Beth's Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2008

As others have said, this is the same as the recipe on the Quaker box except that part of the butter is switched to shortening (making them unhealthier) and except for the addition of cloves. Because of this, I was disappointed that this is in the top 20 recipes for this website.

Pizza Casserole

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2008

This recipe was alright but it didn't really taste like pizza, and the flavor wasn't anything awesome. I didn't have pepperoni so I added mushrooms. I also added oregano, basil, and parsley. I used egg noodles as specified, but I think someone else recommended rotini and I agree. If I make this again, I'll alternate layers of the beef noodle mixture, a flavorful cheese blend (maybe mozzarella, feta, and parmesan), and Italian bread crumbs.

Pasta With White Clam Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 30, 2008

This recipe resulted in WAY too much liquid for my taste. I probably should have started the sauce long before the pasta to allow it time to cook down some. I ended up ladling the sauce over individual servings of pasta and didn't even use half of it. Also, my kids complained that the sauce was too "fishy". In addition to the Parmesan, I crumbled some feta on top and it went really well with this dish. Served with shrimp. In all this recipe was alright, but I doubt I'll make it again.

Heart Attack Eggs

Reviewed: Sep. 6, 2008

Of course this recipe is delicious, this is the only way for a real southerner to eat bacon and eggs.

Chocolate Banana Cake

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2008

This turned out ok. I followed the recipe on my box but I substituted one cup of the water for the cup of bananas. My box called for 1 1/3 cup water, and I should have used banana in place of all of the water, because the banana flavor wasn't very strong. Like some other users I made two layers. I iced between the two layers and included a layer of banana slices.
