I had an extra pie crust and was browsing AllRecipes to find a new pie to try. This recipe caught my eye because these are my three favorite pies! I figured it would be easy to taste the pecan and coconut, but I doubted whether the actual flavor of chess would come through. Boy, was I wrong! This pie actually tastes like all three pies in one. It is very sweet and rich and reminds me of all the pies I had growing up. Love it! I made it as-is except for the substitution of butter instead of margarine. Thanks for a great recipe!

This was fantastic! Made it as-is with no modifications. Very flavorful with just the right amount of spice. A big hit with the family.

Curried Zucchini Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2009

Wonderful! I was nervous about making this as I've never really made anything with curry, but I had a couple of zucchini that I needed to get rid of, and I thought why not? It was delicious! My husband loved it, and even a couple of my children tried it and loved it! Didn't change a thing and will be making this frequently. Thank you!

Slow Cooker Lime Chicken with Rice

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2009

This was a little bland, but it's a keeper because it's so easy. I used coriander instead of thyme, and I thought it gave it a nice sweet taste.

Black Bean Brownies

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2008

UNBELIEVABLE! What a treat! I was trying to get rid of some extra milk chocolate chips when I came across this recipe. I'm always on the lookout for good flour-less recipes, so I was excited to give this a try. My family could not believe these were made out of black beans! We could not taste them at all. Thanks for the fabulous recipe.

Super Easy Doughnuts

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2007

I'm sorry, I thought these were pretty awful. I followed the suggestions and reduced the milk and vinegar. The dough was still difficult to work with, and they didn't taste very good. They reminded me of the consistency of hush puppies with powdered sugar on top. My kids wouldn't eat them.

Honey Crunch Pecan Pie

My father-in-law is a pecan pie connoisseur, so I have been trying for several years to impress him by making the "perfect" pecan pie. He told me I could stop trying with this recipe! It's FANTASTIC!!! I didn't change a thing about the recipe. It is the BEST EVER!!

Ranch Dressing II

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2006

I have been on a three-year quest to find the perfect ranch dressing recipe, and I finally found it! This is great! I did make modifications to suit our Texas taste buds (ranch dressing is a condiment here!), but this is a wonderful start. My modifications are to 1) Change the mayo/sour cream/buttermilk to 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup buttermilk, 2)Increase the garlic to 1/2 tsp., and 3) Add 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil (for consistency). Thanks Dawnia!

Roasted Pork Loin

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2003

This was a superb dish! I have always hated pork loin, but I think it's because no one ever cooked it like this! My modifications: 1) Cooked at 300 degrees for 2 hours, 2) Substituted basil for rosemary, 3) Substituted 3/4 c. chicken broth for wine. I baked this in a covered dish, and the meat was simply falling apart when done. Thanks for a great recipe!
