Chocolate Sandwich Cookies II

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2008

These cookies are fast, easy, and good. Make sure to use quality cake mixes. The chocolate taste in cheaper brands isn't strong enough to come through.

Very, Very, Very Good Cheesecake

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2008

This cheesecake is fantastic! It has a lightness that other "real" cheesecakes lack. The taste is delicate--use a good vanilla extract because the flavor comes through. To the folks whose cheesecake didn't set--follow the recipe exactly. Make sure your ingredients are the right temperature and that the water bath is filled with boiling water. Using cold water means extra cooking time and less heat to the bottom of the cake. (That's how you get a very brown top and a pudding bottom.)

Pumpkin Cake I

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2007

This is the recipe you want for dense, moist, spice cake. I used it to make two small bundt cakes, placed the flat ends together to make a pumpkin, and iced it with an orange buttercream frosting. The cake took the stacking and heavy frosting without collapsing or shedding a bunch of crumbs. The pumpkin was real cute, too!

Ricotta Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2007

This is a perfect sandwich bread. The ricotta makes the slices moist, soft, and slightly dense. I increased the recipe by half to make a full-sized loaf in my bread machine--no changes were necessary for baking. A keeper!

Peasant Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2007

This is the best bread machine recipe for a chewy, French style bread. I love it warm, served with soup. (My favorite non-machine recipe for a crusty bread is Essence of Bread, on this site.)

Award Winning Chili

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2007

This is a great chili. It has a lot of flavor that is not masked by hot seasonings. There's no need for extras like cheese or sour cream--the recipe is perfect.

Easy Valentine Sandwich Cookies

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2005

An excellent recipe. The cookies are crisp and light, even when the dough is rolled out several times. Use real butter and vanilla so these simple cookies keep their rich flavor. I mixed the icing in a food processor so the powdered sugar was contained. Very easy and good.

Peppermint Brittle

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2004

This is my kind of recipe--2 ingredients and instructions to slam it on a counter! I chopped round candies in a food processor and used a double boiler to melt the white chocolate. The mix looked like cottage cheese! Everyone loved the brittle.

Essence of Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 7, 2002

This bread is chewy and flavorful. I like to shape it into a dozen mini loaves and bake them on a cookie sheet. These make excellent rolls for pasta dinners.

Manicotti

Reviewed: Mar. 7, 2002

This is a wonderful, super-simple recipe. I followed another reviewer's advice and stuffed the manicotti uncooked. So easy! It cooked wonderfully in the oven, covered in sauce.

Cheeseburger Meatloaf

Reviewed: May 17, 2000

This is a delicious meatloaf. My kid (who only likes one ingredient, no lumps, no wierd stuff dishes) asked for seconds! My husband (who generally hates meatloaf) had thirds! The jellyroll technique takes a little practice, but is fun to do and not a big deal if imperfect. I have made three at a time and frozen the extra cooked loaves with excellent results.
