chicken recipe with white rice worked out perfectly. Thought the rice isn't part of the recipe, it's super easy to make so I couldn't say no to the Taste of Home suggestion of serving the chicken and its sauce over some white rice. Definitely a thumbs up on this recipe.

own "double boiler" and melted it that way (the recipe says to melt it in the microwave, but I just don't have the patience for that and I almost always burn it that way!). After the batter was all made it baked for almost a half hour. One thing I wish I had for after that was done was a wired cooling rack. I was only able to take one cake out of its pan to cool completely while the other had to cool inside its pan. So when it came time to frosting and layers the two cakes, I had a hard time getting the other one out. It all worked out though. The frosting hid all the imperfections, and it still tasted delicious. I would definitely make this recipe again. Thumbs up.

interesting because everyone loves Syberg's sauce. I wonder if it's different when using it at home versus ordering it at the restaurant? Hmm. I bought an electric skillet for this and I'm in love with it. It was so easy to use and so easy to clean up. I may start using this for everything. The temperature was easy to set and consistent throughout the whole cook time. I can't do that with my stove top!! I'll give this recipe a thumbs up. 

up in the trash, which is really sad since I spent my hard earned money on this. I guess it was bound to happen eventually... maybe I can try eating it while drinking? Nah I don't think that would work. Anyone have an idea? I may just endure it. I do love these pita chips. 

Thumbs way, way down.

could be way wrong on that one!) They were delicious for sure. I used Land Shark as the beer of choice (ya know, to make it more beach like), and opted not to add fresh lime slices or salt on the rim. The one thing I would change for next time, I'd want to strain the lime juice before mixing the ingredients. I hated that once I got to the bottom of the glass it was full of pulp. Gah, pulp! Other than that, this drink was delicious and I would definitely make it again!

would normally make it. Yes, it uses Velveeta, but instead of Rotel, it used green chilies and pimentos as the main ingredient. Sounds really weird, but it was strangely really good. Who would have thought to put some diced pimentos into Queso dip? Not me, but thanks Taste of Home cookbook for helping me realize this geniusness. I would definitely make this again.

​Thumbs way, way up.
