Texas Linguine Pasta Salad

Date: 2015/06/16
"I was curious to see how this salad would taste using Accent meat seasoning in the dressing. That seemed strange to me but it turned out great. We all liked it. It had a little different flavor but was good. I thought maybe there was too much pepperoni the salad but no one else did."

Buttermilk Donuts

Date: 2015/04/30
"Delicious donuts. Almost as good as I remember my mom's donuts tasting. Only made a half a batch, otherwise I was afraid I would be eating donuts for a while."

Buttery Drop Biscuits

Date: 2015/02/24
"I love baking powder biscuits. They are easy to make and are an easy way to add bread to any meal. These turned out so nice and had great flavor. This recipe is a keeper!"

Creamy Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes

Date: 2014/12/11
"For anyone that has to make holiday meal, you have to try these mashed potatoes. Take the stress off yourself of having to mash potatoes when you are trying to get everything else prepared for your meal. Don't be afraid of the sour cream and cream cheese in the recipe. I was leery at first that they won't taste right with gravy but they tasted great. You have to give them a try."

Secret Kiss Cupcakes

Date: 2014/12/07
"These chocolate fudge cupcakes were great with the peanut butter chips added. The peanut butter fudge-flavored frosting made a perfect topping for these cupcakes. These cupcakes were a big hit with the grandkids."

Baked Chicken Legs

Date: 2014/09/30
"If you hate frying chicken, this is the recipe for you. It is so easy to prepare and has just good old chicken flavor that you can't beat. Next time I will try this recipe with other chicken pieces also, although we do love chicken legs."

Oreo Cookie Fluff

Date: 2014/09/11
"I doubled this recipe for a gathering we had at our house. When I made it I thought it was a bit much but it all got eaten except for maybe one small serving. I couldn't believe it. The kids couldn't get enough of it."

Blueberry Coffee Cake with Crumb Topping

Date: 2014/08/26
"I love to try different coffee cakes and this was a good one. The blueberries added a lot of flavor. I even messed up on the recipe when I was making it but was able to correct my mistake. It was still very good."

Red, White & Blue Fruit Bowl

Date: 2014/07/28
"I made this fruit bowl for the 4th of July but my grandkids liked it so much that I made it again this last weekend. It makes a pretty looking salad, is simple to make, and tastes great."

Orange Pineapple Cake

Date: 2014/04/24
"I made this cake for Easter and it was the 3rd or 4th time I have made this cake. Every time I make it everyone seems to really enjoy it. I love the fresh flavor and the light and fluffy frosting. This is a great cake for Easter."

Caramel Pretzel Brownies

Date: 2014/01/31
"Not my favorite bars. I did get compliments on them but I thought the caramel topping was too thin. Next time I would make up my own caramel topping. Probably from a different recipe so that it would be more firm."

Rolled Cinnamon Cookies

Date: 2014/01/24
"Good cookies. They remind me of Snickerdoodles. I love a cookie with a little cinnamon flavor."

Slow Cooker Homemade Chili

Date: 2013/12/16
"This was pretty good chili but still like my own recipe better. I liked the green peppers in this recipe. I like a sweeter chili so I added a little more sugar."

Baked Turkey

Date: 2013/11/18
"Good turkey recipe. I liked this recipe because it added a little flavor without being over powering. I like a little added flavor but I want it to still taste like turkey."

Old Fashioned Bean Soup

Date: 2013/10/22
"This was one of the best ham and bean soups I have tried. I made it in the crock pot and it was super easy and it had such a good taste. Usually I have to add some type of flavoring but I didn't have to add anything more than the recipe called for. The next time I have a ham bone I will be making this again."

Simple Sugar Cookies

Date: 2013/09/23
"These sugar cookies were pretty good. The almond extract gave them a different flavor than my regular sugar cookies but they were good. http://www.recipetips.com/recipe-cards/t--74836/sugar-cookies-195.asp is where you will find the recipe I normally use for sugar cookies. Give it a try. The cookies are light and crispy. You will love them."

