I made this recipe to have as dessert and can't stop eating it! Sooo good. I used my food processor to slice the carrots and then cooked them in the microwave with a little water. I just kept testing them every 3 min or so till they were very tender. Then put them back in the processor with the melted butter and sugar, till the mixture was very smooth. I added 1 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice and used 1/2c brown sugar and almost 1/2c white, which does not make it too sweet for a dessert. Frankly I didn't think it was too sweet even for a side dish. I also baked it for 1 hour.

Best Cream Of Broccoli Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2009

I love how this broccoli soup doesn't use cheese! I did not add any celery, and took the advice of others and simply mashed it so it stayed chunky. Delicious!!

Apple Crisp II

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2009

This is so good! I had 7 golden delicious apples to use up so that's the amount I put in a 7x11 pan. I used brown sugar in the syrup instead of white, and added cinnamon. After mixing the apples with the syrup, I put them right in the greased pan and put all of the crisp portion on top. I used a full cup of oatmeal. Perfect amount of crunch.

My Favorite Sesame Noodles

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2009

Tasty recipe. Very similar to a Rachel Ray recipe which adds thinly sliced fresh spinach and sliced rotisserie chicken. Makes it even better!

Best Brownies

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2009

These are so yummy. I doubled the recipe for a 13x9 pan, but only used 3 eggs and added almost a whole cup of the cocoa powder. Cooked them for 30 min. and did not frost them. Fudgy and delicious!

Oregon Salmon Patties

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2009

These were really good. I sauteed garlic and finely chopped bell pepper along with the onion. I did not have parsley, but I added a little dry dill, sea salt, (salmon I bought was unsalted) and I used aioli garlic mustard sauce (from TJ's) as I did not have dry mustard either; did not add any of the reserved liquid because they were plenty moist. Cooked them in olive oil instead of shortening...whole family loved em!

Applesauce Bars

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2008

Very yummy and super easy. My 13 year old son put the batter together in about 5 min. Baked this in an 8x8 pan for 30 min and it was perfect. Used 3/4 whole wheat pastry flour and 1/4 white. While it baked, I beat together butter, cream cheese, pwd. sugar, and vanilla to taste, and spread it on as soon as the bars came out of the oven to make more of a glaze. Delicious!

Sweet Potato Bread I

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2008

This is the second time I've made this bread. 5 * for the taste, but I did change it a little. Used 1/2 white flour and 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour, 1/2 oil and 1/2 applesauce, 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown, and doubled the spices. Even better than the first loaf. Love this bread. I think it's better than the pumpkin bread I usually make.

Classy Green Bean Casserole

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2008

I've only made this recipe when I'm cooking for alot of people. I've found that you can use 5-6 cans of the green beans and keep all of the other ingredients the same; it tastes great and makes it less runny.

Chicken Marsala

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2008

The whole family loves this recipe. After I've used the flour mixture on the chicken, I add the mushrooms to the little bit that's left in the dish, stir to coat them, and then scrape it all into the pan when it's time to add it. I think it makes the "gravy" a little thicker. Also I only use 3TBS of the butter/olive oil.

Classic Tossed Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2008

I have made this salad about 15 times now and everyone always LOVES it. I do not use any sesame seeds and only about 1/2 the olives. If you use bagged lettuce it is super quick to prepare. Kraft makes a dressing called "Zesty Italian" that tastes perfect with it. Not sure why the recipe states an 8oz bottle of dressing. Just dress it to taste; that ends up being nowhere near 8oz.

Iced Pumpkin Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2008

These cookies are the consistancy of muffins or quick bread, but boy are they good! I did not make the icing for them, and I can't imagine they would taste better with it.

Mayonnaise Biscuits

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2008

These are very good. Very light and fluffy. If the batter is runny or they don't rise, the batter has been mixed too much! I used a rubber spatula and gently folded ingredients till just combined.

Sweet Potato Butternut Squash Pie

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2008

I added the whole can of condensed milk but still felt it should be sweeter. I didn't have any marshmallows; I suppose this would have helped with the sweetness!

Creamy Blueberry Pie

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2008

I served this at a family gathering and everyone loved it. I used frozen wild blueberries (these are the small ones), which I thawed. I love how it stays together instead of spreading across the plate like so many other blueberry pies!

Salsa I

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2008

This recipe was perfect because I didn't have any limes or peppers. I used fresh tomatoes, garlic, and cilantro from my CSA and thought it was delicious.

Vegetable Chowder

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2008

I love this chowder. The first time I made it I followed the exact recipe, but now instead of cutting up vegetables I use different Trader Joe organic frozen veggies-whatever combo I have-even asparagus. I only use 2 cups of cheese.
