Favorite Corn Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2012

Great cornbread; not overly sweet, but I wouldn't say it was savory, either. I made as directed with the exception of substituting the same amount of buttermilk for the milk. Delicious and I will be putting this in my recipe box to make over and over. Thank you Carol!

Roasted Okra

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2010

Excellent! Thank you so much for sharing with us this simple way of preparing okra! I was looking for a way to fix some wonderful okra I had just purchased from the farmer's market and this was exactly the way I like to prepare many veggies, but I never would have thought of for okra. As many reviewers have already stated, it took the "sliminess" out of it and crisped it up. Do not hesitate to try this ridiculously simple recipe!! Thank you again for sharing!

Simple Scones

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2010

The texture on these scones was A+! These were so much better than "Grandma's" recipe on here (the one I have been making for a couple of years). My only objection was the flavor; it was just a little flat, in my opinion. I followed the recipe to a "T", but next time, I would like to try the orange/cranberry combo. I will stick with this recipe from now on, simply because the texture was so lovely. Thank you for sharing this!

French Baguettes

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2010

I have made this many many times since I found this recipe because it is quick to mix up and yields two decent size "baguettes". While this is good bread, I find the texture is off from what a real baguette should be, as well as the crust. I will continue to make it for bread, but will continue my search for a more realistic baguette. Thanks for sharing!

Chocolate Crinkles II

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2010

Wonderful! Made exactly as directed. They were very easy to put together and with ingredients I always have, which is a huge plus. They were almost like a little individual brownie and were still nice and soft the next day. My son said that these just might be the best cookies I have ever made, which is really saying alot. Thank you so much for sharing this, Ingrid!

Homemade Pan Rolls

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2010

I was slightly disappointed with the texture of these rolls, but maybe it is because I used butter instead of shortening; I won't take off for that since it was my choice! The flavor was really great, but I found them to be slightly crumbly, instead of fluffy, like I really wanted. I followed all of the rising times (all three of them). I would consider trying these again, just because the taste was really lovely. Thank you for sharing this with us, Puddin Pie!

Banana Oat Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 31, 2009

Lovely, tender muffins!! I loved the slight "hint" of oatmeal flavor and the oatmeal gave it a wonderful, light chew. They were not overly sweet, which I really appreciate. I could see substituting brown sugar for some or all of the white sugar called for; that would be a great taste. Overall, excellent muffins that will stay in my muffin rotation! Thank you for sharing, Karen

Cinnamon Swirl Bundt Coffee Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2009

I had such a "taste" for cinnamon coffee cake when I made this; maybe I set my sights too high! I can say that this had a wonderful "crumb" and was nicely moist. However, the "swirl" was almost non-existent; I would recommend maybe doubling it. Overall, a nice cake, but not what I was looking for. Thank you, Ruth, for sharing this!

Oatmeal Pancakes II

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2009

Scrumptious, divine, delectable...the list goes on and on! These are wonderful! I made exactly as written and they resulted in a lovely fluffy and very gratifying pancake. I love the fact that they have just a hint of oatmeal flavor! Thank you so much for this champion of pancakes!!

Whole Wheat Pancakes

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2009

Really good pancakes! I found the batter to be a little too runny, so next time, I would cut back on the buttermilk a little. Also, I'm not sure why, but the pancakes were pretty flat. Otherwise, these were extremly tasty and I didn't feel quite so guilty eating them knowing they were made with WW flour and wheat germ! Lovely texture. I just might make this my new pancake recipe! Thank you, Jen for sharing this one!

Cherry Pie IV

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2009

Wow! Perfect cherry pie! I followed the filling part and found it to be right on in terms of sweetness and thickness. I am lucky in that sour cherries are at their peak right now, so I used one kilo of fresh cherries. I added the almond extract and thought I had made a big mistake; it was so "extract-y" tasting, but luckily, it all combined lovely once it baked and the true sour cherry flavor came through. I used the recipe for "Butter Flaky Pie Crust" from this sight instead of the one listed for this recipe (personal preference) and even made a lattice top! It was beautiful and tasted as good as it looked. I am truly happy with this recipe and it made my 11-year old super happy on his last day of school before summer break! Thank you, Kenan!

Butter Flaky Pie Crust

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2009

Thank you a thousand times over for this fabulous recipe! This was my first attempt ever to make a pie crust. I was very careful not to overwork the dough and to keep the butter and the water ice cold. I was pretty paranoid during the whole process, but it turned out super flakey and light! Had this not turned out, it could have turned me off of ever trying to make pie crust again, but thank goodness it came through for me and just might have opened up a whole new can of worms--now, I'm thinking of sugar cream pie, raspberry pie, apple... Thank you, Dana!

Quick and Easy Pizza Crust

Reviewed: May 25, 2009

THE BEST!!! I can't express enough how happy I am that I tried this recipe!! The convenience of it can't be beat! I always used to use another recipe on here for pizza crust and always had to wait for it to rise which prevented us from having pizza last minute. This one, however, is so quick and easy! I doubled the recipe (which doubled nicely) and used all-purpose flour (didn't have bread flour). I am hooked and there will be no need to look at any other pizza crust recipe; this is IT!! Thank you so much!

Beat and Bake Orange Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 24, 2009

What a delightful cake!!! I "upped" the orange zest in the cake part to heaping tablespoon and the same amount for the frosting. I would have to say that even a little more zest in the cake portion would not be overpowering. It is such a beautiful "sun-shiny" cake---it just screams HOT SUMMER DAY!! I refrigerated mine and served it slightly cold--very refreshing! I am an orange cake fan and this one has really won me over! Will make it again and again!! Thank you so much!

Hershey's ® 'Perfectly Chocolate' Chocolate Cake

Fluffy Whole Wheat Biscuits

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2009

These were good! I was surprised at how quickly I was able to make them. I would have given this 5 stars, but as I ate them, I noticed a slight "tingly" sensation on my tongue; the only reason I could think of was because of the 4 teaspoons of baking powder. I would make these again; maybe if I ate them with something (instead of just butter and jam) I wouldn't notice the tingle! Thank you for sharing!

Brooke's Best Bombshell Brownies

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2009

I hope I am done shaking from my sugar high enough to write this review! WOW, are these RICH!!! I have to say that I have never been able to taste the richness of butter in a brownie recipe before like I did in this recipe! Don't get me wrong, it's wonderful, but just so darn rich! I never thought I would complain about the "richness" of a brownie before; what's wrong with me??!! Anyway, good, dense brownie; not for the lightweight brownie lover! Slightly too sweet; thanks for sharing this with us!

Restaurant-Style Coleslaw I

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2009

Really nice and creamy coleslaw. I didn't add as much sugar as called for (personal preference). We don't have "slaw mix" over here, so I just used grated cabbage--no big deal. It was nicely seasoned. Thanks for this recipe; would make again.

Pan Fried Whole Trout

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2009

I liked this. It didn't lend anything to the overall flavor of the fish, but the skin did have a nice crunch to it, thanks to the cornmeal. Good, but nothing special. I would do this again, maybe and add a few more spices to it. Thank you for sharing!!

Cathy's Banana Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 22, 2009

Heavenly!! This is a wonderfully moist bread--just what I had a craving for! I did as someone suggested and instead of all white sugar, I replaced it with 1 cup of brown and the other 1/3 cup with white. I would highly recommend this delicious bread. Thank you so much, Cathy!!
