Cranberry Beef Stew

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by grandma2969  

This does have an interesting taste, but it was too sweet for my personal preference. I don't use Kitchen Bouquet, so that might have helped tone down the sweetness a bit. Also, I think I might try jellied cranberry sauce rather than whole-berry.... — Jo Ann L Dec 21, 2005

Chopped Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Posted by Felix4067  

I love artichoke hearts, so I expected to like this recipe a lot better than I did. I did leave out the onions and the pimentos, but since I don't like either one, I don't think putting them in would have made me like the dish as a whole any... — Jo Ann L Dec 21, 2005

Holiday Glazed Carrots With Orange and Cranberries

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Tish  

These are very good. I wanted to take them to a ward dinner at church, so I made a batch for myself first, just to check them out. I'm glad I did, because I did make a couple of changes. First, I left out the salt for both batches. Even though I... — Jo Ann L Nov 23, 2005

Easy One-Bowl Carrot Corn and Rice Bake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by KITTENCAL  

Definitely simple to make, and I like it after I fiddled a couple of things a bit. The first time I made it, I had used some rather elderly carrots, and they came out tough and chewy; so I tried it again with better carrots, and the result was... — Jo Ann L Aug 5, 2005

Pumpkin Oat Cake

Posted by princess buttercup  

The taste was ok on this, but considering the amount of various liquids and brown sugar, I expected it to be quite moist; actually it turned out pretty dry and crumbly. I don't have a bundt pan, so I baked it in a regular 9x13 pan, but for only 35... — Jo Ann L May 16, 2005

Cheesy Carrot Casserole

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Charlotte J  

I liked the taste of this--it's a nice way to dress up carrots a bit--but there are a couple of things I'll change next time. You definitely need two full pounds of carrots (I was a bit short, thought it wouldn't matter--it did) and I may go a... — Jo Ann L Feb 5, 2005

Auntie Barb's Moist Chocolate Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Katherine in Alberta  

Very moist, dense cake, almost like a heavy sponge cake texture. It has a surprisingly chocolatey taste, given the small amount of cocoa powder. I frosted it with No-Cook Chocolate Frosting (No Cook Chocolate Frosting) for a nice, rich-tasting double chocolate... — Jo Ann L Nov 1, 2004

Brownie Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by stormylee  

I halved the recipe because I hardly ever want that many cookies at once, and got 16 good-sized cookies. I can't remember whether I did the conversion, or just said the heck with it and baked them at 350F; anyway, they were done after 13 min. at... — Jo Ann L Aug 30, 2004

Spicy Applesauce Cake

(6 people found this helpful) Posted by Mirj  

This cake has a very good spicy taste and is nice and moist. Hard to believe it has only a little oil and no egg. And it certainly couldn't be easier to make. The only problem I had was the baking time/temperature. Somewhat against my better... — Jo Ann L Aug 20, 2004

Brown Sugar Zucchini Bread

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Boyz 5  

This is a good variation on zucchini bread, with the oats giving it a nice texture. It's not very sweet, as would be expected from looking at the ingredients, and I think I might increase the brown sugar to 2/3 c. next time for just a little more... — Jo Ann L Aug 6, 2004

Cinnamon Bran and Raisin Cookies

Posted by Luv4food  

These turned out well, but I did make two changes; one is a matter of taste, but the other I would definitely recommend. First off, I halved the recipe, as I have only myself to feed. Some of the quantities were hard to halve, but I wound up using... — Jo Ann L May 26, 2004

Crazy Spice Cake

Posted by bug @<  

I'm not sure how many stars to give this, so I think I'll just post this as a comment, fyi. I liked the cake the second time I made it, but I made some pretty substantial changes. I found the spice taste too strong the first time, especially the... — Jo Ann L Apr 21, 2004

Apple Cranberry Squares

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chefiebig  

I was a little worried about the amount of flour and oats vs. the margarine and sugar, but I always hate to tamper with a recipe the first time I make it. This time I wish I had. The margarine/sugar/flour mixture mixes up kind of like sand, and it... — Jo Ann L Apr 5, 2004

Pineapple Spice Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by BeachGirl  

I had pretty much the same experience as the other two reviewers: good taste, very moist. Mine did cut fairly well, though. I also found that, probably because of the amount of fruit, the cake didn't rise very high; it was about the thickness of... — Jo Ann L Mar 30, 2004

Easy Nova Scotia Carrot Cake

Posted by Sweet Heart  

My experience with this recipe was a bit different, as I was baking it in a 9x13 pan. Right off the bat I had lessened the amount of cloves, as I find that their very strong flavor overpowers the other spices if the amounts are equal. When I put... — Jo Ann L Mar 3, 2004

Chicken Tetrazzini

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by BeachGirl  

A nice, easy way to make a tetrazzini dish. I cut the amount of chicken to 2 cups and found that to be plenty for me. The second time I made it, I also cut the pasta to 7 oz., which made a moister dish that I liked better. I upped the cheese to 1... — Jo Ann L Nov 26, 2003

Choctaw Pumpkin Cake

Posted by venus2  

I'm posting this as an fyi, rather than as a review, because I made a major change in the recipe. When I read this recipe, I thought it sounded good, but surely the 1 1/2 cups of oil must be a typo. Since it already has one review that doesn't... — Jo Ann L Nov 21, 2003

Rock Cakes

Posted by JustJanS  

My mother would have known exactly what temperature a "quick" oven is, but the best I can do is search waay back in my memory. I think it is about 375*F--don't know what that would be in Celsius. — Jo Ann L Aug 4, 2003

Pumpkin Brownies

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by Bugstomper  

Nice spicy taste. I agree that it's not exactly what one would expect from a brownie. It's more like gingerbread. The amount of batter didn't look like much for a 9x13 pan, so I wound up baking it in a 9-inch square pan, still for 30 minutes. It... — Jo Ann L Mar 8, 2003

Carrot Oatmeal Cookies

I nudged this review up by about half a star, because when I took the cookies to a church party last night, everyone loved them. I found the molasses taste too strong, overpowering everything else in the recipe. I think this recipe originally... — Jo Ann L Feb 15, 2003
