Blue Ribbon Chocolate Cake

I've already had requests to make another one...it's THAT good :-)” - pcskinner “I went out and bought all the ingredients for this Blue Ribbon Chocolate Cake and let me say, it is the best chocolate cake we have ever eaten. The cake is so moist, rich in chocolate and that is without frosting. This is a keeper and I plan on baking this cake for our next family get together. Thank you so very much for sharing a great recipe.” - oftenoverlooked

Bacon Jammin' Chicken Extravaganza Sammich

“This sandwich has such a great sweet and savory taste. The bacon jam has just the right bite to it. The jam would be a great addition to any sandwich. Very yummy!” - The Kitchen Crew

Dark Chocolate Cake with Gingerbread Frosting

“So, in celebration of all things gingerbread, I thought I would share a crazy-good chocolate cake with gingerbread frosting. Yes, gingerbread frosting! Mercy me, it turned out even better than I was hoping! It is made better by the addition of Folgers. Adding brewed coffee to chocolate cake takes it to a whole new level. This cake tastes like my childhood!” - Brandie

Coffee Kahlua Cupcakes

“These cupcakes were some of the best cupcakes, if not the best, cupcakes I've ever eaten. They take a little bit of time to put together but are well worth it.” - Danthefireman “These were fantastic! I made them the second time with a toffee liqueur instead of Kahlua and they were still amazing. Thanks for sharing your recipe.” - Irishmomjse

Creamy Bacon Pasta With Coffee Spice Rubbed Scallops

“I tried your recipe last night and everyone loved it! Will be making it again but with shrimp tonight, thanks for sharing :)” - AnnRuth “Amazing! This is one of our new favorites. I used the pancetta and increased the cream because we love the pasta wet. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing this.” - adevlin

Mother’s Roast Beef Recipe

“I tried this recipe and boy was it good. A keeper!” - Zelda51 “This recipe produced a very good roast. I assumed the vinegar (I used both white and apple cider) acted as a tenderizer, because the meat (I used a 4lb good quality chuck roast) was easy to cut and shred. I slow roasted on the stovetop for about 3 hours. I sort of hoped the beef would take on more of the coffee flavor (I used 2 cups espresso), but I found that the resulting taste was a simple, yet still delicious, beef flavor. The gravy was also quite good. Overall, this is an easy and delicious recipe. I used the leftovers to make pulled beef sandwiches with spicy, homemade BBQ sauce. Thank you for sharing!” - tsteeltown

Cinfully Good Chili

“This chili was such a hit I made it 3 times this month. This is DEFINITELY a keeper and I will be making this chili for many, many years to come.” - JanetG1978 “I love a good chili and always on the lookout for more recipes to add to my repertoire. This is some good chili. I used my own recipe which is similar to yours but stole your coffee idea and it was a hit with my ‘chili crowd!’” - travlindiva

Coffee Meringue Cream Pie

“This pie tastes like a creamy cup of coffee, kinda a buttery carmel flavor. Good Pie!” - mawmawnan

Chocolate - Kahlua Cake with White Russian Frosting

“Last night we wanted something chocolaty, moist and with a touch of Kahlua. My new creation fit the bill. Everyone loved it. The frosting is awesome.” - 1lovetocook1x

Tiramisu

“OMG, this is soooooo wonderful! I found it really easy to make. Since we have no children at home, I substituted 2 Tbsp. Kahlua for the rum extract in the filling, and also added 2 Tbsp. Kahlua to the coffee. My husband, who loves Tiramisu, thought this was even better than the Tiramisu he has had in restaurants. I will be making another one next weekend when we have friends over for dinner. I'm sure they will think this is the most blissful dessert they've ever had at someone's house!” - dardulewski

Tasty Crock Pot Eye Roast

“I made this recipe yesterday. I don't often comment or sing praises about a recipe, but this one deserves a double blue ribbon! And for those of you that is still debating the use of coffee, you DON'T taste it at all. It is the best meat I've had in a long time.” - Rynetta
