OkusamawaJaponesa rated and reviewed the recipe Luscious Layer Bars

"I made these as this recipe looked good and easy. I didn't put chocolate chips as I didn't have any that day. They still came out great and yummy! 36 bars were too many for 3 of us so I had my husband take some to share with his people at work the next day. He called me and told me that they were gone in an hour, and even some people from another section heard about it and came looking for it. When he came home, he had a list of people wanted the recipe!"

OkusamawaJaponesa rated and reviewed the recipe Cheddar-Salsa Biscuit Bites

"These came out dry and taste sort of powdery. They smell good and look very nice but it's just dry and plain and doesn't have "kick" to it. They are OK if you use dip such as nacho cheese or salsa, serve them with soup or something. I have to work on this for improvement."

OkusamawaJaponesa rated and reviewed the recipe Chocolate Malt Ice-Cream Cake

"I make this ice cream cake for everybody's birthday in my family. I alternate ice cream by individual likings - So far I have used vanilla, cookies and cream, and mint chocolate chips. They all came out great. You can get creative with toppings and make special one just for you!"

OkusamawaJaponesa rated and reviewed the recipe Cream Cheese Pound Cake

"I love cream cheese and when I looked at this recipe I had to make it. I was disappointed because the cake came out dry and a bit salty. (It's too Bisquick-y.) Sprinkling with powdered sugar would not be a good way to serve this cake - it's too dry and plain by itself. It needs to be with something for moisture and flavor; such as whipped cream, ice cream, yogurt, or fruit toppings. I topped with whipped cream and sliced strawberries and bananas."

OkusamawaJaponesa rated and reviewed the recipe Quick Cheeseburger Bake

"I didn't have cheddar cheese soup so I used cream of mushroom soup and a little bit of melted cheese instead. I also cut up carrots in small pieces and cooked with onions, then added some corn in beef mixture instead of using frozen mixed vegetables. (Peas didn't sound appealing to me for this dish.) It was easy to make and tasted great. My husband and my son enjoyed it very much. The only thing was that the crust was a little dry. Next time I will add something to Buisquick batter to give a little moist."

OkusamawaJaponesa rated and reviewed the recipe Easy Chicken Pot Pie

"This is a great recipe to use Thanksgiving left over turkey. Last year I was determined not to waste and it was the first time ever I used it all. And this is one of the dish that helped me achieve the goal. It was very easy to make and tasted great. Kids didn't even notice it had leftover turkey in it."

OkusamawaJaponesa rated and reviewed the recipe Pumpkin Bars

"This is very easy to make and I was actually surprised it came out so great. I used 1-3/4 cup brown sugar instead of 2 cups granulated sugar. Delicious and SO moist! It was so good that I decided to share with my friends. They loved it, too. This is definitely a keeper!"

OkusamawaJaponesa rated and reviewed the recipe Bavarian Pork Chops

"This recipe was sent to me on Dinner Made Easy newsletter a few weeks ago. It looked very good but I wasn't too sure about the combination of apples and sauerkraut... I read reviews and decided to try it anyways. I am glad I did because it was VERY GOOD. I added a little more barbecue sauce at the last 15 minutes. My husband and my son both had second servings. It was a hit!"

OkusamawaJaponesa rated and reviewed the recipe Ham and Cheese Foldover Sandwiches

"When I saw this recipe, I thought this was a great way to use left over turkey. I cut up turkey meat into small pieces and made a few different versions - curried turkey with (shredded)mild cheddar, Taco turkey with Mexican blend cheese, and plain (no extra flavor) with just mayo, mustard, and Swiss cheese (added a little bit of chopped onions). They were all very good. My husband and son loved them. They called it "Turkey Hot Pockets". Their favorite was the plain one. I can make all kinds of different hot pockets using this recipe!"

OkusamawaJaponesa rated and reviewed the recipe Sweet Country Cornbread

"I'm not sure what I did wrong... I don't think I over-mixed it... Is that because I used lowfat milk??? The taste was OK but it came out too dry. It was so crumbly that we made quite a mess at the dinner table. I will try another recipe for cornbread."

OkusamawaJaponesa rated and reviewed the recipe Sour Cream-Dill Bread

"This bread looked so good when it came out of the oven and I was very pleased... until I sliced it. The edges started to fall apart as I ran a knife through it. I don't think I over mixed since I read the comment and I was careful not to do it. I followed the direction, too. I'm not sure if this is how it is, for this is not yeast based bread? There's a review says that they made sandwiches, but mine was a little too crumbly to make sandwiches. You definitely need a fork and a plate to eat this sandwich, it will make a mess. I'm confused. It tastes good though."

OkusamawaJaponesa rated and reviewed the recipe Lemon Velvet Cream Cake

"Scrumptious! We love this cake. We like it very lemon-y so I add lemon zest to cake mixture and I even squeeze a bit of lemon juice in frosting. My daughter said she would never be too full for a piece of this cake!"

OkusamawaJaponesa rated and reviewed the recipe Spiced Pumpkin Praline Roll

"I found this recipe 2 years ago and fell in love with it. So far I have created 3 different versions (mocha, lemon, and apple). They are all very good. Mocha is very popular among the ladies at my work. I am planning to create more... spiced tea, matcha (green tea), and mango (my husband's request), too. This roll cake is sort of thin and my husband, who loves this so much, can finish the whole roll in one day. So I normally double the ingredient to make a big one!"

OkusamawaJaponesa rated and reviewed the recipe Lemon Creme Bars

"I was not too impressed with this one. Every time I use cookie mix, they seem to overpower everything and ruin the main factor of whatever you are making. They are not too bad and this will be convenient if you need make something quickly. I rather stay away from short-cut, though."

OkusamawaJaponesa rated and reviewed the recipe Molten Butterscotch Cakes

"This was SO GOOD!!! My husband loved it. The only thing is that the cake cracks when I take it out of the cup. I might try to bake it a little longer next time. This is a great dessert for a cold evening."

OkusamawaJaponesa rated and reviewed the recipe Broccoli and Tuna on Biscuits

"For some reason, this came out "too fish-y" for my taste. It's like canned tuna flavor overpowered everything. It was OK but not our favorite."
