If a dish is especially easy, and I'm on the fence, I will give it 5* for ease even if it's very good instead of great.

It has excellent, detailed directions and is perfect as is. I, of course, will adhere to the above when rating recipes, too! Thanks and have a great day! My Rating System: ***** A delicious recipe that was thoroughly enjoyed. I'd also really appreciate it if you refrain from rating a recipe if you overcook or overbake it or it you don't refrigerate or store as listed. The recipes will not work/taste as intended, so it's really not fair to rate them as such. Too many recipe reviews state margarine subbed for butter (if I list butter, it's REAL butter), different spices, low-fat ingredients, whole wheat flour instead of white, etc. Also, if you make changes or substitutions, I'd love to see your suggestions and/or comments, but I'd appreciate no rating at all if it's not made as posted. I have 4 kids, who are the loves of my life and cooking for them and my husband keeps me on my toes! ) We bought an ice cream parlor in March 04 and it's been quite an experience! Note: I love getting feedback on my recipes all I ask is that you actually *make* them before reviewing them. I am also a fan of all things Amish, so I have quite a collection of things picked up in Reading, Lancaster and surrounding areas here in Pennsylvania. I collect cookbooks and cookie stamps/cutters and have a pretty big collection of both.

I live in Pa (outside of Philadelphia) and cooking, baking, cross-stitching and reading are my hobbies.
