I really can't compare this to authentic fry bread (as I'm sure there are different home bases varieties), however, it seemed much like hard tack. I think you have to be really careful not to overknead, I would guess. Hmmmm. Not quite convinced about this recipe.

Original Chex® Party Mix

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2011

I put this in my warming drawer in my stove for 1 hour on medium. It infuses the flavor much better than the microwave.

Cheater Pancake Syrup

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2010

I have trouble digesting corn syrup, and I wanted to try this out. I used only brown sugar and vanilla extract only. As I cooled it and bottled it, I put it in a Mom's Syrup used pancake syrup bottle. The kids of course had to try it, and wouldn't go back to the other regular syrup! I gave it 4 stars as I think you don't need the maple flavor, but who knows - I'm thrifty...

Buttermilk Pralines

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2010

Good, but very sweet like a pecan pie! Needs strong coffee, tea, or lots of milk when eating, whew!

Firefighter's Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2010

I would cut down the baking soda a tich as it has that excessive soda flavor. Otherwise a good cookie.

Spicy Shrimp and Grits

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2010

I used less broth as advised in other reviews, used butter, and 1/2 can chiles as I didn't have the tomato mix as stated (I used petite diced toms instead). This was even better on the second day for breakfast with toast. A good way to use the cheaper smaller shrimp always on sale.

Meatball Stew

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2010

I made this with the addition of V-8 instead of condensed tomato soup and a carton of beef stock instead of beef granules. Everyone liked it. I brought it into work and a co-worker wanted the recipe! I had to explain my penchant for using V-8 (I think it boosts the flavor for soups and meatloaf). Try it this way! The gravy is a must for the thickner...I used powdered. Oh, and by the way - I added no salt other than what was in the ingredients, which turned out on the light side of saltiness, which was perfect.

Amazingly Easy Irish Soda Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2009

For all the reviews, I thought this would be ambrosia, but only 1 out of 4 thought it was good and that was the "carb kid." The rest of us thought it was a strange mix of flavors, not quite melding: a bit "sour," sweet and bland. It was easy to make and I followed the recipe to the tee. I don't even think it would have been improved with dried fruit.

Torsk

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2008

This was OK. The kids ate it, but for the amount of sugar it would be better for you and better tasting to use Mrs. Dash....

Texas Lizzies

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2008

This was disgusting. A waste of expensive ingredients. I followed it to a tee and really wanted it to work because it sounded good and I actually like these flavors. But they were akward and seemed to need more of a foundation for all the "heavy" ingredients.

Pina Colada Cake III

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2008

The cake was OK. It had a good smell, but the coconut flavor seemed flat. There are much better cake recipes out there.

Harira

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2008

As good as this smelled, it was bland! I added extra salt at the beginning as suggested in other reviews, but it still tasted like it needed salt (or something). The only change I made was ground lamb. I was excited to try something different and its palletable, tasted healthy, *but* for all of the trouble it was, wouldn't make it again. I really don't know what would fix it 'cause adding anything else probably wouldn't be authentic.
