Perfect Berry Shortcakes

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2011

I'm sorry to say this, but my friends and I were not a fan of this recipe. It was very dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly and the results just were not good. Sorry. (This review is for the shortcakes only.)

Italian Spaghetti Sauce with Meatballs

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2011

The best meatballs I've ever made! I haven't had a chance to try the sauce yet, but the meatballs are delicious. I pan fry them since my husband likes them to be crispy on the outside. I've taken to dropping two or three into my store-bought sauce while it heats up, which adds a nice flavor to the sauce. I can't wait to give the sauce a try, I'm sure it's delicous!

Fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2011

Just what I was looking for! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out delicious. My husband told me it tasted like the inside of a peanut butter cup. I used this to frost chocolate cupcakes (used a family recipe) and couldn't have been happier with the results. Definitely make sure you have a glass of milk handy! Thanks for sharing this yummy, easy recipe.

Simple White Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2011

THE best white cake I've ever had! I've made this twice now and have had rave reviews both times. I used this recipe for my grandmother's 80th birthday cake and she told me that she wants me to make her another one for her Christmas present! To those who complain about it being like cornbread, I have to wonder if maybe your baking powder is bad? I had to throw out one cake because mine had expired. The cake didn't rise and it looked and tasted like cornbread. Problem solved after buying new baking powder! I added about 1/4 cup milk after reading the reviews, but other than that followed the recipe. This is a wonderful cake, thank you so much for sharing your recipe!

Delicious! I made this yesterday and we can't get enough of it. I followed the advice of other reviewers and used half a cup of applesauce and half a cup of oil, 2 cups white sugar and one cup brown. I also added craisins and chopped walnuts. Yum! It was so easy to make and everybody loved it.

Peppered Bacon and Tomato Linguine

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2010

Excellent! I did as others have said and discarded most of the bacon drippings, just using the thin layer that clung to the pan to saute the onion. I left out the garlic because my father-in-law is allergic. This is a super easy meal that my whole family loved.

Buttery Corn Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2010

Yummy! I've made this recipe a few times now and each time it comes out wonderful. The first time I made it, I doubled the recipe and took it to a dinner at my friend's house. I got rave reviews! I was told a few times that one of the things people liked about it was that it's not as gritty as the recipe from the back of the cornmeal box. This is a really delicious recipe, thanks for sharing!

Janet's Rich Banana Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2010

Absolutely delicious! I brought this to a sit-and-knit and it was a huge hit! It was the first thing gone. There were about 7 kids there, ages 2-9, and they could barely stop eating it long enough to telling me how good it was. The mother's were raving, too! This was my first time making banana bread and this recipe was so simple. I did take the advice of several reviewers and used three mashed bananas and added some cinnamon and nutmeg. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe!

Buttery Cooked Carrots

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009

YUM! I made these last night with steak tips and they were delicious! Even my picky 22 month old ate a few. Just as easy as the SteamFresh veggies I usually make, but so much better!

Basil Chicken over Angel Hair

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2009

Delicious! I'm always looking for ways to stretch chicken, and I've found that chunking it and then throwing it over pasta is a good way to do that. This recipe is so easy and so yummy, everybody in my family loved it. I did use 2 cans of Italian seasoned diced tomatoes, semi-draining both. I also added a dash or two of red pepper flakes. Served with a salad and we had a yummy, healthy meal that the whole family enjoyed. Thanks for sharing!

Barbeque Beef Casserole

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2009

Yummy! I doubled this recipe, kept one for my family and took one over to a friend who was recovering from surgery. My family gave it 10 stars, and my friends said her family loved it as well! This will definitely go in my recipe box, as well as be added to my list of dinners that I can make for family and friends in need.

Marinated Spicy Pork Chops

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2009

This recipe was alright, but we didn't love it. It was very tender and moist, so I gave an extra star for that. I will probably try this again, but with a few changes.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies II

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2009

Amazing recipe! I would give these 10 stars if I could! Yes, the recipe is a bit confusing, but they were worth it. I used 1 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, I will probably do half and half next time. I also added chopped walnuts. They were chocolate-y without being too sweet. I made them to take to a friends house and they were devoured very quickly. These will definitely be my go-to cookies from now on! Thanks for sharing.

Apple Strudel Muffins

Reviewed: May 14, 2009

Delicious! I gave this recipe 4 stars instead of 5 only because I tweaked it a bit. I took the suggestion of other reviewers and added 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg, also using 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar. I used 2 apples, one chopped (Gala) and one grated (Granny Smith). They tunred out AMAZING. I made 6 regular sized muffins and 24 mini-muffins. My husband could not stop raving about them. These are going to become a staple in my home!

Pillow-Soft Dinner Rolls

Reviewed: May 13, 2009

This recipe is amazing! I made these for my husband's family a couple nights ago and they were a huge hit! I did end up using quite a bit more flour, but they turned out fantastic. Everyone raved about them, which I thought was pretty good considering it was my first time making rolls from scratch. I'm pretty sure this will become the one thing I am asked to bring to family dinners!
