Fluffy Pancakes

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2012

I normally avoid pancake recipes that don't have buttermilk because me and hubs are pretty set on that. One reviewer indicated she substituted buttermilk on this one so I thought I'd try it. I also used brown sugar instead of white and added a splash of vanilla. These had the best flavor - really impressive! Of course, fresh blueberries and real butter and real maple syrup are a must. Definitely make this recipe!

Sausage Cheese Puffs

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2010

I've been making these for years without the baking soda and water. My new variation I just tried today: 1 & 3/4 cups Bisquick, 1/4 cup shredded parmesan, 2 cups shredded cheddar and a couple shakes of paprika and garlic powder plus 2 T. water. My husband gave this a thumbs up! I will definitely keep the parmesan in for the future; it adds a nice little golden crust to the bottom of each one!

Bread Pudding II

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2010

I used 3 eggs, 1 & 3/4 c milk and 1/4 brown and 1/4 white sugar, plus another teaspoon of white sugar. I cut up a small apple, and added fresh grated nutmeg to the top before placing in the oven. Honestly, it was so good, I could have eaten it all myself (& I don't eat much!) A+

Swiss Cashew Tossed Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2010

We love this and my mother in law adored it! I also add either dried cherries, cut up apples or mandarin oranges. This is a delicious salad!

Veronica's Apple Pancakes

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009

I'm sorry, there must be a mistake on this recipe. I make pancakes every Sunday morning and enjoy trying new recipes. I thought there was too much butter in this recipe and tried it anyway. I couldn't eat them. My husband ate them and the dog thought they were good, but they were dough-y in the middle and I know how to cook. Perhaps if the butter was 2 T instead of 4 T it would be ok. I have another recipe with apples that is similar that calls for 2 T of oil and 1/2 to 3/4 c of milk and I had a ** next to the recipe. It also called for only 1 c of flour. Try those substitutions and see if you like it. I also want to note that I normally do not give a negative review but these were very disappointing.

Dishpan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2009

These are similar to the supposedly famous "Neiman Marcus" cookie recipe that circulated years ago. I made them today and left out the golden raisins and coconut. If I made them again, I would cut the sugar a little (I cut the whole recipe in 1/4 so I would do 3/4 cups sugar total). Also, these cookies do not spread out so make them big enough - mine were a little small. Excellent cookie, but I'm always on the quest for "the" perfect cookie!

Gingerbread Boys

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2008

I really liked these and changed them just a little. I, too used molasses instead of corn syrup. I don't recommend omitting the orange zest, but I only used about 1 1/2 teaspoons. It does come through and tastes great! Also, I made the frosting from the "Sugar Cookie Frosting" recipe and used orange juice instead of all milk in the recipe. My husband/I both thought these were fabulous!

Sugar Cookie Frosting

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2008

I changed it just a little. I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening. I also used 4 T orange juice and 1 T milk. It turned out fabulous with the gingerbread men recipe - the one that calls for orange zest.

Buttermilk Pancakes II

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2008

I have searched high and low for a fabulous pancake - this is it! My husband said, "you can stop searching - this is the best!" Update: 4/12/09...I forgot I had reviewed these and today again my husband said they were delicious. I topped them with sliced bananas and toasted sliced almonds, butter and real maple syrup. These are also a lot easier than beating egg whites separately and folding them in to the batter like many other buttermilk pancake recipes. Try this; you will not be disappointed! Michelle

Pecan Pie V

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2008

My husband and I are pretty picky - I had made a Kahlua pecan pie recently that was frankly not that good. I still had a pie crust/pecans left and saw this recipe and thought "let's try this one!" Oh, my it is really really great! A keeper for sure! I cut the white sugar to 1/8 cup and added a pinch of salt and another 1/2 cup of pecans but otherwise kept everything the same. I think this would win a prize in a baking contest - it's that good! Thank you!!

Caramel Popcorn

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2006

I have made this many times. My recipe calls for 1 teaspoon baking soda and the oven temp @ 200 degrees. I think that would make a difference in the "burnt" taste if you turn it down to 200.

Mandarin Orange Cake III

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2004

I made this yesterday and it's almost gone! My husband said, "I can't stay away from this cake!" ...and this from a man who doesn't like desserts without chocolate. I didn't have coconut and didn't feel like using nuts so I made it without. The frosting really makes this cake!

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2002

Very Good! I did add 1 cup of quick oats as the batter looked too soft. I used mini M&Ms (semi sweet) and 1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of macadamia nuts. Rich! One was enough for me...but true lovers could eat more than one. Michelle

Lemon Poppy Seed Quick Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2002

Cake mix cakes usually don't impress me, but this one is tasty! I didn't have lemon yogurt so I used part vanilla yogurt and part sour cream. I also used orange juice for the water. I grated a little lemon peel as well into the batter. After it cooled, I mixed fresh lemon juice, brown sugar, honey and a little milk and poked holes into the cake and drizzled the glaze over top. Definitely a keeper! Michelle from Belmont, Michigan
