April's Infamous Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Reviewed: Aug. 5, 2009
I am now forced to bring this dish to every major function!! People absolutely love it. I am SO not domesticated, but this dish is so easy and delish, it gave me confidence to at least TRY to cook! This recipe is even low carb dieter approved:) I gave it four stars because I feel this recipe needs tweaking. I add ALOT more cheese (I mix asagio, parm, cheddar.. what ever cheese is in the fridge) lots of rosemary and garlic, and I use light mayo (shh.. don't tell!!) I feel it is best made in a crockpot so it stays hot. When cold, it is thick and has a weird texture. Rave reviews always!!

Banana Stuffed French Toast

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2008
wow. this was delish. left out the orange liquor and orange zest. Added a dash of chai spice, splash of almond extract and to the finished product cinnamon honey butter (3tbsp butter, 2 tbsp confectioner's sugar and 1 tbsp honey with a dash of cinnamon) will definitely be making this again.

Currant Jelly Wiener Sauce

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2008
(I am a STRICT vegetarian so I am just going by my co-workers reactions) I made these as directed and had mixed reactions. The general consensus was "they are ok" some people thought they were "pretty good". My feelings were kind of hurt because I usually get rave reviews for everything I make, which in all fairness is usually dessert. I will try to make this again for a different crowd and get back with you guys on the reviews:)

Spinach and Tortellini Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2008
pretty good. I followed the directions pretty closely. I used Ken's steakhouse light italian dressing.. just a splash. As per other reviewers, I used fresh spinach. I used grape tomatoes, which got unappetizingly squishy after a few hours.. Next time they will be a last minute addition. I used a 16oz bag of 3 cheese tortellini cooked for 7 minutes. A handful of reduced fat feta topped it off nicely. will make again!

Oreo™ Cookie Bark

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2008
OMG so good and sooo easy. no one belived that there were only 2 ingredients!! I melted a whole bag of Ghiridelli white chocolate chips in the microwave and broke the Banana Split Oreos(limited edition)into quarters..so easy to just dump the melted chocolate onto the oreos and refrigerate. I blew my diet for the day and ended up eating this for breakfast and lunch. Yummy!! A new, awesome addition to my cookie reportroire!!

Red Velvet Cake I

Reviewed: Jul. 19, 2008
loved by all that came within smelling distance but I had to take the advice of more experienced Allrecipes cooks and make these modifications (hence the 4 star rating) -4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder instead of only 2 -1 cup of oil instead of the shortening -OMITTED THE VINEGAR ALL TOGETHER -used and entire tube of red food gel. Made for a beautiful deep garnet color! -I made cupcakes so I only baked for 22 min @ 350. Absolute perfection with these modifications, and passed the firefighter taste test, so you know they have to be awesome:)

Chocolate Turtle Cheesecake I

Reviewed: Jun. 29, 2008
delish!! sent it to the fire station with my husband to see if it was up to the firemen's high standards (they are quite the critics, and not afraid to tell you if something is mediocre!) it got rave reviews and they told me I can make it for them anytime. Made as directed but i swirled the caramel and chocolate on top of the cookie crust and topped it with chocolate turtle candies. YUMM

Fluffy French Toast

made as directed..topped with strawberry topping and whipped cream; better than any restaurant! Awesome that when I make this at home I can go organic and control the fat content, unlike at restaurants where you are at the mercy of the chef :)

Amazing Ribs

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2008
amazing is right, according to my husband. I made them as directed and my husband loved them.. I am a vegetarian and I don't make him meat dishes very often.. looks like he knows I can cook meat now! Hope he doesn't get too used to it;) He raved about it and was proud that i even touched meat n the first place.
