As you can see, I've been on "Zaar quite a while now, and have reviewed quite a few recipes. Just like everyone else who's been around for a while, my rating system has undergone a change.
*****Rocked my socks off. Won't change a thing!
****A good solid recipe. Enjoyed it. Might need a small change for personal preferences.
***Needs some help. Might be an operator error, but can't make it work.
As all the recipes I choose are chosen because of the ingredients that we like, I will not give less than ***. And, please, keep in mind that this is only my personal opinion. Someone else might think it is wonderful and give *****. So keep posting!
BTW, if I forget to thank you for taking the time to prepare one of my recipes, it is unintentional!

My swap partner was mandabears!

I adopted 43 babies, of which 27 were Preemies!
My Mommy was FloridaNative!
Adopted 2 recipes. Three-Step Pineapple Casserole and Greek Pasta Bake.
My newest tag game! Love to give reviews to untried recipes.

What great fun! My very first Spoiled Pet Swap....Sarah (Mom2Rose), was my partner. So many great toys and treats for my 3 babies.
My first foray into the first annual Comfort Cafe Summer! Made 18 themes! 
Made Ocean Salad and Sand Castle Brownie Mix for the Beach Bash and Ginger Baked Apples for ROTD. What great fun!


Only my second ZWT and my teammies chose me as captain! What a thrill!
This was our team! We came in Third Place! This was the best team! Brooke, Brooke the Cook in WI was my First Mate. Cherie, Midwest Maven, was our Cookbook Guru! Heidi, invictus, was our Scorekeeper. Vickie, NorthwestGal, made this beautiful team banner! Laurel, Chef PotPie, Scott, Slim PA, Carolyn, Boo Chef in West Texas, Laura, Mulligan, and realbirdlady, filled out the rest of our team.

My biggest passion is my reading. I can't go to bed at night until I have read something, even if its the back of a bag of potato chips! But that ain't gonna happen. I have over 300 books in my bedroom book shelves, and we have even more in the rest of the house!
Favorite Foods:There isn't a favorite dish to cook, unless I can claim the whole Thanksgiving dinner! I make the whole enchilada (excluding my sister's sweet potato casserole. NO MARSHMALLOWS! (I really should post her recipe. It's to die for!) We love the traditional dishes: Roasted turkey, mashed potatoes with giblet gravy, sausage stuffing, asparagus with hollandaise, deviled eggs, and don't forget the pumpkin, cherry and mincemeat pies! It's really funny, but I can't make any gravy that tastes any good except this feast gravy. Must be paranoid (you're just jealous because the voices talk only to me).....
