Roxie's Bran Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2009
Excellent muffins! Took the advice of one reader and used a little baking powder (1/2 tsp.)--not sure if that was it, but these muffins definitely came out lighter and fluffier (but not yet cupcake-like) than all the other healthy muffins I've been trying. Also used whole wheat pastry flour, instead of just regular w.w. flour. Perfect amount of sweetness and good fruits! Definitely will be making these often!

Soft Giant Pretzels

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2009
Downright awesome! Made them for the first time today, using the corn syrup instead of sugar like recommeded by others. They came out soft and chewy on the inside with a nice light crust on the outside. I didn't have any coarse salt so I just used kosher instead, still tasted great. Smelled amazing, too. My children loved them! Will definitely be using this recipe again!

Chocolate Crinkles II

Reviewed: Jun. 19, 2009
Chewy, moist, like another reviewer said, tastes like a brownie, but in cookie form. Will definitely be making these again! So easy! And my 3 y/o loved helping roll them in the sugar!

Whipped Cream Frosting

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2009
VERY GOOD! I made this frosting to go with a lemon cake that I'd made, so I added the zest and juice from a small lemon, and the flavor/texture of the frosting was so light and citrusy. Amazing! I also didn't have the recipe in front of me, just committed it to memory--I kind of "messed it up" by whipping the cream cheese mixture first, then just directly pouring in the heavy cream as I whipped it and it turned out just fine. Will definitely be using this recipe from here on out (and this was my first cake and frosting from scratch)!

Original Homemade Italian Beef

Reviewed: Jan. 24, 2009
I took the advice of some of the other reviewers and used only 2 .7oz packets of Italian dressing mix. I also used a slightly larger roast (3.5 lbs) and used more than the recommended amount of water by 2-3x. Unfortunately, it was still incredibly salty--maybe it was the brand I used? That's not to say it wasn't extremely tasty, though! Will definitely be making this again, but with further adjustments. Will probably use just one (or one and a half) packet of Italian mix and more water to give ourselves more juice to dip in. Also, I used only half a jar of pepperoncinis, because I wasn't sure how spicy it'd be and I have a toddler to feed. She isn't a beef eater, and this she actually ate most of! Turns out the brand I used wasn't too spicy, so I'll probably use the whole jar next time since having more peppers in there might've been nice. Even if this is or isn't close to authentic italian beef (I wouldn't know) it's still good!

Butterscotch Gingerbread Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008
I'm not into exceptionally sweet cookies, so I used only 3/4 of the bag of butterscotch chips - will probably only use 1/2 next time. Otherwise, great cookie! Has a good flavor!

Crispy Baked Basa

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2008
Not bad. Normally don't eat basa, but this method was pretty good. Used panko breadcrumbs instead and it came out nice and crisp. Didn't use capers in the mayo/ketchup sauce, but that didn't effect the taste.
