Two-Layer Key Lime Pie

Posted by yooper  

Yummy pie-we chose it to use up some leftover granola cereal. We used a spring form pan as mentioned in another review and it turned out wonderful. Just the right balance of sweet and tart. The kids loved the layers. Thank you! — Cooksci Mar 30, 2009

Copycat Borden's Sweetened Condensed Milk

Posted by KITTENCAL  

Wonderful substitution recipe. We thought it was a tad grainy in comparison to the canned kind but easy to make. It does set up very thick-depending on the recipe I would possibly add another couple of teaspoons of boiling water. — Cooksci Mar 22, 2009

Velveeta Macaroni and Cheese

Posted by kmdipaolo  

Nice old-fashioned (post WWII) type mac and cheese. We used 3 1/2 cups milk and the consistency was good. I would probably add a little milk to the leftovers to make a smoother sauce. — Cooksci Aug 27, 2008

Rhubarb Coffee Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Kate in Ontario  

Yummy! We have high altitude baking problems so I lowered the butter to 6 T and reduced the sugar by about 1/4 c. It turned out light and fluffy and wonderful! Baked it in a dark pan for about 33 minutes. — Cooksci May 30, 2008

Blt Egg Salad Croissant

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Marie  

Nice and basic. We followed the recipe as written and took a picture. I'd probably use small croissants as the large ones are a bit overwhelming. — Cooksci Feb 19, 2008

Granny's Sugar Cookies

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

Great basic sugar cookie recipe with a good flavor and either soft or crisp texture depending on thickness and baking time. These puffed up enough that they didn't work too well with the designed cookie cutters that leave an imprint but they... — Cooksci Aug 5, 2007

Gluten Free Dutch Sugar Cookies

Posted by GlutenFreeGirl  

I used 1/2 cup real butter and 1/4 cup butter flavor crisco for these. We baked them a little bit longer to make them crisper since that way they actually tasted a lot like traditional shortbread. Thank you so much for posting this recipe. — Cooksci Aug 5, 2007

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Posted by Bev  

Just like everyone else says, these are fantastic! I used the tip of soaking the raisins in hot water with a splash of vanilla extract then draining them right before adding to the dough and I also used regular brown sugar. I just dropped them in... — Cooksci Aug 5, 2007

Chinese Five-Spice Powder

Aaaaughhh! Thank you so much for posting this-we found we needed five spice powder for a recipe and I was out and didn't have time to run to the store. This worked great! I wish I had a better way to grind up the fennel seeds than pounding them... — Cooksci Aug 5, 2007

Apple Butter Ribs (Crock Pot)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

We cooked the ribs on high for two hours and then on low for another 3 hours and they turned out perfect. The liquid smoke and apple butter combine beautifully to the flavor, aroma and burnished color of the finished ribs. We froze some... — Cooksci Jun 9, 2007

Easy Breakfast Casserole

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Merlot  

This is a great breakfast casserole that warms up even better the next day. We used Spam type meat and just cut it into cubes. Like some of the other reviews, we left out the salt since the meat was pretty salty. We also used a mixture of... — Cooksci Jan 21, 2007

Sausage and Peach Breakfast Casserole

We tried this recipe for a church breakfast over the holidays and it was one of the first breakfast casseroles to be finished. We browned the sausages first for a couple of minutes and then cut them into bite sized pieces. We also cut the... — Cooksci Jan 21, 2007

Easy Oven Baked Beans and Pork Chops

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by KITTENCAL  

The pork chops stayed tender and moist in the bean sauce. After we made these pork chops earlier I froze some of the leftovers. We thawed and heated them up and they were still great! So next time I'll double the recipe and freeze a batch for up... — Cooksci Oct 23, 2006

Chocolaty Peanut Butter Banana Bread

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MackinacBride  

Great recipe. As with most banana breads it works best with really ripe bananas. Bread was soft and moist with a perfect quick bread crown. Loved the mingling of peanut butter with banana with the tang of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Thanks for... — Cooksci Feb 22, 2006

Lemon Rice w/ Peas & Green Onions

Posted by Sue Freeman  

We made this just as written for a grilled fish dinner and it was wonderful. The lemon flavor complimented the Jasmine rice nicely with the onions adding some kick and the peas added a bright look and helped balance the lemon taste. — Cooksci Aug 28, 2005

Thai Coconut Rice

We made this for a neighborhood barbecue that featured fresh grilled salmon as the main course. I made it just as instructed and it was excellent. The only drawback was that a few of the little kids thought it was chicken rice because of the... — Cooksci Aug 28, 2005

Applesauce Salad

Posted by Gingerbear  

Everyone loved the simple nature of this salad-just a hint of spice and the chewy plus crunchy texture was a delight with the smooth applesauce. I left the walnuts in pieces instead of chopping them and it really was done in less then 10 minutes. — Cooksci May 7, 2005

Chocolate Zucchini Bread

The little hunk of bread pictured with the chocolate and zucchinis is the last of two large loaves after one day in a family of 5. The chocolate taste shines and the zucchini adds moistness and a slight chewy texture (but not rubbery). The bread... — Cooksci Aug 30, 2004
