Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Rice-A-Roni salad

    • chawkins on November 19, 2023

      A lot of chopping but quite nice. I use the low sodium rice-a-roni.

  • Sugar snap peas with bacon dressing

    • MarciK on June 26, 2024

      I picked up sugar snap peas from the farmer’s market and a sirloin tip roast. This was a perfect recipe for the side to the roast beef. Delicious, easy to make. You can make ahead and reheat as well.

  • Hummingbird cake

    • latasha_m7d1xo on May 12, 2026

      This is a super moist cake. So much so, my top layer broke in half. You may want to chill the cake layers before frosting to prevent it from breaking like mine did. Also, the frosting amount was not a lot. Next time, I’m going to double the frosting amount to ensure the entire cake is well frosted. Other than that, it is a yummy cake that I will definitely make again!
