This is a very good salad and will become my standard macaroni salad recipe. I took it to a family picnic and it was great. Because of the mixed group I only put one chopped jalapeno in it, and I also, for fun, used extra large macaroni--easier to get onto a fork at a picnic. I had made a big batch and had leftovers, which kept well in the fridge. It was still good when we finished the last of it ten days later.

Surprise Banana Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009

We thought this cake turned out a little heavy, so will be looking for another banana cake recipe. Also, watch the baking time--the stated time was a little too long for my oven.

Chocolate Cheesecake II

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008

This one is a winner. I made it healthier with the following changes: chocolate graham crumbs instead of cookie crumbs, Half 'n Half instead of whipping cream, lower fat cream cheese instead of regular, and I reduced the chocolate chips in the topping to 1/2 cup instead of the 1 1/2 cups. And it was still rich, creamy and wonderful! After 10 minutes in the oven my crumb crust was starting to burn. My oven runs a bit hot, so next time I'll only bake it for 5 min.

Pineapple Angel Food Cake I

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2007

This recipe flopped for me. I think the problem was that I used a two-bag cake mix, and it just didn't whip. I wish the recipe had explained that you need a one-bag mix! Now I have to start over, because the cake turned out absolutely flat, except where it erupted in one corner and produced a hole! I can't really rate it properly until I try it again with the right mix.
