Apple Cake with Buttermilk Sauce

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2011

This cake has a wonderful texture and flavor. However, I agree with another reviewer, I would definitely add additional apples. I've made this twice and even after oiling and flouring the bundt pan, I cannot get the cake to come out. The directions don't say to let the cake sit for 15 minutes b/4 inverting but I think this is probably the problem. I will make it again and hopefully come back with a 5 star.

Blueberry Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2011

Made this, but in a bundt pan. Turned out great. Didn't change a thing. Added frozen blueberries, but forgot to dust them in flour so they were all at the top of the cake (when I turned it out of the bundt pan). I have more zucchini so I'll make another and freeze it. Yum. Thanks for this recipe!

Buttermilk Pound Cake II

Reviewed: May 27, 2011

I've made this several times, with great reviews every time! I'm going to make this tonight, slice the cake in half and put a slurry of strawberry filling from the "Frosted Strawberry Shortcake" recipe with sliced strawberries and whipped cream on the top. Yum, this is my kind of strawberry shortcake. None of that sponge cake junk for me!

Beautiful Salad

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2011

Boy was this good. Even my 8 yr old granddaughter couldn't get enough (I didn't tell her it was spinach). All the ingredients went so well together. I couldn't find honey-roasted sliced almonds so I used honey-roasted cashews and chopped them. Definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Herbed New Potatoes

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2011

I made this recipe last night for an anniversary party and it was delicious. Next time, I will make the following changes: After boiling the potatoes, I will cut them in half and make twice the amount of sauce (delicious)! We served the dish with butter on the side, as they were a little dry. Definitely worth making again with these two changes.

Chocolate-Covered OREO Cookie Cake

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2009

I ended up using two boxed brownie mixes and I didn't have any heavy cream so I didn't make the ganache, I just used chocolate icing. It came out really good.....but very, very rich. This would serve a lot of people because you only needed a small helping. I will make sure I have all the ingredients next time and make it as written. yumm.

Chocolate Cookie Cheesecake

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2009

I made this recipe two nights ago, unveiled the creation last night and tried it. I didn't have time to decorate it, so the picture is the "raw deal", but still nice. I have my grandmother's cheesecake recipe that has been in the family for years and next time I'll use that recipe instead. I did like the chocolate cookie crust and the ganache on the top. Next time I'll only put the cookie crust on the bottom of the pan rather than half-way up the sides and I won't make as much of the cheesecake filling as the cake is at least 4" high and very rich. Nice recipe and I will definitely try it again with the changes. Thanks for sharing!

Double Chocolate Brownie Cake

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2009

Wow! This was a great big hit. As another reviewer's suggestion, I used the shiny chocolate glaze, which was perfect. I roasted pecans, chopped and sprinkled on top. Instead of using water in the cake mix, I used coffee and I also put a little instant coffee in the glaze. It was absolutely delicious. I brought some into work today and they all went crazy (even though it was almost 3 days old...it was still yummy). Thank you for this recipe!

Hearts of Palm Dip

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2009

I made this yesterday and made no changes. My grandkids didn't even know what it was (they're picky)and they loved it. I'll keep this recipe as one of my favorites!

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2009

I made this pot roast on Sunday and it was so easy and very good. I will definitely make this over and over. My pot roast was a lot larger, so I added 3 cans of soup and 2 pkgs of the onion mix. The gravy was perfect.

Easy Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu

Reviewed: Feb. 12, 2009

Very easy and good. I used swiss cheese instead of the string cheese, and used a thin sliced deli ham (several pieces). It did need a sauce, so I made a white gravy and drizzled a little over each chicken breast. I will definitely make this again, but do recommend the changes.

Peanut Butter Bars I

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2008

I tweeked the recipe just a tad, which I shouldn't do the first time around. It's hard to give it a correct review if you don't "go by the book" so to speak. I used extra chunky peanut butter and added an add'l 2 tbl to the graham crackers. I doubled the recipe for the chocolate topping. It really tastes like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Next time I'm going to try creamy peanut butter, roll up the graham/peanut butter mixture into balls, dip them into the chocolate. Great recipe! Thank you.

Turkey Spaghetti Pie

Reviewed: May 1, 2008

I made this dish last night with left over turkey (cubed in small pieces)rather than ground meat. I used the ricotta cheese instead of sour cream as another reviewer suggested. My husband loved it, so I know he'll be requesting this often.

Spanakopita (Greek Spinach Pie)

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2008

This was very good. I thought the spinach would be a little thick, so I put only half the spinach mixture on top the 4 layers of filo, then added an add'l 4 layers of filo, then the remaining spinach mixture, topped off with 4 layers of filo. I couldn't tell there was filo in the middle though. I will make this again. Very tasty!

Pesto Cheesy Chicken Rolls

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2008

I made this dish twice last week. Once to test the recipe and then again to take over to my daughter's for her and the grandkids. Great! The only change I made was to add two slices of prosciutto on top of the pounded chicken breasts. Very, very good. This is definitely a keeper.

Albondigas Soup I

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2008

Yummy! I changed it up a little to my taste. I added chopped fresh spinach (about 1 1/2 cups) to the meatballs and browned them in olive oil (I doubled the recipe)and I added about 2 cups of fresh french style string beans cut into 1" pieces. I had all of this in my crock pot and about 15 min b/4 serving, I stacked fresh spinach on the top. It was absolutely wonderful. Another keeper! Thanks.

Shrimp and Mushroom Linguini with Creamy Cheese Herb Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2008

I had baby bella mushrooms and shrimp in my frig, plugged it into search and this is the recipe that came up. This was a fantastic recipe! The sauce was very, very tasty. I always try to follow the recipe as listed the first time....then I can decide whether I need to tweek it to my liking. No tweeking here, it's great! Only thing I did different was I used whole wheat linguini. Thank you for this recipe, GREAT!

Individual Beef Wellingtons

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2008

I only gave this recipe 4 stars because the puff pastry turned out really soggy on the bottom. I did brown the fillets in a hot skillet before wrapping them, but next time I'll heat the cookie sheet (as another reviewer suggested). I served it with pepper crusted baked potato and skewered shrimp, yum. I will definitely try again. Thank you for this recipe.
