Cinnamon Raisin Bread I

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2011

The bread is delicious and freezes well. As with most homemade breads, it dries out much faster than store-bought, if you can keep it in the kitchen that long! As others mentioned, the dough was sticky; I had to add 1/2 - 1 cup more flour when kneading. I added more raisins because I love every bite to have raisin. Next time, I will add more cinnamon per my son's request. I will definitely make this again and again.

Cherry Pie III

Reviewed: Jul. 7, 2010

I didn't have enough tart cherries to make this pie, so (at my farmer's market farmer's suggestion), used a 3:1 ration of cherries to strawberries. You could not tell the difference; the pie was outstanding! I cheated and used pastry from the refrigerated section of the grocery store. I've never made, or eaten, a better cherry pie.

Banana Muffins II

Reviewed: Apr. 16, 2010

I made these yesterday, followed the recipe exactly. The muffins are outstanding! They are very moist, but not too moist, light and flavorful. Don't stir the dry ingredients too much; I folded mine in with a spatula until just moistened. This will definitely be used again.

Chex® Muddy Buddies®

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009

Quick suggestion we found is easier than shaking or stirring in the powdered sugar...we put the mix into our salad spinner, and add powdered sugar. Spin away (and shake a couple of times). All the mixture gets covered in sugar, and the excess sugar stays in the bowl.

Blueberry Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2007

After reading some of the reviews, I changed the following: Used 3 T cornstarch plus 3 T Minute Tapioca, and baked at 375 for 60 minutes. The pie turned out wonderfully, holding itself together even when I cut it warm. Great recipe!

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies I

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2007

for those folks who had issues with the cookies sticking to the pan, etc...since these cookies are made with butter, you need to use a non-insulated shiny cookie sheet. This will allow the whole cookie to bake without the butter melting first and the cookie turning out flat and crunchy. (If you substitute shortening for the butter, you can use an insulated pan without a problem, too.)

Chocolate Chip Meringue

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2006

My mother made something just like these with meringue and chocolate chips, and they also had corn flakes in them for a little crunch. Great cookies...just like mom's.

Baked Potato Soup I

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2006

This was a great recipe. I used the bacon grease instead of the margarine/butter to make the roux, and only used about 1/2 cup of the flour. The soup was plenty thick with the smaller amount of flour. I didn't have leftover baked potatoes, so cubed potatoes and boiled them. I put about half the cubs in the soup, and mashed the rest to make the soup more of a "slurry" with fewer actual potato chunks. It was phenomenal...with plenty for leftovers.

Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread

Reviewed: Mar. 26, 2006

I made this tonight with chili and served it with the Honey Butter recipe (submitted by Shannon) also on this website. They were both excellent...I'll be making them again.

Honey Butter

Reviewed: Mar. 26, 2006

I served this honey butter with the Grandma's Cornbread recipe also on this site; it was very tasty. I spread some of this on the cornbread when it first came out of the oven so it soaked in before we served it. Very good...I'll make both of them again.

After eating his second sandwich, my husband said, "You can make it this way all the time". Bye, bye, Manwich!

Mom's Peanut Brittle

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2005

This was my first attempt at making peanut brittle, and it turned out great! I always use a candy thermometer, and had read on another recipe to cook it to 300 degrees. I did that for this recipe, and it turned out with just the correct amount of brittleness. It's buttery and sugary...tastes wonderful. Next time, I will add a few more peanuts, but I really love the brittle just as it is.

Cherry Pie IV

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2005

I tried this recipe twice. The first time through, I followed the recipe to a "T" and the pie was perfect! The second time through, I used all the same amounts and did everything the same, EXCEPT I didn't cook the cherries and sugar and cornstarch. I mixed them all together in a bowl and let them macerate for a few minutes, then placed them in the crust and baked. The cherries held together better this way and the juices still made a nice gel to hold it all together. I'd suggeset cooking the pie a little longer, though, if you do it this way, because you aren't starting with a hot filling.

Molasses Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2005

I have made these a couple of times. Each time, I get compliments on them. My father in law likes having a softer cookie, similar to a gingersnap, but not crisp. Great recipe.

Egg Casserole

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2005

The casserole was great! I used 1.5 lbs of bacon instead of the sausage, added three green onions, mixed it all the night before and refrigereated overnight. I baked it at 375 for 40 minutes, the first 15 covered. I took it to a church breakfast, and they loved it! I'll definitely make it again.

Nora's Special Chocolate Chip Muffins

Reviewed: Feb. 11, 2005

I was done mixing these muffins before I read the other reviews. Had I read them first, I would have realized the 'four star' rating of these muffins was for the modified recipes included in the reviews. This original recipe was very dry, grainy...even my kids wouldn't eat them. Wish someone would publish this recipe, altered, so we could try that as written.

Peanut Butter Chews

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2004

These are great! I used Special K instead of the cornflakes, but the results are very similar I'm sure. I think they would also be great with a little milk chocolate melted and drizzled across the top. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
