous teaspoon of baking powder to the flour which I think helped the mixture become fluffy and light after baking, much like a chili relleno. My husband lovedd it and so did my son. No leftovers with this one. I also used cheddar and pre-grated taco cheese because that's what I had in the fridge. and since we like food spicey I used hot enchelada sauce instead of the tomato sause, which I thought was out of place for this recipe. This is a good standard recipe that can be tweeked to suite you taste. Very good.

Banana Bread IV

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2011

I've made this recipe dozens of times for adult children and grandchildren and friends. It's a very good recipe, makes two loaves or 4 mini loaves and is a recipe you can play with. I like to add cinnamon, chocolate or butterscotch chips to it, different kinds of nuts and have even made a strudle topping for my loaves. Try this one... you will really enjoy it. My freezer ALWAYS has 2 or 3 small loaves I can give as gifts or thaw for afternoon tea.

Mincemeat Cookies

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2011

Loved this cookie. I wanted to make something different and this was it. Not too sweet and I really think that being able to freeze them is really nice. My husband likes to have three or four kinds of cookies in the freezer so all he has to do is thaw and enjoy. This cookis is good not only for Christmas but all year long. I will make again. I followed the recipe as written and had complete success.

Slow Cooker Sausage with Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2010

This is a great easy meal. Nice to have ready after a long day of hiking or surfing. We used spicy chicken sausage in addition to the sausage the recipe calls for. Both work equally well. Nice on toasted rolls and with a veggie side.

Pumpkin-Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2010

Excellent cookie. Followed the recipe to the letter and had fantastic results. This cookie freezes well and can travel well if you take the time to pack right. I am adding this one to my best cookies list. Easy to make. All of the ingredients are easy to find any day in our kitchen pantry.
