Tiramisu II

Reviewed: May 14, 2010

Made this for DH's bday and it turned out fantastic!! I used the soft ladyfingers, doubled the espresso, subbed some of the mascarpone for a cream cheese mix, AND used coffee Patrón (tequila) as my liquor. AMAZING!! The cake is not done unless you let it meld together overnight.

Too Much Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009

55 minutes is waaaaaay to long to be baking this cake..... in a 9x12 glass pan anyway. I'm not sure if it's correct for a bundt cake. I only put that sucker in for 45 mins and my cake was burned. All that oil also made it too oily. Boooo! Luckily, I bought extra ingredients just in case. Second time around, I baked for however long the box told me to, reduced the oil to 1/2 a cup, and perfection! Goes AMAZING with the German Chocolate Cake Frosting II from this site. The frosting and cake can still be warm when adding the frosting. BIG time saver!

German Chocolate Cake Frosting II

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2009

OMG! This frosting was DELISH!! I made a german chocolate cake for my girlfriend's surprise b-day party, and it was such a hit! People came up for seconds, thirds even. I tubed a bit of chocolate frosting on top to liven the aesthetics a bit and I wish I could've taken a pic and posted it up. Definitely a keeper!

Quick Quiche

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2009

I've been making different variations of this recipe for the past year, and it has always been a huge hit!! i love adding chopped tofu and mushrooms or spinach to make it healthier, and my husband gobbles it up ALL the time. (BTW, he hates tofu so I never tell him it's in it until he's finished. I don't think he even cares anymore ;p)

Ninety Minute Cinnamon Rolls

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2009

I could not believe the success I had in making these! I wasn't sure if I had to proof the yeast first, but I just added it in the mixture dry and they came out fine. Only problem was that the dough didnt double as quickly as it was supposed to, but I had time. I think I'll substitute coconut milk and add semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut flakes the next time I make these. Be careful with these when in the oven. I wanted to check them after 25 mins and didn't get to them until after 28 mins, and that was all it took to overcook 'em. THey were still great, just a tad browner.

Easy Garlic Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2007

I've been making making this butter before finding it on Allrecipes. MY DH loves it. I use a butter/ olive oil mix, tons of garlic, a handful of chopped cilantro or parsley and a dash or two of salt. It's always made in bulk so that I can toss it in the fridge for later use. It can be chucked in the microwave for a few seconds to melt for the garlic chicken. We use it on bread products before toasting to make a yummy garlic bread as well.

Cream of Mushroom Soup I

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2006

OMG! this ws sooooo good! I didn't have thyme and used milk. It was still perfect. I needed this soup for the green been casserole that I wanted to make. I almost change my mind about the casserole to have just the soup. Yes, it was THAT good.

Perfect Turkey

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2006

I tried this recipe last year and it really is as good as they say!! Moist, juicy and tender white meat. This year, I'll brine just the same and try the Cajun Turkey recipe on this site.

Mushroom Saute

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2006

I made this dish once. I even went out to buy nutmeg just for this dish. The nutmeg completely ruined it. It was sweet and had a little aftertaste that didn't sit very well either.

Funnel Cakes I

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2006

The recipe used too much salt. I would halve it next time. At first, I thought that it was just me, but everyone was telling me that it tasted a little salty. We tried to cover it up with tons of confectioner's sugar though. Besides that, it seemed perfect. I used a ziploc bag, I cut the hole a tad too big but found a way to make it work. Will use again...with less salt.

Pancakes I

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2005

I barely make anything from scratch and found the results of these pancakes heavenly. I added 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips They were so fluffy and light. Never again will I use boxed mix. The only problem I had was getting them to come out even colored and pretty. (I almost always have that problem) I burned my first one, but it was still delicious.

Spicy Garlic Salmon

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2004

I love this salmon recipe. But I had to double most of the ingredients since the original recipe was little bland and not spicy enough.

Easy Creamy Peppercorn Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2004

This was a pretty easy and yummy recipe. But I should've broken up the peppercorns, it caught me a little off guard when I crunched into it :)

Angel Hair with Feta and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Reviewed: Sep. 30, 2004

I followed the lead of others and took the advice of TRIPLEJ28 and sauteed the garlic and onions. I also added yllw & grn squash, portabella mushrooms and sliced olives. Used red cooking wine instead of white and everything was perfect. My husband is actually taking the leftovers for lunch at work; something that he never, ever does.

Kabob Marinade

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2004

My husband loved it. I lessened the lemon juice and soy sauce a little and sat it in the fridge with my tenderloins for 24 hrs and it came out sooo delish! I would add a little more garlic and some spicy sesonings next time but believe me, altering this recipe is not needed.

Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccini Noodles

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2004

It was okay. The sauce came out liquidy and grainy. The taste wasn't bad either. I used a garlic and herb fettucine, which made a huge difference. I'll try to tweak this recipe until it comes out perfect.
