Sweet Dinner Rolls

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2009
I don't have a bread machine, so I made this by hand. I've never had trouble converting a recipe before, but these turned out dryer and harder than I would have hoped. I'm still giving it 4 stars, because the flavor was great, and I'm sure they would have turned out better in the bread machine.

Home-Fried Potatoes

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2009
These were pretty good...I baked instead of fried them. Shook up all the ingredients in a Ziploc with a bunch of olive oil to coat, then put them in the oven at 425 for about 30-40 minutes, turning once.

Honey Crunch Pecan Pie

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2009
I really liked the honeyed pecan topping, but I kept getting little rubbery pieces of scrambled egg in the filling. I used my own crust, and next time I would probably only use 3 eggs. The flavor was very good, though.

Spiced Sweet Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2009
This was so good! I made this last night, my guests raved, and it only survived the 4 of us! I served it with pita chips and sliced french baguette slices. I made another batch this morning for myself!

Grandma Ople's Apple Pie

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2009
This was delicious! I simmered the apples in the filling instead of pouring the filling over the top, and also added a teaspoon of vanilla. The best apple pie I've ever had!

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2009
This was delicious! I used Gala apples, and simmered the apples in the sauce instead of pouring it over the top.

Ruth's Grandma's Pie Crust

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2008
Wow, this made an amazingly flaky, sweet crust. This was my first time making pie, and it turned out perfectly!

White Brownies

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2008
Very good! These were so easy to make, and I was surprised by how much I liked them, since I've only ever had/made "chocolate" brownies. The first time I made these I used a butter recipe yellow mix w/white choc chips, and I just finished making another batch with a spice cake mix & white choc chips. I did take suggetions and increased the eggs to 2 and milk to 1/2 c., and mixing the chips w/a little flour before adding absolutely did the trick to keep them from sinking to the bottom. Both flavor versions came out excellent and I'm including them in my Christmas cookie giveaway. I love the texture and the versatility of the recipe--can't wait to try more new and interesting combos!! Thank you for the easy and tasty alternative to the same ole brownie :-)

Fluffy Pancakes

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2008
These were great, we added a little vanilla and they were perfect! It didn't make enough, though, so I would double the recipe next time.

Waikiki Cornbread

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2008
I'm so glad that I was pointed to this recipe while looking at the reviews for White Chicken Chili I--this was the perfect side dish for that. It was surprising that cornbread could be both moist AND crumbly, but the crumbliness was just right for soup. I even almost messed this up by forgetting to add the cornmeal! As I was putting it in the oven, I realized "something" was missing--I just stirred it in and it came out great, anyway. I used bisqick, as I figured that was what it was calling for and I halved the recipe (used 2 whole eggs, though) and put it in an 8x8 pan. This isgoing to be my go-to cornbread recipe from now on!

White Chili I

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2008
Wow! This was VERY good! Great flavor and very easy to make. My 4-yr-old liked it (even with the chilis) and my husband asked that I make more the next time...it's always a good sign when he says, "next time." I used fresh chili and added some frozen corn, and as suggested, I did not drain the beans and I added a little bit of corn meal to thicken it up--perfect! I also served this with the Waikiki corn bread recipe from this site and that was great, too. I had never made "white" chili before, but with this recipe, I'll definitely make it a lot! Thanks :-D

Awesome Sausage, Apple and Cranberry Stuffing

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2008
I made this for our Thanksgiving dinner, and I thought it was really good. I used italian sausage, decreased the spices a little, and baked it for 350 about 45 minutes, covered with foil...Since it wasn't going inside the turkey, I added more broth for moistness...about 2 C of broth total, and mixed it with my hands until it got the right consistency. Definitely different than my Gramma's stuffing, so my family was kind of skeptical, but I think they enjoyed it...I know I did!

Coconut Cake III

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2008
This is really an awesome cake! So many people ask for the recipe when I bring it to events. It is very moist and tastes delicious! I usually use a white cake mix, just because I like the flavor a bit better, but really I have not changed a thing on the recipe other than that. If you like coconut, this is fab!!
