Husband requested a Key Lime Pie and I selected this recipe because it was highly rated and simple. Wow! It’s amazingly good! The best Key Lime Pie we’ve ever had. I even used a pre-made pie crust and bottled lime juice... still delicious! One thing though: 5-8 minutes for bake time? No way. It was done after 15 minutes at 350°. 5 stars and husband approved!
One of our favorite soups. We never eat canned soup and recipes like this one is why. I did give it 5 stars because once you get it right, it is delicious. As written it is probably a 3 or 4 star recipe. Here are the problems: too much liquid for the amount of tomatoes. I do not use any more than 3 1/2 cups of half and half. At 4 cups it is too watery and loses flavor. Also, I add some crushed garlic and about a 1/4 c of chopped onion. I feel it is lacking without. I do not use canned tomatoes but instead fresh, organic and organic half and half instead of milk. This soup is absolutely the best tomato soup we've ever had.
After reading all the reviews and confusion "change this, add that, omit this, etc. " I decided it looked good on its own and I made it as written. This cake was wonderful as written. The only thing I left out was the nuts, otherwise, no changes. The cake is moist and delicious. Probably the best carrot cake we have had. Anywhere. I was a bit skeptical of the baking soda amount and the reviews stating their cake tasted like baking soda?! But there must be some mistake. There was no baking soda taste, just moist, flavorful carrot cake taste! I also had no collapsing of the middle as some described. You don't need pineapple to "balance" the baking soda, that is silly. There are many cakes made without an acid. I made this cake specifically because it had no pineapple in it. Why add it? It doesn't need it. I could go on after reading pages of reviews that changed this unnecessarily. Don't change a thing! Now for the frosting - wonderful. I would start with 3 1/2 cups of powdered sugar and taste it. If you want it sweeter add the last 1/2 cup. This will be my go to cream cheese frosting from now on.
