DemeChef reviewed friedbluetomato’s Lemon Cupcakes Recipe. 09/27/2021
These are very tasty cupcakes! The recipe really does make enough for 30 cupcakes, so make sure you have your pans ready. Simple and pure flavors, they were especially scrumptious made with lemons from my MIL's tree. The whipped cream frosting is SUPER easy! I've made these twice in the past week - special request for my son's birthday. I did reduce the sugar to about 1/4c in the cream frosting because my family doesn't like things to be too sweet. These are a new 'go to' for lemon cupcakes.

DemeChef reviewed Rosemary’s Roasted Pumpkin Seeds Recipe. 10/31/2020
Excellent! The low and slow method this recipe uses makes the whole seed crunchy and tasty. In the past I've used a higher temp for shorter time, and the outside is always too fibrous. The use of butter is decadently indulgent - greasy yummy fun!

DemeChef reviewed John Mitzewich’s Easy Baked Beef Brisket. 09/16/2020

This is an amazing recipe! I'd never made brisket before, and after the sticker shock experienced when buying a 5.5 pound hunk of meat, I really didn't want to mess it up. I used a dry rub that I had on hand (instead of just the salt and pepper) which helped flavor the gravy because I didn't have any rosemary. I also used a blender to get that gravy to the proper texture. That step is really worth the effort. With such a big piece of meat, of course there were leftovers of this melt in your mouth tender beef -so it was dinner on night #2 (and hopefully #3!) and it was so easy to heat up the meat in that gravy. For tonight, I'm going to use it to make shredded beef burritos. It also makes for scrumptious sandwiches with just the meat and gravy on a burger bun... all around approvals from the Picky Eater Family!

DemeChef reviewed Linda’s Carrot Pineapple Cake Recipe. 01/27/2019
User-submitted image of completed recipe
Easy and delicious! I subbed applesauce for oil and whipped this up for a surprise party. The guest of honor’s favorite cakes are carrot and pineapple, so this seemed perfect! Rich and moist, but not heavy, it was a resounding success, despite the fact that I had to cheat and use premade frosting (while the cake was still warm). I am so glad I saw that it really should be mixed with a wooden spoon (don’t haul out that stand mixer, except maybe for the frosting). The only problem was that my hubby and kids smelled the heavenly aroma while baking, but didn’t get to taste the cake. No problem, it was so easy that I will be making it again very soon.
