Apple Goat Cheese Bruschetta

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2009

Delicious! Drizzling some honey over the bruschetta before you serve it takes this to a whole new level.

Yum! this was good. my only complaint is that I wished that I had more sauce. I used half an ortega bottle under the pasta and half on top. Next time I'll buy 2 bottles i think. Really serves 3 people.

Apple Crisp III

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2009

I'd give this a 5 for simplicity and taste but I had to make a few minor changes, so it's a 4. I used 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar and I added 1/2 tsp. of vanilla to the sugar & butter mixture. The only thing I'd chnage for next time is I'd use l/2 cup water instead of 1/2 cup. The apples turned out a little too mushy.

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2009

these are good but not best. I slightly overcooked some of them and those ended up tasting pretty dry and cakey. the rest I cooked for the correct amount of time and they were better. I think I'd like them a bit more moist, though.

Chantal's New York Cheesecake

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2009

so so so so good! and pretty easy to make. next time I'll use a cup of sour cream instead of 3/4 cup (just for personal taste). And my crust came out a tad soft... not sure if that's because water seeped in from the water bath or because of the filling. I may bake the crust for a little while in the over prior to adding the filling next time.

Easy Pizza Sauce III

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2009

this was perfect! super easy to make and turned out delicious. I followed others' suggestions and added 1/2 a tsp. of dried basil, 1/2 a tsp. of onion powder and 1/4 tsp. sugar. This did make a LOT of sauce. Way more than we needed for a 12 inch pizza. Next time I will use a smaller can of tomato sauce and cut the recipe in half.

Pork Chops with Fresh Tomato, Onion, Garlic, and Feta

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2009

I thought this was delicious and so easy to make! I overcooked the pork, though, so next time I will either use chicken or be a little more careful. The sauce was awesome! Especially with the feta. I had fresh basil and some farmer's market tomatoes, so I used those. Served with a fresh salad and an orzo pasta salad.

Greek Honey Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2009

Very yummy! perfect for the occasion (greek dinner party). I took the suggestion to double the orange zest and halve the honey sauce. It was great and everyone loved it.

Zucchini Herb Casserole

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2009

I thought this was really delicious and easy to make! Followed other people's suggestions and increased the amount of rice to 1/2 cup and cooked it with a little boullion. Added half a red pepper and used grape tomatoes. I also tripled the minced garlic and doubled the oregano, basil and paprika. Lastly, I mixed one cup of cheese into the casserole and then sprinkled a couple handfuls on top. Really yummy!

Firecracker Grilled Alaska Salmon

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2009

Great recipe! A lot of different flavors, some heat, a little tangy, a little sweet. I might try cutting the sauce with some water next time because it was a little thick. Maybe slightly less balsamic ving.

Balsamic-Glazed Salmon Fillets

Reviewed: May 10, 2009

I have to say I didn't like this very much. The "Grilled Salmon I" recipe is much tastier. I'll stick with that one.

Extreme Banana Nut Bread 'EBNB'

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2009

Delicious! I followed the recipe exactly but mixed all the ingredients well. It came out great. Next time I'll try adding some vanilla extract for a tad extra flavor and moisture.

Sicilian Lemon Chicken with Raisin-Tomato Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2009

This was SO YUMMY and healthy and easy to make. I took others' advice and did not drain the tomatoes. I'm glad I didn't, the dish could have used a tad more juice. Next time I might try to add a touch of white wine. I also left out the olives and seasoned the chicken with seasoning salt and pepper. I will definitely make this again soon! Would be a great meal to serve when guests are over for dinner.

Bacon Wrapped Dates Stuffed with Blue Cheese

Reviewed: Mar. 21, 2009

Delicious! I think 1/2 a slice of bacon for each date is too much, though. Next time I'll only use enough bacon to circle the date once. I tried with blue cheese in the inside and with almonds on the inside. I liked the blue cheese better but both were good.

Fig and Olive Tapenade

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2009

This was fantastic! I used extra olives... probably about 3/4 cup and served with water crackers. Everyone raved about it. I will definitely make it again.

Dip For The Stars

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2009

I used gin and served with watercrackers. Everyone loved it! I only made half the recipe and it was plenty. I may try it sans butter and with more cream cheese next time... just because it seems healthier that way!

Chicken Tortilla Soup I

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2009

This was delicious! I took it to a dinner party and got a ton of compliments. Everyone asked for the recipe. I made the following changes according to other user suggestions... 4 cloves of minced garlic instead of 3... cumin instead of oregano... 2 cans of chicken broth plus one chicken boullion cube instead of condensed broth & water... a full can of corn and no hominy. I also added some black pepper, cayenne pepper & a tsp. of brown sugar. Definitely include all the toppings, they really make it spectacular!

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies II

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2008

Delicious! I used 2 tsp. vanilla, 3/4 tsp. baking soda and no salt. Adding more vanilla offsets some of the peanut flavor. Definitely need a mini muffin baking pan for this one. With a regular sized muffin baking pan, the cookies are too big for the miniature peanut butter cups. Of course, you could always buy the regular size peanut butter cups instead!
