I have made this cake for years, always getting great reviews. The only thing I change is to mix in an 8 oz. pkg. of cream cheese with the pudding and milk mixture. It's best when refrigerated overnight, making it great for potlucks.

Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2009

I have been cooking for 50+ years and this is the best cornbread I have ever made!!! I use this recipe often. Since I am only cooking for two, I usually divide the recipe between 12 regular muffin cups. I bake them about 15-20 min. When cool, I put them in a freezer bag and freeze. When I need cornbread, I just pop a couple in the micro for a minute or so. My husband likes the outside toasty, I like a soft moist center, so this works perfect for us. Whether you use the 8" square pan or muffin cups, this is the perfect recipe.

This coffee cake is perfect. I have made it several times for my Sunday School class and there is never any left!! I made is for my husband's ESL class and now I'm trying to translate the recipe into spanish since several of the ladies asked for it (in spanish)!! I make it with no changes and it's perfect every time.

Chicken with Asparagus and Roasted Red Peppers

Reviewed: May 2, 2009

I cut the chicken in thin slices (makes it easier for my husband who has Parkinsons) and sauted it quickly in a little olive oil. I then added the broth and proceeded with step two of the recipe. I covered the skillet while cooking, about 10 min, and it came out perfectly. Served it over pasta. For our taste, I will add a little more garlic and some basil next time. I have fresh asparagus and this is definitely a recipe I will use again and again.

Soft Christmas Cookies

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2009

This makes a wonderful cookie. I just finished a triple batch of valentine cookies. Coming from a dairy background, I only use butter, and did lower the temp to 350 since I was using a convection oven, baked them 9 min. I was sure to cream the butter until it was truly light and fluffy (having a heavy duty stand mixer is a benefit) and rolled them out on a silicon mat, eliminating the need for much flour. They hold their shape and stay soft, a plus when making them for children. I frosted some with Sugar Cookie Frosting and drizzled some with chocolate. They taste great and make a wonderful presentation.

Red Velvet Cake I

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2008

Made this cake using the suggestions by other reviewer to use 1c oil, 2c sugar and 4T cocoa. Used a 9X13 pan and baked it for 50 min. Was perfect, light and moist, with great flavor. The frosting is the perfect finish. Took it to a New Orleans night at chuch and it disappeared. I got great reviews!!
