I really liked them. Sadly, my kids wanted their "regular" pancakes instead. I used two eggs and left out the vegetable oil. I also cut back the allspice to 1/2 tsp because I think it can overwhelm the cinnamon.

Grilled Peanut Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2010

I should have read the directions more carefully - I put the sauce on both sides before grilling, and the first side was more burnt than carmelized. Still good, though! I left out the curry powder and cayenne because my family doesn't like spicy food.

Corn and Shrimp Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2010

Good summer meal (served over rice) but not great. A little bland. Had everything but the red pepper.

Florida Strawberry Muffins

Reviewed: May 27, 2010

Very good. Accidentally melted butter instead of softening, but it still worked. Used just 1/8 tsp nutmeg. Watch at the end - mine got a little overcooked.

Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2010

Good! Instead of adding water, I squeezed a whole lemon over the chicken and put the rinds into the chicken cavity. Had to uncover the pan and cook a bit longer than 90 minutes. Forgot the thyme. Pre-browning makes chicken look good!

Potato, Broccoli and Cheese Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2008

Great soup. I used canned chicken broth instead of water and bouillon cubes. I threw frozen broccoli in after the potatoes had cooked for a few minutes. I also only used about a cup of cheese and sprinkled it on the top to make an orange swirl on the bright green soup. Pretty and delicious.

White Cake Frosting I

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2008

It was fluffy and easy to spread. I used butter-flavored shortening, which made it an ivory color instead of pure white.

Egg and Hash Brown Pie

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2007

Very good. I fried up the hash browns and green onions a little bit in a cast iron pan, added some black pepper, then poured the egg and cheese mixture on top. I used Parmesan and Emmentaller cheese, then sprinkled a little colby-jack and 3 slices of cooked bacon on top. Cooked in same pan in the oven about 15 minutes. Very good. A little bland, but that's how my kids and husband like it.

Hash Brown Quiche

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2007

Very good! I made my own hashbrowns by shredding 4-5 medium potatoes. They filled my pie plate quite well. To reduce fat, I sprayed with cooking spray to brown them instead of using butter. Perhaps because I had lots of potatoes, I found 2 eggs to be enough (could have fit one more) but I must admit I eyeballed all measurements except the milk so I may have used extra ham and cheese. My husband and I both enjoyed it very much. My kids liked the filling but not the hash browns. With some fruit on the side, it made a nice, easy lunch.

Scalloped Potatoes and Onions

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2007

Very good! I started slicing potatoes for another recipe, then realized I didn't have cream of chicken soup. I switched to this recipe, then noticed that it needed to bake 2 hours and it was 5:00 when I put it in the oven. So I cranked the heat to 375 and cooked it for a little over an hour. The potatoes were tender and tasted great, but were still white. I'll reheat the leftovers tomorrow to get that great brown crust. I followed the original recipe except for adding a bit of cheddar cheese on top at the very end. I was surprised how rich the sauce tasted despite having no cream and very little butter. I'll definately make this again!
