Cast Iron Cleaning

Posted by KissaMew  

You can avoid having to do this by never, EVER washing cast iron in soap. Soap is what ruins the seasoning of the pan. Wash it in hot water and use a spatula or firm plastic vegetable brush to get off any stuff. Then, put it on the stovetop, warm... — cookin' from scratch Dec 5, 2007

Chickpea Sandwich Salad

Great recipe! I actually forgot the mustard (oops) and I didn't add any salt, because this recipe doesn't need any. — cookin' from scratch Oct 7, 2007

Ww Whole Wheat Apple-Cinna Pancakes - 1 Point

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by TiffySugar  

Great flavored pancakes! The recipe said it made 6 but I only got 3 pancakes-if you are making this as a stand alone breakfast, you'll have to double the recipe. — cookin' from scratch Sep 3, 2007

Banana Bread

Posted by Jen's Kitchen  

Great banana bread! Nice, light, moist, and not too sweet. My only complaint is the serving size-if you bake in a 9 inch pan, to get 48 slices each piece would be 3/16 inch thick (otherwise known as razor thin-impossible with a bread this light).... — cookin' from scratch May 4, 2007

Apple-Oat Coffee Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mirj  

Great cake! Moist, sweet, and light. Easy to put together, although it does make a lot of dirty dishes. And very, very yummy! Next time I will probably double the nuts in the topping for even more crunch. *I replaced the 3/4 cup sugar with 1/4... — cookin' from scratch Apr 28, 2007

Fat Free Bread Pudding

Posted by Cathleen Colbert  

The taste was good, but mine was a little soggy. Nest time I will reduce the milk to 1 1/2 cups and see how that goes-I'll update my review if it turns out better. — cookin' from scratch Apr 1, 2007

Sweet Potato Fries

Posted by Kristina0314  

The taste was good, but mine were soft. I cooked them for 20 minutes at 425 as in the instructions, and they were soft. I gave them another 5 minutes, no change. Finally I gave them another 5 on the broiler, until they were getting a little... — cookin' from scratch Apr 1, 2007

Sweetened Condensed Milk Substitute for Diabetics

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Redneck Epicurean  

Thank you so much for posting this! Even adding in the Splenda calories and carbs that Recipezaar leaves out, this comes out to about 90 calories per 2 tablespoons and 9 grams of sugar compared to Carnation at 130 calories and 22 grams of sugar-a... — cookin' from scratch Mar 29, 2007

Sugar Cookies

Posted by Tracy K  

Great cookies for frosting! They aren't very sweet, so the frosting doesn't kill you with sugar. I had trouble with them because I rolled them out too thin (about 1/4 inch) , and they came out dry and crunchy. Once I realized the problem and... — cookin' from scratch Mar 25, 2007

Lemon Bars

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Dancer^  

Mmmm... just like the ones my mother used to make. These were just sweet enough (most of the other very similar Zaar recipes call for 2 cups of sugar, which I think would be too much). My only complaint was that using the beater made the top of my... — cookin' from scratch Mar 1, 2007

Basil Parmesan Biscuits

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Carole Reu  

Mmm! I scaled this down and used it as a topping for a basil parmesan chicken pot pie by just rolling it out into a circle and putting it on top of the pie plate. It was very flavorful and different. p.s. I substituted light sour cream for the... — cookin' from scratch Feb 25, 2007

Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Casserole (Low Carb)

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by 76sarah  

So good! I used ground beef instead of turkey sausage, because I had some on hand already browned. I didn't have any chevre cheese and I wish I had gone out and bought it-next time, I will. This tasted absolutely decadent, cheesy, flavorful, and... — cookin' from scratch Jan 15, 2007

Creamy Basil Sauce

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by JeriBinNC  

Yummy! I didn't have yogurt or heavy cream, so I replaced both with half-and-half. My sauce was a little thin (lack of yogurt, I'm sure) so I added another half cup of dried tomato threw it in the blender for a few seconds. The flavor was... — cookin' from scratch Dec 19, 2006

Low Carb Pecan Pie

I made one-third of this recipe to test it out before the holidays (made it in a muffin pan). I followed the instructions exactly except I did not make the crust. My comments: This is pretty easy to make and the overall flavor is good. However,... — cookin' from scratch Nov 11, 2006

Raisin Pecan Pie (Diabetic)

All I can say is... GROSS. I made one-quarter of this recipe in muffin tins so that I could test it out before the holidays. I made it exactly as described (but without a crust). The preparation was very easy. The final product, however, was very... — cookin' from scratch Nov 11, 2006

Buddah's Breakfast Sausage

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Laudee  

My local grocery recently started carrying extra lean ground pork, so that started me on a sausage quest. This is the one I like the best. It tastes very different from the Bob Evans sausage, which is just full of every bad thing that I try to... — cookin' from scratch Nov 10, 2006

Best Oatmeal Cookies

Good cookies, but not exceptional by any means. These cookies are a standard drop cookie with some oatmeal and raisins added. When I want an oatmeal cookie, I want a cookie that's made of oatmeal, not a drop cookie with a few pieces of oatmeal... — cookin' from scratch Nov 8, 2006

Blueberry Boy Bait

This recipe is identical to #7118 except for the amount of blueberries. I didn't think one cup was enough. Next time I will make Recipe 7118 Blueberry Boy Bait, that calls for 2 cups of blueberries. — cookin' from scratch Nov 6, 2006

Chicken Cordon Bleu

WONDERFUL!!! The reason I gave this 5 stars is because of the sauce, which was awesome. I altered the chicken part, because the toothpicks sounded like a mess waiting to happen. I dipped my chicken in egg, then in breadcrumbs, then fried it in... — cookin' from scratch Nov 5, 2006
