Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2010

As written, these weren't very good. They were very thin. However, after reading some reviews, I used 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp. salt, and added about 3/4 cup more flour. Additionally, I increased the temperature to 350 and baked them for 14-15 minutes. They came out PERFECT this way. Soft and chewy!

Creamy Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2010

I really wasn't too impressed with the recipe as written. It really didn't have a lot of flavor, and I like my mashed potatoes to be packed with flavor. However, with a few additions, this recipe can be a three or four. I added more cheese than the recipe called for (approx. 1/4 - 1/2 cup additional) and added garlic powder to taste.

Kettle Corn

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009

This was pretty good! Not quite as good as some friends' kettle corn (they had a kettle corn business), but WAY better than the bagged microwavable kind! I did the 3 kernel test and alternated shaking and sitting it on the burner every 3 seconds (made for a great ab workout!). Turned out great!

French Baguettes

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2009

Yum! This bread was fantastic and the wonderful smell of fresh bread baking in the oven made it hard to wait! I didn't feel like pulling out the bread machine, so mixed and kneaded by hand. Even my husband, who is not a big bread fan liked it! This is definitely a keeper.

Winter Fruit Salad with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2009

This salad is delicious! I followed the directions for the dressing, but changed a couple things in the salad itself. I left out the cheese and used walnuts instead of cashews (that's what I had on hand). Everyone I've made it for loves it!

Mocha Chip Bundt Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2009

This cake is really good - it's very moist and has great flavor - for a chocolate cake. However, I'm only giving it three stars, because it is called "MOCHA Chip Bundt Cake." I could not even taste the coffee in it, and I'm not a coffee drinker, so I can usually pick out coffee flavors in things. So, if you're looking for a good CHOCOLATE cake recipe, this is excellent, but if you're looking for something with a MOCHA flavor, keep looking.

Cheese Garlic Biscuits II

Reviewed: Aug. 12, 2009

These biscuits were excellent! I needed to make something at the last minute, so I thought of these. I had made the kind with Bisquick before, but I don't have any on hand. These were actually better than the ones made with Bisquick! They were more moist and had great flavor. This recipe is a keeper.

Peanut Butter Heaven

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2009

These bars were ok. They didn't have the peanut butter "punch" I was looking for. In my opinion, they weren't worth the calories, and I love peanut butter and chocolate together.

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies III

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2009

These cookies were great! I made them for a get-together and everyone was asking who made the cookies - they loved them! I followed the recipe exactly.

Too Much Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2009

I made this cake for a baby shower. I made individual-sized cakes by baking a 9x13 cake and cutting it into 24 pieces, filling them, and frosting them with ganache. Excellent! Got rave reviews at the shower and my husband's work (he took the leftovers). I also made a round 8-inch (2 layer) cake, which turned out excellent as well.
