Really nice combination of vegetable flavors (sweet carrots, tangy tomatoes...). My only issue was the amount of liquid. I tend to like a more solid lasagna, so I will reduce the water (or leave it out) next time. Of course, if I had actually read the description I would have noticed she called it "saucy" and adjusted it in the first place! Overall, great recipe that my whole family loved (and that's not easy).

Spice Cookies with Crystallized Ginger

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2006

So delicious and crispy! I didn't have any dark corn syrup, so I did what another reviewer suggested, using 1/4 cup brown sugar and a whole egg instead of the white alone. And somehow I managed to run out of baking soda without noticing, so I used a heaping tsp. of baking powder. I also rolled them in turbinado sugar instead of white -- beautiful! These are the kinds of cookies that you have to keep eating because that wonderful ginger and spice flavor stays in your mouth. This recipe is definitely going to become a regular thing in my house!

Hershey's ® 'Perfectly Chocolate' Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2005

Oh my soul! I can't figure out why a few others have had trouble with this recipe. I bake a lot -- I sell pies and cakes and cookies -- and this was easily the best chocolate cake I've ever made (no, I do not work for Hershey -- in fact, I used different cocoa). Incredibly moist, dark and delicious. And I will never make any other kind of chocolate frosting again -- it spread SO easily and was really yummy.

Catfish Saint James

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2003

Great tasting recipe! Just a couple of things, though: the amount of breading is enough for three preparations of this recipe (this isn't a guess, I actually used it three times ... I divided it up before I breaded the fish, 'cause you don't want to use breading that's touched the fish, obviously). I kept the extra breading in the fridge b/c of the parmesan. Also, you can use regular milk instead of evaporated, and much less melted butter than the recipe calls for (I think I used 1/4 cup). This recipe was great on red snapper as well! My little girls LOVE this recipe.
