So easy and so yummy. I had a packet of cream cheese that needed using up, so this was perfect - all the other ingredients were pretty standard and always in the pantry. I made the recipe exactly as stated here - no changes needed at all. I will be making this one again, for sure!

Banana Cream Pie I

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2010

This recipe made a great pie. I used the cornflour option and cheated with a ready-made pie shell. It only needed 3 bananas and I made sure I cooked the filling well. Contrary to some reviews, there was not a drop of `soup` in sight! The filling had a strong vanilla taste, which I liked. Very worthy of five stars!

This was absolutely amazing and very easy to make. I would have eaten the whole thing if my family had let me!

Brooke's Best Bombshell Brownies

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2009

Delicious! Very chocolatey and fudgey. I used half white chocolate and half semi-sweet chips. Really good and very easy - highly recommended.

Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2009

Great recipe - very easy to follow. I only used one cup of pistachios and it was enough. I dipped them in melted white chocolate. They were just like biscotti you would buy in a cafe.

Beth's Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

A very easy and very delicious cookie. It makes a nice-sized batch of moist cookies that we will no doubt be making on a regular basis.

Zucchini-Chocolate Chip Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2009

OMG - these are fabulous! Very easy to make and taste delicious. I made my first batch with my four-year old daughter this morning - followed the recipe as is, but excluded the walnuts. The second batch is in the oven as we speak - experimenting with half wholewheat flour this time. I used a yellow zucchini (because that's what I have growing in the garden) and you can't see or taste the zucchini at all. Will be making these on a regular basis. They beat the zucchini brownies hands down!

Lemon Yogurt Muffins

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2008

These are great muffins that remind me of Lemon Drizzle Cake that is popular in England. I use half wholewheat flour instead of 100% all purpose. Really light and fluffy, with a great lemon flavour. Always gone within a day at our house!

One Bowl Chocolate Cake III

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2008

This recipe makes a nice, moist and dark chocolate cake. Very easy to make and great results. I've used it for two birthday cakes recently, using the fudge icing from the Buttermilk Chocolate Cake on this site. Great combination and no actual chocolate used, just cocoa powder. Enjoy!

Jalapeno Jelly

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2008

We had our first vegetable garden this year and grew a few too many Jalapenos! This recipe is ideal for using up quite a lot of them and it tastes great! It's quite sweet with a really good tangy kick. Very easy to make. I didn't bother with the food colouring or adding the chopped peppers at the end. Everyone who's tried it loves it!

Grandma's Egg Custard Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2008

What a delicious and smooth egg custard pie! It was a little on the sweet side, so it may be too sweet for some people's tastes. I didn't bother with scalding the milk, just added it cold. Very easy to make. Tastes best when served chilled. Yum yum! Is sure to become a favourite in our house.

Zucchini Brownies

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2008

I love this recipe! I did leave out the nuts, but other than that I followed the brownie recipe to the letter. I also left off the frosting and just dusted with icing sugar when cooled. I made a batch and within a day they had been eaten up! My husband and daughter love them. The second time I made them, I used peeled marrow (summer squash) instead of the zucchini and left out the salt. I had to drain the grated marrow a little, but the recipe worked a treat. This recipe will be used again and again.
