Been making this every year for a few years. Love it.

I made this exactly as directed except for using pecans instead of walnuts. I should have followed the advice of some other reviews and made more of the sugar and nut mixture. And for the top (which becomes the bottom) I would make a crumb mixture of flour, sugar, butter and nuts so that it becomes more melted into the cake. In my stoneware bundt pan it took over an hour to bake. But I brought it warm to a morning meeting and had a lot of compliments.

Mother's Applesauce Muffins

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2011

Pretty good muffins. I used 2 cups AP flour and 2 cups whole wheat. I also sprinkled the tops with a little turbinado sugar. But I was surprised that they don't have a really strong apple taste in spite of using 2 cups of chunky homemade applesauce. Might be the nutty whole wheat that takes away from it, but I wanted it to have some whole grain, so I wouldn't change that.

Strawberry Cream Pie

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2010

Super easy and tasty too. I don't think I've ever made it using a chocolate cookie crust. I've done either a graham cracker crust or a regular pre-baked pastry crust.

Chocolate Cream Pie I

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2010

Not sure I would make this again. It tastes good, but it did not set up that firm and I think it's harder to come together using flour. I ended up pushing the custard through a sieve to remove the lumps. I will probably search for a recipe using cornstarch instead.

Lydia's Cranberry Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2008

I printed this recipe off in 2000 and I've been making it every year since then. Either at Thanksgiving or at Christmas (or both) it makes quite a bit, so it's good for a crowd and people love it.

Jam Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2007

Great easy recipe, I love how you can just change out the flavor with changing the jam. They freeze well and re-heat the microwave for quick weekday breakfast on the run.

Scones

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2002

This is a great recipe, very versatile and easy to make. I definately cut the dough into smaller wedges to get more scones, just cutting them into 8 makes for very large scones and if you're making them to have with other foods, all you need is small wedges.

Cajun Spice Seasoning Mix in a Jar

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2002

This was a great gift, it was perfect for me to add this to my Christmas goodie gifts for people who don't really eat cookies and candy. I made it in mason jars and attached a label. They loved it. I also kept some for myself, it's wonderful on everything.

Can't Get Enough Caramel Cookies!

Reviewed: Sep. 14, 2001

I bake a lot and consider myself to be very good at it. So, I should have known not to add salt, I used unsalted butter, so i thought that salt would be good, I am actually a fan of the sweet/salty taste, but I felt that these turned out too salty for many people's taste, especially because there's baking soda and that's somewhat salty too. It suggested doubling the recipe since they're so yummy and since I was baking them for work, I did that. BUT, I should have baked one batch at a time as it turned out more like granola, which I agree with others, will be yummy on ice cream tonight! I will try these again and I will also cook them longer, the center of it didn't get melted enough and just crubmled.

Homemade Marshmallows I

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2001

This seemed so easy, but they didn't turn out right. They remained sticky and not as firm as i think they are supposed to be. I'm not sure what to expect- I wasn't sure how close to commercial marshmellows they are of it they're totally different. HELP!

Hot Cocoa Mix

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2001

This is such a great addition to my Christmas goodies! But yes, you need a big bowl. I divided mine up into little ziploc bags- 6 servings per bag, then I made little cards on my computer with the serving instructions and taped it to the bag. I put the bag inside a mug and included a little plate of cookies. People loved it!

Chewy Noels

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2001

I included these in my Christmas goodies that I make every year and give out as gifts. They were a hit, plus I ate quite a few while I made them. When you're making 5 or 6 different things, you need yummy but easy recipes and this on is. Many people have asked me for the recipe.
