Found this recipe while looking for things to do with all the basil I had. Originally thought it to be an odd combination, but was very pleasantly surprised. It was absolutely amazing!!! Will definitely be making this one again and again!!

Bacon Cheddar Deviled Eggs

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2012
These were surprisingly tasty. The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is because...well, it's pretty much a basic deviled egg recipe but with bacon, and adding bacon to anything is basically cheating. I've made these twice now, once with the cheese and once without. Unless you're using sharp cheddar, the cheese really doesn't add much to these. The second time around I also added a smidge of cayenne, which was a nice layer of flavor near the end. All in all, it's a good recipe.

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2012
This really is a fantastic recipe. Easy, quick (don't even need a mixer, unlike regular chocolate chip cookies) and delicious. I make them to the recipe and only substitute milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet and they've turned out great both times I've made them. When they cool they do get a little crisp/crunchy, but after I pop them into a zip bag and leave them alone for a couple of hours their texture comes right back. Thanks for posting this recipe!

Old-Fashioned Pancakes

Reviewed: Mar. 11, 2012
These were pretty tasty, but I was a little surprised at how much like the box mix they turned out to be. That's not necessarily bad, but I think I was expecting a little bit more from them. I did make a couple of changes in adding a little cinnamon and some vanilla, and I cooked them in some butter instead of spray. Good, but not mind-blowing.

Donut Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2012
Pros: Easy to make, delicious. Cons: Very delicate. I wanted something I could throw together pretty quickly for breakfast and these looked great, and they taste great, but I ended up destroying about half the pan trying to get them out, and I used cooking spray! These are so delicate when they come out of the oven that setting them on the cooling rack the wrong way will end up causing a very noticeable dent. I had to wait for them to cool before I even tried to roll them in the coatings. Also, I didn't have any nutmeg on hand for the batter so I just used cinnamon. The plain muffins are quite good too, very buttery and light, perfectly good even without the coating.

NILLA Caramel Popcorn

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2011
Ok, so I can't give a completely accurate review of the recipe since I used what I had on hand but the technique and finished product based on this were excellent! I used air popped corn as it says, but just used whatever a half cup of kernels made (that is the max allowed in my popper at one time.) I didn't have Nilla Wafers, so I just sprinkled some chocolate chips and chopped pecans on it before baking. I also sprinkled some salt on it before mixing it all up. While the chocolate chips didn't melt, the finished product was amazing and the huge bowl was gobbled up by my Sunday night football guests! It reminded me of Harry & David's Moose Munch. I am making it again for my daughter's teachers for Christmas and this time I will melt the chocolate and pour it over to make it more Moose Munche-y :) Definitely give this recipe a shot!

Chocolate Macaroons I

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2011
These are fantastic! So simple but the result is delicious. As for the people complaining of a runny batter, I'm guessing the egg whites weren't whipped enough. After adding the sugar they should get glossy and white, but you still have to whip them more. When you pull your beater up and you see the whites standing up on their own, they're done.

Colored Sugar

Reviewed: Sep. 17, 2011
All I had was gel color that was not incorporating. I ended up using about 1/2 teaspoon of hot tap water and a few drops of the gel color. After dissolving the colors I added them to the sugar. I did get a bright orange rock of sugar on the bottom at the end, but it turned out well enough.

Flourless Chocolate Cake I

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2011
What a gigantic disappointment. I've made flourless chocolate cake before, and always use a springform pan, which is what I used here. The "cake" leaked out into the foil I wrapped around the pan and made a mess. Plus, I left the cake in the oven for almost an hour and it STILL never set up. I have some great-tasting chocolate pudding now, but no cake. Stick with the flourless torte recipe in the cake bible if you want one that won't disappoint.

Roasted Vegetable Lasagna

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2011
Amazing! Actually making this for about the 10th time for tonight. My only changes or substitutions rather are to make my own tomato basil sauce instead of using jarred. I also roughly chop the vegetables after roasting and include wilted baby spinach in the ricotta. Although I LOVE to cook I am never able to eat my own cooking....with the exception of this recipe. Both myself and my husband and son love it....it is time consuming but well worth the effort.

Easy Meatloaf

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2011
Was pretty tasty, but I made a couple of changes. Lacking a fresh onion, I used some dried, minced onion (around a teaspoon and a half), added some garlic (about a teaspoon), and we're not big ketchup fans in this house, so I used barbeque sauce. I also used plain sugar instead of brown, since I realized I didn't have any halfway through making this. The end result was good, the crust being the best part!

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: May 29, 2011
I cannot say enough great things about this recipe. The texture was perfect, the blueberries evenly spread throughout, and the top was nice and crisp. I did not have any issues with the sweetness as some people did. One note, however. I followed the recipe to the "T," except that I made the foolish mistake of using margarine in the crumb mixture (since I had quite a bit in the fridge to use.) Not a great substitution on my part. You really need that real butter flavor (not the icky, fake, vegetable oil flavor in my margarine :-p) to complete this yummy muffin. Another thing--the batter is thick, but if you follow the instructions exactly, they come out as they should. Use a measuring cup, put in your 1/3 C oil, add the egg, and pour milk to reach the 1 C line as stated. It might be a little more than 1/3 C of milk but that's okay! The purpose of the direction is to get 1 full cup of liquid. I sprayed my pan like crazy and could tell that if I hadn't, I would've had sticking difficulties. Thanks so much for this recipe, I will be using it a lot during blueberry season! EDIT: These are 100x better the next day, if that is even possible!

Apple Brownies

Reviewed: May 25, 2011
Love love loved these!!! They were a huge hit in my house. I, too, diced the apples like some said (just preference) and left out the nuts because my dad can't have them. Made them in a muffin tin for individual servings. Wow. I could have eaten the whole batch myself!
