Fresh Fig Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2011

Delicious! Only change is I added 1 1/2 cups figs to batter. Has the consistency of sticky toffee pudding which I love

Asian Lettuce Wraps

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2011

Delicious! Used turkey instead of beef to make healthier. Didn't have rice wine vinegar; used cider vinegar. Also added 1/2 c of diced red pepper. Will definitely make again!

I should have looked more carefully at the other reviews...I did what the instructions said, and divided the dough into 12 wedges. They got massive and I had to keep on adding time onto the recipe. After I finally cut them all in half, they still took 35min to cook through.

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2010

Absolutely delicious! I've been so afraid to make risotto, but it ended up being really easy! Didn't make any changes to the recipe. Highly recommended.

Chocolate Zucchini Bread I

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2009

Used 1.5c sugar, added 3 tsp cocoa powder. Half white, half whole wheat flour. Only 2/3 c chocolate chips because that is all I had. Made 18 big cupcakes, 25min in the oven. Could be a bit more chocolatey - doesn't look or taste as dark and rich as I'd like, but tasty and moist.

Tofu Parmigiana

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2009

Took the advice of TORONTOIS and the recipe turned out perfectly! My boyfriend couldn't even tell what it was (believe me, that is a good thing!) Next time I will probably double the recipe.

Bread and Celery Stuffing

Reviewed: Mar. 26, 2009

Made half the recipe, used toasted whole grain bread. Will make again. May reduce the butter a little bit next time to make more healthy

Old Fashioned Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2009

Used a 12inch skillet, since that's all I had. Added 1/2c pineapple juice and 1/3c shredded coconut. Wow, it was not what we were hoping for. Took an hour to set up, tasted raw in the middle and hard like a hockey puck on the outside. Also, the pineapple floated up to the top. Probably my biggest baking disaster

Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2009

Amazing! Perfect amount of sweetness for me, though I like things sweeter than most, so might cut down the sugar to 1/2c next time for the others who will be eating it. I didn't have buttermilk, so I used another reviewer's suggestion of replacing 2 tbsp of milk with lemon juice. Baked in pre-heated 12inch cast iron skillet for 25min. Will definitely make again.

KELLOGG'S* RICE KRISPIES* Squares Original Recipe

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2009

Really hard to mess up this simple and delicious recipe. I like my squares a bit more marshmallow-y, so I usually add extra (total of ~6 cups)

Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2009

First time making pork tenderloin. Found it came out very tender and moist, yum. Didn't think the marinade made it that flavourful, but used it to make the gravy which when added on top really made it lovely.

Scallops Mascarpone

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2008

I was pleasantly surprised by how good this was. I used 4oz of mascarpone, because that was all I had. No salt or onion powder. Put in shrimp, turkey bacon and asparagus. I liked the flavour that the turkey bacon added. I would make this again.

This dressing is fabulous!! I used approx. 2 tbsp less oil, and 2tbsp more lime juice, as I love the lime taste. Used on spinach salad with goat cheese, tomatoes and walnuts. Yum yum!

Tangy Four-Bean Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2008

This salad is fantastic, and really healthy for you. I omitted the mushrooms from the recipe. Next time I would probably use a bit more vinegar for more tanginess.

White Chocolate, Chocolate Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2008

Yum yum yum....I substituted one tsp of baking soda with corn starch, and added some vanilla. Used white chocolate chunks instead of chips. Smooshed the balls down a bit before putting in the oven...these cookies taste delish! A bit crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside.

Cola Pot Roast II

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2008

I used a 5lb roast, browning the meat first, then throwing everything in the slow cooker on low for 10hrs. The meat was just falling apart when we ate it- it was good, but could have been better-I would probably cook the veg separately as the carrots and celery did seem a lot saltier than the actual meat, making the meat seem a tad bland. Might put a rub on the meat next time. Used a full can of coke. Will definitely try this again.

Spanakopita (Greek Spinach Pie)

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2007

I enjoyed this recipe- I used two packages of frozen spinach, well thawed and squeezed instead of the fresh stuff. I also used 8 sheets of phyllo on the bottom, and 3 on top, because there was so much overlap from the bottom. I may try it in a bigger pan next time. I would perhaps use a bit more feta and add some ground pepper as well. Like another reviewer, I made it and froze it, baking and eating it another day. Baking it for 1hr was perfect.

Caramel Bars

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2007

These bars are to die for! I doubled the oatmeal mixture, and used 1c of butter. I only had pecans on hand, so I used these instead of the walnuts. Baked in a 9x9 pan. The bottom took 13min and the top took 18min. Using a pizza cutter to slice the bars was a great suggestion!! Will definitely make these again. I might possibly use more caramel squares (perhaps 45?), but they came out great as is.

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2007

Loved that hint of sweetness to it. Next time I'll saute the onions beforehand- didn't like the crunchy onions. May also substitute half the onion for some bell pepper, and add some worchester sauce.
