Annie's Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2008

A little time consuming, but worth it! I cheated and served with store-bought cinnamon pita chips. I used strawberries, apples, kiwi, and blueberries with sugar-free strawberry preserves. My guests couldn't get enough! This would be a nice, healty replacement for syrup over pancakes or waffles, or as a topping for low-fat frozen yogurt.

No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2008

This pie was rich and delicious! I used an Oreo cookie crust, light cream cheese and cool whip, and added about 5 or 6 chopped up peanut butter cups, and only a splash of milk. I may try to use a little less sugar next time as it was extremely rich. But well worth the little amount of effort that went into making this. The kids and adults both raved about it!

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies I

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2008

OMG!!! Based on other reviews, I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 butter flavored shortening. I used peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips to get a "peanut butter cup" taste. These were awesome! Soft, good texture, and amazing taste! This is my new favorite cookie recipe!

Hot Water Pie Crust I

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2008

This was my first attempt at making my own crust. I had a little bit of troulbe with rolling it out, only because I think it should have chilled longer. But the taste was excellent! Added about 1 1/2 tsp of sugar, and used regular shortening. Only used one crust in a 9 in. pan, so I cut the remainder with a cookie cutter, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar mix, and baked for about 13 minutes. If the crust is your favorite part of the pie, this is awesome! Nice and flaky crust recipe.

Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2007

I took several suggestions from other postings and made the following changes. I used 1/2 c. of fresh lemon juice and the zest from one lemon, 1 c. of milk, used 3 T. of poppy seeds, decreased the oil to just over 3/4 c., and cut the sugar to just 2 c. I did not use a glaze at all, and I think the lemon flavor is just right! Good dense texture (which I like in a bread), and not too crumbly or too sweet. I made these 2 days ago, and it is better today than yesterday. This would be a good base to add blueberries or raspberries to in place of the poppy seeds! I may try that next time. Overall, very good.

Kalua Pig in a Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2007

I made this for my daughter's 5th birthday luau party and it was wonderful! Tweaked the seasoning a bit; 1 1/2 tsp liquid smoke with 2 1/4 tsp sea salt for each 3lbs. of pork. I used part pork butt roast and part pork sirloin cuts (based on a recommendation from my butcher). I preferred the texture of the pork sirloin cuts, but since they are leaner cuts, I did add some water (maybe 3/4-1 cup) to the bottom of my roaster. Cooked at 275-300 deg for 5 hours, shredded into the juice and kept warm. YUMMMM!

Oatmeal Cake III

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2006

My mother has had this recipe for over 30 years, and it is the absolute favorite of my entire family! My husband has even learned how to make it, and does so for me every year on my birthday. Definately worth trying!! Just be sure to watch the topping closely so it doesn't burn.

Chocolate Crinkles II

Reviewed: Jan. 9, 2006

Only made one change. Added 1 tsp of peppermint extract in place of the vanilla. Baked for 10 minutes, and they came out like a moist, chewy brownie. The Best!!
