Sweet Dinner Rolls
Monkey Bread I
About this Cook
My cooking tragedies
Teriyaki chicken. I still haven't figured out how to cook it properly, and the two times I've tried to make it so far have turned out inedible. I will figure it out one of these days though!!

Strawberry Bread
This was delicious! I made the whole recipe, and brought the extra loaf to work... everyone can't stop eating it! I almost regret bringing it in! lol. I did make a few changes, some not entirely on purpose. I doubled the strawberries based on others reviews, and mixed 1 cup of sugar into half and mushed it up with a fork. The rest I set to the side to fold in at the end. I used 1 cup of sweetened applesauce instead of oil (ran out of oil), and left out any more sugar. I used 1 tsp of cinnamon rather than what was called for, and added 1 tsp of vanilla for flavor. The end result was great! It turned out with a banana bread type texture. I didn't end up with any problems about it not cooking, though I did add an extra 10 minutes to be sure. I recommend this recipe and will definitely make it again!

Easy Mexican Hot Chocolate
This was quite tasty, something nice and different to try. I had mixed all my other ingredients together when I went to the fridge for milk, and realized that I didn't have any! So I used some left over evaporated milk I had in the fridge instead! I'm not sure how much this changed it, but it sure tasted fine! I did do as others suggested and used 1/2 milk to 1/2 water. The only complaint I had was that it was so rich, I couldn't drink it all on my own!

Spinach Tomato Tortellini
Delicious! This made a wonderful dinner! I chose to make this recipe because it looked so simple, and my husband loves tortellini. I followed all the directions, except that I replaced the tomatoes with a can of Italian tomatos, and instead of dried basil used fresh. I also added some chicken as other reviewers suggested, it added a good extra texture to the meal. Personally I think I would only make this with some cheese tortellini... the cheese seems to help make the dish. But I may try with a different noodle and add some additional cheeses... At any rate I'll be making this a lot!
