Slow Cooker Stuffing

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2011
Pretty good. Yes, its moist but it does say just to use the amount of broth neededc. I used 2 cups and could've done less, but that's ok. I, too, keft the lid off for the last 45 minutes of cooking. Everyone but me seemed to love the mushrooms in it, but I hate mushrooms. This was a great way to make stuffing for us when the oven was completely full of turkey. Thanks for the recipe.

Princess Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2011
Not bad, but it tastes more sweet than lemony to me. I think it's probably due to my rolling htem in sugar, but they were just too sticky not to. Pretty, though, if you can keep them from spreading in wierd directions, which is what mine did. Easy to make. Thanks for the recipe!

Linda's Cranberry Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2011
Good cookies. Very sweet from the white choc chips, so I'd almost rather have actual cranberries instead of the dried, which are sweetened. At least, mine are! Otherwise, nice flavor and pretty cookies. They don't spread so I flattened mine with the back of a spatula. thanks for the recipe!

Mini Pumpkin Butterscotch Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2011
Not bad. These are really sweet from the butterscotch, but I agree that pumpkin and butterscotch go well together. I'm glad there's only a bit of butterscotch in this, though! Very easy to make, and I used my small cookie scoop like anohter reviewer to get the perfect amount into the mini cupcake liners. Thanks for the recipe!

Chocolate Chip Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2011
Very chocolatey with all the mini chocolate chips. They don't spread much at all--I guess bc the butter is already melted. I used my small cookie scoop and got a ton of cute little choc chip cookies. They taste good as well, and the chocolate lovers on my cookie tin list should love them. Thanks for the recipe!

Tender Crisp Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2011
These make a ton of cookies, so be prepared to be baking for a while! I think they are great. I used them to make spiral snowman cookies (you basically roll the dough then roll into a spiral and decorate for snowman) that I plan to finish decorating with a friend and her 3 1/2 yr old daughter. for those, they are a bit crumbly, but as long as they are cold and you roll them well, these cookies work easily enough. They don't have a ton of flavor, true, but they're sugar cookies, which are generally decorated with frosting or sugar or whatever, and I think they are perfect for that. They aren't very sweet at all, so you can go to town wtih decorating, so that's great! They rise well and bake out so allow for some room on the cookie sheet. They are great for what I wanted. Thanks for the recipe!

Coconut Gumdrop Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2011
These were fun, and very good. I used jelly beans instead of gumdrops, but I'll try it with gumdrops instead. They were a tad crunchy when all was said and done, but I put them all in a plastic bag to freeze and after a day in the bag they are softer but still taste good. I so goofed and forgot the coconut, but I didn't realize it until just now when I went to review them and they came up as coconut gumdrop cookies. Oops! I'll try them again with gumdrops AND coconut next time. Thanks for the recipe!

Pumpkin-Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2011
Good cookies. I don't like rounded cookies so I sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and pressed flat with a fork to get the flatness I wanted. It worked well. These cookies do not spread or move from where you put them on the baking sheet, so be aware. They are more cakelike cookies. I think the added cinnamon sugar was a good fit; I really liked the end result. Thanks for the recipe!

Blackberry Yummies

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2011
These are really good. I added more blackberries since I didn't want to find another recipe for 1/2 a cup, and it worked well. There were tons of blackberries throughout. I completely screwed up the baking bc I accidently turned off the oven in the middle and didn't realize until it took an extra hour to bake. Oops! My bad. Thanks for the recipe!

Pioneer Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2011
Good cookies, but I really didn't think that they were very oatmeal-y and I found myself wanting that. So, I'd add more oatmeal next time. Otherwise, these were easy to make, easy to eat. I wouldn't mind making them again. Thanks for the recipe!

'Chinese Buffet' Green Beans

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2011
Nice green beans. I put in huge slices of garlic and added more, which made me happy since I like garlic. I thought the sauce was a bit too much; lightly coated would have been a bit better, but I did find it good. I thought I had oyster sauce but when I went to put it in I couldn't find it so I used half fish sauce and half teriyaki instead. Not sure if it's the same, but I enjoyed it. Thanks for the recipe!

Blackberry Pastry Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2011
Very nice bread, but I thought it needs more blackberries. I added sugar, cinnamon, and flour to the blackberries and I'm glad I did so bc they can be tart and the additions balanced out the blackberry flavor for me. The bread is really really sticky and I ended up making 2 braids instead of 3; I just didn't feel there was enough filling although I'm sure there'd have been enough bread to do so. So, I'd double the filling next time, use a tad more flour (although moisture in bread is variable, so the stickiness could change depending on the moisture in the air) and maybe top the bread with cinnamon or sugar or both. All in all, nice presentation, fun to make, and a good, potentially great recipe. Thanks for the recipe!

