Halloween Brain Dip

Posted by Snowbaby  

How on earth can you call this "cute?" This is just totally disgusting looking! And a whole container of food coloring? Seriously, try educating yourself on how food coloring affects your body! — RachelRoo Oct 28, 2009

Basil Pesto

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Bonnie Traynor  

Very easy to make, and very flavorful. I think this recipe made about 1/2 cup pesto. I usually mix 1 part of pesto to about 1 or 1 1/2 parts mayo (pesto-mayo, as it's called in CA) and use it as spread on sandwiches. Use french, sourdough,... — RachelRoo Aug 6, 2008

Zucchini Bread

Posted by ~Nimz~  

This is very similar to the recipe that I have been using for many years. The main difference between this recipe and the one I use is that my recipe calls for 3 cups of flour, not 2; it has 2 tsp. vanilla, rather than 3 tsp; and 1 tsp. cinnamon... — RachelRoo Jul 14, 2008

Whole Wheat Oatmeal Millet Muffins

Posted by Pepita  

I would possibly make this again, but if I do, I think I'll add some spices ... maybe cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, etc. Either that, or add some almond flavoring just for kicks. There is quite a bit of crunch in these, but that's not necessarily... — RachelRoo Apr 21, 2008

The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies (Whole Wheat)

Posted by Partyof6  

Delicious! After buying some sucanat in bulk, I was searching for some good recipes to use it in. This cookie recipe was very moist and chewy. I have not tried it with the chocolate/caramel swirled morsels, but I imagine it would be good as... — RachelRoo Feb 20, 2008

World's Best Cinnamon Raisin Bread (Not Bread Machine)

Posted by Lydia Holton  

I hate to be negative when obviously so many people loved this bread, however I found the recipe to be dissappointing. Perhaps it was because I tried to use about half whole wheat pastry flour, a cup of fresh ground whole wheat flour, a few Tbsp.... — RachelRoo Feb 20, 2008

Delicious Chicken Pot Pie

(7 people found this helpful) Posted by alc47  

Delish! This pot pie recipe is as good or better than a recipe that I've been using for years. I like this one because it doesn't call for any canned cream soups. (I'm trying to cook less with canned and/or processed foods.) This was tasty made... — RachelRoo Jan 19, 2008

Lentil Soup

Posted by Karen From Colorado  

Soup had an odd flavor, but I honestly think it may have been the lentils. I'd never cooked with lentils before, so I guess they tasted different than I expected.... I added some cooked ground beef, and made this in the Crock Pot: about an hour... — RachelRoo Feb 13, 2007

Sweet Potato (Yam) Casserole With Marshmallows

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Nanita  

I made this with fresh yams. I sliced the yams, cooked them in boiling water on the stove until tender, drained, removed skins, then proceeded with the recipe. (Next time I'll bake 'em, but I was in a hurry this time.) I used 1 large and 1 small... — RachelRoo Feb 13, 2007

Delicious Rum Cake

Posted by Dawn  

I have been making this recipe for years, except I usually use sherry instead of rum. The rum gave it a slightly different taste, but still good. I gave it four stars rather than three, because the "sauce" was weird. I thought it would be more... — RachelRoo Feb 4, 2007

Macaroni & Cheese

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Hey Jude  

I made 1/4 of this recipe (one serving), using Penne pasta instead of elbow macaroni. Maybe it would have worked better with the smaller pasta, but I found that the cheesy sauce mostly stuck to the bottom of the pan rather coating the pasta. I... — RachelRoo Jul 30, 2006

Basic Vanilla Frosting

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Delish  

This was an easy frosting that worked well on cupcakes. If you want a smooth finish, try this: After spreading the somewhat stiff frosting evenly on the cake or cupcakes, smooth it out with a metal frosting spreader. Periodically rinse the... — RachelRoo Jul 29, 2006

Creamy Garlic Penne Pasta

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Karen=^..^=  

I was looking for some sauce to use with refrigerated tortelloni and this one turned out to be perfect. Several people said that it seemed to lack something, and others said that they added more garlic. Here's what I did: I roasted a whole head of... — RachelRoo May 19, 2005

Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies for Dummies

Posted by Mirj  

Very yummy. These were a hit with everyone who tried a piece. I swirled the cheescake mixture into the brownie mix, as did Robin W. I used a Pampered Chef 9" square baker. (Finally, I've found a recipe that works perfect with this odd-sized 9"... — RachelRoo May 6, 2005

Chocolate Frosting

(8 people found this helpful) Posted by Courtly  

This stuff just melts in your mouth!!! A helpful hint: I used Ghiradelli's Double Chocolate chips instead of the bittersweet chocolate bars. I actually think they are made with the same ingredients as the bittersweet bars — and a lot cheaper. I... — RachelRoo May 6, 2005

Grandmas Sloppy Joes

Posted by ~*Miss Diggy*~  

Very yummy. The recipe does not specify which size of tomato sauce can to use. I used an 8 oz. can for half a recipe, and it turned out just the right consistency. I used Balsamic vinegar, and added chopped celery. Will make again .... — RachelRoo Apr 11, 2005
