Really Easy, Really Good French Bread

Posted by stonecoldcrazy  

Amazing!! I do wish I'd read the other review, mine browned quite a bit - but it was still delicious! I couldn't believe it didn't need any kneading. I added rosemary for an Italian meal, and it was superb. This will be my go-to french bread... — LeighAnn Aug 11, 2009

Unbelievable Apple Pie

Posted by Caroline Cooks  

This was fantastic! I used french vanilla pudding mix, and my co-worker used coconut cream. Both were delicious. My husband and I ate 3/4 of the pie in one sitting... oops BTW, the butter for the topping should be softened, not melted.... — LeighAnn Mar 25, 2009

Super Moist Chocolate Cake

Posted by Baker Gal  

This is a great cake. Tested it against two other recipes, and while they were all good, this was the easiest, and voted the best by my husband (who does not like sweets and... um... had two pieces). — LeighAnn Nov 25, 2008

Crock Pot Lasagna

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Derf  

The sauce was much too tomato-ey for us - too rich - so I made it again using our regular jarred pasta sauce and loved it. The technique is great, and the noodles are perfectly cooked. I love the double layer idea. — LeighAnn Oct 1, 2008

Fresh Texas Guacamole

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Jessica K  

Fantastic! I've been making my own guacamole ever since I found this recipe - I make it for just two people with one avocado, juice from 1/2 lime, 2 Tbsp salsa, and garlic salt - that's it!! So simple, and so delicious. I love it. — LeighAnn May 16, 2008

Saucy Pork and Potato Crock Pot

Posted by Lorac  

This was amazing! Unfortunately I did not have cream of celery soup, so I substituted cream of mushroom - also left out the potatoes. It turned out fabulous. The chops were very tender, and the sauce was delicious over rice. Thank you! — LeighAnn Mar 13, 2008

Kittencal's Best Blasted Rapid-Roast Whole Chicken

Posted by KITTENCAL  

Delicious. My chicken was about 4 1/2 pounds, so it took a little longer to cook, and I fudged on the seasonings - use a little of this, a little of that, and whatever I have in the cupboard - but we loved it. Thanks! — LeighAnn Dec 31, 2007

Jambalaya

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Audrey Chapman  

This was delicious. I wasn't sure what converted rice was, so I used regular white long grain and it worked just fine. I sometimes leave out the shrimp, depending on whether I have some or not. Thanks for a great weeknight dinner recipe! — LeighAnn Oct 30, 2007

Bavarian Apple Torte

Posted by bert  

Delicious ~ everyone loved it! I was concerned about it not setting, or underbaking, so I baked it for about 30 minutes to be sure and then refrigerated it for a few hours before serving. I loved the complexity of all the flavors working together.... — LeighAnn Oct 21, 2007

Simmered Cabbage

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Julesong  

Really good, and exactly what I wanted to go with a roast pork loin and sweet potatoes. I used more than half the cabbage, probably about 3/4 (as much as I could fit in the skillet). I didn't use the sherry. Fantastic! Thanks. — LeighAnn Oct 15, 2007

Cinnamon Bun Cake

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by sugaree  

It was good, but I had some problems with it. I greased the pans really well, but the brown sugar layers spread all the way to the edge and then stuck there, so I tried to pick them out and stick them on top of the cake, but it didn't really work.... — LeighAnn Oct 15, 2007

Low-Fat Carrot Cake Muffins (That Don't Taste Low-Fat!)

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by KITTENCAL  

I thought they need salt, maybe 1/4 tsp or so. Otherwise, they were pretty good. I liked all the different things in them. But without salt they taste bland, and I threw out most of the batch. I'll try them again though - Thanks anyway. — LeighAnn Oct 14, 2007

Vanilla Bean Cheesecake With Walnut Crust

Posted by NcMysteryShopper  

Excellent texture, and delicious too. But I didn't like the almond extract, it gave it a funny aftertaste. Next time I'll either omit it or just use more vanilla, because I think the vanilla flavor could have been a little stronger. I used half &... — LeighAnn Oct 10, 2007

No-Beat Popovers

Posted by LAURIE  

I've never had popovers, but these were fun, and turned out well. I had some lumps, but I'd read that overmixing would have bad results, so I supposed that's what the "disregarding lumps" meant. I baked them in a muffin tin, and should have taken... — LeighAnn Aug 30, 2007

World's Best Chocolate Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by JCrosgrey  

This was really good cake. I did add a teaspoon of salt, since there wasn't any in the recipe and sometimes it makes a huge difference. I used a fudge frosting made with chocolate chips, milk, and butter. Thanks! — LeighAnn Aug 23, 2007

Waldorf-Astoria Red Velvet Cake

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by troyh  

This was amazing. I halved the recipe, used dutch process cocoa, and a buttermilk substitute. I've heard red velvet cakes are easy to overbake, and my oven runs hot, so I baked it at 325 and watched it carefully - took about 22 minutes. Take it... — LeighAnn Jun 29, 2007

Roasted Green Beans

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Seamouse  

I wasn't sure how these would turn out. This is how I usually roast asparagus, but I'd never tried it with fresh green beans before. They were SO much better than I expected! DH kept stealing them from the dish right out of the oven. I didn't use... — LeighAnn Jun 19, 2007

Lullaby Banana Muffins

Posted by A Messy Cook  

These are just what I was looking for. I halved the recipe since my husband doesn't eat whole wheat flour I didn't use pastry flour, just regular whole wheat flour. I'm sure it would have been a little better if I'd had the perfect texture, but... — LeighAnn May 21, 2007

Instant Oatmeal Cookie

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Jonesament  

This was fun. It's a soft cookie, not a crunchy one - but very good. I used maple and brown sugar flavor, which was excellent. It would probably have been great with raisins or chocolate chips as well. — LeighAnn May 16, 2007

Turkey Meatloaf

My husband doesn't like ground turkey, but this meatloaf is the ONE exception. The consistency is fantastic - it stays together perfectly and has a wonderful flavor. I tried using just one pound of turkey and it worked fine, I just added a few... — LeighAnn May 16, 2007
