My Activity

Reviewed Lemon Bars

"Sorry, Ina, these are a miss. They're tasty, but very, VERY tart and very, VERY sweet. Also, they don't set up firmly like other lemon bar recipes do, they stay creamy instead - somewhere closer to the lemon custard in a lemon meringue pie than the firm texture I was looking for. Definitely require a fork and a plate, not a finger-food. I also"

Reviewed Peanut Butterballs

"These were very tasty! I added a bit of cream & butter to the melted chocolate for more of a ganache-like coating.

The quantities are WAY off on this, though - it says it makes 50 individual balls. I started small and got progressively larger because of how much peanut butter filling I had. At the end of the day, I wound up with well over 100, and, had I kept them bite-sized the way I wanted them, it would have been closer to 150. I also needed 3x the chocolate to cover so many balls!

Reviewed Grown Up Mac and Cheese

"Thank you, Ina, for making the Mac & Cheese I've always wanted. I used the cavatappi, and it really was the way to go.

I made a few modifications: I like my Mac & Cheese creamy so I upped the milk to 2 cups -actually, I used cream instead for added richness - and I used a Panko and Pecorino Romano mix - about 50/50 - for the topping instead of white bread. Also, I cooked it for closer to an hour at 350, and it was perfect.

I took the leftovers and rolled them in panko and pan fried them in bacon grease the next day - delicious!

Reviewed Lemon Meringue Pie

"I would have given this 5-stars, if it weren't for the obvious error in the instructions. I've made this pie twice, once following the instructions (against my better judgment), and once cooking a custard the way I know it needs to be cooked. I'll give you three guesses as to how each turned out. :)

PLEASE READ: To anyone who hasn't made this pie yet - you MUST cook the custard longer than 1 minute after tempering the eggs and adding them back in. My only guess is that someone made a typo when converting this recipe for web-availability. The "1 minute" should have been more like "10-15 minutes".

Once you adjust that piece of the recipe, you will come out with a very lemony, not too tart, not too sweet, divine, light, gorgeous Lemon Meringue Pie. It is completely worth every minute of standing there whisking. Thank you Alton!!
