Key Lime Pie

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Nana Lee  

This is a wonderful, tart Key Lime Pie that kindled memories of Key West! This traditional recipe wins kudos hands down over sweeter ones that are often like lime cheesecake. I used just one 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk with about 1/2... — TommyGato Aug 25, 2009

Buttermilk Pudding

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Recipe Junkie  

Very tasty seved with whipped topping!! I was puzzled by the ingredients calling for 2 oz. packages of gelatin and decided to use 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin. This was consistent with the amount of liquids called for and worked well. I... — TommyGato Aug 28, 2008

Orange-Coconut Angel Food Cake

Posted by *Elaine*  

This cake was a huge hit at a friend's birthday dinner! We love moist, filled cakes so I took the liberty of doubling the pudding ingredients. The cake was generously filled and with almost a cup left over, I folded the remaining pudding mixture... — TommyGato Aug 17, 2008

Orange-Pineapple Delight

Posted by Lennie  

This light treat is easy and seems amazingly rich even when made with sugar free gelatin and low fat or fat free cream cheese. I've tried variations with different fruit/juice and gelatin flavors that also work well--though orange-pineapple is... — TommyGato Jul 21, 2008

Cherry-Chocolate Cake

Posted by Ginny Ross  

Oh yum!! I've made this simple recipe several times and have a few tips. Use red (tart) cherry pie filling; dark sweet cherry filling seems dull compared to the normal red cherry. Be sure to avoid a sugar-free pie filling as the cake won't rise... — TommyGato Mar 15, 2008

Mrs Cobb's Coconut Cake

Posted by Mysterygirl  

I want to rave about the filling! Everyone loved it, definitely five stars!! I added about 1/4 tsp. of fresh nutmeg for flavor and an extra tbs. of "juice" to get a consistency I liked. The cake would be fine for cupcakes but for a layer cake... — TommyGato Aug 18, 2007

Delphene's Protein Bar

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by 1ginger  

This is really an outstanding recipe. The bars are highly addictive, having a texture like chewey brownies. I saw this same recipe on a bodybuilding site but noted 2 differences: They called for a cup of lite syrup to control carbs I suspect,... — TommyGato Oct 5, 2006

Easy Chocolate Crumb Pudding

Posted by Ocean~Ivy  

Thanks for posting this, Ocean~Ivy! I'm wondering if step or two is left out since the milk, butter & egg yokes aren't mentioned in the instructions. I decided to stir them in before step 2 but didn't thicken it. Later it was hard to combine... — TommyGato Sep 18, 2005

Thank you for posting this recipe for the sauce! It really deserves 5 stars because it is tasty, just like the resturants, and has a lot less butter. I found more detailed frying instructions from another recipe and flavored my flour with... — TommyGato Sep 4, 2005

British Scones

Nice texture and they rose nicely without baking powder. I also baked for about 12 minutes and used a little more sugar and sprinkled some on top. Yum!! — TommyGato Aug 20, 2005

Zucchini Cobbler

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Teah English  

I was looking for a recipe to use zucchini from the summer garden and this is a great one. It is a forgiving recipe too--I forgot to add the pineapple and juice until it was ready to go in the oven. Instead, I drizzled the juice around the edges... — TommyGato Aug 11, 2005

Strawberry Sour Cream Ice Cream

Posted by Amberngriffinco  

I made some lower-fat substitutions (2% milk for half and half and reduced fat sour cream) and was very pleased with this recipe. The "zing" was less than expected; sweet and nicely tart seems more descriptive. I reserved about 1/2 cup of the... — TommyGato May 25, 2005

To Die for Oatmeal Chip Cookies

Posted by Shirl (J) 831  

These have a great texture, crusty on top, crunchy around the edges and soft in the middle. They needed a few extra minutes on an insulated cookie sheet. I had doubts about the sparse amount of flour called for, but the recipe was fine as... — TommyGato Mar 12, 2005

Sour Cream Softies

Posted by 1Steve  

Snickerdoodles? Yes, they're similar. But I think the texture is more like scones. I can't wait to try this recipe adding perhaps 1/2 cup of currants and leaving off the cinnamon sugar. — TommyGato Feb 27, 2005

Chocolate Chip Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Honeybeee  

This is an easy, classic chocochip cookie recipe! Using an insulated cookie sheet, they came out lightly browned, slightly chewy inside and a little crisp on the bottom and edges. The amount of chocolate is generous (just right I say). What... — TommyGato Feb 19, 2005

Biscuits for Biscuits and Gravy

(8 people found this helpful) Posted by Tonkcats  

These are very tender and tasty. They have less baking powder than most biscuits and don't rise quite as tall as some, but for biscuits and gravy they're perfect. After adding the milk, the dough held together quite well so I didn't knead it. I... — TommyGato Dec 2, 2004

Italian Meatballs

Posted by Christine Bettiga  

These meatballs were a hit and are so easy to make! The hot oven not only sears in the meat juices but the aromas of the herbs, garlic, and wine too. This was my first time baking meatballs and it won't be the last. I think they're better than... — TommyGato Sep 9, 2004

Best-ever Beef Barley Soup

(6 people found this helpful) Posted by NoSpringChicken  

I haven't tried a tomato based beef barley soup before and this one was really good. I also left out the green peppers but added about 3/4c of frozen corn. Also, I cubed leftover steak and roast instead of using ground beef. This "soup" comes... — TommyGato Aug 3, 2004

Hummus

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Charishma Ramchandani  

This was my first attempt at making Hummus and I couldn't be happier. Overall the flavors are very well balanced and subtle, especially the lemony tartness with the garlic and underlying sesame. Cumin was the strongest noticable flavor, but it... — TommyGato Jun 21, 2004
