Amanda's Cheese Pound Cake

Posted by Jeff Hixson  

Made this cake for the guys at the firehouse and they said it was "good" but that it needed "something". I agree: I added 2 tsp of vanilla as opposed to 1 but that was the only change I made. I served it warm, so maybe cooling it off would give... — I_Cook_For_Firemen Aug 13, 2009

The cake tastes wonderfully old fashioned!! Like Grandma spent a whole afternoon crafting something warm and comforting. It was hearty, rich and decadent. I cooked mine in a 13x9 pan and it was done 10 minutes sooner than the receipe indicated,... — I_Cook_For_Firemen Feb 2, 2009

Cilantro Lime Rice

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by HappyVal  

I adjusted the recipe a bit: I used a little bit of chicken bouillon in the water when cooking the rice and eliminated the salt. I also used long grain brown rice for a healthier spin. VERY tasty! I'll be making this with all my mexican food... — I_Cook_For_Firemen Jan 9, 2009

Pumpkin Spice Bread

Posted by jmelyn  

I brought this to the firestation as a treat for the fireman and they were all asking for more. The 3 loaves that I made were gone in 15 minutes flat! Don't forget the cream cheese. I added a teaspoon of vanilla and about 1/2 teaspoon of... — I_Cook_For_Firemen Nov 17, 2008

Cheesy Orzo

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Muffin Goddess  

I halved this recipe since there was only 2 of us eating and it translated just fine. In addition to the ingredients listed below, I added a few red pepper flakes for some zip and it was a great addition. I also decided to add more cheese... — I_Cook_For_Firemen Oct 22, 2008

Why-I-Joined-Zaar Carrot Cake

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Lennie  

I made this for the guys at the firehouse and it was a HUGE hit. They all asked where the second cake was! I baked it in 2 9" rounds for about 40 minutes and they turned out perfectly. This would be a perfect recipe for Easter in a week! — I_Cook_For_Firemen Mar 13, 2008

Grilled Packet Potatoes

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Karen From Colorado  

I can't say enough how important it is to turn the potatoes often, even if they're in the oven. I didn't flip mine until they were almost "done" and they needed an extra 30 minutes to be soft. Otherwise, great taste! I added extra garlic,... — I_Cook_For_Firemen Mar 1, 2008

Romaine With Oranges and Pecans

Posted by Purdy Good Cook  

Toasting the pecans makes all the difference! This salad is definitely a keeper. Make sure to toss with the lettuce RIGHT before serving. You don't want a salad this good to get soggy! — I_Cook_For_Firemen Dec 24, 2007

Buttermilk Pie

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by thefensk  

Outstanding recipe! You can learn from my mistakes: timing is ULTRA important. When it gets just the hint of golden brown..take it out of the oven! Overdone buttermilk pie, as I learned, does not get the same rave reviews. That being said,... — I_Cook_For_Firemen Nov 5, 2007

Banana Banana Bread

Posted by Shelley Albeluhn  

THE. BEST. EVER. I added 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla and a dash of nutmeg, as suggested. It also needed 70 minutes to bake. I also left some larger banana chunks when mashing. I sprinkled the top of the bread with clear "sprinkles" to give it... — I_Cook_For_Firemen Nov 5, 2007
