Cherry Pie IV

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2009

After having read the reviews I used a crust recipe that I already had. I loved the flavor of this filling. it was spectacular. However, the 4 star rating comes from the fact that even though I made it twice it did not gel properly. I used fresh, dark cherries. I am not sure if the water content is higher in those vs. the sour cherries but it was just soupy. Delicious, but soupy. It was so good that I will try it again with a little bit more cornstarch and hope for the best!

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2009

I have made these several times now and I just have to chime in, this is a great recipe! I made it as written the first time and found that they were a tiny bit salty and I prefer a little bit sweeter pancake. So, now I cut the salt down to 1/2 tsp. add 1tsp. of vanilla and increase the sugar to 2 Tbs. If you like a whole wheat pancake this recipe works well just be prepared to add a little bit more liquid as the whole wheat flour can be on the heavier side. I do not even go near the boxed stuff anymore. This recipe is less expensive than boxed and it is just as easy.

Sweet Restaurant Slaw

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2009

Cole Slaw usually improves as it sits and marinates. This one did not. It got VERY watery. It was also way too sweet for my taste. I will not make this one again. I will keep looking for a better recipe.

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2007

I LOVE this pie!!! I add a bit more cinnamon and some nutmeg. Otherwise I found it a bit bland. I have made it several times and it is always very popular!

This pie was quite tasty but the filling turned out kind of liquidy.

Deep Chocolate Raspberry Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2003

This recipe is rather complex and it takes quite a bit of time to make. The frosting is WONDERFUL! However, the cake is quite dense and although I followed the recipe exactly the cake was drier than I expected. It has potential to be quite good but I would cut the baking time by at least 7-10 minutes.

Newport Clam Chowder

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2003

I wish that there were more than 5 stars to rate this recipe! It is the best chowder that I have ever had. That is really saying something as I have had a lot of chowders in my time!
