This was very good and very easy to make. i was looking for a coffee cake recipe that did not start with a boxed cake mix. i only made half the recipe and baked it in a loaf pan. I messed up by not putting as much of the cinnamon sugar filling in the middle layers, so I'll know next time to add more. The cake iitself was very good. Thanks for the great recipe!

Peppermint Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2012

These turned out very flat for me and were extremely hard to get off the cookie sheet after the two minutes of cooling - they pretty much fell apart. The cookies themselves taste fine, but I won't make again due to the fact that they just didn't turn out for me.

Apricot Pork Chops

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2012

Made this for dinner tonight. We only had apricot/pineapple preserves so used that. Also I added veggies to the mix...baby carrots, green peppers, big chucks of onions and chunk pineapple. We had white rice with this, and put the juice over the rice. Only thing I would do next time is add some corn starch to thicken the sauce a bit. Thank you for the recipe!!

Spinach Lasagna III

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2012

This was very good. I added a bit more fresh spinach, which I sautéed with the mushrooms and onion and also added a few tablespoons of Alfredo sauce in the layers. I just mixed everything together with a wooden spoon. My lasagna noodles were on the small side, so I used just about as many as the recipe called for. Was looking for a spinach lasagna and this is now my go-to recipe. Thanks for submitting!

Chicken Cordon Bleu II

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2012

Can we just talk about this sauce for a second? Smooth, creamy and full of a sophisticated depth of flavor. I could have drank it. Though I was hesitant to make this recipe without baking it, it was perfect. Don't change a thing about this one folks. Yes it's an indulgence in the fat/calorie department, but it's worth it. I loved every bit of it. You have to try this one!

Pretty good. Don't use too much onion or that's all you'll taste, and go easy on the lemon juice.

French Onion Soup I

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2012

I think this is my 2nd time reviewing this because I just made this soup again yesterday and it knocked my socks off. The only change I made was a bit less wine. I can't wait to make it for a potluck because people will be blown away. So easy, so delicious. Best ever and I've had TONS of french onion soup.

Louisiana Sweet Potato Pancakes

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2011

Changed the flour out to 1 cup AP flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour. Also added 2 tbl. wheat germ and 1/4 cup sugar since we'll be eating these plain. Only 1/4 tsp nutmeg, too. Ended up adding 1.25 cups mashed sweet potato, maybe could do more? Yummy.

Angela's Awesome Enchiladas

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2011

These were awesome. I took a risk and made them for a get together with our friends and their kids and even the picky kids (and one picky dad) scarfed them up! I served with guacamole, s. cream, shredded lettuce and diced tomato. They even said they were better than the authentic Mexican restaurant they frequent. I would definitely give this more than 5 if I could.

Delish...I made with fat free half and half and fat free whipped topping. I never missed the fat from the regular stuff. So fast and easy too. I will definitely make again.

Enchilada Sauce

This was so fabulous! I live in England now, and can't get decent enchilada sauce anywhere, but all of these ingredients are readily available. It reminded me of my favorite Mexican restaurant's enchiladas from back home... Thank you!!!

So moist...husband even likes them! Don't be fooled by how dry they are when mixing them up. After you add the zucchini, they become moist. Will make these again and again.....

Sweet Polish Cherry Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2011

The only change I made was to use sour cream for the yogurt. This definitely is a more dry cake and I like mine a little more moist, so I may experiment and add more sour cream/yogurt next time. Mine was also done at just about 30 minutes, so definitely check it when you smell it baking! Thanks for sharing!

Very good and very easy cookie. These are not meant to be sweet (even though I accidently added more sugar to the first batch!) I remember eating these when I was young - forgot what I was missing!
