Hi Kirk, just one question: have you ever actually tried any of these recipes? And in those cases when you have how about giving us your personal critique? :)

Hi! Believe it or not, I have actually tried a lot of the recipes. But since I am not much of a dessert person, I have to admit I haven't tried many of the pies and/or cakes. I have tried a lot of the entree recipes, though. I pretty much haven't been too disappointed as of yet, since I know what ingredients I do/don't like.
I would love to give a personal critique on the ones I have tried, but to be honest, I just don't have the time right now. What with maintaing my main blog (My So-Called Strife) with (hopefully) original blog entries 5 days a week and working from home for clients, AND scanning/typing up/maintaining this new blog, it'd be more work than I could handle. However a friend of mine is threatening to make some of the recipes and report back to me, so she might be persuaded to grace us with her commentary in the future. Of course, ANYONE is welcome to do that if they'd like to, I actually think that could be a lot of fun! Maybe even submitting a picture of their creation. Who knows?
So, for now. I'm gonna have to politely decline. I wish I could, but I'm gonna be lucky to keep up with blogging for two blogs and keeping up with my responses to comments! ;) I hope you understand.

P.s. I have made the Bisquick Taco Pie and it is dynamite!! I also have a super simple recipe for sausage balls that I'll post at a later date, that also uses Bisquick. They are AWESOME! :^d
Sure I understand. If I ever ytry one of these I'll tell you how it went. Looking forward to more recipes with more kitchy photos! :)
I'll vouch for the Taco Pie. I love the classic cookbooks too. My collection consists of a whopping 4. BTW. I found something for you at a garage sale!

Exactly! You hit the nail on the head! The magazine (circa 1984) I got this from also had the recipe for the Cheeseburger Pie and a Cheesecake. Both of which were "Impossible," since they also made their own crusts! I'd wager they're ALL good. I know the Taco Pie is!

Three cheers for the Taco Pie! Sometimes I even made a side of Spanish Rice to go with it. Go carbs!
Woot! I'm already excited! I love receiving mail that isn't a bill! Thanks in advance! I'm sure I'll love it, whatever it is! :D
Ummm Taco Pie... Thanks for the recipe..

You betcha! Thanks for taking the time to comment! I appreciate it! :)
HAH -- I had the Taco Pie a few years ago when a college friend made it! It was really good, as I remember. :o)