Ranch Spaghetti Salad

Date: 2013/09/05
"I liked the flavor from the peppers and cucumbers in this salad. It was a good spaghetti salad but I have a couple of other recipes that I liked a little better."

Oven Roasted Carrots

Date: 2013/08/15
"I have made these several times and they are always great. Can't wait for my garden carrots to be ready."

Yummy Potatoes

Date: 2013/08/04
"Great potatoes. I made them for a pot luck we went to and they were gone in a flash. Everyone loved them. It was a good dish to take to a pot luck because it goes with most any type of food."

Sweet and Crunchy Noodle Slaw

Date: 2013/08/02
"We loved the different textures in this salad. We have had similar salads before but usually the ramen noodles were crunchy. The soft noodles were a nice change; the water chestnuts, sunflower seeds and cashews added some crunch. I will definitely make this again."

Rib Eye Roast

Date: 2013/07/26
"I made this for our anniversary supper. It is a simple recipe but with such a good cut of meat you don't need to add much. The roast turned out fantastic."

American Flag Cake

Date: 2013/07/19
"Well, I made this cake for the 4th and it was a big hit with the grandkids. It was gone in no time! The chocolate cake was good with the fruit and I am sure yellow or white cake would be great too."

Wiggle Worm Dirt Pudding

Date: 2013/07/02
"I have made this several times for the grandkids. Sometimes I do individual cups but when I am in a hurry I just put in a big glass bowl and put the worms around the outer edge and on top. Either way the kids love this pudding."

Cream Cheese Lemon Bars

Date: 2013/06/25
"Sweet_Lover is right, 5 stars are not enough. I made these again this weekend and it always surprises me as to how much everyone loves these. Even the little kids!"

American Flag Cake

Date: 2013/06/25
"I am going to make this for the 4th of July this year. My grandkids love fruit so they will get a kick out of this flag cake. I am going to use a chocolate cake mix instead of the yellow."

Fresh Raspberry Pie

Date: 2013/06/25
"I had never made a raspberry pie before. We love raspberries so I thought I would give it a try. It was great! My husband loved it. Guess I will be making it again."

Frosted Rhubarb Oatmeal Cookies

Date: 2013/06/14
"I am glad I still had rhubarb coming in so I got a chance to make these cookies. We really like the mixture of flavor and texture in these cookies. Each bite gives you a little different flavor. This is definitely a recipe to keep!"

Rhubarb Cake with Cinnamon and Sugar

Date: 2013/05/24
"My rhubarb is finally coming in so I am starting to make all kinds of rhubarb desserts. This one was very simple and turned out delicious. This cake goes great with a nice cup of coffee."

Potato Wedges

Date: 2013/05/09
"These potato wedges tasted great and were simple to make but we cut the potatoes in 12 wedges and I think that was a little too thin. Next time I will cut in 8 wedges and bake a little longer."

Easy Lemon Cookies 3

Date: 2013/04/18
"Simple to make and had a nice lemon flavor. I liked the chewy inside."

Banana Bread with Fresh Blueberries

Date: 2013/04/11
"When I saw this recipe called for whole wheat flour for half the flour I thought I would give it a try. It turned out pretty good as far as taste but I had a hard time getting the center of the loaf done. I made one big loaf 9x5x3 loaf and when I took it out of the oven I thought it was done but once it cooling on the rack, the center caved in and I could see it was still doughy yet the bottom and sides were already browner than I would like. I am not sure how to get a loaf this size to be done in the center without the bottom and sides getting over baked. Next time I will put in small loaf pans or muffin tins. Maybe that will allow the bread to cook more evenly."

Marinated Beef Tenderloin

Date: 2013/03/22
"We were at friends this weekend and they prepared this beef tenderloin recipe. It was fantastic, tender and very flavorful. I am considering serving it for Easter. I have never cooked beef tenderloin but the recipe seems fairly simple so I may give it a try."

Mom's Chicken Dumpling Soup

Date: 2013/03/09
"I was home from work because of a snow storm and I found this recipe. I just had to try it because I love dumplings and it was a perfect day to make soup. It was delicious! It was a great treat on a snowy day."

