Pignoli Cookies I

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2009

These are so good, very light and like a macaroon. I made them for my brother's family that has gluten allergies, I hope they like them as much as I did. Very easy to make in the food processor. Highly recommended!

Pumpkin Raisin Scones

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009

Delicious! I followed the instructions provided by Baker-@-Heart which produces traditional wedge shaped scones (except I use dried cranberries for the raisins and I divide the dough in half and flatten each half to about an 8" round and cut 8 wedges). I just baked my 3rd batch of these and I can't wait for them to cool a bit to eat one.

Apple Crumble Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2005

Easy and delicious pie. I liked that the real taste of the apples comes through and is not masked by a lot of sugar and cinnamon, but is still plenty sweet. I used half white and half brown sugar when topping the apples. I also liked that this pie wasn't runny causing the bottom crust to get soggy. The baking time was pefect to bake the apples and the bottom crust throughly without burning the topping. I used 5 cups of Jonagolds and have to say this is one of the best apple pies I have ever made.

Apple Cake IV

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2005

This recipe is delicious. I picked it because of the 5 star rating and the rave reviews. It turned out pefect and very rustic looking with the sugar/cinnamon topping. I used my stand mixer to beat the eggs and sugar, 15 minutes on high is just perfect for drowning out the kids. It was also perfect for me to peel and slice my apples. I used 4 very large Jonagolds. I used the full amount of sugar but cut the oil in half and used 1/2 cup of applesauce. The cake was perfectly moist without being too heavy. I do have to agree with another reviewer to be sure to test the center with a toothpick. I started with 50 minutes and ended up baking it the full 60 minutes. I definately will make this again. Thanks for the recipe!

Caramel Frosting I

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2005

Excellent! Very easy to make and it tastes sooooo good. I wanted to make a pourable frosting so I only added the first 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. I also had to add some extra milk because after it cooled a bit it turned into a big glob. I put it on a apple bundt cake, a perfect combination. Thanks for the recipe. I definately will be using this again on many different things.

Blueberry Potato Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2005

I have mixed reviews about this cake. I liked that it was old-fashioned and it tasted good but it kind of reminded me of blueberry pancakes without the syrup. It was very moist but was too wet in the center. I added more time than the recipe stated & it still was too dense. This recipe could benefit from some kind of light cream frosting or something served on the side. My husband would not try this. Once I told him there was a mashed potato in it he refused.

Blueberry Crumb Bars

Reviewed: Jul. 21, 2005

These are delicious! They are best a little warm with vanilla ice cream melted on top. The crust and crumble topping are great and stay crunchy days later. I used fresh blueberries the first & third time I made these and black raspberries the second. The blueberries is still my favorite. I followed the recipe exactly but I used butter flavored shortening sticks (makes them stay crunchier longer!). This is my new favorite summertime dessert. I still want to experiment with more fresh fruit, I'm thinking of tart cherries. Mmmm!

Playgroup Granola Bars

Reviewed: May 19, 2005

These were really good. I added about 1/4 cup of butterscotch chips and 1/8 cup unsalted sunflower seed along with the raisens that are optional in the recipe. You can very easily exchange other ingredients you have on hand and they were very easy to whip up in a hurry. Thanks for submitting the recipe.

Carrot Cake III

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2005

I have made this carrot cake many times and I love it. It's very moist and delicious. I prefer using walnuts instead pf pecans though. My husband doesn't like carrot cake (the thought of carrots in a cake) so I share this with family. I did almost get him to try it by telling him it was a spice cake, but he figured it out. Thanks for the great recipe.

Apple Dip

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2004

I love this apple dip, it tastes just like caramel. I tried the suggestion for using strawberry cream cheese, it was good but a little too sweet for me. I think I like using plain light cream cheese. I also added a 1/2 cup of chopped honey roasted peanuts to mine. YUM!

Peach Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2004

Very Very good bread, I got compliments all around! The batter was really thick and I added a small amount of water to it. I baked mine in four small loaf pans for about 40 min. I turned up the temp. to 375 for the last 10 min. because they were so wet in the center. They didn't rise very much but the bread had a nice consistency and great flavor. Thanks for the tasty recipe.

Deep-Dish Peach Custard Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2004

This pie tasted very good and was surprisingly not very sweet. But be sure to put a lined baking sheet underneath the pan when baking it. I made two pies and both ran over A LOT. You could probably get away with two pies from one recipe of custard filling.

Easy Alfredo Sauce I

Reviewed: Jul. 21, 2004

This is an excellent recipe, my two year-old LOVES this. I've made it with shrimp and broccoli and chicken and broccoli. The store bought alfredo in a jar doesn't even compare. This is loaded with calories and fat, but it's well worth the splurge every once and a while. No problems with it getting thick enough either. One last tip, use fresh grated parmesan not the pre-packaged shredded stuff. I had trouble the second time I made this with getting the cheese to melt smoothly when I used the store shredded cheese.

Hershey's ® 'Perfectly Chocolate' Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: May 18, 2004

This is the best chocolate cake recipe. It's very easy and moist. I have only baked mine in a 9x13" baking pan (just follow the baking time in the recipe then gradually add to it until a toothpick comes out clean). I love to frost mine with a cool whip pudding frosting. Try "Cool Whipped Frosting" on this site submitted by Shirley.

Ground Beef Shepherd's Pie

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2003

Good recipe. Instead of green beans I used some carrots and peas. I also used frozen mashed potatoes and didn't add an egg to it, and it worked fine.

Strawberry Cake II

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2003

This cake was delicious! I baked mine in a 9x13 inch pan for about 35-40 min. and I used a cream cheese frosting and added about a cup of fresh strawberries. My husband is a strawberry lover and especially loved it. It was such a hit that this is what I am using for my daughter's 1st birthday cake! Pink frosting and pink cake, perfect for a little girl!
