My family absolutely loves this recipe! I also put a little brown sugar inside on top of the Brie before baking... wonderful!!! I am hoping to make a larger version of this for a Christmas party this weekend... have a 2 pound round Brie.

Salsa Ninety Nine (Mild)

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2009

We loved this salsa, and will make again! It does taste like the kind they serve in Mexican restaurants. We did 1/3 of a batch with 8 lbs. tomatoes. The other ingredient amounts we decreased accordingly, but used dried cilantro (about 1 T.) and white sugar. We didn't have a food mill, and like our salsa a little chunky, so I just cooked the tomatoes all cut up together about 1 hour (liquid and pieces). This worked fine. We don't mind a few seeds. Also... we only put the seeds of one of the jalapeños (1 of 5) in, and were glad we did... it was just the right amount of spice. YUM!!! This won't last long around here!!!

Cannoli II

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2008

The taste of the filling was great, but it was very runny and had sugary feel to it. I didn't see the previous posts about draining ricotta or using powdered sugar. Perhaps that would help. We didn't have or want to buy all of the equipment, so served the filling over puff-pastry shells (from freezer section, then baked). It was very good that way, and was a way to keep the runny filling inside.

Baklava

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2007

I had never tried Baklava before, so was very curious. This is the BEST dessert I have ever had! Even better than chocolate, which I usually crave. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

Alaska Salmon Bake with Pecan Crunch Coating

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2005

Wow!!! We were really impressed with this recipe. I had to substitute almonds and dry bread crumbs, but it was still fantastic! Use up all of the dry mixture... it gets crunchy and yummy while cooking. The flavor was just great... a new favorite for us.

Grandma's Secret Pie Crust

Reviewed: May 24, 2002

This was the easiest pie crust I have ever made, and tasted fantastic. I've tried many 'cookbook' pie crusts and they've always been too salty and hard to work with. I found I needed only a little flour to roll this out, which is unusual for pie crusts! It was easy to work with and shape. I also liked the nice amt. of dough, as there were scraps for the family to snack on. The crust was flaky and perfect! I will only use this recipe from now on. Thanks!

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie III

Reviewed: May 24, 2002

I liked the recipe, but would make changes. I used the crumb topping, which was very good, but made the pie WAY too sweet. I would either cut back the sugar in the pie to 1 Cup, or cut the topping recipe sugar down some (perhaps I'll do both!) I didn't have any tapioca, so used 1/2 Cup flour instead. It worked fine. Other than being too sweet, the pie was delicious, and I will try it again.

Apple Pecan Cobbler

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2002

This was a fantastic recipe. The pecans really add a lot. I made it for a luncheon at our Senior's club, and many people asked me for the recipe. Everyone loved it! I did serve it with whipped cream that was flavored with cider mulling spice. A nice addition!

Cheesy Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2002

This was a great recipe! I will make it again. I used Cream of Chicken soup instead of Celery, and also used sliced Cheddar Cheese- worked great! I would recommend loosely covering the dish so the croutons don't get too dry. I used a garlic-cheese flavored crouton, and WOW, was it great. We didn't have any leftovers.
