Rick's Special Buttercream Frosting

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2008

FAB-U-LOUS! Used this frosting most recently to make a 3-D duck cake for a baby shower. It was so easy to work with, and set up nicely. This will be my go-to recipe. Thanks!

Molten Chocolate Cakes With Sugar-Coated Raspberries

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2008

The flavor of these was quite good and, compared to a more complicated Emeril recipe, a good efficiency value. A couple of thoughts, though. Peeling the muffin papers off was a pain -- why not just grease & flour (or use cooking spray) in the tins? You could avoid hassle and avoid lines in the side of the mini cakes. I will try that next time. Also, I found the sugar-coated raspberries not that exciting. Next time, I will sift powdered sugar over top, and garnish with in-season fruit without added sugar. Worth trying.

Grilled Flat Iron Steak with Blue Cheese-Chive Butter

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2008

The marinade was pretty standard, but good. The blue-cheese-chive-butter, though, is outstanding, and earns this one 5 stars!

Cool Cucumber Salsa

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2008

This was pretty popular as a summer appetizer -- the cucumber is a nice addition to an otherwise standard pico de gallo. The volume was way too much, though, to be useable for a regular BBQ at our house, and it doesn't keep all that well. Either halve the salsa, or double the chips and have a really big party!

We had this for dinner tonight, and it was phenomenal! Restaurant-quality flavor combination and perfect for the style of fish. Highly recommend this one.

Melt - In - Your - Mouth Shortbread

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2006

Yep - it melts in your mouth! A little bland for my taste, but loved by all my taste-testers.

Delilah's Frosted Cut-Out Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2006

*LOVE* this recipe! I don't always use the frosting, but sometimes just put colored sugar on the cookies before they go in the oven. They come out great every time!

Fresh Peach Pie II

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2006

I've used this recipe many times over the last few years -- typically in August, when we get fresh peaches from the Western Slope of Colorado. The pies are always a big hit, and very easy to make.

Orzo with Parmesan and Basil

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2006

Excellent! Served this as a side to rosemary-crusted beef tenderloin, and it was gobbled up. I substituted vegetable broth for the chicken broth, and used prepared squeezeable basil instead of fresh. My only criticism is that the serving size was too small! :)
