Irish Rosie's Irish Soda Bread

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by 1Steve  

Yummy bread! Almost buttery or like a soft cornbread, though it contained neither of those ingredients! I left out the raisins & caraway seeds, but made everything else as is. I divided the dough into 6 and baked in a large muffin tin for about 25... — MEPeralto Oct 3, 2009

Fluffy Buckwheat Pancakes

Posted by Manuela  

Hubby has grown up with buckwheat pancakes and said these are better than any he's had--good flavor, yet more fluffy & great texture. I'd never had buckwheat pancakes before and thought they were good. My 5 yr old was not a fan. — MEPeralto Aug 24, 2009

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted by nsomniak6  

I was really hoping to like this one for all the rave reviews. I'm willing to give it another go, perhaps I did something wrong. I followed the letter to the t, though I added a few more oats. It was the consistency of a thick cake batter. I... — MEPeralto Apr 25, 2009

New York Cheesecake

Posted by Bev  

Got a big thumbs up from the whole family--delicious. I wasn't able to try it (gave sweets up for Lent). The bday boy was very pleased (he doesn't like cake, but will devour a cheesecake). Mine did crack, even with a water bath. I'll try spraying... — MEPeralto Mar 26, 2009

Easy-Bake Oven Chocolate Birthday Cake

Posted by UnknownChef86  

Doesn't taste too good, but it's better than those packages, especially when you're talking about the cost. We'll use it as a base and tweak it. My daughter loved making the little cakes. — MEPeralto Mar 21, 2009

Crock Pot Taco Soup

Posted by Lubie  

Delicious! We did make a few changes - cooked up our own beans, used frozen corn. We subbed black beans for the white, cause we love them. We multiplied the recipe easily. Definitely a new favorite! Thanks so much. — MEPeralto Jan 10, 2009

Potato and Ham Soup

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ThatJodiGirl  

It's okay for a base. It needs some help. Next time I'll saute the onions in butter first, maybe with some garlic. I added garlic salt to this batch and used heavy cream, as that's what I had on hand. I substituted some of the butter for bacon... — MEPeralto Jan 5, 2009

White Almond Sour Cream Wedding Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Donna M.  

Great cake mix doctoring. When I'm in a bind, or making for free, this is my recipe. I've used it with all flavors of cake, substituting extracts, and once I grabbed yogurt instead of sour cream and had no choice but it put it in. It was delicious... — MEPeralto Dec 23, 2008

Big Grandma's Best Peanut Butter Cookies

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by LiisaN  

We've found a winner! Yummy! I forgot to roll them in sugar, but they were delicious, the whole family ate them up before they got cold. We used crunchy PB, cause that's what we prefer - it added a great texture to have the nuts. We made 15 4-inch... — MEPeralto Dec 15, 2008

The Best Banana Bread

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Tracy H.  

Not the best, not the worst. Flavorful, but come out very mooshy, dense, & greasy. I prefer a firmer, sliceable texture. I followed the recipe exactly and made it twice. You could see the grease bubbles boiling in the pan as it cooked. The... — MEPeralto Dec 14, 2008

I've never had Friday's black bean soup, but this recipe got a BIG thumbs up from everyone, even my 4 year old. Very good soup! The liquid smoke really makes it. Thanks! — MEPeralto Nov 2, 2008

Pumpkin Dump Cake

Posted by Kaykwilts  

It was okay. Kind of odd. The top did a carmelized crispy brown sugar thing. My brother called it "Pumpkin Pie Upside Down." I don't think I'd make it again. It's been sitting in the fridge since Saturday (it's Tuesday) and desserts NEVER last... — MEPeralto Oct 28, 2008

Buffalo Chicken Dip

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Barb Witherspoon  

We found it needed more chicken and was better with fresh cooked (or a rotisserie from the store) chicken. The recipe I originally found used 1 1/2 cups cheddar - 1 cup mixed & baked in, the other to top & broil. This is excellent in the crockpot.... — MEPeralto Oct 4, 2008

Dark Chocolate Cake

Posted by Marg (CaymanDesigns)  

I swore I reviewed this already! Oh well, here goes... This is my "perfect" chocolate cake. I'm a cake decorator (hobby, not pro) and this is my go-to recipe for chocolate cake. Perfect chocolate-y flavor and density. I don't know who made it... — MEPeralto Sep 5, 2008

Domino's Cinna Sticks

Posted by Tish  

Having worked at Domino's there are some things fundamentally wrong with this recipe. At the shop, we take a regular ball of dough, pull it to a roughly square shape. Cut it in half. Use a perforating roller (restaurant supply stores or online)... — MEPeralto Aug 29, 2008

Domino's Dipping Dots

Posted by JustaQT  

While I haven't made this recipe, I did work at Domino's for many years. The prep on this is much harder than it needs to be - remember Domino's is a FAST food chain! Definitely do not put the sugar/cinnamon on before baking. We just rolled dough... — MEPeralto Aug 29, 2008

Stove Top Mac-N-Cheese by Alton Brown

Delicious and easy! For a quick homemade mac - this does the trick. Not better than a baked, sliceable, creamy, thick-enough-to-stand-your-fork-up in mac n chz (I love the recipe on cookingforengineers.com sans topping.) I omit the hot sauce and... — MEPeralto Aug 20, 2008
