Great Recipe Experiment 2012 #8.5
Dec. 31st, 2012 07:51 amI"m calling this a 1/2 experiment as I did not follow the original recipe much at all, instead using a family recipe for almost all of it.

This is what I won the dessert revel with yesterday at Baronial Champs. Not in any way period but damn tasty. My Grandmother used to make this and I once did it as a 4-H public presentation.
Can be made as cupcakes or in cake format. It is great as a bundt cake but I couldn't find the pan so I made it as a regular cake (for the event I doubled the recipe).

Jul. 3rd, 2010 08:09 pmDid not take pictures before we ate it. Sorry.
But I yet again, experimented on the girls today for dinner. I found a recipe that I thought would be good for having when the Minion comes for dinner (seeing how she is vegetarian). Unfortunately schedules did not permit for her to be here for dinner tonight, but Dicea and Kate helped me by being test subjects for:
( Pasta Pizza Pie )
Rating: 3.25
It was good. Filling and certainly works for a vegetarian main dish for those times when such thing is needed.
The girls talked about how to "improve it" with better binder in the crust, more veggies, etc. But I will let them comment if they so choose to say what they thought about it.

May. 2nd, 2010 05:04 pmWith the Minion being vegetarian and
dicea going more and more vegetarian, I'm attempting to bring more *gasp* vegetables into my diet so that I'm not entirely carnivore around them. So I've been trying new soups. First I did the chicken tortilla soup (which can be made without the chicken) and today I tried a new one.

Great Recipe Experiment 2010 #2
Jan. 24th, 2010 11:38 amI woke up this morning wanting muffins. Now, I"ve never made muffins really. Not the cake like goodness. I've made "Muffins" that were really more biscuit than muffin. Even back when I was baking in 4-H I never did muffins. I did coffee cakes and the like instead.
But I figured this morning would be a good a day as any to try.
So I broke out the cookbooks and found one that sounded interesting. And I had all but one ingredient in the house and the one I didn't have I didn't really need.
So thus was GRE 2010 #2 ( Bacon Cheese Muffins )
Rating (out of 5): solid 4