Slow Cooker Potatoes

Date: 2013/02/11
"Baking our potatoes in the slow cooker worked great for me this weekend. I had a bunch of errands to run on Saturday afternoon so I put the potatoes in the slow cooker before I left and when I got home they were ready for our supper. I quick threw the steaks on the grill and we had them and the potatoes by 6:00 pm. It was great!"

Green Beans Sauteed with Garlic

Date: 2013/01/22
"My husband loves fried green beans so I tried this recipe instead of frying them as I normally do. They were good but we like them fried a little more than this recipe calls for. I should have just fried them a little longer anyway. I don't use garlic when I fry them using my recipe but I liked the flavor it added."

Coconut Slices

Date: 2013/01/17
"I made these along with the White Chocolate Coconut Cookies for Christmas. I didn't care for these as much as the others. They didn't have as good a flavor as the others and they were a lot more work to make. Also, the coconut fell off the edges pretty easily. They did look pretty on the cookie try though."

White Chocolate Coconut Cookies

Date: 2013/01/17
"I made these and the Coconut Slices for Christmas this year, mostly because I liked the looks of them. This cookie was really good and simple to make and decorate. I will probably make again next year."

Christmas Layered Cake

Date: 2012/12/06
"I made this Christmas cake last year during the holidays and it was so good. It is nice because it is kind of a light dessert but very yummy. If I remember right it was pretty easy to make too. I am going to have to find a reason to make it this year."

Orange Crush Salad

Date: 2012/11/19
"A fresh and delicious salad. The orange crush really did add a little sparkle to the taste. Of course, my grandkids loved the topping."

Wild Rice Bread Stuffing

Date: 2012/11/06
"If you like wild rice you will love this dressing recipe. It has wild rice and spiced nuts for a nice texture and apples for a little sweetness. It was a lot of work but well worth it. It was something a little different from our traditional dressing that we normally have."

Banana Jell-o Salad

Date: 2012/11/01
"This is kind of an old fashioned salad but it is one of my favorites. My grandmother use to make it and I loved it as a kid. Now my grandkids love it. It is super easy to make and I usually have the ingredients on hand. It is a nice addition to any meal."

Easy Apple Salad

Date: 2012/10/14
"Super fruit salad. It only had apples and pineapple for fruit but it had a nice fresh flavor. When I first had it done it didn't seem to be sweet enough but after being refrigerated overnight it really sweetened up. The nuts also added a boost of flavor and texture."

Grilled Combo Burger

Date: 2012/10/05
"Great tasting burger. I am always looking for a different way to use up our sausage. The beef and sausage together make a nice combination."

Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

Date: 2012/09/18
"Nice soft cookies. They reminded me of a banana chocolate chip muffin recipe I have but these were easier to eat. They were perfect for my year old granddaughter."

Mallow Monsters

Date: 2012/09/13
"I made these last Halloween and my grandkids thought they were great! Some of them were a little afraid to eat them but once they started they had a lot of fun eating them."

Grandma Goldie Bars

Date: 2012/08/27
"I love to try new bar recipes and this is a keeper! Everyone loved them."

Cinnamon Ice Cream Cups

Date: 2012/08/16
"Made these for the grandkids. They thought they were fun. The cinnamon tortilla cups were really good with the ice cream. They were a little hard to press into the muffin tins but I used regular size tins because that is all I had. The large muffin tins probably would have worked better."

Fresh Fruit Plate

Date: 2012/08/07
"This is a great idea as side dish for a light meal. My husband and I are trying to eat a little lighter and this fruit plate would be perfect with a grilled steak or chicken breast."

Two Cheese Macaroni and Cheese

Date: 2012/07/23
"This makes a large side dish. I served it with burgers rather than a potato side dish. We all liked it. I think it would be good with any of your favorite cheeses."

Best Brats Ever

Date: 2012/07/16
"My husband loved these brats. He especially liked the onions and green peppers added to them. I ate mine without onions and peppers because I don't like onions, but cooking them with the onions and green peppers gave the brats great flavor."

