Cinnamon Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2012

I would give this a 5-star rating but for 3 things: It does NOT make 5 dozen cookies, a 2-inch log is impossible (mine were about 1-1/4"), and they would not have had much cinnamon flavor had I not added it to the cookie dough. They are delicious, crispy-chewy cookies, though. I also used the left over cinnamon-sugar & sprinkled on top when they came out of the oven. A keeper!

Piggies (Sugar and Cinnamon Pie Dough Cookies)

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2012

My mom used to make these with leftover pie crust. I think the trick is to roll the dough thin and slice them about 1/2 inch thick. Delicious childhood memories!

Pumpkin-Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2011

I made bars since it seemed like they were more cake-y. Used a whole can of pumpkin for more flavor, added another 1/3 cup oats and about 1/3 cup Splenda, used golden raisins and pecans. Baked in a 13 x 9 for about 35 minutes. Hubby says YUM!

BREAKSTONE'S Triple Chocolate Bliss Cake

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2010

This cake is delicious!! I didn't do the Cool Whip and Raspberries however. I did add 1 cup chocolate chips to the batter as well as 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract. Just a hint of mint and so yummy! Frosted with Pillsbury milk chocolate frosting because I was in a hurry for a co-worker's birthday. Decorated with some fresh strawberries and voila! Instant raves! Baking time was just a smidge over one hour.

One Bowl Chocolate Cake II

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2010

Excellent cake! I made it for a birthday at work Thursday, now I have to make another for Monday! Frosted it with chocolate buttercream enhanced with Nutella. It flew out of the pan! Thanks for sharing a great cake!

Zesty Chicken and Potatoes

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2009

This sounds good but seems to be missing something. I used a "zesty" italian dressing as some suggested but it was still pretty bland for our taste. Thanks anyway.

Oyster Dressing (Stuffing)

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2008

This is really good as is, and very similar to what I grew up with in Indiana. The only change I make is adding some chopped giblets from the turkey, along with a little broth they were cooked in. I've always used white bread because it doesn't compete with the delicate flavor of the oysters. If you never tried oyster dressing, try this one!

Brandied Orange and Cranberry Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2008

This is the best! I like to try different cranberry sauce recipes, but stopped with this one. I did cut the sugar a bit, but all the zest is what makes it special. My MIL requests this for every holiday dinner since the first time she tasted it. Even all the kids like it!

Ting-Town Barbeque Beef Sandwich

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2008

Best barbeque ever, in my book! The only thing I changed was using steak sauce instead of Worchestershire, just because it's what I had. I let it cook all day on low in the crock, then put it on the stovetop for about 45 min on medium-low to thicken the sauce. "Dipping" the buns is a great tip, too. Would make a great 'stuffed' baked potato, IF there were any leftovers! Sending this recipe to my whole family, thanks so much for sharing!!

German Apple Cake I

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2008

Awesome cake! I substituted applesauce for half the oil, and a mix of Splenda and Splenda brown sugar blend for the sugar, added extra cinnamon and some pumpkin pie spice and diced the apples (used 4 big Granny Smiths - about 5 cups). Also added 3/4 cup of walnuts. I made a glaze with confectioners sugar, cinnamon and vanilla flavored coffee creamer and drizzled over the top. Big hit with my husband and co-workers! Will be using this recipe again, thanks!

GA Peach Pound Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2008

Still trying to figure out why this has such high ratings.... It took forever to bake, and even though I used fresh, sweet peaches, there wasn't much flavor. I even added some almond extract as some others suggested. Big waste of time and ingredients in my opinion.

Korean Barbequed Beef

Reviewed: Jul. 19, 2008

This was really good, but I think it would make a better stir-fry than grilled dish. Also, I would use more chili paste next time to give it more kick.

Southwest Chicken

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2008

This was really good and quick for a mid-week dinner. I knocked it to 4 stars because you can't make anything "Southwest" without onion, garlic, chili and cumin at a bare minimum. Good blend of textures with the corn and beans, and with some spice tweaking, it was a hit. I served it over rice and it looked just like the picture!

Broiled Chicken with Corn-Pineapple Salsa

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2008

This is fabulous! I cooked the chicken breats on the Foreman grill with just a little seasalt. On the salsa, I used SummerCrisp corn and added 1/2 of an avocado chopped, ground garlic/seasalt blend, and about 3 T lime juice. Truly eye-rolling good! If I could give it 6 stars I would. Thanks for a great recipe!

Authentic Huevos Rancheros

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2008

I don't know what all the hoopla is about whether this is 'authentic' or not. It's just plain good! Cheese snobs might say use cotillo, queso blanco or whatever. I say whatever you have is fine. I do suggest trying the Hatch brand Huevos Rancheros Sauce, and the vegetarian or fat free refried beans are excellent. Thanks for reminding me about a simple and delicious meal!

Lemon Herb Barbeque Sauce for Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2007

This is wonderful! It's a very different flavor for barbequed chicken. I have shared this with friends and co-workers and it's a hit! I marinated the chicken overnight to let the flavors blend. Thanks!

Peach Cobbler II

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2007

I haven't made a cobbler in ages and was hesitant to try this recipe because of conflicting reviews, but I made some modifications and it was AWESOME! I used 8 fresh peaches, 1 cup sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon in the fruit, 3/4 cup sugar and one tsp vanilla in the batter, and 1 cup hot water with 4 Tbsp butter. Baked in a 12 x 9 pan for one hour and let rest for 30 minutes to let the juices gel up. I would give 5 stars, except for the modifications needed. Definitely will make again!

Traditional Indiana Persimmon Pudding

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2007

I gave this 5 stars because it is almost exactly like the recipe that's been handed down in my family from the same era, and it is simply heavenly! Living in Texas for 25 years, I still crave persimmon pudding at Thanksgiving. I'll be contacting Dillman Farms this year!

Asian Coleslaw

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2007

This is without a doubt the best slaw ever! I took it to my in-laws for dinner and my MIL (the slaw afficionado) raved. I did use a little sesame oil in the mix to give a little more "Asian" flavor. Outstanding!
