Excellent. I had a quart of gooseberries and doubled the recipe and it worked out great. I added a little nutmeg to the sour cream and I liked the addition. Also, this pie really does need to be a double crust pie, because it is one UGLY pie without a top crust.

Crustless Cranberry Pie

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2010

Fantastic. Just fantastic. I used almonds instead of walnuts, because that's what I had. More like a cake than a pie, though. Would be good with any berry.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cream Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2009

Very good, and very easy. I used a chocolate crust and added some chopped up peanut butter cups to the filling. Went over great, everyone loved it.

Key Lime Pie VII

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2009

Fantastic taste, and really easy. A word of warning though -- this is not a pretty pie. It comes out to be a sort of pale beige with green flecks from the lime zest. I added some green food coloring, which made it sort of greenish brown. If you're going to serve it to guests, I'd add a layer of cool whip to the top. Tastes FANTASTIC though.

Curried Butternut Squash and Pear Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2009

Fantastic soup. I didn't have an onion to put in, but it didn't miss it. Perfect combination of sweet and savory. Will make again.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesecake

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2009

I make this all the time for potlucks and such, and it's always a big hit. I usually skip the jelly and dress it up with chocolate. Last time I used chopped up peanut butter cups and mini chocolate chips and chocolate syrup. It looked fantastic. I also like to substitute a chocolate crust. Be forewarned, the cheesecake takes 30-40 minutes longer to bake than called for, but doesn't crack at all.

Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2009

These were amazing. I love homemade chocolate chip cookies but don't like the slightly hard texture. These cookies stayed satisfyingly soft for days.

I make this often as a quick weeknight dinner. Wonderful for using up leftover meat and vegetables.

White Gelatin

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2009

Didn't have much flavor and was difficult to mix well, although it looked nice. Would be a good base for mix-ins like candied fruit peel or peppermint pieces.

Pear Pie III

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2009

Very good. I cut the sugar in half and used brown sugar instead, and I also added some nutmeg and cinnamon and craisins. Took much longer to bake than the recipe stated, I had to cover it with foil after about 40 minutes. Probably took 80 minutes total.

Sour Cream Raisin Pie V

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2009

Very good, but definitely too much nutmeg. I cut the amount back to 1/2 tsp, and next time I would cut it back to 1/4 tsp. The brown sugar meringue was attractive and very tasty, much nicer than regular meringue.

Southwestern Chicken and Rice Casserole

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2009

Really easy and really good. I added a can of black beans and a can of green chiles and sprinkled the chicken with chile powder so it had some color. I'll definitely be making this often. Would also be good with yellow rice.
