Quite good! I really shouldn't rate this recipe because I used spaghetti noodles instead of soba... but I guess everyone should know that it still made a tasty, though inauthentic, dish!

Finally, a chili recipe that doesn't call for outrageous ingredients! Like other reviewers, I think it's a great starting point. It's easily adjusted to your tastes and what you have on hand. A+

This will become my standard banana cake recipe! I delayed adding the sour cream until the end, with the bananas - then I folded in both, gently. The texture of the cake was almost CREAMY when it came out of the oven!

Just too, too easy! This has become my standard pizza crust recipe.

This tastes just like my mother's marinade, but with a fraction of the oil!I switched out the margerine for olive oil, and it was great.

Oh, wow! I have been trying at least one pizza recipe a week for some time now and this is absolutely my favorite recipe so far! The real star of the show is the sesame oil. I used only 1 T. of olive oil whisked with 1 t. sesame oil rather than the full amount - and it was great!

Absolutely delicious!

Good for everyday eatin'. Don't try altering it to get a better muffin batter consistency - you'll ruin it! Just great as is. Very moist.

Pretty good starting point. Needs fiddling to taste.

I used 3 T. of lime juice instead of mace for a little bit of tangyness... WOW! I also increased the vanilla to 2 t. and added 1/2 t. of almond extract. Finally, I poured a light citrus glaze over the top. Perfect, perfect! Simple Citrus Glaze: 1 T. soft butter, 1 c. powdered sugar, 1 T. + 1 1/2 t. lime, lemon, or orange juice. Drizzle over hot cake and serve immediately! ***UPDATE: I stirred in 3 large sliced fresh peaches for a beautiful peach pound cake. It was incredibly moist and peachy!

Wow! These cookies are amazing! Just the right shot of orange. Really set off the taste of Bittersweet chocolate chips.

Wow, our little roast came out incredibly tender! The spice mixture is very tasty. Maybe next time I'll back off on the salt.

Passable, but bland to my tastes. I followed the recipe exactly.

WOW! What a delicious, simple, savory recipe! Really filled my cravings. I used lime juice instead of lemon, and of course it turned out fine.

What a great recipe! My husband and I truly enjoyed it. We added a LOT more garlic and crushed red pepper for lots of heat. Works well with diced cooked chicken, too!

Absolutely decadent. I, too, reduced the confectioner's sugar and chocolate chips to 2 c. each with great success. I've had it with vanilla, orange, raspberry, and lemon flavorings and each one turned out great.

Stunning! I followed reviewer suggestions and mixed the apples with the caramel before putting them into the crust and it worked very well.

I love this recipe! Pretty easy, and very impressive for guests.

Very creamy and smooth. Delightful.

Wow! I followed the changes that SOUTHERNBELLE0908 left in her review - and it turned out so creamy and delicious! I took this to a church gathering and it was the first thing gone. I was lucky to get even one slice. Some notes for first timers: It tasted just great with a sweet shortbread crust. I always think a graham-cracker crust competes with the pie itself. Also, arrange your oven in advance. In the moment of putting my cheesecake into the oven, I discovered that my springform pan was too wide to fit into my 9x13 water bath! I ended up using my biggest metal mixing bowl, which meant I had to heat a lot more water and rearrange my oven racks.
