Swilli47 rated and reviewed the recipe Mexican Chocolate Cake

"Turned out very good and of course the cake was easy using the mix....but I agree w all that had trouble w the frosting. It took FOREVER to camelize, like a half hour of constant stirring, so that was not fun. Then when I added the milk and powdered sugar, it got grainy and there were pieces of hard sugar in it. I kept whipping and whipping it w my stand mixer and would have thrown it out except that company was coming and I was out of sugar to make more....so put it on. It's super thick and couldn't spread it on the whole cake as it was pulling up the top of the cake. I disguised this by shaving chocolate all over it. Everyone loved it but I would never make the frosting again. What a pain!"

Swilli47 rated and reviewed the recipe Chocolate Chip Scones

"These were so quick and easy to make. Very good warm and even good later as a snack. I've never made scones and I'll definitely make again and try some of the other recipes too."

Swilli47 rated and reviewed the recipe Applesauce Spice Cake

"My husband and I loved this cake. I did not add raisins as we are not fans, but it is so good. Took to work and everyone raved about it. Very moist and easy to make. I just used a hand mixer."

Swilli47 rated and reviewed the recipe Creamy Southwestern Corn Chowder

"This soup was great and so easy. My husband grilled some shrimp and we cut them up and added them. We also steeped the shrimp shells in the broth for 15 minutes and that gave it a good flavor. Will definitely make again and double the recipe."

Swilli47 rated and reviewed the recipe Streusel-Topped Blueberry Muffins

"These muffins are so good and easy. No mixer needed, just fold together with a spatula. They are not very sweet but my husband and I loved them! The streusel is very good on top."
