I pretty much made this soup exactly to the directions. I doubled the recipe to make more. Only thing I did different was when I doubled it, I used one can of tomato puree and 1 can of crushed tomatos. I like my soup hearty. However, I did not double the milk when I doubled the serving. I did what other reviews said and added the milk AFTER it was done. This is the best tomato soup ever!

Rum or Bourbon Balls

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2009

I made these exactly as instructed minus the nuts (co-worker is allergic to tree nuts). They came out great! I have, however, renamed them drunken balls. lol Wow are these things strong! I didn't give them a week to marinate as suggested. After tasting one the day after made, they were so strong they didn't need to sit for a week! Some have suggested to cut back on the booze. I guess it's personal taste because I liked them just fine with the amount in the recipe. I made my 1st batch with bourbon (which I really like). I'd like to try spiced rum next. Great recipe!

Chicken and Mushroom Chowder

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009

The only thing I added to this was some salt. Other than that, I made it exactly the way it stated. I don't know why people found this bland. There's nothing bland about it (unless you're into really spicey foods). I made this for a dinner at work (I'm a shift worker). I made it the night before for the next night's work. I teased myself with a taste of it. I wanted more but had to hold back! lol The recipe is great just the way it is.

Kettle Corn

Reviewed: May 11, 2008

I made this exactly how the directions said along with other reviewers' tips for testing 3 kernels for oil rediness and the 3 seconds on the burner between shaking (I did 3 seconds on the burner & 3 seconds of shaking). It came out perfect! You do have to let it cool or else you'll be eating a gooey ball...lol. I guess I was a lil' impatient the 1st time but I couldn't help myself. As it cooled, it was perfect. I had just enough kernels to do this batch. I have to run out to the store for more!

Sarah's Banana Bread Muffins

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2008

I made this recipe just as the instructions said. I added a bit of coconut and a 1/4 tsp of rum extract (figured if I'm going to add the coconut it needed the rum extract! lol) They were not too sweet at all as previous reviewers said but I guess it all depends on personal taste. I brought them to work and the girls loved them.

Creamy Asparagus Pasta

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2006

Very good dish! The only thing I did differently was add 4 cloves of garlic (love garlic!), used a different pasta because I had it in the house, and used heavy cream (because I didn't pay attention when I bought it at the store). I also steamed the aparagus instead of boiling it.
