This recipe is very good -- my children enjoyed it as well, which is always positive testimony. I used only 1/2 cup butter - it was plenty moist, and I cannot imagine using a full cup. I think it would be much too greasy. Also, as per the other reviews, I decreased the amount of sugar. I used 1/4 cup splenda and 1/2 cup sugar - it was plenty sweet for us - still tasted like cornbread. Next time I will try increaseing the splenda and decreasing the sugar. Also, I used the entire 4 oz can of chilis. Very good recipe -- will make this again.

Chocolate Cobbler

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2010

This is the perfect easy chocolate fix. Seriously - this is so easy, you don't even have to stir it! I didn't have any self-rising flour, so I used regular flour, 1.5 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt. Simply divine. Tastes like a runny chocolate pie with a crunchy brownie crust. Slurp it up, lick it up - just enjoy it! Really sinful with vanilla ice cream.

Country Apple Dumplings

Reviewed: Jan. 24, 2010

This dessert is good beyond belief. You must get over any delusions you might have about making this healthier. Yes, it is loaded with butter and sugar - but oh, it is a marvelous thing. I added about a tsp of vanilla extract to the melted butter/sugar mixture. When you prepare it, the poor little apple rolls will look as if they are drowning in liquid. But have faith - let them bake. WOW - just WOW. This is sinfullly rich - but you absolutely must have it with vanilla ice cream for the complete experience. The crescent rolls bake up sort of crusty on the top, tender and gooey with the butter-dew sauce on the bottom. Thus the "dumpling" effect. And you simply must use a spoon to slurp up all the saucy buttery goodness. Seriously - if you are wondering, "Should I try this?" then all I can say is, "Yes, you really should." But if you don't, then that will just leave a few more apples and crescent rolls out there for me........joy on a plate.

Cream Cheese Frosting II

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2009

This frosting is perfection if you love cream cheese. If you like a super sweet, really stiff frosting, then this might not be your thing. I let my butter and cream cheese sit out on the counter all evening while I prepared other recipes. Of note, I used one regular cream cheese and one neufchatel - wonderful results. By the time I was ready to make frosting, everything was super soft and easy to mix. Took about 5 minutes in my stand mixer. I did increase my powdered sugar to about 2-1/2 or 3 cups, just until I got the consistency I wanted. The taste is out of this world. I believe anyone who enjoys cream cheese frosting will like this recipe - if you want a little different flavor, all you need to do is tweak it a bit - but the basic foundation is here. Great recipe!

Flatlander Chili

Reviewed: Sep. 20, 2008

My family - 3 kids included really enjoys this recipe. We leave out the celery and bell pepper. I use one 15 oz can tomato sauce, one can of petite diced tomatoes with green chiles and the I add the tomato juice until it's the consistency we like - usually about 2/3 of the total recommended amount of juice. Then I just adjust the spices to our tastes - I add a smidge more cayenne and salt. Other than that, I follow the listed amounts. We love it!

Cafeteria Macaroni and Cheese

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2008

I think this macaroni and cheese is classic. Been making it for years now. It is very similar to the baked mac & cheese you might get at a good cafeteria. The texture is chewy and cheesy. The crusy edges are perfection. This is NOT a creamy, velveeta sort of mac & cheese. If that's what you want, you won't like this. I have always followed the recipe to the letter, and it is perfect - my friends love it, my family loves it. The "bite" that it gets from the dry mustard, the hot sauce and worcestershire is great - not too much, so it isn't really spicy. It's just really tasty! This is good, old-fashioned, southern, potluck ladies' mac & cheese. YUM!
