Sweet Corn Muffins

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2008

We didn't have any shortening in the house, so we substituted melted butter. Had fresh buttermilk on hand, so it was substituted for the milk. We added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. This is called Sweet Corn Muffins and they aren't kidding. It matched well with the Mustang Chili, Northern White and Red Beans and Sauteed Winter Greens that rounded out the meal. May add a bit more buttermilk and decrease the sugar next time. A keeper.

Luscious Lemon Cheesecake

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2008

The only reason we rated this a 4 vs. a 5 was due to having to add extra lemon peel and juice to get enough lemon flavor to the dessert. We also added a teaspoon of lemon extract to the cake and topping and substituted 6 oz of lemon yogurt for the same amount of sour cream. Baking time was just fine, due to putting the cake in a boiling water bath to assist in keeping the cake creamy, rather than dry like some cheesecakes can be. Before baking, always check the temperature of your oven. They can run hot or cold without the correct calibration. All in all, a keeper!

Old Fashioned Red Devil's Food Cake

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2007

This has got to be the worst cake I've ever made. Didn't change a thing with the recipe, a definite mistake and ended up with a couple sawdust patties. A friend asked for this specific recipe or I would have formulated my own. Do yourself a favor and move away from this cake.

Lemon Custard Filling

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2007

Made this along with David's Yellow Cake (substituting the vanilla for lemon extract), Lemon Curd and Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting into a 4 layer cake for my Mom in Law's birthday. She ran away with the cake! Adjusted it by adding an additional 1/8 cup of half and half and 2 more tablespoons of butter after taking it off the heat.

Great use for the mounds of mashed potatoes we had left. Used yams in one recipe. Served them with cranberry relish and a herbed butter cheese.

Coconut Pecan Frosting I

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2005

I made this the other night and it was so good, it should be a sin! Toasted the pecans and coconut to add more depth to the flavor as was suggested by another member earlier in the review.

Pill Bottle Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2005

Simply Addictive. We did cookie baskets for Xmas this year and this was a hit. Had husbands and wifes ticked off that one or the other ate more than their share of this cookie. We stuffed them with the cream provided. Added Cocoa and chocolate to a bit of it for some and strawberry jam for others. YUM!

Original Cheese Tempters

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2004

These are wonderful. Easy to make and made my diabetic father in law smile with glee because he had his own personal basket of christmas nibblers. He took one bite and asked why we hadn't made it for him before this. We cut the salt in half, since he also has high blood pressure.

Best Brownies

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2003

They're alright, but I wouldn't have put the 'Best' title on them. The 1st set were a bit dry. The 2nd were a bit moister after adding an additional egg yolk, but the flavor still didn't stop that chocolate craving. The 3rd batch had 2/3 cup cocoa in it along with some coconut extract and a 1/2 pinch ground cloves and nutmeg to accent the chocolate and was beaten with a whip on our kitchenaid. Now it's a bit better, but still not what I would call 'Best'. imho.

Gelato

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2003

Wow, I feel kind like a trailblazer! ostaff1, thanks for sharing this basic recipe. We changed it up a bit since I had a LOT of half and half on hand we used that instead of the milk and added 2 teaspoons of real vanilla(accept no substitutes on vanilla in my book), but we missed a step and forgot to strain the mix before refrigerating it overnight. It took least than 20 minutes in the ice cream freezer and will double this next time because it wasn't enough for the beaters to really work on. If not for the straining issue, this would have been velvety and smoooth from beginning to end of taste, but because we forgot a film develops on the roof of your mouth and the spoon after eating this for a bit. Still delicious, but DON'T FORGET TO STRAIN THIS! :)

Just made these loaves an hour ago and one of them is already gone! They need a little bit of salt, so next time we're going to salt the egg wash. Thanks Judy Taubert!

French Onion Casserole

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2003

This was GREAT! I will admit we can't have any green pepper and we read the reviews and found that a lot of people were complaining that this came out dry. We added 1/2 cup of minced carrot and minced red onion and a can of half and half. We took the advice of one of the reviewers and broke up the ground beef in tiny little bits, in a huge mixing bowl. Then we added salt and fresh ground pepper to taste and some dehydrated green onion, which has a sharper flavor than fresh. Added the rice, and mixed it in well. Then the vegetables. Tasted it again. In a separate bowl we mixed the soups and half and half. Tasted again and added some nutmeg and beef base. We poured the liquid mix into a glass casserole dish and then added the ground beef/rice mixture, covered it and popped it into the oven and checked it's progress at 1 hour and it was a bit soupy. We left it in for an additional 15 minutes and it came out moist and flavorful. We topped it with Kerrygold Dubliner cheese and ate it with Bread Machine Challah I. The recipe can be found on this website. Ultimate Ease, Ultimate Yum, Easy Clean-up.

Baked Rice Pudding

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2003

This would be a great rice pudding recipe for Japanese cuisine because it isn't very sweet to begin with, but for the american palate this recipe needs too many tweaks to make it good if you go directly from the recipe. Cooking the rice beforehand in just water left the rice very bland. It should be cooked with milk, sugar and cinnamon. This doesn't have a custard consistency, it is more like a binder for rice. It isn't sweet at all. It comes out dry and I didn't leave it in the oven over the time allotted. The look and smell of the finished product was appealing. It's easy to make. It would be good as a breakfast item not a dinner dessert. I made a hard sauce to go with it after tasting a bite of it before serving it.

Bread Machine Challah I

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2002

To solve the crustiness of that this bread produces, we restrain ourselves and put the loaf into a ziploc bag and put it in the refridgerator overnight. Who needs to buy those store bought breads now? :D

Simple White Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2002

As advertised, it is simple to make and easy to change into whatever is needed for the occasion. We started this one off without changing the recipe and it came out nice. Can't wait to start fiddling with it. It's been a nearly a year and we've changed this up a few times for the better. If you want to stick as close to the recipe try this variation out. Add 1 egg yolk, 1 teaspoon of butter flavoring and substitute half and half for the milk. If you have a kithenaid mixer, break out the whip instead of the batter blade. It produces a fluffier batter. Mix it until it puffs up a bit and bake it for the 30-40 mins. We used a 9x9 glass pan. Now if you have gotten to the 40 min mark and the center is still a bit liquidy, turn the oven down to 250 and let it sit on the top shelf of oven for an addtional 10 mins. It will set up well this way and you don't risk burning the edges of the cake. This cake was gone in 1 setting when my in laws dropped in. We've also mixed strawberry jam into the butter/egg mixture and gotten great results and we've done a chocolate version by making the milk into a cocoa mixture. Next up to try will be spumoni. We love to experiment!

Potato Pancakes

Not bad, needs more seasonings. Next time we will have to shred the onions and used 3 different types of onions. Been dreaming about making a filet mignon napolean with them.
