Sam's Famous Carrot Cake.
Rave reviews! There’s no reason to have another carrot cake recipe. I generally don’t make changes to recipes that I’m trying, but due to an abundance of dried cherries and not so many raisins, cherries it was. Great tart counter-point to the sweet. I topped it with a bourbon butter-cream and fireworks! Sam may be gone, but his carrot cake recipe lives on.

Oven Baked Jambalaya Recipe.

Great flavor! I dislike reviews that go on about changing this or adding that, well, I’m going there, just slightly. I added a puck of “More Than Gourmet” Classic Seafood Stock for depth. Next time, I’ll need to adjust moisture-to-rice ratio, as it was a little to moist for my wife’s liking, but only a minor tweak. All-in-all, a yummy Cajun dish. Oysters?

Cinnamon Rolls II Recipe.
This is a very good recipe. I found that I needed nearly 8 cups of flour vs 6 to create a workable dough. With that adjustment I ended up with exactly 24 rolls. I rolled raisins in with the brown sugar/cinnamon, cuz my wife likes them in there. Dried cherries or cranberries would work as well. This will be my go-to going forward!

Happy Shrimp Recipe.

Very good and very easy! Creamy with good depth of flavor. I did make an addition, and that was a couple handfuls of fresh baby spinach. I sautéed it with the shrimp just as they finished cooking. Otherwise, this is outstanding as written.

Amish White Bread.
I’ve made this recipe several times and it comes out perfect every time. I dispensed with loaf pans early on and have gone to a free-form “football” on a baking sheet with silpat. Everyone who has tried it has wanted the recipe. A definite go-to!

Homemade Hamburger Buns.
These buns turn out great. I found that I could actually get 12 normal size buns out of this recipe, cuz otherwise you end up with 8 gigantic buns. In any case, there’s no reason to buy them at the grocery store again. Once again, thanks Chef John!

Comforting Sloppy Joes Recipe.
Great find for some CoronoV stay at home food. As was just for two I cut the recipe to make it with 1 pound of bison. Added a bit of smoked paprika and some tomato sauce as we like ours especially sloppy :-)

Oatmeal Chocolate Coconut Chewy Recipe.

Definitely a go-to recipe!! 2 minor changes - Chunks instead of chips, and pecans cuz I didn't have walnuts, otherwise, made as directed. Spectacular!!

Best Old-Fashioned Creamy Rice Pudding.
Sometimes the simplest things are the best! This is made with basic ingredients and is a very easy process. Next time I'm going to try adding some dried cranberries, or cherries, and probably some rum. Definitely a ”go-to”!

Comforting Sloppy Joes Recipe.
This was pretty good. Made the first time just as the recipe said, second time I left the vinegar and brown sugar out and replaced with root beer, we liked it better the second go around. Liked it better the second time.
