Quick Mix Banana Nut Bread

Reviewed: May 13, 2012

This was moist & browned nicely, but the top of mine turned out very sticky, even though I waited until it was totally cooled off to cover it. Also, the texture was too spongy.

Best Oven Baked French Toast

Reviewed: May 5, 2012

This was a big disappointment.. I wish I could say something good about it, but I cannot. Also, it doesn't taste like French Toast at all.

This Soda Bread rose well, had a very nice crunchy top & browned nicely. The batter is a bit difficult to handle, for it's stiff & sticky, so it was very hard to transfer from the bowl to the baking pan, even with a strong spatula. This bread is great on the day it's baked, but by the next day, it is all dried out and has no taste. I even tried freezing half of it on the day it was baked, taking it out of the freezer on the day it would be consumed, but that half was still dried out.

Family Banana Nut Bread Recipe

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2012

Although this banana bread has a beautiful appearance, i.e. browned very nicely, rose perfectly & looks very professional (see my attached photo), it is lacking in taste. It has a rubbery consistency, not much taste, and surprisingly, the cream cheese & butter added nothing to the taste.

Poppy Onion Biscuits

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2012

These looked good and browned very nicely, but I did not like the texture or taste. They basically have no taste and are a bit dry.

Good Morning Egg Bake

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2012

This sausage egg bake is out of this world! Quick, easy, delicious, and it browned very nicely on top. Since Campbell's Soup no longer sells Nacho Cheese Soup (where I live, anyway), I used Cheddar Cheese Soup and added a dash of hot sauce and about a teaspoon of chili powder.

Irish Whiskey Muffins

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2012

These muffins have a nice taste, but I would change the name to 'Basic Breakfast Muffins'. They are plain muffins, and the Bailey's & whiskey taste are not detected at all after baking.

Kathy's French Toast Bake

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2012

Very nice taste, and it rose up and achieved a nice puffy result. However, the cream cheese did not add anything at all to it, so I would totally eliminate it next time. The cream cheese chunks did not melt, just remained exactly where you placed them before baking, browned on top, and actually did not have much taste. The end result looked like toasted marshmallows on top. For someone like me who does not make French Toast but likes it a lot, this was a good recipe and one I would make it again.

Kale Chips

Reviewed: May 28, 2011

These are great, and contrary to many of the reviews, I did bake them for 35 minutes, as the original recipe said, and they were perfect.

Cheddar Onion Drop Biscuits

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2010

Great biscuits.. delicious! The outside had a golden brown crunchiness, and the inside is moist & very tasty! I did not have dried minced onion, so I used dried chives. The name should be changed to "Cheddar Parmesan Drop Biscuits".

Mango Blueberry Muffins With Coconut Streusel

Reviewed: Sep. 6, 2010

I made 6 large muffins instead of 16 small, and they turned out so professional-looking and delicious. I also substituted bing cherries (the dark red ones in a can) for the blueberries & mango.. great substitution!

Ice Cream Muffins

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2010

Only 2 ingredients.. this is amazing! I've made these muffins exactly as the recipe says 3 times, and every time they turn out perfectly.. perfectly browned and crunchy on the outside, and very moist on the inside. They're great when you want a really good plain muffin without the sweetness of other muffins.

Breakfast in a Muffin

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2009

These muffins are superb .. moist on the inside, crunchy & perfectly brown on the outside, and delicious! Have made it into my top 3 (I make many different kinds of muffins). I did omit the bacon, & they were still great. The next time I make them, I will alternate tablespoonfuls of the 2 batters into the tins so the cream cheese mixture will be better distributed.