Bramblewood Blackberry Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2011
I thought this turned out really well. The crust would have been crumbly if I hadn't added more water. . . .I know some pple feel that you can't adjust baking recipes, but flour takes on the humidity of an area, so you have to be able to adjust. So I did. The crust is basic, and it tastes fine. It's not very flaky though, so bear that in mind. I added some flour to the filling so it would firm up a bit. Worked great. I really like the taste of this pie. Thanks for the recipe!

Brussels Sprouts and Barley Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2011
Hmm, so this is a LOT of soup. I made a half batch and we had it for dinner last night and are having it for dinner tonight. And we will STILL have lots of it leftover. So . . .just an FYI. If you want to try a little, perhaps you would want to quarter it. It's not bad, actually, and certainly full of veggies, which is what we're going for right now. But I have to say that I don't really like brussel sprouts, and this soup isn't going to change my mind about that. Happily, they are easy to pick out if you decide you don't like them but have someone else in the house who does like them (bf) and they don't make the soup taste like cabbage or anything (I don't like cabbage, so that would be a downer for me). I made this in the crock pot, and it was done after 4 hours on high, which is exciting bc you could probably let this cook on low while you are at work all day. (Well, that's exciting to me anyway). It didn't really thicken up much with the crockpot, though, so keep that in mind if you like thick soups--if you do, you are better off sticking to the recipe. All in all, a nice fall/winter soup chock full of veggies and easily adjusted to taste. Thanks for the recipe!

Home Made Top Tarts!

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2011
Nice pastries--and so easy. I made just one of these to use up some pie dough leftover from a pie, and I skipped the icing and sprinkles since I'm not a fan of frosted Pop Tarts. Perhaps because it was homemade, I had to cook a few minutes longer for a total of 10 mins, but that's no big deal. I'll make again when I have extra pie dough--or perhaps I'll make when I want Pop Tarts and we don't have any in the cupboard. thanks for the recipe!

Calzone Rolls

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2011
I don't know why I never thought of doing this . . .fun, and cute. A little messy when cutting due to the sauce, but I had to clean the kitchen anyway, so no big. The dough is very nice--light, soft, good consistency, and rises very well and fast. I did use my bread machine for the dough, which was easy, but it wouldve been just as easy to do it by hand or in the Kitchen Aid. I'm running out of certain ingredients, so I left out the peppers, mushrooms and olives, but they worked out fine anyway. I made 8 of them and put 4 each in an 8x8 pan so I wouldnt' end up with undone middle rolls and burned outer rolls. They baked up perfectly in 20 minutes. I used the rest of the dough to make a calzone (followed the instructions for a braid using the Calzone recipe from here). Thanks for the recipe!

Almond-Topped Fish

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2011
Not bad, but I thought it had too much mayo, and I didn't use the full amount. I don't have onions (and they'd be wasted in this house anyway--neither of us are huge fans), so I thought I'd use onion powder instead . . .but I completely forgot. I used old bay instead of the seasoned salt and mixed everything together with the mayo, then slathered it on the fish. I just eyeballed everything. Bf really liked the fish; I thought it was fine. Thanks for the recipe.

Favorite Buttermilk Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2011
Very good bread. I like how well it rises; bf loved how soft it was. I almost killed my KA mixer wtih this; I really thought I'd cut the recipe by 1/3 but I had the right amount of milk for the full recipe and I wanted to use it up, so I went ahead with it. If you have a full size KA you might be fine; mine is a smaller Artisan. Luckily, my KA survived and I ended up with 3 gorgeous loaves of bread. I made one into a round braid bc I didn't want to wait until my other loaf pans were free (I have two pans) and it turned out well after baking on my pizza stone. Thanks for the recipe!

Honey Buttermilk Oatbread

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2011
Nice bread. Soft like a white loaf but chewy and with a hint of whole grain flavor too. I thought it was the best of both worlds but wasn't counting on bf agreeing; surprisingly, he really liked it although he muttered the crust was a tad hard. Very nice, easy loaf. I made my own buttermilk with lemon and milk. Thanks for the recipe!

Greek Lentil Soup (Fakes)

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2011
Pretty good. I had to tinker a bit since I didn't have carrots and I really wanted to make this for dinner last night. I used red and orange bell peppers and canned tomatoes instead . . .probably not Greek, but I thought it worked. I liked it okay, but I forgot the vinegar suggestion completely, so I'm going to try that with the leftovers tonight. Bf thought it was okay but ate all of it, so it must've been good enough! I'm not sure about lentils in general, but I'm willing to keep trying them, and this was a good recipe to start with. Thanks for the recipe!
