I was not impressed with these pancakes, but my kids loved them. These are rather bland and soggy. I shredded the apples and added a couple T brown sugar. I had to cook them over low heat to cook the insides without burning the outsides. I might make these again if the kids request it, but would only make a half batch.

Iced Pumpkin Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2009

Smashing! Pure delight! Mine turned out slightly hard on the outside and soft and cakey on the inside. The icing is fantastic.

Caramelized Apple Rings

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2009

I made caramelized apple dices for a dessert apple pizza. I took a lot of liberties with this recipe: I used 4 apples (peeled & diced), a little less butter and a bit more sugar, and a lot of cinnamon. This made a nice cinnimon "sauce" at the bottom of the pan - I thickened it by adding a little bit of quick oats. The apple pizza was quite delicious! Thank you for the inspiration, Helen!

Chocolate Pudding Cake II

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009

I made this on the spur of the moment to satisfy a chocolate craving. It is so easy and fast to make with pantry staples. The result is a rich, gooey, chocolatey dessert. My family went crazy for this.

Sneaky Vegetable Lasagna

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2009

David loved this - it looked and tasted meaty, but he had disect to lasagna to discover it ws actually broccoli (and lots of it!). I used Victoria marinara sauce from Costco, and it was very oily - I created this recipe while trying to make the sauce less oily. Worked out great. Will make again! Stef liked it, Evelyn wouldn't try.

Boiled Peanuts

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2009

Yummy and fun to eat. I hadn't had this treat since I lived in SC. I boiled mine for 2 hours. I had a hard time tracking down raw peanuts, but finally found them in an Indian market.

Mom's Snowy Day Chili

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2009

One of my favorite chili recipies, and so easy too. David loves it. I think the girls like it too (last made it a half year ago). Too much gives me acid stomach though. Serve with rice and toppings.

Andalusian Gazpacho

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2009

Make sure everyone has some so you are not a lone reeker. I did not have sherry vinegar, so used red wine vinigar, lemon juice would probably be fine as well. Didn't have fresh basil, used dried instead. Fresh cilantro might be good too. I ground the cumin in blender, but put the garlic in with the tomatoes (didn't make paste as recipe said). I liked this - good to eat before flu season.

Scrumptious Frosted Fudgy Brownies

Reviewed: Aug. 20, 2009

So rich, so fudgy, so delicious! The brownies were perfect without the frosting, so I didn't bother with it; I omitted the nuts as well. This will be my go-to brownie recipe when I want to impress. Thanks Celeste!

Anadama Bread

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2009

Makes a huge amount of dough. I ran out of time, had to keep dough in fridge overnight... slightly fermented but still good. Excellent texture. Worth the effort.

Olive Oil Anise Cakes

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2009

Stef helped me make this. Quickly devoured. I used orange extract in place of zest. Only complaint is that it has a "heavy" after taste on the palate - but I used a flavorful oo. Would be delicious w/ icecream

Cocoa Drop Cookies

Next time, try w/out nuts. Very puffy, cakey cookies. Similar to brownies. Pretty good.

Whole Wheat Beer Bread

Reviewed: May 17, 2009

I cannot rave enough about this bread, it is DELICIOUS and a cinch to make! The bread has a lovely sweet flavor. I used Blue Moon's "Honey Moon Summer Ale". My only change to the recipe was to use half the salt. The texture of this bread is terrific, but I think adding a little bit of oatmeal would be a good thing. Thank you!

Oatmeal Cookies "the Best"

Reviewed: May 7, 2009

Cheers to Rosie... this recipe is fantastic! I don't usually like oatmeal raisin cookies, but these are Primo! I used ww pastry flour and replaced a 1/2 cup of oatmeal with a wheat germ/flax meal combo.

Mexican Rice III

Reviewed: May 5, 2009

Good mexican rice. Not exactly what I was looking for, but still good. My daughter likes the rice at our local resturant, but she doesn't like chunks of veggies in it - maybe next time I'll try it with onion and garlic powders and tomato sauce. I used veggie broth and no peppers.

Honey Oatmeal Bread II

Reviewed: May 3, 2009

This bread tastes awesome. I made some modifications based on previous reviews, and I will need to play around with the recipe a little more. I let the oatmeal soak for longer than an hour and added the yeast directly to it (omitted the 1/2 cup of water) and had to add about 1 cup more flour as it was very wet still. I subbed in one cup of ww flour. I didn't have enough honey so had to add some corn syrup. I also replace one T butter with oil. It took an extra long time for the first rise; next time I will add an extra tsp of yeast. My kids loved this bread.

Whole Grain Waffles

Reviewed: May 3, 2009

Yum... these waffles are so delicious you won't believe they are healthy too! I replaced all the oil with applesauce. Next time I won't add salt as they were salty enough from the baking powder. I used soymilk instead of dairy. My kids loved these too!

White Mountain Frosting

Reviewed: May 1, 2009

Love it. Guilt-free. Used the cocoa variation for Stef's chocolate cake. Have used standard version many times and brown sugar variation once. All very good.

Black Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: May 1, 2009

This cake got mixed reviews in our house; followed the recipe exactly. I thought it had a strong baking powder aftertaste. The texture is dense and spongy, my husband thought it was one of my non-fat concoctions. My daughter who usually only eats frosting liked the cake, my other daughter wouldn't eat it. To its credit, this cake is very chocolatey. If I make again, I may try subbing milk or coffee for the water, and might add some chocolate chips too. (I originally gave this 3 stars but added a star - the flavor was better the following day.)

Israeli Couscous Pilaf

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2009

Love the spices. The cayanne gives it a nice kick. I added sundried tomatoes to mine, which offered a delicious contrast. I toasted the couscous while sauteeing celery and onion. Used Braggs instead of salt. Added a little carrot juice too.
