Yummy Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Wendy W88  

Fabulous pie! I used brown sugar in the filling and also added a teaspoon of vanilla. My apples were Cortlands, fresh picked from the tree in my yard. They are a jucier apple than Granny Smiths, so next time I think I'd add a bit more thickener. I... — Donna M. Oct 11, 2009

Lemon Cream Cheese Pie

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Family Favorites  

My family loves this too, and we have been making it for 40+ years. It is quick and easy to make and very satisfying. The only thing we do different is to use an 8 oz. package of cream cheese. — Donna M. Apr 25, 2009

Mean Chef's Buttermilk Scones

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by newspapergal  

Loved the crunchy outer crust on these scones. They weren't quite as light as I would have liked, but that is minor. The recipe doesn't state if you should leave the cut wedges together or separate them with some space between before baking. I... — Donna M. May 5, 2008

Oven-Fried Chicken Chimichangas

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Miss Annie  

Fantastic chimichangas! They are perfectly crispy, and have a great blend of flavors. My daughter made them and invited me to dinner. I can't wait to make them myself. I want to try them with pepper-jack cheese. — Donna M. May 5, 2008

40 Minute Hamburger Buns

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Marie  

I'll have to admit that I was skeptical about this recipe, but it turned out great! I used 3 packages of yeast because I didn't have bulk yeast. I used the dough to make pigs in a blanket (hot dogs wrapped in dough). I loved that it was fast but... — Donna M. Feb 20, 2008

Choco-Peanut Butter Cups

Posted by Manami  

Decadent--and super easy to make. They are very rich! Instead of the granola bar topping I just sprinkled on chopped salted peanuts because it is something I most always have on hand. This recipe is definitely going into the 'keeper' file. — Donna M. Feb 17, 2008

Taco Tater Tots Casserole

Posted by Mary Parker  

This was really yummy! My daughter made it and invited me for dinner. It is very easy to put together and it hit the spot on a cold winter evening. Next time we thought we might add some diced peppers along with the corn layer. Thanks, Mary! — Donna M. Dec 17, 2007

Thanksgiving Turkey Brine

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Furr Baby Lover!  

Perfect turkey with this brine! I left out the oranges (didn't have any) and used rosemary and savory for the herbs, plus some chopped onion. I got a 5-gallon bucket from the grocery store bakery to brine the turkey in. It worked perfect. I dumped... — Donna M. Nov 25, 2007

Turkey Gravy

Posted by PanNan  

Nice, richly brown gravy to go with our Thanksgiving turkey, which was brined and therefore didn't want to use the pan drippings. The only thing that kept this from being a 5-star was that I thought the flavor of the vegetables overpowered the... — Donna M. Nov 25, 2007

Pumpkin Knot Yeast Rolls

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

Super, delicious rolls! The dough is easy to work with. To shape the rolls I rolled the dough into two rectangles, approximately 10"x12". I then used a pizza cutter to cut each into 4 sections, 3"x10", and then cut each of those sections into... — Donna M. Nov 25, 2007

Basil Pesto from Home

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Sage  

Delicious pesto! The only thing I did different was to add 1 Tbsp. of lemon juice. This pesto has a nice, thick consistency and the flavor is outstanding. I like the addition of salt and pepper, as I believe it really enhances the flavor. My basil... — Donna M. Sep 23, 2007

Wonderful Salsa

(16 people found this helpful) Posted by Jazze22  

This truly is wonderful salsa. I have made several over the years and this one is definitely the best. A lot of homemade salsas separate and get watery after sitting awhile, but this one does not. The flavors are very nice. I don't like jalapeno... — Donna M. Oct 11, 2006

Bourbon Chicken

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by LinMarie  

Nice flavor! We really enjoyed this dish. I tripled the sauce, but next time will only double as it was too sweet with that much extra sauce. I did add a bit more garlic and used pineapple juice instead of apple juice. — Donna M. Jan 15, 2006

Hearty Chicken Pot Pie

This was a wonderful quick and easy meal for a cold winter evening. It goes together in no time at all. I added a bit of onion and some thyme. I also pre-cooked my frozen mixed veggies before adding them to the filling because we don't like them... — Donna M. Dec 18, 2005

Moist & Chewy Irresistible Peanut Butter Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Anita Harris  

A perfect moist and chewy cookie! They mix up in a snap and taste great. We did need to bake a little longer. If you don't bake long enough the cookies are so soft that they will break apart when you pick them up. They stay nice and soft, even the... — Donna M. Nov 30, 2005

Buttermilk & Honey Bread

Posted by Sharlene~W  

Very yummy bread! I also made this as part of Mean Chef's online bread baking class. I cut the recipe in half to make only one loaf, and I used 1 packet of dry yeast. I loved the depth of flavor that the buttermilk gave to this bread. It's just a... — Donna M. Feb 27, 2005

Pizza Dough

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Jeff Hixson  

This dough is an absolute dream to work with! I like a fairly thin crust and I found I was able to do two 16-inch pizzas out of it. I used my bread machine to make the dough (sorry, Mean--my bread machine is my friend). I did have to add a couple... — Donna M. Feb 7, 2005
