Ice Cream Base

Reviewed: Jul. 4, 2011

This is amazing and SO delicious. I substituted 1 cup 1 percent milk for 1 cup of the half-and-half and it still was creamy and very rich. I flavored it with 1/2 cup cocoa powder. I may reduce the cocoa powder next time, but other than that, it was perfect! Thanks for the great recipe!

Garbanzo Bean Chocolate Cake (Gluten Free!)

Reviewed: Apr. 24, 2011

This is a "brownie" like cake. Very good. Have yet to have a anyone guess that it has beans in it! I use a 15 oz. can and it turned out just fine. It's fast and simple to make!

Beth's Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009

Perfect texture! My only change was in the spices. I used a pre-made cinnamon blend sold by the Pampered Chef. A really great recipe.

Mendi's Favorite Orzo

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2009

I turned this into a main dish by doubling the recipe and adding chicken breast sauteed in fresh garlic and olive oil. Omitted butter and sauteed mushrooms with the chicken. I also added a little more garlic when I added the pasta and vegetables. I use a whole wheat orzo. We really enjoyed this recipe and I will definitely make it again.

Greek Orzo Salad

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2009

Very good recipe. Next time I will be sure to use marinated artichokes as I think that was the only problem with my version. I really liked this salad. My husband, who is NOT a picky eater didn't really care for it though.

Cinnamon, Spice and Everything Nice Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2009

I had a little trouble with the first two batches that went into the oven, but by the third batch they were turning out good. I think I made too many substitutions which caused a runny cookie to start with. Mine were still very flat and the appearance wasn't great but the flavor was AWESOME! My husband really liked them. Next time I will try to follow the recipe closer because this was a really great flavored cookie. :>)

Sausage Gravy I

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2009

I was surprised how easy this was to make. My husband was impressed, which is all I ask for! He said it could use a little more pepper next time. I did not add the extra grease and we have extra lean sausage and it was still great.

Tex-Mex Turkey Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2009

LOVED IT! I followed the recipe pretty exactly except I didn't add cheese or sour cream at the end. We just added a tbsp before serving. I did increase the chili powder and cumin because we like it a little spicier. I think it makes more like 8 servings. With just me and my hubby eating we had it for 3 meals each with seconds for both of us! It was very tasty. I have some more turkey in the freezer that I will be using again for this recipe!

Chili Jack Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2009

This was okay. I added an extra can of green chilies because we really like them and the flavor was still pretty mild. I will probably make it again but make a few changes. It's a good base recipe to start with and very easy to put together.

Whole Wheat Honey Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2008

5 stars for flavor! 4 stars for texture. It turned out a little dry, but I always seem to have problems making bread. I will definitely use this recipe again because the flavor is great.

Mexican Rice II

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2008

This was a great recipe. I added a little chili powder and red pepper which gave it a really nice taste. I will definitely make this recipe again. Next time I think I will try adding some freshly minced garlic. Overall this is the best Mexican rice recipe I've tried.

Jay's Signature Pizza Crust

Mmmmmm!!! This is the best pizza dough recipe I've found. I substituted 1/2 of the flour for whole wheat and it was wonderful. The whole family loved it.

Playgroup Granola Bars

Reviewed: May 5, 2008

This is a good basic recipe though a little too sweet for our tastes. I used whole wheat flour and melted Smart Balance (margarine) in place of the oil. Instead of the germ I used up some left over cereal crumbs like raisin bran and shredded wheat and cranberries instead of raisins. I will make the same next time except decrease sugar to about 1/4 cup and use a portion of real maple syrup in place of 1/2 of the honey.

Whole Wheat Maple Quick Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2008

This was a very good, quick and simple recipe. I omitted the lemon and added about 2 tbsp. extra maple syrup. I also used vanilla flavored yogurt and used cinnamon plus pumpkin pie seasoning for extra taste. It was finished cooking about 5 minutes early so be sure to check it before the 50 minutes. I put a few dollops of butter on top after it came out of the oven and sprinkled with raw sugar. My company loved it and I will definitely make it again.

Gobble Up Granola Snacks

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2007

I love this recipe because it is so easy to make and my family loves to eat it. I've made it several times. I substitute honey for the corn syrup and use lightly crushed Special K in place of the rice crispy cereal.
