Buttery Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

Posted by KITTENCAL  

Another recipe I should have reviewed long ago. This cake is one of my absolute favorites. It really is delicious, and everyone who tastes it is so impressed. The only thing I don't like about it is getting so many bowls to wash... but for a... — Zestphobia Jul 21, 2009

Pineapple Bread

Posted by Maryland Jim  

I see that everyone else had great success with this recipe, but for me it did not turn out at all. It was very bland and the consistency was almost dough-like. Perhaps it is just a matter of personal taste, but I won't be making this one again.... — Zestphobia Jul 16, 2009

Chocolate Star Cookies

Posted by KC_Cooker  

I should have reviewed these long ago. They were one of the first recipes I printed and they are terrific. They always turn out great. I made them again this Christmas and as always, wonder why I don't make them more often. When I was doing my... — Zestphobia Dec 20, 2008

Cheesecake Supreme

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Lennie  

I have been trying a lot of cheesecake recipes, but I find that I keep coming back to this one. It is "just right." Just the right amount of creaminess, just the right texture, just the right flavor. I do increase the crust by 50%. This recipe... — Zestphobia Jul 10, 2006

Fudgy Chocolate Layer Cake

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

The cake is wonderful. I always have a difficult time finding layer cakes that my husband will like; he finds most too sweet, especially the frosting. I made this for his birthday and we both loved it. It is very fudgy and dense, but not too... — Zestphobia Feb 15, 2006

Reese's Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate Chip Blondies

Posted by Sonya M  

Add another "excellent" vote. They were quite easy to make and it was no problem to tell when they were done, even in my absurdly inaccurate oven. They also cut very nicely and neatly. I skipped the glaze, as we don't care for them. They are... — Zestphobia Jan 31, 2006

Peanut Butter Blossoms

Not only delicious but easy and very attractive. A definite contender for the holiday gift tray of cookies. — Zestphobia Dec 2, 2005

Pecan Pie Cupcakes

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Dreamgoddess  

These turned out great for me on the first try. I used mini-muffin cups. They are not too sweet, kind of bread like tasting, I think. They would be a great gift with a pound of gourmet coffee and I think they probably will mail well for the... — Zestphobia Dec 2, 2005

Caithiseach Brownies

Posted by Kitty Z  

These were excellent, even using margarine instead of butter. They finished cooking quickly; seemed like I tested them and they were nowhere near done, then suddenly they were done. So I suggest watching carefully. I would like to make the... — Zestphobia Aug 4, 2005

Double Chocolate Surprise Brownies

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by *OzMan*  

I made these to take to a friend's home for dinner. I had to make a second batch for us the next day! They really are excellent. The only thing that gave me trouble is I didn't wait long enough for them to cool before cutting and they didn't... — Zestphobia Jul 27, 2005

7-Up Pound Cake

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Kim D.  

I am trying a couple of 7 Up cake recipes on here, so far I have made two of them. This recipe is very good. I made it with vanilla rather than lemon, and just over 2 cups sugar. It had a very rich pound cakey taste to it, more so than the... — Zestphobia Apr 18, 2005

Chocolate Chip Pie

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Sandra Silver  

The recipe I was about to post is very similar to this one, so I'll add my review instead. This is a great pie! Tastes like chocolate chip cookie dough. My recipe is slightly different in calling for 1 1/2 sticks softened margarine rather than... — Zestphobia Apr 3, 2005

Brown Sugar Bundt Cake

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Ann Byassee  

I just made this cake for the first time. It is dense, rich, and just nutty/sweet enough. The only thing I may do differently is I gambled & used mix with pudding in it (plus adding pudding). Inside stays a little too moist for me. I probably... — Zestphobia Mar 24, 2005

Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Joy1996  

The cake turned out great. I used dark chocolate chips (that's what I had on hand) and for the glaze, I used semisweet baking chocolate. It was all excellent. The glaze was, however, very thick, and I just spread it on top like frosting. I... — Zestphobia Jan 25, 2005

White Chocolate No-Bake Cheesecake Pie

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

This is such a good easy recipe... it is my husband's favorite. I never use the toffee chips, as they aren't a favorite of ours. I don't think they are missed. — Zestphobia Aug 6, 2004

Mashed Sweet Potatoes

(6 people found this helpful) Posted by Kimke  

Outstanding. I made this for the first time for Christmas dinner, with company, so the stakes were high! I thought the recipe seemed unusual by not boiling the potatoes, but forged ahead and am so glad that I did. It was absolutely great, very... — Zestphobia Dec 26, 2003

My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have tried several cookie recipes from this site, including a lot of highly rated chocolate chip cookie recipes. These were by far the best and most reliable. I use several different type cookie sheets, and they always turned out great. This... — Zestphobia Dec 22, 2003

Black & White Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was so excited to try this recipe, especially with the great reviews. I had to go to five stores to find dark chocolate chips! Anyway, I just made them, and I have never had worse results with a cookie. The cookies spread out a lot when... — Zestphobia Dec 12, 2003

Paula's Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by PaulaCS  

Really excellent. A bit labor intensive... I found kitchen shears to work well for cutting up the artichoke hearts. I could only get the artichoke hearts in a 14 oz can but it was fine. I made this while visiting my parents; we were all going... — Zestphobia Nov 15, 2003

Cake Mix Cookies

Posted by Linda  

Very easy. I used dark chocolate mix & white chocolate chips. Used corn oil. They turned out very fudgy and super rich, like brownie fudge cookies. Not the prettiest cookie in the world (at least not when I made them) but tasted outstanding.... — Zestphobia Nov 12, 2003
