Charleston Breakfast Casserole

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2007

I'm Scott M. (Now Scottley), and I'm glad so many of you like this recipe. I'm especially proud that many of you make this as a holiday dish because it's perfect for just such events. And with Christmas just around the corner, I hope many more of you will try this recipe. It lends itself well to breakfast, brunch, lunch or even dinner. If bacon isn't your thing, try it with country ham, your favorite sausage, shrimp, or even smoked salmon layered-in for an unexpected surprise. Served with crispy pan-seared hashbrowns, some fresh fruit, and a flute of mimosa (or OJ and giner ale for the little ones), it might make you a rock star in your own kitchen.

Easiest Mushroom Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2007

I thought it was good, but a tad on the bland side. (A few dashes of Worchestershire helped perk it up a lot.) I also suggest cutting back on the flour so it isn't quite as pastey. But it is easy for sure.

Russian Mushroom and Potato Soup

Wow! My roommate doesn't care for most soups, but she literally couldn't believe I made this from scratch. This was awesome!

Easy Alfredo Sauce II

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2006

I was really skeptical about this. Especially since I was using this as a last minute dinner idea for a date. But it was really good. Even my rommate had second helpings the next day -- and she never does that! Goes great with the grilled chicken, broccoli (or spinach), and penne dish I use it for. Definitely a keeper.

O'Brian's Potato Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2004

Delish! (Just a note: Some of what looks like melted butter may be oil/fat from the cheese, not butter. That still doesn't make it health-food, but sometimes you just have to live a little.) This is quick, easy, and very tastey so I'm all for it. Plus, you can add accent ingredients to put your personal tounch on it. This can be made fancy for more formal meals or a casual brunch dish.

Strawberry Cake and Frosting II

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2004

My niece's mother-in-law made this cake at Christmas where I tasted it for the first time. I honestly think it just may be the best cake I've ever had. Her recipe is ever so slightly different in that she uses just plain whole milk instead of condensed milk, but they are essentially the same aside from that. I'm making one today and can't wait for dessert this evening after dinner. If you like strawberries, you'll ~love~ this cake.

Easy Fruit Cobbler

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2004

I made this with really lousy peaches (They were the only ones available so I added 1/4 cup of sugar to them after slicing them and let them "steep" for a while.) But the cobbler was still very good despite the substandard peaches. Even my super-picky other-half enjoyed it about it and went for more the next day -- which NEVER happens. Tonight I'm trying it with a canned cherry pie filling and I'm going to experiment with a butter, flour, and sugar crumb topping.

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2003

Definitely a hit! Makes the prettiest cookies I've ever made -- and tastey too. I used a small spring-loaded ice cream scooper to make uniformly sized cookies and gave them p-l-e-n-t-y of room on the cookie sheets. Avoid the temptation to leave them in the oven a few extra minutes though. I didn't think my first batch looked done so I let them bake a few extra minutes, but they turned out a little too crunchy. 15 minutes was perfect (for my oven anyway). My picky gang was very impressed.

Caramelized Apple Bites

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2003

Wow! Quick, easy, and delicious. Big hit at my house. (Because we like thicker, richer sauces, I added a couple more caramel pieces and a smigon of cinnamon to the preparation, but would still be terrific according to this recipe.)

Fruit Cocktail Cake with Sweet, Buttery Sauce

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2003

Wow! What a hit! Quick, easy, and delicious. My tips; 1) Do NOT use your Kitchen-Aid mixer (is doesn't chop up the fruit at all; 2) Add a few tablespoons of vegetable oil to the batter & mix well (ensures moisture); 3) Reduce the sauce recipe by half. This cake is going to be my Thanksgiving contribution this year.

Warm and Spicy Autumn Punch

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2002

I thought the punch was pretty darned good and smelled delicious as I was preparing it. I have to admit I was a little disappointed in the final result -- mainly because my expectations were so lofty.

Cornbread Muffins II

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2002

Fantastic recipe. I scaled the recipe amount to half, used an iron mold pan to make eight sticks, and it was PERFECT with vegetable soup. (One tip: If you use a heavy iron pan like I did, let them cool a couple of minutes before loosening with a butter knife.) Great taste, texture, and consistency. This one is definitely going in my notebook.

Garlic Cheese Biscuits

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2002

I had to practice a couple of times to get the baking temp and time just right for my tempramental oven (I call it Chernobyl), but once I hit upon the right combination, I was blown away with these tasty little jewels. Now if I can just find Red Lobster's stuffed mushroom appetizer recipe, I'll be all set.

Wedding Cake Icing

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2002

Awesome, awesome, awesome! I've used this recipe for a lot of different baked goods requiring icing. It has a fantastic texture, is very easy to work with, spreads out to a satiny smoothness with an offset spatula dipped in hot water, and can be very versatile with a few drops of your favorite extract added. Definitely a keeper!

Italian Wedding Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2002

The cake itself has an excellent flavor, but the texture and consistency turned out a little too grainy. (I'm big on texture so I usually add a little (1/4 cup or less) light vegetable oil to most cake recipes to make sure it stays moist while I'm creaming butter and sugar. Maybe I shouldn't have.) The pineapple and coconut made the cake feel a little "lumpy" in my mouth too. But bascially, I thought it had a great flavor.
