Baking Powder Biscuits (Drop type)

Posted by CookbookCarrie  

While these weren't the best baking powder biscuits I've ever made, they definitely were the easiest and quickest to make, and are an excellent go-to biscuit recipe that lends itself to many add-ins. The outside crust is delicious, and the inside... — sadielady Nov 15, 2009

Autumn Apple Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Posted by *Elaine*  

We thought these cupcakes were good, but not great. They weren't as moist as other apple cupcakes I've made and the flavour was a bit bland. I added a cinnamon/sugar swirl in the middle of the cupcake but even that didn't seem to boost the... — sadielady Nov 2, 2009

Holiday Mincemeat Cake

Posted by Irmgard  

This cake is delicious. It's almost identical to Canadian Living's Mincemeat Bundt Cake. The major difference is that the CL recipe calls for 2 cups of mincemeat instead of 3. Three cups seemed like a lot and I was worried that the cake might... — sadielady Sep 26, 2009

Sue B's Chocolate Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ms_bold  

This is a fantastic chocolate cake. It's very moist, dense but tender, and deeply chocolate. As some other reviewers noted, it gets more moist as it sits so is best made a day ahead of serving. I spread a thick layer of white chocolate ganache... — sadielady Aug 6, 2009

Old Fashioned Sour Cream Fudge Cake

Posted by Shar-on  

Superb!! This is an excellent traditional chocolate layer cake....rich, moist and deeply chocolate. The cake flour makes the crumb tender, but I didn't find the cake fragile. It cut beautifully with a serrated knife. Watch the baking time. My... — sadielady Aug 1, 2009

Dunking Platters

Posted by Recipe Junkie  

Excellent cookies. Great flavour and not too sweet. When first baked they were crispy on the outside and chewy inside, but the crispness went away on storage. I added a pinch of salt. Made 1/4 recipe which yielded 14 fairly large thin cookies. — sadielady Aug 1, 2009

Burt Reynolds Beef Stew

Posted by Cookin In Texas  

I've also been making this since the 70's, and agree that it's excellent. It helps to brown the meat in batches so that the pan isn't overcrowded. I use unpeeled baby red potatoes cut in half or left whole (depending on the size). Cuts down on... — sadielady Sep 28, 2008

Mom's Chocolate Cupcakes

Posted by kmdipaolo  

Excellent cupcakes! Deeply chocolate, very moist and tender crumb. I added 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips and used Ghirardelli cocoa. I also used brewed coffee with 2 tbsp. of instant espresso powder dissolved in it instead of the water.... — sadielady May 3, 2008

Giant Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted by Hydra  

These cookies will appeal to anyone who likes a big thick firm chocolate chip cookie. The description "Chips Ahoy on steroids" really fits! We loved the crunchy little salty bits mixed in with the sweet chocolate. I used a scant 1/4 cup batter for... — sadielady Feb 12, 2008

Best Banana Bread

Posted by Steve_G  

If you're looking for a delicious traditional banana bread that's quick and easy to make, this is a good one. The crumb is moist, dense, and tender, and the banana flavour is moderately strong. I used sour cream instead of yogurt, and added 1... — sadielady Jan 31, 2008

Banana Poppy Seed Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by KITTENCAL  

This is a winner! Definitely one of the best, if not the best, banana cakes I've ever made, or eaten. I made it in a bundt pan and covered it with a thick caramel frosting instead of a cream cheese frosting. The cake is very moist; the crumb is... — sadielady Oct 26, 2007

Mini Shrimp and Feta Casseroles

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by ~Leslie~  

Two thumbs up for this dish! It's excellent. The seasonings are perfectly balanced so that nothing overpowers. Although the Ouzo is optional I think it has an impact on the flavour of the dish. You can't identify it amongst the other seasonings... — sadielady Aug 22, 2007

Dad's Oatmeal Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by heather in Ont,  

I have this same recipe but had forgotten just how delicious these cookies are. They're buttery crisp on the outside with a slight toothsome chew to the inside. They're not too sweet. You can add a bit of cinnamon and allspice if you prefer a... — sadielady May 8, 2007

Pork Tenderloin With Balsamic-Cranberry Sauce

Posted by ~Nimz~  

I was a bit disappointed in this after all the rave reviews. I thought the sauce was very good and an excellent way to use up leftover cranberry sauce, but I found that something was lacking in the flavour of the pork itself, even though the meat... — sadielady Oct 24, 2006

Elvis Presley's Favorite Whipping Cream Pound Cake

(10 people found this helpful) Posted by 1Steve  

I gave this cake 5 stars, but for me it was really only 4.5 stars. I thought it needed a bit of a flavour boost. The texture is excellent. The crumb is very dense but tender...it almost melts in your mouth. It's velvety smooth, moist, but not... — sadielady Oct 18, 2006

Awesome Marinade for Pork Tenderloin

Posted by Chippie  

This is very good. The tenderloin was charred on the outside and juicy and pink inside. It was done in 20 minutes. I used ginger in the marinade instead of cinnamon. I reserved the marinade, added a bit of cornstarch, heated it till thickened... — sadielady Aug 9, 2006

Grilled Herb Shrimp

Fantastic! So easy and so delicious. The shrimp were plump, juicy and flavourful. Marinated them for 24 hours in the fridge. Would not change a thing in the recipe. The flavours were perfectly balanced. This is now our favourite grilled... — sadielady Aug 2, 2006

Spiced Applesauce Bread

(6 people found this helpful) Posted by Caryn  

We loved this bread. It's incredibly moist, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the spices are well-balanced. I reduced the oil to 1/3 cup and will try 1/4 cup the next time to see if there's an appreciable difference in the texture. I added a... — sadielady Jun 8, 2006

Rhubarb Bread

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by CountryLady  

You'd never know from the flavour and texture that this is a low fat quick bread. It's light and moist. I agree that you couldn't really taste the rhubarb and wouldn't chop it as fine the next time. The orange flavour is very subtle. I added 1... — sadielady May 29, 2006
