Harvest Pumpkin Tarts

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2012

Bland and found the baking time off as the bottom of the crusts were gummy. Not worth the effort to try and tweak for improvement. Thanks anyway.

All-Day Apple Butter

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2012

Super easy way to make apple butter. I didn't change a thing. A nice way to make several gifts at once. Thanks!

I'm giving this 4 stars because of the changes I made. But, with those changes, the opinion here is that it is 5-star dish. I used 8 eggs instead of 12. I added 2 Tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. I assembled the casserole, except for the last 1 cup of cheese, and then froze it. When it came time to serve it, I pulled it out of the freezer early in the morning and heated it in a 325 degree oven until warmed through. I put the final cup of cheese on top and put back in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese was melted. It's a definite keeper!

Harvest Rice Dish

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2012

Flavors that one wouldn't ordinarily couple together make for a pleasant dish. Didn't change a thing and will be making again.

Cindy's Jambalaya

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2012

Loved this recipe. I used Andouille sausage. One could probably add another cup of rice to make this less "liquidy." Adjust the Cajun seasoning to your personal taste.

Grandma Snyder's Oatmeal Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2012

Outstanding cake that came out beautifully. I used old fashioned oats, which I think makes a difference. I used pecans instead of walnuts, and may cut back (1/2 - 1 cup) on them next time I make this (there WILL be a next time). Thanks!

Cherry Pie III

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2012

I used refrigerated pie crusts. I changed the 10 teaspoons cornstarch to 3 Tablespoons. The recipe calls for 2 cups cherries. I just used 2 cans, drained, cherries. Easy recipe to keep on hand. Thanks.

Taco Salad I

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2012

I used Catalina dressing in lieu of French dressing. I used black beans instead of chili beans. I also added a can of corn, drained, to the mixture. Recipe is a keeper as the whole family enjoyed. Thanks.

Dill Dip III

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2012

This recipe makes a very large amount. I prepared it as written. I felt it was a little heavy on the mayo taste and quite salty. I would decrease the salt, especially if serving with chips. I also found the onion flavor to overwhelm the dill flavor.

Sesame Noodles

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2012

I substituted olive oil for the safflower oil. I changed the 1 teaspoon sesame seeds to 2 Tablespoons. Easy recipe that is good alone but would also be tasty with shrimp or chicken for a one-dish meal.

Angel Food Cake II

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2012

I changed 3/4 cup of confectioner's sugar to 1 cup of confectioner's sugar. I also added 2 cups mini chocolate chips to the batter just prior to pouring it into the pan. The cake turned out well. I chose not to frost it but dusted it with sifted confectioner's sugar instead.

Simple, Classic Chicken Potpie

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2012

I used 2 (15 oz.) packages of pie crusts so the potpies would have a bottom and top crust. I altered the 9 Tablespoons flour to 1/2 cup flour. I also added 8 oz. of fresh sliced mushrooms. Aside from those minor adaptations, I prepared the recipe as written. Turned out yummy. Thanks.

Mango-Strawberry Salsa

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2012

Followed the recipe exactly. Turned out very runny. The balsamic vinegar/fruit favors did not mesh well. Too woodsy for fruit. Thanks anyway.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Reviewed: May 12, 2011

Forget the double boiler. Put the chocolate/shortening in the microwave. Zap it for 30 seconds. Stir. Zap it for 30 more seconds. Done. Dip your berries. This recipe covered 30 healthy-sized berries for me. Enjoy! A good rule of thumb to remember is 1 Tablespoon of shortening for every 1 Cup of chocolate chips. I used semi-sweet chips. I decorated the berries with 1/3 Cup melted white chips. I put the melted chips in a ziploc bag, poked a hole in one of the corners and squeezed the chocolate onto the berries. Mmmmm!

Frosty Pineapple Salad

Reviewed: May 5, 2011

I found the whipped topping flavor overpowering in this recipe. Family members didn't care for the texture of the crushed pineapple within the salad. Won't use again. Sorry.

Caramelized Onions

Reviewed: May 5, 2011

Yummy! The only substitution I used was honey in place of molasses. I prepared these for grilled burgers. I agree that some of the onion flavor is lost with the other ingredients added. It's not bad, just different. I won't use this on burgers again because I like the onion flavor to dominate in caramelized onions. I will, however, add this to baked beans in the future. Thanks!
