Easy Red Velvet Cake

I made the cake with the changes suggested by another user: I added 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup water, 1/3 cup Veg. Oil, 3 Eggs, 1 tsp. Vanilla. It was just okay - not something I would make again and definitely not something that got rave reviews.

Apple Crisp

Absolutely delicious. I followed the recommendations of others and was very pleased. I used just 4 Granny Smith Apples (med-large in size) in a 9 inch square pan and kept all the other ingredient quantities the same. I also omitted the water as recommended, and that worked out great as well. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this with the modifications suggested by others (browned onions with beef; added tomato sauce to beef; layered pasta then beef then cheeses; covered with foil to bake) and it was pretty good. It wasn't amazing but everyone enjoyed it and I would consider making it again.

Crème Brûlée French Toast

I wanted to love this recipe but it turned out way too soggy. I followed other recommendations of flipping the bread halfway through the baking and even reduced the amount of eggs. The flavoring was fantastic (otherwise I'd only give it 2 stars) but I just can't see myself making it again because it was just so soggy.

Iced Pumpkin Cookies

Excellent! These are definitely worth the 5 stars. I didn't change a thing on the recipe and these turned out delicious. My only warning is don't store them in a closed container (e.g. tupperware) because they will get very soggy.

Cinnamon Rolls
Rating: Unrated

These cinnamon rolls were excellent. The dough was perfection and I will likely use it from now on when I make cinnamon rolls. However, as several other reviewers noted, the insides of the rolls were just not quite right. They were good, but I like mine sweeter and gooier. I followed the directions exactly and just didn't achieve perfection with this recipe. It's still excellent and I'll use the dough portion again, though.

Chocolate Cookie Buttercream Frosting

Perfect! I needed a basic vanilla frosting recipe and couldn't find one with good reviews. So I took this one and ommitted the cocoa then added one extra teaspoon of vanilla as suggested by another reviewer. It was excellent!

Japanese-Style Sesame Green Beans

Perfect!! These were easy and very tasty. I substituted frozen green beans because that's what I had on hand. I microwaved those to just about room temperature before proceeding with the rest of the directions and they turned out great. I've made these twice in two weeks and will defintely be making them again. Great recipe.

Delicious! I made this for the first time tonight and was pleasantly surprised. I was worried it would be bland, but it had a really nice taste. I used thin-sliced chicken breast fillets so I slightly reduced the cooking time and they turned out wonderful. I will definitely be making these again.

Homemade Wonderful Bread

Delicious! I just made this tonight and it was wonderful. The white bread I've made in a bread machine so far. I will definitely make this again. The only tricky part to me was figuring out which order to place the ingredients in the bread pan, but apparently it worked out fine because the bread was great! I didn't make any modifications.
