This tasted like shortbread with peppermint oil. Hartshorn (bakers ammonia-no it's not poisonous...was the first question my husband asked) is a bit difficult to find in Riverside, CA but I found some stuff on Amazon with crazy shipping costs. You can substitute a mixture of baking soda and baking powder instead (like 2 tablespoons baking powder and 1 tsp baking soda for this recipe - that includes the baking powder listed in the recipe). The peppermint oil was a bit too strong for me but on my second try; 2 tsp peppermint extract worked just fine.

Pasta Shells with Portobello Mushrooms and Asparagus in Boursin Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2009

Only thing I changed was Chicken instead of Asparagus. Not bad but everyone in my family only said 3 stars which I agreed with...next time instead of following the submitted recipe, I'll try the notes that other members posted (like using herb Boursin instead of peppercorn).

Antipasto Pasta Salad

Reviewed: May 28, 2009

Very tasty and my husband loved it! I excluded the bell peppers (cuz I hate 'em), used sun dried tomatoes which really gave it a nice flavor and only 1 tablespoon of the oregano (2 tablespoons just looked like too much). Found me a nice new recipe for work potlucks! Woo!

Chicken Diane Style

Reviewed: May 17, 2009

I sauteed my mushrooms in butter (that alone makes mushrooms mouth-watering imo) which I think was the best part of this recipe. Definitely not the prettiest food but overall not bad. =)

Strawberry Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2009

I used the tips from other cooks and lessened the oil to 3/4c, 1/2 tbsn cinnamon and used thicker slices of strawberries. I don't recommend the thicker slices as I found that they settled somewhat and made a layer that kinda split the bread in half when I tried to remove it from the pan. Diced strawberries would probably be the best way to go. Even though my loaves were split with strawberries, this recipe is yummy! Mix some cream cheese with marshmallow cream and you have a truly yummy spread to match this bread (on a more dessert level). =) So yummy!!!!

Amazingly Easy Irish Soda Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 16, 2009

This was really yummy although mine was a tad doughy in the middle (I should've flattened it a bit more I think..) and I threw in some dried cherries, blueberries and cranberries for an extra kick in each bite. My kids loved it too. =) Thanks for the recipe!

Chicken and Spinach Alfredo Lasagna

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2009

I followed this recipe to a "T" and wasn't impressed...time consuming is true but for an awesome lasagna that would be okay. The sauce tasted like Tuna Helper's Creamy Broccoli (without the broccoli and tuna of course). Not BAD but I could spend less money on a box of Tuna Helper than I did making this...Otherwise the Lasagna did hold up well although it did overflow a lil out of my 9x13 pan - put your lasagna pan on a big cookie sheet and you won't have to clean your oven at least. =)

Fluffy Potato Casserole

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2009

Via another cooks comment I substituted the cream cheese with sour cream (I didn't have any cream cheese) which works fine but you pretty much get a twice baked potato taste. Add bacon bits and cheddar cheese on top to complete it~ Like many others have said, halve the onions. The full amount is just really super onion-y.

Quick and Easy Alfredo Sauce

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2009

This was exactly what I needed! Something quick to make after work for the family and all the ingredients were random things I had left in my fridge; nothing truly expensive or exotic as some Alfredo cheese recipes may desire. Threw it atop some angel hair pasta with some garlic butter chicken breasts.

Cranberry Apple Pie III

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2008

Perhaps I added too many cranberries -I used the full bag minus a few odd berries...I don't like wasting berries >.>;- but this wasn't what I was expecting...a bit more like cranberry sauce on soft apples than an apple pie with cranberry accents.
