Peppermint Pinwheels

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2009

I inserted a sucker stick before popping these into the oven. Kids love them! I do think more peppermint was needed.

The only thing wrong with this bread...it is never enough. So moist on the inside, crispy on the outside and then the bannana flavor takes it to a new level of heaven. I get excited when the local grocery has over-ripe bannans on sale. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2009

I used this recipe to make ovals and then dressed them with buttercream frosting, a strip of fruit rollup, mini chocolate chips (about 8) a tiny bit of orange jellied candy...all randomly placed to make melting snowmen.

Pumpkin Pancakes with Nutmeg Whipped Cream

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2009

Made these without the cream and they were a hit at our annual family Christmas brunch. Just enough spice to be cheery.

Brown Family's Favorite Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2008

I did not change many things on this recipe and happy about it. With Wondra flour being so fine, I increased it to 4 tablespoons for the topping and the only nuts on hand were pecans. I cannot imagine walnuts giving the same aromatic taste and plan to use pecans on the best pumpkin pie ev-ver.

The World's Best Turkey

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2007

Took this to a work pitch-in. I prepped the turkey the night before (rinse, dried, and skin pulled up.) At 3:30 I woke up turned on the oven...shoved the butter under the skin, seasoned the skin (I used Cajun seasoning), shoved onions in the cavity, used white wine instead of champange and went back to sleep. Not only was this a great novelty item to bring in late August, but it was so tender (thank goodness) I was glad I forgot a carving knife...just to watch the gals ooooooooh and ahhhhh as the breast meat fell off the bone!

Clark's Quiche

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2007

I omitted the ham and the mushrooms and used mozzerella, swiss and parmesan cheeses. After reading the previous reviews I baked my frozen crusts for 5 minutes before adding the yummy stuff, including Omega3 rich eggs. Nice way to get a green leafy veggie in for the day. Great recipe for a midweek dinner!

Mom's Turnips

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2006

ok....I didn't know that hubby didn't like turnips and I made this recipe to go with cornish hens and wild rice. It was perfect and HE ATE IT! The brown sugar gave such an umph to dullness of turnips and you never can go wrong with BACON! Thanks for sharing.

Currant Jelly Wiener Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2006

Served this at Christmas dinner 2005 and was hoping to have leftovers. We didn't, I think my husband thought they were dessert. I followed the recipe to a T and it was just like I remembered from the 80s.

Strawberry Pretzel Salad

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2006

Everyone was raving out this in one of my MSN groups and I didn't think it had the wow factor. My father loves strawberries and as he ate this he made a face of dissatifaction. Being the man of few words...I knew what it meant.

Sfingi

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2006

The honey does it!!!! Not only does it help hold the powdered sugar on but it makes you crave more and more!!! I made them due to having extra ricotta cheese from making lasange and he held the plate as we shared them. Better than any donut holes I ever had,...light airy YUMMY.

Homemade Refrigerator Pickles

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2005

PICKLES? NOPE, not here...salad topping! I peeled the cukes, made thin slices of onion and chunked the peppers. Poured the "hot mixture" over them and cooled in fridge a couple of hours. Served over a lettuce mix and VIOLA...some sassy salad we had. P.S. I used 3 cucumbers, 1/2 onion, 1/2 a green pepper and made 1/2 ther recipe for the marinate. GOTTA TRY THIS!

Quick and Easy Alfredo Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2005

wow and wow!!! This sauce was easy to make even with a year old holding onto my pantleg. I added some cooked chicken (2 boneless breasts, cubed) and 4 oz. steamed broccoli. I tried white pepper instead of the black...more of a bite and it kept the white sauce, WHITE!