Baked Corn Pudding

Date: 2012/07/16
"Good recipe but I added another can of the kernel corn because I didn't think it seemed like it had enough corn in it. Otherwise it tasted great."

Creamy Stuffed Baked Potatoes

Date: 2012/06/25
"I made these potatoes last night for my husband and myself to go with our steaks. Seemed like a lot of stuff to put into 4 potatoes but they weren't too bad. My husband thought they were great. I left the onion out of some because I don't like onions."

French Rhubarb Pie

Date: 2012/06/18
"I wanted to try a different Rhubarb Pie recipe so I tried this recipe. It was very good but I like my regular double crusted Rhubarb Cream Pie a little better."

Homemade Ice Cream - Strawberry

Date: 2012/05/28
"This ice cream had fantastic flavor. We like to make homemade ice cream for a special treat. This was one of the best recipes we have tried."

Italian Wedding Soup

Date: 2012/05/15
"I have seen this recipe a couple of times and thought it looked like it was something a little different. Finally I had to try it. Made it last night. It was pretty good . . . will probably make again sometime."

Buffalo Chicken Bacon Wrap

Date: 2012/05/09
"A very tasty wrap! My husband loved this. He likes spicey food and loves bacon. He added a lot more extra sauce than I did but I thought they were good too."

Cinnamon Jumbo Cookies

Date: 2012/05/01
"This cookie was a little different from what I usually make. They were soft with a slight cinnamon flavor. Didn't know if the grandkids would like them but when everyone was here this weekend we ate up the whole batch!"

Cinnamon Rolls with Icing

Date: 2012/04/25
"Delicious and fairly simple to make. These cinnamon rolls are not super sweet but with the frosting drizzled on top it is just right. I used almond extract in the frosting instead of vanilla. It tasted great."

Cheesy Potato Skillet

Date: 2012/04/15
"Good breakfast skillet. My husband even liked it and he doesn't normally like breakfast dishes."

Dump Cake

Date: 2012/03/27
"This recipe was simple to make. It was tasty too but I think next time I will sprinkle a little brown sugar over the pineapple to add just a touch more sweetness."

Grandma's Bread Pudding

Date: 2012/03/05
"I have tried several bread pudding recipes but this has to be one of the best. The vanilla sauce on it is scrumptious and the bread pudding doesn't call for raisins, which I prefer it without."

Mom's Scalloped Corn

Date: 2012/02/06
"This scalloped corn recipe was OK but could have had a little more flavor. Next time I would cut the milk in half or eliminate it completely and maybe cut back on the crushed crackers slightly."

Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Date: 2012/01/30
"This slow cooker soup was pretty good but I think I would have liked it better made with cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup rather than cream of potato. Next time I would cut the chicken into a little larger pieces or use dark meat because the chicken was a little dry."

Deviled Crab Bake

Date: 2012/01/26
"I wasn't impressed with this crab recipe. It was kind of dry and didn't have much flavor. I won't keep this recipe because there are so many other good crab recipes available that I would rather make instead."

Pumpkin Crunch Cake

Date: 2012/01/16
"Good cake. Moist and tasty."

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Date: 2011/08/01
"I had to make chocolate covered strawberries for my granddaughters wedding shower and so I tried this recipe. They were fun and easy to make. My granddaughter loves strawberries so she thought these were perfect for her shower."

Baked Chicken and Vegetables in Foil

Date: 2011/07/25
"Great recipe! I cooked them on the grill and I think that made them even better."

Old Fashioned Meat Loaf

Date: 2011/07/14
"Thought I would try a new meat loaf recipe instead of my normal one so I tried this recipe. It was easy to make but I used 2 pounds of ground beef rather than 1 1/2 pounds. I also use a little onion salt instead of the onions because I was making it for my grandkids and some of them don't like chunks of onions in anything. Next time I think I would prefer the topping without the mustard."

Slow Cooker Beef Roast

Date: 2011/07/06
"I always have trouble with roasts coming out too dry but this roast, cooked in a crock pot, was so moist and it just fell off the bones. Also, the juices made very good gravy. Cooking it in the crock pot is also perfect for hot summer days because you don't have to heat the house by using the oven!"
