Chicken Tortilla Soup I

Reviewed: Mar. 22, 2011

Great recipe! Easy to throw together on a busy weeknight and had great flavor. I used 2 14oz cans of diced tomatoes as that was all I had on hand and it turned out great. thanks for the recipe!

These were very good! Very soft and cake-like. Instead of raisins I put craisins in 1/2 the batter and also tried chocolate chips in 1/2. Both variations were good. I added additional spices to taste per other reviewers' suggestions.

Banana-Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2010

I make banana bread almost every week. This was a great recipe to change things up a bit! I did make some adjustments based on other reviews/personal tastes. However, the base recipe is great and it turned out very moist and yummy!

Pecan Sandies

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2010

I used butter instead of margarine and 1/2 brown and 1/2 white sugar. These were good warm but a few hours after I baked them, they were so dry they just crubled. I don't think I overbaked them as I didn't even let them get brown or golden. Oh well, they were good when dunking them in milk.

Rick's Special Buttercream Frosting

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2009

This was a good recipe and worked well for piping. I don't like super sweet frosting so I decreased the sugar to 6 cups. I also used 1 1/2 cups butter and 1/2 cup shortening. Since I didn't add as much sugar, it didn't seem to need as much liquid. I added just a few tablespoons of whole milk and it was light and fluffy!

Beer Cheese Dip II

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2009

I used Blue Moon and the flavor of the beer was overpowering to me. I added more cream cheese and some seasonings to mellow it out. It was a hit at the party and got better after it set for awhile. I think it would have been even better hot. I would use a lighter beer next time.

Beer Dip I

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2009

I thought the beer flavor was overpowering - but maybe it was the type of beer I used? I used Blue Moon. Took the advise of others and only used about 1/2 of the seasoning packet. I ended up adding some mayo to lessen the beer flavor and added a can of green chiles which added some good flavor.

Barbecued Shredded Beef

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2009

Good base recipe. I used a 7lb roast and still only used 2 beers. Cooked in the crockpot on low for 8-9 hours. Added a few of my own seasonings and blend of bbq sauce after I shredded it. Went over very well at my Super Bowl party!

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2008

This was good - very soft and moist and definitely better if you let it sit a bit! I did make the following changes: 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 cup brown sugar and 1 1/2 cups white sugar. Next time I would probably omit the water and just add more pumpkin puree. Thanks for the great recipe!!

Ranch Oyster Crackers

Reviewed: May 27, 2008

These are good crackers. I used a little more than half of the dressing mix and it was very flavorful without being too salty. I omitted the lemon pepper. I added these to some other snacks such as pretzels and cashews for a party snack mix.

Ham and Fresh Basil Pinwheels

Reviewed: May 27, 2008

Good base recipe with lots of room for modifications. I substituted turkey for the ham in some of them, added provolone cheese and spinach in some, and also drizzled balsamic vinaigrette in them to add a bit more mositure and zest.

Rich Chocolate Frosting

Reviewed: May 27, 2008

Delicious!!! I halved the recipe and it made enough to frost 24 cupcakes. I only used 2 cups of confectioner's sugar (even though half the recipe would call for 4 1/2 cups) and it was plenty sweet. I think the full amount would have been way too much. I also substituted 1/2 of the milk with strong brewed coffee to enhance the chocolate flavor.

Carrot Cupcakes with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing

Reviewed: May 26, 2008

These are amazing!! I made them along with 3 other flavors of cupcakes for a birthday party and these were the first to go. Not too sweet and the tops were a little crunchy which gave great texture! I added the confectioners sugar slowly and to taste. I did not use all that the recipe called for and I think it would have been way to sweet had I used all of it. After I iced them, I sprinkled the the tops with cinnamon and garnished with white chocolate shavings.

Sandy's Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: May 22, 2008

I wanted to make cupcakes with this recipe. The batter was delicious but I had to throw all the cupcakes away! They sunk in the middle and were so crusty/crunchy on the edges. Maybe I will try again if I am making a regular round cake.

Apple Pumpkin Muffins

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2008

These are great!! I will have to try the healthier recipe changes as some other reviewers have listed! I used 1 cup of white sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar, added some pecans, and added oats to the streusel topping! The muffins needed a bit more baking time, but that might have just been my oven. They turned out very moist! Yum!!!

Baked Creamed Corn II

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2007

I ended up modifying this recipe quite a bit, but this gave me a good starting point for my own version. This recipe as written would be way too rich I think. I used over twice the amount of corn, used less cream (and switched that to half & half) and the same amount of cream cheese and my version was still VERY rich! I also gave mine a mexican flair with green chiles and mexican spices.

Spiced Pumpkin Seeds

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2007

I think I cooked mine a bit too long as they tasted a little too toasted...but overall it was a good recipe.

Corn Dip II

Reviewed: Jul. 2, 2007

I used a bag of frozen white corn and used a 1/2 pkg of cream cheese and cut the sour cream to 1 cup. I also had to add more spices as it was a little bland. This is also great with salsa served on the side! Oh - and definitely serve it hot!

Bronco Burger

Reviewed: Jul. 2, 2007

These were great, especially topped with lettuce, pickles, and bbq sauce! These are huge burgers, so you can make more burgers than the recipe states if you make them a bit smaller.
