Easy Cake Mix Carrot-Pineapple Cake

Posted by KITTENCAL  

This is so much better than nasty carrot cake mix, but is still easy because you still use a good cake mix as the base. I made them as cupcakes for my daughter's preschool class so I could claim at least a little nutritional value. I made a double... — Callu Aug 26, 2009

South African Biltong

Posted by MarraMamba  

This is the best version of Biltong on recipezaar! Customs took my Biltong away and I nearly cried. This tasted just like what I had in South Africa. I used skirt steak which was a little too fatty but the flavor and texture was spot on--this is... — Callu Jun 18, 2009

Nut-Luck Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by FloridaNative  

This recipe delivers! I am making 400 cookies and decided to throw in a couple "experimental" batches. I did 2 with yellow cake mix, 3/4 cup small heath bar bits, 3/4 cup chopped pecans, and 1/2 t almond extract. They were excellent. I used room... — Callu Mar 28, 2009

Big Thicket Chicken and Dumplings

Posted by Susie in Texas  

I specifically dislike "Puffy" dumplings. These are like the ones we used to eat at Po' Folks restaurants when I was little. They are just divine and everyone at our family gathering loved them. They are filling and this makes more than enough for... — Callu Nov 30, 2008

Awesome Baked Ham

Posted by Boopster  

I used this recipe for a big catering event for boy scouts. It was excellent and a crowd pleaser-- 12 year old boys are not the easiest crowd to cook for. I actually cooked two 15 pound hams, each in a 18 quart roaster, using Boopster's technique.... — Callu Oct 11, 2008

Cream Cheese Frosting

Posted by Bev  

Fantastic--I made a huge batch and frosted 200 cinnamon rolls. It was easy to spread and did not just melt away like other frosting. Super yummy too! — Callu May 31, 2008

The Best One-Bowl Hash Brown Potato Casserole

Posted by KITTENCAL  

I am giving this 5 stars because I personally loved it. For a large gathering it might be a little too heavy on the onion so if I take it somewhere I will most likely do either the green onion or the diced and not both. I also used re-hydrated... — Callu May 4, 2008

Pumpkin Bread Pudding (Low Fat)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by PaulaG  

This was EXCELLENT! I love pumpkin and it is like a moist custardy cheater pumpkin pie! I did use regular milk and eggs. And I threw a handful of chocolate chips on top after it came out of the oven. I let them melt and then spread them like a... — Callu Feb 23, 2008

Super Peanut Butter Filled Brownies

Posted by shimmerchk  

I cheated and used a boxed brownie mix and these were still outrageously good. Make sure you cool the brownie part completely before you layer on the peanut butter layer. Thanks so much for sharing. — Callu Jan 19, 2008

Butter Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by marisk  

I was looking for a light crisp butter cookie and these did the job. I actually rolled the dough into a log, chilled and sliced it thin. It was a lazy way to get excellent cookies. My old recipe used granulated rather than powdered sugar but I... — Callu Jan 12, 2008

Romanian Eggplant Puree (Appetizer, Dip, Sandwich Filling)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by larry #2  

This is baba ganush not salata de vinate. The average Romanian has never heard of tahini or peanut butter. If you want an eggplant spread this is fine but if you want authentic "Romanian" food this misses the mark a bit — Callu Jan 7, 2008

Black Bean Brownies

Posted by LoLosHouse  

I was cooking for a Heart Healthy Bean Festival and these were a huge hit and no one could tell they were not regular brownies. Mine turned out soft and delicious. — Callu Jan 5, 2008

Cottage Cheese Roast (Vegetarian Meatloaf)

Posted by Connie K  

This was very odd but no one could tell it was mostly cottage cheese. If we were vegetarians I am sure this would be in the weekly line-up. Very unusual and I appreciate the originality. — Callu Jan 5, 2008

Marinated Chicken Wings

Excellent marinade and are tough to dry out. Good for a potluck and are still good at room temperature. — Callu Jan 5, 2008

Yummy Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie

Posted by Wendy W88  

YUM!!! Huge hit even competing with pumpkin cheesecake! Nice change of pace for apple pie (not that apple pie has any trouble standing on its own. And this is a great recipe for anyone who has trouble with that top crust on a pie. — Callu Jan 5, 2008

Peanut Butter Popcorn

Posted by Mirj  

YUM! This was easy and a huge hit. I did cook the syrup until it was just a little golden before I added the peanut butter. I was afraid it would be too sticky but I cooled it flat and just broke it into pieces and it did not form back into a... — Callu Jan 5, 2008

Mujdei De Usturoi---Romanian Garlic Sauce

Posted by Transylmania  

I am going to give this 5 stars even though in romania the mujdei and smintina (sour cream) are served separately. Mujdei is the ultimate garlic sauce and my very not-romanian husband LOVES it. We spoon it over polenta or mashed potatoes as well... — Callu Jan 5, 2008

Bourbon Chicken

Posted by LinMarie  

This was good if you are feeding a large crowd and you don't want anything wacky. My small children liked it but I wanted more heat and more flavor for myself. Maybe all the positive reviews made me have unrealistic expectations. — Callu Jan 1, 2008
