Holy Cow Cheesecake ~ Troye Stadler
"16 thumbs up (the four of us each gave it 2 thumbs up a piece, and after we ate it, at some point, our dogs were able to get into it, and although they do not have opposable thumbs, I am sure that they would have each raised all four of them if they could have because they really seemed to enjoy it).  I will absolutely be making this again asap!!!"

Confetti Corn Pudding ~ Autumn Owens
"This was my favorite! The next day my husband had some in his lunch and he called me and told me that it's awesome the next day!" 

Limbo Fruit Sticks ~ Kelli Heavlin
"The Limbo Fruit Sticks were a huge crowd pleaser - I had the kids (ages 8 to 3) and adults make their own.  It was a fun activity and they were super yummy."

Cream Cheese Frosting ~ Erica Hawker
 "Loved the cream cheese frosting--so yummy and not too sweet!"

Secret Recipe Cole Slaw ~ Troye Sadler
"8 thumbs up.  We seriously might have given this more if we had more thumbs. It was our fave! we will make it again and again!"

North Carolina Style BBQ Chicken ~ Carol McCreadie (Dr. Sue's Mother-In-Law!)
"Sauce was tasty and not over powering."

Mexican Chocolate Cake with Rasperry Sauce ~ Angelle Batten
"We've made it twice in one week! This is a new favorite grain-free recipe in our house. Love the rasperry sauce with mint.  Amazing."

Luau Party Theme ~ Kelli Heavlin
"The Luau party was a success! It was great because my dad's birthday was Friday and my mom's is tomorrow. I had my brother's family of 6 over to celebrate, so I really got to test out the recipes with a real party crowd!  The theme was fun and the party ideas were great!"
