Absolutely FABULOUS chocolate cake recipe. I had been using the Hershey's chocolate cake recipe for a couple of years now but this one beat it out hands down. From now on this is the only chocolate cake recipe I'll use. I had 6 different people taste it and they were all amazed at how rich, moist, and delicious it was. It is also to be noted that I made this cake without eggs and it was STILL great. I replace the eggs with Ener-G Egg Replacer and it worked out perfect. Thanks so much for a great recipe. :)

Heavenly White Cake

Reviewed: May 1, 2005

While looking for a good white cake recipe I stumbled across this. There were many poor reviews that mentioned that this cake was crumbly and "cornbread" right. I think I'm an excellent baker so I have to admit that I thought maybe they had made it wrong, but that it would be good when I did it. It wasn't. This cake was quite a disappointment. The taste was there, but the texture was so poor that not even a decent flavor could save it. It is edible. It isn't BAD - just disappointing. I won't be making it again.

Holiday Punch I

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2002

This was great! But man oh man did it make a lot of punch. I didn't even really consider the quantities before starting and I was having to jump back and forth between several containers to make it work. Overall it tastes great though!

Unbelievable Rolls

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2002

I just tried these for the first time on Thanksgiving Day. I was short on time and I was able to get them finished quite fast. Unfortunately they came out a little more dense and "biscuity" than I would have liked, and the flavor just isn't quite there. However they are still good, and with some melted butter I know they will be enjoyable with our little feast.

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2002

Wonderful recipe. I modified it significantly because I was looking for a base recipe for something else. I made what I called "Monster Cookies". I used one cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 cut of peanut butter chips, about a half a cup (maybe a little more) of chopped walnuts, about 9 diced up caramel candies and 1/4 a cup of cocoa. I also didn't use eggs in my recipe, as my boyfriend and I are vegetarian. It still came out amazing, I was shocked at the results. I will be entertaining with these at every possible opportunity.

Rich and Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2002

This recipe was amazing. I winged it on all the measurements and omited the butter. I started the recipe out with sauteed onion and diced carrots (this is what I put in place of the butter, explain that logic!), later adding quarted roma tomatoes. Creamy and delicious. :)

Black Bean and Salsa Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2002

This the easiest soup I have ever made and my boyfriend loved it! We have also omited part of the broth to make it into a black bean dip. Excellent with tortilla chips :)

Best Lemonade Ever

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2002

This was a delicious and easy lemonade recipe. I combined the juice from 1lb of strawberries to it - it made a great, sweet addition to an already refreshing drink. Personally I was too impatient to wait for the syrup to chill and blended everything right off the bat. I served it over ice and it was wonderful! Thank you Jo. :)

Chocolate Kiss Peanut Butter Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2001

I made this for Thanksgiving and everyone went absolutely crazy over it. Sadly enough I even forgot to cook the crust before pouring the chocolate in. Because of that I had to bake it with the chocolate already inside and it came out slightly undercooked. Despite all my clumsiness everyone still loved it. A very tasty (and EASY) recipe. I've had 4 people ask for the recipe. I used vanilla pudding combined with about a 1/4 a cup of cocoa and melted about 5-6 hershey's kisses into it. I decorated the top of the pie with Hershey's kisses and sprinkled cocoa. It looked great.

Quick Breakfast in a Pita

Reviewed: May 10, 2001

I've made a dish like this before but my boyfriend doesn't eat eggs. Crumbled up, sauteed tofu (with garlic, onion and spices) makes a delicious subsitute for the egg. Yum yum!

Chimichurri Sauce for Steaks

Reviewed: May 10, 2001

Chimichurri sauce is wonderful. However, I am a vegetarian and wanted to point out that this sauce is delicious on mushrooms. My favorite dish being grilled portobella mushroom fajitas.
