Sheryl's Corn and Crab Chowder

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2013

My husband and I made this last weekend and it was great! We used frozen, left-over seafood - cooked crab and shrimp. We didn't shop to make this - we used what we had on hand and made some adjustments to accommodate our groceries. The recipe still held up strong in spite of the substitutions I made and we thoroughly enjoyed making it and eating it. This is a family-sized recipe. We'll likely half the recipe the next time we make it. If you're craving Cream of Crab or Clam Chowder, give this a try - you won't regret it. It is a wonderful dish and we loved eating it with just saltines.

Scalloped Potatoes and Onions

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2010

It didn't take that long to cook for me, so my potatoes may not have been as big as called for thus the faster cooking. This was yummy and really down home tasting. My family liked it all around. We ate leftovers today for lunch. It is a great simple recipe for special potatoes. I sliced my potatoes on a mandeline, thinly, and I sprinkled about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top. I had checked them after about an hour and ten minutes, put the cheese on and baked about 10 more minutes.

One Bowl Chocolate Cake III

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2009

This is a great chocolate cake recipe. I made a 13x9 cake and topped it with homemade chocolate buttercream icing. The cake was tender, very moist and rich in flavor. It was easy to make and really good. I will make this again and again and will never buy a mix - this is too easy and so much better.

Banana Sour Cream Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2008

I like this recipe. I made three big loaves of this and it is just great. I added toasted walnuts pieces and it turned out great. Took it to work to feed to the coworkers and they all loved it, too. Very moist and even better the next day.

Mom's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2008

These turned out really good. The only variation that I made was to add nuts and mixed chocolate chips: toasted pecans bits - about 1 cup of those and a mixture of chips that I had in the freezer - milk, semi sweet, and mini semi sweet. The cookies cooked nicely and turned out fine. The consistency of the cookie is very tender and not chewy. I had no problems with the texture or taste. My husband said they were a bit sweet but he enjoyed them and said they were good, too. They were easy to make and tasty. I will make again.

Best Brownies

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2007

This is a great recipe. The brownies and the frosting just go so good together. The only thing I did extra was add about 1/2 cup of chopped pecans to the brownie batter before baking. These are chewy and chocolatey. They didn't last long enough. I'll make again soon.

Chili I

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2007

Do make this recipe as it is written and you'll see that is an excellant dish. I was concerned about the various ingredients and my husband didn't want me to use the coffee or cocoa, but I did and it was great! Every family member liked the flavors and consistency. I'll put in less sugar next time as it was just a bit sweet for my taste - but again, it is such a great recipe. Adventurous and yummy!

Chicken In Basil Cream

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2006

My husband and I loved this. I worked with what I had in hand - italian bread crumbs instead of regular, milk instead of cream, and a 1/2 tbsp or so of paprika instead of pimientos. I used fresh chopped basil from my garden and some really good fresh grated parmesan cheese. I was amazed by the wonderful flavor of this dish. We thought it was as good as any italian dish we've eaten in great restaurants. I served it with cheese/garlic tortellini, simple salad and fresh warmed italian bread and butter.
