I love this recipe! I did make some minor changes though--I used two envelopes of the hollandaise sauce (one Knorr's and one McCormick which totaled 2 oz.). I thought it needed to be a bit thicker, so I did mix a small amount of corn starch (mixed with 1/2 and 1/2). Finally, I added just a touch of parsley. It was wonderful and my son, who doesn't eat soup loved it.

Maryland Crab Soup

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2009

I am also from Maryland and although I made a number of adjustments, this is a very good basic recipe. Here is what changed: I used crushed tomatoes instead of stewed (28 oz can), used Birdseye frozen veggies, which has green beans, corn and peas (2 small bags), 1 1/2 cups cubed potatoes, 1/2 cup chopped savoy cabbage, 2 cans (not cups) of beef broth (low sodium), 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 T. Worcheshire sauce. 3 Tablespoons of Old Bay was perfect for me, but for someone who isn't from the area, it might be a little too spicy. I cooked it much longer on low (about 2 hours), but I don't serve it until the next day so all of the flavors can develop.

Carrot Cake III

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2004

I made this recipe for a party and it was wonderful! I followed what others have said--decrease the powdered sugar in the icing, increase the cinnamon by a 1/4 tsp (I used the Pampered Chef cinnamon), and I added a little nutmeg as well. I made mine in two 9" pans, and next time, I will make more icing. My husband ordered carrot cake at a restaurant this week and flat out told me mine was better!

Butterscotch Bread Pudding

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2004

I made this recipe for a luncheon at work and everyone raved about the recipe! I have made it twice since then, using different types of bread and it has come out wonderfully each time. I used the entire package of butterscotch chips, though.

Clone of a Cinnabon

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2002

This is a great recipe! I made it over the weekend, and everyone loved it. I am going to try and make the rolls smaller for my son's class next week (maybe cutting the dough in half and then rolling it). Very simple, and pretty full-proof. Thanks for the recipe.

Carol's Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2002

I made this recipe for a baby shower that I hosted, and everyone raved about it. I left out the grapes because I was serving it on croissants. The twenty minute prep time is just plain wrong, but it was worth the time spent preparing the dish. I will make it again, and I have to send the recipe to several people who attended.

Apricot Cream Cheese Thumbprints

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2001

I love this recipe! We had a cookie exchange and my mom made this recipe and it was the best cookie at the party! I normally don't care for filled cookies, but the cream cheese makes it delicious. The one thing that my mom did differently to make it easier was to roll the balls in powdered sugar before she pressed them with her thumb. It made them a little sweeter and much less sticky.
