Oven-Roasted Asparagus

Reviewed: Apr. 25, 2011

My mom made hers like this and my kids loved it. She left it in longer under the broiler to get a crispier texture to them. It really added another dimension to the flavor.

Magic Wands

Reviewed: Oct. 22, 2010

I do something similar, but I use the candy melts because there are lots of colors and you can layer them. There is so much more you can do with those rather than just icing or chocolate.

Made this in my crock pot. It was wonderful. I grew up in Arizona and we had real Mexican food there, this is the closest I have found. All we use for tacos is onions and fresh cilantro. It even worked great as a taco salad.

Mom's Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2008

The only complaint is it had lots of hard bits of the peel in the bread, maybe if you peel the zucchini before you grate it the hard bits can be avoided. I read a lot of the reviews before making this since it was my 1st time trying it. Overall the bread came out good I did the 1/2 brown and 1/2 white sugar, less oil and used cinnamon applesauce, 3 cups of zucchini and I also added chocolate chips to 1 loaf.

Mrs. Sigg's Snickerdoodles

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2008

I made mini cookies, when cooked they were about the size of a 50 cent piece. My kids rolled them in the cinnamon/sugar mixture and placed them on the cookie sheets. I needed to shorten the cooking time so they didn't get to hard. I had to make a double batch just to have some to bring into work because the kids ate them as soon as they were cool enough. To make them soft again after fully cooling I put some in the microwave for about 15 seconds or so and they are just like when they came out of the oven.

Grandpa's Popcorn Balls

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2007

My kids wanted popcorn balls that they saw the the store, so I decided to make them while they were at school. I made them when the caramel was still a little soft, they seemed to stick together very well. I did not have enough corn syrup to make them so I found a substiution for it... for 1 cup of corn syrup use 1/4 Cup water and 1 Cup sugar. They loved them, especially my picky one who doesn't like popcorn. Now I have to make them for his Halloween party at school.

Basic Crepes

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2007

This was my first time making these, the only thing I didn't like was the batter came out lumpy and so did the crepes because of it. In general they were very good I just need to figure out what went wrong.

Sweetened Popcorn

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2006

This is very similar to what my dad made. We did it in the microwave in a large coffee mug. Cook it about 3 minutes, after the 1st minute stir it every 20 second or less so it dosen't boil over. Instead of pouring the popcorn into the mixture we spooned it over the popcorn in a large bowl and stirred it after every 5 or so spoonfulls so it was evenly coated.

I have been using this recipe for 2 years now and it is still the family favorite. I always double or triple the recipe and it works great on any type of steak, not just london broil.

Bread Pudding II

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2004

I love bread pudding and this is by far the best one I have tasted. My son who dosen't like rasins even likes it...Only things I changed were, I toasted bread until dry/slightly brown instead of day old, warmed the milk and added a little nutmeg. It only took me 25 minutes to cook for it to be done in a 350 oven
