2totravel rated and reviewed the recipe Cake Batter Cookie Stackers

"Awesome recipe no matter what color frosting is in them! I don't understand why people have so many problems with recipes, but maybe they need to "carefully" follow the directions by "reading" them a few times before they begin. Also check your oven temperature, don't trust what the dial says. Don't substitute anything until you have made the recipe at least once! More people are disappointed in the results because they don't follow directions because they don't read the instructions carefully. "

"This was especially good and easy. I did add extra pineapple & even added pineapple to the cooked rice along with some chopped spring onions. Will make again."

2totravel rated and reviewed the recipe Cheese- and Vegetable-Stuffed Shells

"This is one of the best we have ever tasted and I have very picky husband. Would not hesitate to serve this for company either. The only thing I would change is to add a few more olives and more veggies. So good and easy. I might add also that this freezes very well and did not change the taste any. Next time I make this I will double the recipe and freeze so I will always have a quick meal on hand. "

2totravel rated and reviewed the recipe Dijon Chicken Smothered in Mushrooms

"This was a great easy and quick recipe for chicken which in our house is usually boring. Loved the tang from the mustard, I used honey mustard instead of plain. Will be making this again and again."

2totravel rated and reviewed the recipe Orange Madeleines

"These are a wonderful change from cookies or cake. In fact they are a little of both. The only thing I changed was that I added a simple vanilla glaze instead of the sugar on the top. They really are wonderful and if you like you can change the flavor from orange to lemon. I also made these with a chocolate glaze which goes very well with the orange flavor."

2totravel rated and reviewed the recipe Ground Beef Risotto

"I made this the other night for my husband and I. Rice is not one of my husbands fav's, but he loved this. Good flavor! We actually ended up having enough to have leftovers for the next day and it tasted even better. Easy recipe which is what I was looking for. I think next time I will add peas or another veggie as this is a good base to add veggie leftovers without it changing the flavor."

2totravel rated and reviewed the recipe Heavenly Angel Food Cake

"I have been making this scratch Angel Food for years. I have one in the oven right now but thought I would share with others that this is truly the best ever. It sure beats the boxed mix or the ones you can buy in the grocery store! I use an easy vanilla glaze & sometimes add sprinkles just for fun. Otherwise it's strawberry's & whipped cream! Orange glaze, cherry glaze it doesn't matter it's just the best!"

2totravel rated and reviewed the recipe Ultimate Turtle Brownies

"Made these last week and they were a hit! No problem with the edges being dry, but I think it's because I didn't let them cool as suggested and when I put the carmel on it seeped down the sides of the bottom layer! Awesome! Everyone loved them. Great treat."

2totravel rated and reviewed the recipe Slow Cooker Swiss Steak Supper

"I usually have rave reviews for all of the recipes, but this one left a lot to be desired. I am not a begginer cook so I did not make a mistake in fact this was the 2nd time I made this recipe. Both times it came out rather tasteless. At first I thought it was the cut of meat so I changed to a better cut, but that wasn't it. Just does not have much flavor."

2totravel rated and reviewed the recipe Chocolate Orange Stripers

"Just got these out of the oven and oh my they are good! Just that little hint of orange makes this cookie impressive. The ribbon of chocolate certainly adds to flavor. Easy to make. I did however leave out the nuts as that isn't one of our favorite things in cookies. These will certainly make a nice presentation as a gift any time of year or just for your family."

2totravel rated and reviewed the recipe Chocolate-Marshmallow Pillows

"Oh my gosh when this recipe showed up in my email box I couldn't make it fast enough! They were the big holiday hit! But why wait for the holidays to enjoy these cookies? Easy, and the taste is unreal. Dark chocolate or milk chocolate it just doesn't matter."

2totravel rated and reviewed the recipe Slow Cooker Salsa Swiss Steak with Noodles

"Loved this recipe and it was so easy. I did not add the salsa however as we don't care for that flavor so much. But I did add some onion and used beef broth instead of water when I made the packet of gravy mix. This made the flavor stand out immensely. The meat was so tender and juicy and went perfect with the noodles. Next time I will try it over garlic mashed potatoes as I'm sure this will taste even better. Husband loved it! Need I say more?"

2totravel rated and reviewed the recipe Grilled Savory Cheese Potatoes

"I made these over the weekend on the BBQ and I have to be honest...they were not all that great. I would rather have made them in my frying pan to get some color and crispness to the potatoes then add the cheese to melt. I felt they were a little soggy done in the foil package."

2totravel rated and reviewed the recipe Garden Ranch Pasta Salad

"This is the best! I add whole black olives and sometimes pimento. This is such a hit! I did have a little leftover once, so I added a little sour cream.....so good!"

2totravel rated and reviewed the recipe Slow Cooker Barbecued Beans and Polish Sausage

"My husband and I loved this one! We both don't care for black beans as we think they are tasteless....so we used pork & beans and it came out great! Will make this again & again. I also serve cornbread along with this recipe"

2totravel rated and reviewed the recipe Ham and Cheese Ziti

"This is a great recipe especially if you have leftover ham like I did. I know the experts know best, but after looking in my kitchen I found I didn't have the same cheese. So I substituted chedder & instead of using just plain mustard I used Honey Mustard. Also not having any Parmesean I used Panko bread crumbs mixed with a little melted butter. Yes I sort of re-wrote the recipe but isn't that what cooking is all about! Big thumbs up for this one everyone!"

2totravel rated and reviewed the recipe Christmas Candy Cane Cookies

"I have been making this recipe for at least 20 years & yes it came from Betty Crocker! Everyone has always loved these. The only change I have ever made is to roll the dough in not just flour, but I also added a little powdered sugar to the board. My kids when they were younger didn't care for the peppermint extract, so I added a little more vanilla. The cookies are just as popular today as they were 20 years ago! My kids still ask me to make them."
