This recipe is SO good. I use boneless chicken breasts and let them marinate overnight. They are so juicy and flavorful.

Cinnamon-Apple Angel Food Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2008

This was my first try at making an angel food cake from scratch - and it turned out great. I did use whole-wheat pastry flour for the cake flour, and it was still a very light cake (and no one knew the difference). The glaze was great - I actually made a double batch and drizzled some on vanilla ice cream that I served with the cake.

Mom's Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2008

Good zucchini bread. I think it could have used even more zucchini in my opinion. I did use half oil/half applesauce and cut down on the sugar to make it a little healthier. It was very good and moist.

Laura's Quick Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2008

My family loves this chili! It's become a staple at big get-togethers. Like other reviewers suggested, I use one can of tomato soup and 1 can of diced tomatoes. The spices are great. I do change up the beans - mostly depending on what I have on hand. It works well with pinto, black, and kidney (or all three!).

Caramel Chocolate Corn

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2008

This popcorn turned out great - better than store-bought. I air popped my popcorn - which cut back on calories a bit. :) It sounds like a lot of steps, but it is REALLY easy to make. I had some problems with the chocolate though - getting it to go on evenly, so on my second batch, I just left the chocolate off and we liked it even better!

Caramel Filled Chocolate Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2008

These were my family's favorites this Christmas. I didn't change a thing - they are a little time consuming, but worth it! I didn't find the dough too difficult to work with as some reviewers mentioned. I also used Rolos.

Refried Beans Without the Refry

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2008

These beans are great!!! They are healthy, tasty, and easy to prepare. What's not to love!? I do cut back on the salt by about half, and use about 4 cups of fat-free chicken broth. I use two whole jalapeno peppers - my husband likes the spice - but that doesn't even make them that spicy. This makes a big portion - I usually freeze half of it. They defrost well too.

Roast Pork with Maple and Mustard Glaze

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2008

My family loves this recipe. It is simple and elegant. I have made it several times and never had a dry roast. I do baste it about every 20-30 minutes while cooking and it does take longer than 1 hr.

White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2007

These are now a staple Christmas cookie at our house each year. I have to make a double batch. The only thing I change is that I sub Amaretto for the Brandy.

Floating Island Punch

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2007

Yummy - this is going to be my new punch receipe. It was so good - I made two batches for a birthday party and still didn't have a drop left. Adults and kids loved it. I made the receipe at written, but can't wait to try it with fruit punch and rasberry sherbet too.

Creamy White Layers

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2007

The cake flavor was good, but it fell apart when I went to remove it from my pan. I don't know if I did something wrong or not. I tried to use a shaped pan for my daughter's b-day. I can't judge the topping, because I didn't get that far - it still sounds good....

Broccoli Ham Ring

Ship Island Shrimp Dip

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2007

This dip is really good and I received a lot of compliments on it. Like other reviewers, I used fresh shrimp that I sauteed in butter, salt and pepper. I think that is a great addition to the recipe.

Hot Fudge Ice Cream Bar Dessert

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2004

Oh my gosh! This dessert was sinfully good. I wasn't sure when I read it how it would turn out, but I went with all the good reviews and they were right! You don't even realize that it's ice cream sandwhiches. So good. I would think that it would need longer than an hour to freeze nicely - you would want this dish nice and solid.

Mahogany Chicken Wings

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2004

These were so good - definitely not spicy though if that's what you're looking for. I marinated them for the whole morning/afternoon, and then baked them on a cookie sheet lined with foil. As suggested by other reviewers, I took the extra marinade - boiled it for a couple minutes, added a little cornstarch dissolved in cold water, and thickened the sauce. When the wings were almost done, I poured the extra sauce on top and let them bake a little longer. Yummy! I did substitute pure maple syrup for the molasses and added a tablespoon of tabasco.

Lemon Blueberry Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2004

This bread was great - very moist and slightly tart, which I like to balance the sweets I had already at brunch. I made it with fresh blueberries, but did cut the lemon zest by 1/2. Yummy!
