Cold Cocoa Smoothie

Reviewed: Apr. 24, 2010
I used chocolate ice cream as suggested and it was wonderful! Real whipped cream (not the tub stuff) and a premium dark hot cocoa mix I recieved in a Christmas gift basket rounded it out nicely! I used oreos for the cookie. I loved it but my son thought he would like to try the vanilla ice cream next time as it was a bit too chocolaty the way I made it - as if anything can ever be TOO chocolaty! This is a keeper!

Sweet Potato Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2011
Just wonderful! I didnt have orange peel so I used 1/2 teaspoon organic orange extract. I didnt have applesauce so I added another 1/2 cup of sweet potatoes instead. I only had 1/2 cup of walnuts left so that is all I put in. It came out wonderful! I was afraid the spices mayhave been too much but they were wonderfully subtle yet gave it a real depth of flavor. As others have said, the flavor gets better the next day! Freezes well. I didnt think it was too sweet but hten again I was expecting a sweet spicy bread, perhaps those not used to the spice are expecting a sweeter sugary loaf. I really enjoyed the flavor of the spices!

Cinnamon Coffee Cake II

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2010
Wonderful!! To make it even better use pecans instead of walnuts and you get a praline like top! Be carefule not to use too big a pan or there wont be enough batter to spread two layers. I always double the recipe and use a smaller pan or a bundt pan for that layered look.

King Ranch Chicken Casserole I

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2010
It always dissapears quickly! I always use my own home made tortilla chips and precook the chicken breasts in the oven. That way it is so quick and easy to toss together!

Waffles I

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2010
OK when I went to make these my waffle iron broke, but I had several hungry mouths to feed!!! So I quickly thinned the batter a tad with some milk and made pancakes instead! They were light and fluffy and the flavor was fantastic! lol! I am assuming that if I had been able to make them as waffles the flavor would have been just as good! :)

Amish Breakfast Casserole

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2010
All I can say is WOW! I made this at my cafe one day for a quick breakfast special. One lady took a bite, then another, and ran back to me and said, "This is the best thing I have even put in my mouth!" After an awkward pause I just smiled and said, "thank you!" I did do two things differently - first I had leftover ham I wanted to use so I subbed that for the bacon. Second I used a three cheese mix instead of all cheddar. I also topped it with a bit of cheddar half way through cooking. It is a regular on my menu now! :)

Apple Crisp III

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2010
I put too manuy apples in I think because I ended up with apple cobbler instead of crisp! lol! But the taste was fantastic. I cored and cubed the apples and left the skins on. I used gala and granny smith. Next time I will use less apples and maybe leave out the water - it didnt need it with the extra apples. I was very pleased with the results though - if a failure is this good imagine how tasty the real thing is!

Ruth's Grandma's Pie Crust

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2010
My favorite. very easy, very fast, and very tender. I use it for anything that requires a pie crust. Make sure you dont over work the dough. I just rake my fingers through it until it is mixed and then plop it in a gallon sized zipper bag to refrigerate it. Then I knead it in the bag plop it on the counter and roll. wonderful results every time!

Slow Cooker Split Pea Sausage Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2010
I got raised eybrows from people who were expecting ham instead of sausage but its the same animal - right?? I used brats that I had gotten on sale. It turned out great and honestly would be even better with the ham which I will try next time!

Fluffy Biscuit Muffins

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2011
This is my new go-to biscuit recipe!! Fast easy - wonderful! I doubled the recipe and rolled them out on a floured surface and used a 2" biscuit cutter it made about 12 biscuits. They puffed up really high! I served them with sausage gravy and they were wonderful. The only thing I would do different is add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the mix - but other than that it is my new favorite!!

Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2011
I was a bit skeptical about a creamy soup with rice in it but this was wonderful! The only thing I added was a bay leaf while cooking. I just love what the taste of bay does to chicken in soups. As written it is still five stars!

Restaurant-Style Hashbrown Casserole

Reviewed: May 20, 2011
A real favorite at our house and restaurant! I added a few more spices (salt pepper garlic powder)and make sure I melt a bit of shredded cheddar on top when I serve it - otherwise it is a keeper just as it is!
