Stuffed Shells I

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009

I followed the recipe as they wrote it: wonderful results. Very cheesy and filling, and not as laborious as I thought it would be.

Aunt Cora's World's Greatest Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009

GREAT recipe! This recipe made picture perfect cookies, and you can easily taste both the peanut butter and chocolate in every bite. Crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside -- awesome. I took others suggestion and added 1tsp vanilla and 1/2tsp salt; I also used real butter in place of margarine.

Spiced Quinoa

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2009

I was looking for a dish that used quinoa, and this satisfies my desire for both high fiber and high protein. This tasty dish relies on the spices added for the great flavor, so it's low in calories. I ended up using pinto beans instead, and it still tasted great. It didn't take me anywhere near 45 minutes either. Great recipe.

Quinoa Tabbouleh

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2009

Very tasty, perhaps a little too much parsley. I made the mistake of making this in January: this is a summer dish -- eat in warm weather to really appreciate its fresh flavors.

Pan-Poached Alaskan Salmon Piccata

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2008

I followed the recipe as it was written except for the fact that I used bigger pieces of salmon than what they suggested. Very easy recipe.

Pretty good recipe. I followed the recipe as it was written but should have followed others' suggestion to double the sauce.

Pork Chile Rojo (Pulled Pork with Red Chile Sauce)

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2008

I listened to other reviews and used only one jar of salsa. Other than that, I followed the recipe and the result was delicious! We served this on tortillas like a burrito or taco: messy, but tasty!

Baked Brie in Puff Pastry

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2008

I followed someone else's advice and spread apricot preserves between the two layers: DELICIOUS! It served well with pears, apples, and French bread slices.

Festive Fudge

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2008

Followed this recipe exactly with great results and many compliments! Making this recipe in an 8x8 pan makes for some THICK fudge; my 2 quart casserole dish was reasonable though. GREAT recipe!

Russian Mushroom and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2008

AWESOME recipe! It was rich with the earthy flavors of the mushrooms and the potatoes: this is quality comfort food. I used minibellas and yukon gold potatoes and enjoyed the results.

Fresh Pear Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2008

Great recipe! I think I added more lemon juice and zest than they suggested, but otherwise, I followed the recipe and had no problems or complaints. I used 4 kinds of pears and sliced them VERY thinly -- it helped fit more pears in I think.

Ruth's Grandma's Pie Crust

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2008

I thought this was a good recipe for pie crust. It came out nicely and tasted fine, but I'm not sure this is the easiest dough to work with: it kept breaking and tearing regardless how much flour I put down first. Listening to others' suggestions, I kept the dough and materials cold every step of the way. For me, this recipe made two bottom crusts and one one top.

Yummy Sweet Potato Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2008

Very good dish! This is definitely a sweet and not a savory dish. I followed others' suggestions and cut the sugar in half, and I doubled the topping. I also added a little ground ginger for kicks and giggles. This dish went over very well with family and friends.

Mini Pumpkin Butterscotch Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2008

Great combination of flavor! One note after making two very different batches: packing down the brown sugar results in shorter, more dense muffins, while not packing it down (less brown sugar) gives fluffier, cake-like muffins. Great recipe as is.

Baklava

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2008

Great baklava, but I made the mistake of serving it immediately after making it, so some of the layers didn't stay together. It held its form much better the next day.
