Scarlett's Best Ever Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2011

These have a wonderful flavor and do melt in your mouth but they were oily and spread wayy out. Next time I will try as one reviewer did and lessen the oil and increase the sugar.. the consistency is too thin and oily. Will try again.

Key Lime Pie VII

Reviewed: May 18, 2011

This is a five star Key Lime Recipe. One VERY VERY CLOSE to this is Emeril Lagasse's recipe. The only difference is that it's topped with 1/2 c. sour cream mixed with 1/2 c. conf. sugar. It sounds weird but it's really good.. I've made it and received alot of good feedback. Homemade graham cracker crust is alot better than store bought!! an easy way to improve the pie from the start. be sure crust has cooled completely before pouring ingredients inside.

French Silk Chocolate Pie I

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2011

This was a big hit in my household. Husband and son both enjoyed this pie. I did make more filling since I was filling a 9" shell. I used 1 1/2 sticks butter 1 cup sugar, 3 eggs and 3 squares of unsweetened baking chocolate. This is absolutely to die for chocolate pie!

Blueberry Streusel Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 22, 2011

I made these as written...was looking for a way to use up a container of fresh blueberries. They rose beautiful with full mushroom caps on top. The streusel was just right and very tasty. They cooked perfectly browned in 25 mn in my electric oven. Next time I will add a bit more sugar to the batter. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you for sharing

Plum Quick Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2011

I had my fears about this recipe because in with all the plums was a good 1/2 c. of juice. But it turned out great! The topping really adds to it and gives it a sweet crunch. Very moist. I recommend removing from loaf pans while still warm ( after cooling for 15-20 mns) Will def. keep this recipe since we have a plum tree that explodes with fruit every season. I did bake 15 mns longer than is called for. Thanks for the great recipe!

Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2011

I've made pumpkin bread from many different recipes over the years. This has awesome flavor. I baked two loaves today. Only change I made was to add 1 cup chopped pecans and 1 cup raisins, because we like ours that way. Only change I would make next time would be to add 1 tspn of salt. My loaves took 1 hr and 20 mins to bake but the center of each loaf fell. I suspect it was the leavening. Other than the fruit and nuts, I followed the recipe to a "T". I have wrapped one up well in plastic wrap and foil to freeze and will enjoy the 2nd loaf in future. This is a definete keeper.

The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2011

way too much baking powder for cut outs to hold their shape.. they rose and spread quite a bit and my cookie cutter designs were lost completely. I finished off the dough by rolling into balls and pressing slightly with the bottom of a glass dipped in fine sugar to bake. NOT the recipe I was looking for to make cut out Christmas cookies. I will keep looking.

Tiny Pecan Tarts

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2010

tart pastry takes a little time to form, but is soo worth it. These are absolutely delicious! I made one and a half times pastry and cut the filling in half and had approx 48 tarts. First time ever making these and was so happy with the results.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies from Heaven

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2010

I made these exactly as written. I was somewhat disappointed in them. The texture is extremley soft and almost cake like ( probably due to the cornstarch), after all flour + cornstarch = cake flour. The flavor also was a bit of a letdown, not as peanut buttery as I'd imagined. I may try them again with 1/4 c. of additional peanut butter. Also I think they need 2-3 mins more baking time; at least in my oven. I will continue looking for a good recipe for this type of cookie.

I use 1 8 oz. pkg finely grated cheddar and 3 T. regular butter, 1 egg, 1 8 oz. sour cream, 1 can each of creamed and regular corn ( drain whole kernel corn) and 1 pkg Jiffy corn muffin mix.

Easy Peach Cobbler II

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2010

I gave this 5 stars for ease in preparation, taste and appearance. I used two cans 29 oz. of sliced peaches drained. Used 1/2 c. BUTTER because I had no margarine on hand, 4 T self rising flour and 1 egg. Recommend you cut bread into strips or cubes for a nicer presentation. Oh, I also sprinkled my peaches with brown sugar and cinnamon. This is a keeper!!

Lemon Raspberry Jumbo Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2010

I had raspberries that had become a little "soft" and didn't do well atop cereal which is why I bought them. I went looking for a recipe and found this one! I had everything on hand so I went for it! They turned out wonderful. Even hubby enjoyed the muffins. I cut the sugar down and used 1/4 c. and the rest, I used splenda. These were yummy!

Low-Fat Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Reviewed: Apr. 24, 2010

I made these EXACTLY as written. I did not care for them. they were rubbery in texture, didn't rise much and I think they needed real lemon zest and less extract. I will search for another recipe for these muffins.
