After-Thanksgiving Turkey Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2012

My family looks forward to this delicious soup every time I roast a turkey I love the recipe as written, but this time I substituted fat free half and half for regular half and half and they didn't even notice!

Butter Crunch Cookies

Reviewed: Jun. 29, 2011

This cookies really are "stupid good," as another reviewer's daughter put it! I got this recipe from a friend, have gotten many compliments on the cookies and have given out the recipe many times. I recently brought a double batch to a women's retreat. They didn't look that impressive, sitting there among all the other desserts, and sat untouched for a long time. I have to admit, I was a little disappointed. Then someone tried them! Then she was telling everyone, "You HAVE to try one of these! These cookies are amazing!"

Chocolate Lovers' Favorite Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 21, 2011

I've made a version of this cake before and loved it. I misplaced my recipe and made this recipe for my son's Cub Scout Cake Walk. Paired with the Satiny Chocolate Glaze also from this site he won a blue ribbon for "Most Delicious Looking Cake."

Watermelon Fire and Ice Salsa

Reviewed: Jul. 19, 2010

This was great! I made it for my sister in law's birthday party and it was very popular. People couldn't believe it was made with watermelon!

Scalloped Corn I

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2009

I have made this recipe for years, and it is a must for Thanksgiving in my house! We love it, and we like it even better when I use one can of creamed corn and one can of regular corn (drained).

Wonderful Banana Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 21, 2009

This was a big hit with my family. I made it as written, but only cooked for 40 minutes in a preheated oven. It was cooked perfectly and is very moist! My son wants me to add chocolate frosting next time. :-)

Neat Sloppy Joes

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2009

This recipe is perfect as written. Truly the best sloppy joes I have ever had. And if the guests at my son's birthday party are any indication, the best they have ever had as well. I tripled the recipe and only have enough leftovers for dinner tonight. I'm looking forward to it!

Winter Fruit Salad with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2009

I made this salad as a side dish for my son's birthday party this weekend and it was a big hit. I substituted bleu cheese for the swiss cheese and served it on the side. It was so good I barely got any and had to tell my brother to step away from the salad so I could try some! (He had fixed himself a GIANT plate of it) Definitely a winner!

Salsa Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 12, 2009

I made this recipe last night (as directed) and was glad that I doubled it--everyone in my house loved it! My daughter asked, "Are we having that chicken tomorrow night for dinner, too?" When I said yes, she said, "Good! It was awesome!" We're all looking forward to leftovers tonight.

Sweet Potato Casserole I

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2008

This recipe was excellent! I received lots of compliments and will never make plain old baked sweet potatoes topped with butter and brown sugar ever again!

Chicken Spaghetti II

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2008

I've never had chicken spaghetti before, so I don't really have any basis for comparison. But my family and I really enjoyed this recipe! Even my picky/spice-phobic 6 year old son chowed down without a word and when he was done said "Yum! This is a keeper!" The only adjustments I made were that I used a whole package of spaghetti (16 oz.), used all the spicy liquid goodness from the tomatoes/peppers and added some onion powder in addition to the garlic powder and freshly cracked pepper.

Mexican Rice II

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2008

This is a great, easy and cheap recipe for Mexican rice. My kids were surprised to find that they liked it even better than the rice at our favorite Mexican restaurant!

Creamy Rice Pudding

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2008

Made this last night. I should have made a double batch, because we all loved it! I left out the raisins and topped with cinnamon. Also, I think it's better when it's served chilled.

Parmesan Baked Potatoes

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2007

Having suddenly realized that I was out of parmesan cheese, I used romano cheese, and it turned out wonderfully! I also added salt and fresh cracked pepper. Also, I flipped the potatoes over, added a bit more cheese and continued cooking them for about 10 additional minutes. My husband raved about these potatoes!

Cheesy Ham and Hash Brown Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2006

This is also excellent as a potato side dish with ham--just omit the ham from recipe. My whole family loves it and people ALWAYS request the recipe. I'm making it for Christmas!

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies I

Reviewed: Jan. 24, 2006

These cookies were very good, but were not the best chocolate chocolate chip cookies I have had. I thought they could have been more chocolatey. I think next time I will use a whole cup of cocoa powder.

Mexican Spiced Turkey Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2006

My family LOVED this soup! They all said it was the best soup they ever had. I added a can of black beans, used a 15 oz. can of corn instead of the frozen and used a can of petite diced tomatoes instead of the tomatoes with chilies. It was perfect! Made this way, it was not too spicy for the kids to eat. Bravo!
