Great punch! I love the fact that the frozen slushy stuff keeps the punch cold without the need for ice. It was still cold after 3 hours. Delicious fruity flavor. I did cut the sugar in half like others suggested. This is now my go-to punch recipe.

Pink Pillows

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2008

These taste like sugar cookies with a hint of strawberry. I decided to jazz them up with a Hershey kiss on top, a la the classic cookies Peanut Butter Blossoms. Without the Kiss on top, I would probably only give these three stars as they're kind of blah.

Cinnamon Swirl Bundt Coffee Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2008

Absolutely scrumptious. I went with another's brilliant suggestion of doubling the "swirl". This one's a keeper.

Caramel Apple Coffee Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2008

Very tasty! The caramel glaze puts this over the top. I followed others' suggestions and used half white/half brown sugar and half oil/half applesauce. I have also made the Cinnamon Swirl Bundt Coffee Cake that is on this website, and found it to be delicious as well, so I used the "swirl" part of that coffee cake in this one! It's so easy - mix up 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 T cinnamon. Fill the Bundt pan with half of the cake mix. Sprinkle the sugar/cinnamon mix on top, then top off with the other half of the cake mix. It makes a nice sugary spicy ribbon through an already delectable coffee cake.

Mini Vanilla-Almond Peach Cupcakes with Fresh Peach Frosting

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2008

Pretty good cupcakes. I first saw this recipe in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. They warned that you need to use completely ripened peaches for best results. I made 18 full size cupcakes. Baked them at 325 for 10 minutes, but they were nowhere near done, so I bumped up the oven to 350 for a few more minutes. The cupcakes are heavy, almost like muffins. Nice peachy taste. The most puzzling thing about this recipe is the frosting - the sugar-to-butter ratio seems waaaay off to me. I made it as written, tasted it and it just seemed super sugary. So I threw in a little more butter and I think it helped.

Peppermint Meringues

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2004

Easy to make, but not well-received. I think the styrofoam texture really throws people off.

Christmas Wreaths

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2004

These were the cutest cookies I made for Christmas this year. Like another reviewer, I didn't bother making the wreath shape and instead just did "holly bushes". They are very colorful and looked great on my cookie plate with my other cookies. Sure, they're a little messy to make but everyone gobbled them up.

Honey Glazed Ham

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2004

I used this glaze for my Christmas ham and it was very well received. I used brown sugar instead of the corn syrup and ground cloves instead of whole. I halved the recipe and it was more than enough for my 5 lb. ham.
