Barbie Doll Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2010

Just a hint - I always take the legs off of the barbie before I stick it in the cake. There is no need to leave the legs on and sometimes it can cause the cake to split. This is a fun cake!

This was a delicious pasta salad! I am only giving it 4 stars because it required a few modifications: I reduced the oil to 1/4 cup and added some veggies - snow peas, carrots, and sweet peas. I also reduced the sugar to 1 tablespoon. It would also be great with toasted almonds, mandarin oranges, or crushed ramen noodles. While the adults in the house loved the salad, my kids did not - I think the flavor was just a little too strong. I really loved this salad and will be making it again!

Hot Chicken Salad III

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2007

This was a very good chicken dish. I made a few changes. I added some pineapple tidbits, sliced grapes, and used fresh mushrooms. Instead of using buttered bread for the top, I just sprinkled some bread crumbs on (I was trying to save on calories). This dish also tasted great the next day. I would recommend toasting the almonds before adding them to the casserole - it gives them a great flavor.

Burger or Hot Dog Buns

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2007

These buns turned out great! They were the perfect weight for hamburgers or sloppy joes. I used half whole wheat flour and they still turned out light and fluffy. I did let the dough rise before I formed the buns. It was a little difficult to get the shape right. I think the best way is to roll it out and use a round cutter. I am planning on making a double batch of these to make PB&J sandwiches for school to stick in the freezer. My kids loved the bread.

Real Italian Calzones

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2007

This was a delicious recipe! I added some diced red peppers, diced ham, and used mozzarella cheese. I made 8 small calzones instead of 2 big ones. The crust was beautiful and even my kids loved them! We will definitely be making these again. It will be fun to experiment with different fillings.

Taco Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2007

This pasta salad was delicious! I also added olives. I would recommend cubing the cheese as the shredded cheese clumped together. This salad was tasty and delicious.

Ricardo's Pizza Crust

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2005

This is a wonderful pizza crust recipe. My family never liked my homemade pizza until I tried this recipe. It is very soft but also crispy on the outside. I used regular flour and I prebaked the crust for about 10 minutes. Delicious!

Mom's Excellent Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Jun. 14, 2000

This cookie recipe had way too little flour for the amount of shortening and butter. My first batch was very greasy and dark brown. I added more flour and the rest of my cookies were really good.
