Brigadeiro

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2009
5 stars for simple 3 ingredients, easy to make and lots of fun, especially for kids to help. Toppings I have tried include, coconut, cocoa powder, crushed up shortbread, various sprinkles, and chocolate sprinkles, powdered sugar. Excellent! And I was suprised they are not so sickening sweet as I had anticipated. For those who need help with the Metric Conversion.... 14oz is roughly 400 ml (396 actually).

Spooky Witches Fingers

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2009
I made these for friends and family and they were a big hit. The perfect cookie for a cup of coffee during the Halloween time. I did what others suggested and added green food color to the dough. I totally disagree with other reviewers in that they are not sweet enough, no extra sugar is needed. I would recommend instead to use really good butter, I used Kerry Gold Butter from Ireland and they tasted out of this world. I at first made a baking tray with really skinny fingers, and then was running out of time so I made them raw, finger sized but after baking, they were too big so I said they were from fat witches. Thanks for this recipe its in my October recipe batch for years to come! One more tip I used skinned almonds, and a few from the package had splits or were jagged at the "tip of the nail" area, these I searched for because they gave a pefect witchy appearance compaired to the "perfect" almond finger nails. Next time I will buy several bags to get the perfect ones for the fingers, and save the other ones for Gingerbread cookies for Advent

Kentucky Butter Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2009
Makes a great cake, I have used it several times, in fact it is one of my husbands favorites. The only thing I do is to put the mark of a bourbon vanilla pod into the batter instead of vanilla extract as I do not have extract available to buy where I live. Thanks for sharing!

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies I

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2008
Very good recipe. I have baked these several times, and I always double the recipe. I do not drop them however, instead I roll them into small balls and place them on a baking tray lined with Baking paper. They have never run, or have I had burned butter in them. They all come out perfect and I make them perhaps too small but they fit nicely into the small chubby hands of my Toddler. The cookies do not flatten out to much but have a nice thick, chewy middle. I use California Sunmade Raisins and have never needed to soften them. I made them last summer for a family get together, and no one believed that I baked them as they were all relatively the same shape, size and too perfect to be made by hand! One tip, when I am rolling them out, I have a small bowl of cold water, that I dip my fingers into so that the dough does not stick to my hands. When two trays are in the oven, I pre-roll for the next batch and line them up on another sheet of baking paper, so I can quickly return the baking sheets to the oven.

Chicken, Fennel and Mushroom Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2008
Excellent! The Quality of the Sherry is the key I believe. Its a fantastic recipe, my husband really enjoys it. Its perfect for a fall dinner, and I usually have the ingredients on hand. Loved it and it will become one of our standards for soup making. Thanks for posting it

Cream Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2008
I used this recipe for my Son's 2nd birthday. I used an Octopus shaped cakepan, and this was the perfect recipe as it was not to heavy, and staid together wonderfully. It had a really nice flavor, and was a nice color to decorate colorfully for a child's birthday. I live in Germany, and I can not buy Vanilla extract so I used some Bourbon Vanilla Sugar, plus some Butter Vanilla Aroma and did not notice a difference. It was so tasty and cool looking, I made 3 more over the weekend for other family gatherings and it was a huge hit! Thanks for sharing.

Buttermilk Pancakes II

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2008
I have made these a number of times now and each time they come out perfect. I made them when visiting my family and everyone who ate them said they were the BEST pancakes they ever had! My husband loves to snack on them later in the day and just eats them cold and plain. Excellent recipe, thanks for sharing it!!

Whole Wheat Ginger Snaps

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2006
Excellent and thanks for sharing. The cookies are moist and delicious, sometimes I add soft candied Ginger for an extra kick. Every time I make this, usually at Christmas for my husband, I buy a new bottle of ground ginger. This guarantees great gingery cookies.

Vegetable Quiche Cups to Go

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2004
This is similar to a recipe I use that calls for 3 eggs instead of egg substitute. I added 1 small cloves of garlic, sea salt, and fresh ground pepper and the Spinach Muffins as my husband calls them taste great! It also cuts down on Breakfast prep work which I like since for two people they last nearly a week!

Mediterranean Tuna Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2004
Excellent! My husband and I prefer this salad more than the South Beach Tuna Salad. We live in Germany so if there are others on SB living here, we found it very easy to make this salad using the "Feta Snack" from the Lidl with Feta cubes and Kalmatata olives, its perfect size for two servings!

No Fail Pie Crust III

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2003
This pie crust came out excellent, it was easy to make. I selected this one since it had only natural ingredients and not some shortening in it which is difficult to find one with butter! It is flaky, easy to prepare, and worked out incredibally!

Black Forest Cake II

Reviewed: Sep. 17, 2003
I live in Germany, and this is one American recipe that I must admit is nearly dead on. However in the Black Forest fresh cherries are used which have soaked overnight in the Kirschwasser (Cherry Water around 40+%). My husband always says that if it is made correctly the room will spend when you stand up!

Gorgonzola and Apple Pork Chops

Reviewed: Sep. 17, 2003
I made this for my husband's family here in Germany. They absolutely LOVED it, I do not eat pork so I can not say personally how it tasted but there were no leftovers whatsoever.
