Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Chocolate chip bundt cake

    • ChrysOrtega on February 21, 2026

      This cake was a fail for me. I immediately fell flat when I pulled it from the oven and had a deflated look when it cooled. The flavor was very box cake with a spongy texture

  • Sour cream coffee cake

  • Noodle salad with Asian dressing

    • hbakke on January 20, 2021

      Good noodle salad. I used rainbow carrots and a couple handfuls of frozen mixed bell peppers, since I was out of fresh. I think it turned out well even though I forgot to rinse the rice noodles before mixing with the dressing and vegetables. I would make this again.
