Cranberry Crunch Squares

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2011

These were good and very easy to make. I put them together in only about 15 minutes. I used leftover cranberry sauce (2 cups) instead of a can of the stuff and used 1 1/2 stick of butter. I also put half the crumble on the bottom and half on top of the berries. I got a lot of compliments on this dish!

Pumpkin Pancakes

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2011

These pancakes are extremely fluffy and delicious! Even a two year old in our group enjoyed them. It was easy to put together the recipe. I doubled it and got about 20 pancakes.

Orzo and Tomato Salad with Feta Cheese

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2010

This salad was just okay. I did like the fresh herbs but still preferred other pasta salads I have made. I did not add olives since I dislike olives. We will not make this again.

Frozen Fruit Cups

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2010

These were quite good and easy to make. I followed the recipe except using splenda for sugar and using fresh raspberries instead of the cherries to make it more healthy. They stayed good for a long time after I popped them out of the muffin tin and kept them in a plastic bag. Then 15-20 min. before serving I put them out on the counter. Easy side dish!

Peanut Butter-Chocolate Banana Cream Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2010

This dessert was a hit for my husband and mother in law's combined birthdays! Everyone kept commenting how delicious it was. I followed the recipe except using sugar free banana pudding mix instead of vanilla to give it a more banana type flavor.

Tiramisu II

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2010

My husband greatly enjoyed this for his birthday cake! He always wanted tiramisu and thought this tasted better than in restaurants. I followed the directions, except adding sweetener to the cream/cheese mixture. I used splenda instead of white sugar.

These tasted good but were hard as rocks. I followed the directions and don't know what went wrong. Next time I will try a different recipe.

Paul's Pumpkin Bars

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009

I really have enjoyed this recipe! I have had many compliments on these bars and even a recipe request. They are moist and delicious. I did use 1/3 oil and 1/3 melted butter since I ran out of canola oil and a 9x13" pan which I baked for about 40 minutes since it was thicker. This recipe is a keeper!

Navratan Korma

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009

This was a tasty recipe but did not taste like a traditional Indian korma that you would get in a restaurant. I followed the directions except did not saute the paneer since I enjoy the soft texture of it. My husband also commented that he enjoyed it but did not think it had the same taste of a regular korma.

Beef 'n' Biscuit Bake

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009

My husband loved this dish but I thought it was just okay. We followed the directions but added more spices and subbed pinto for kidney beans and veggie crumbles instead of beef. My complaint was that the bottom of the biscuits seemed uncooked or mushy but the only way to avoid that would probably be to cook them separately.

Gobi Aloo (Indian Style Cauliflower with Potatoes)

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009

Usually I do not have much luck replicating the flavors I get in Indian restaurant dishes. This was the exception! It tasted authentic. The only problem I had with it is that the time in the recipe is not long enough to get the potatoes and cauliflower to cook thoroughly. I had to add time to it and as other reviewers mentioned additional water was necessary so the food would not bun. Next time I would cook or par cook the potatoes first.

15-Minute Dinner Nachos Supreme

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009

This dish made a delicious, easy meal in just a few short minutes. I followed the directions except using instant brown rice instead of white and veggie crumbles instead of beef. I also added black beans to the mixure. We will continue to make this!

Apple Oatmeal Crisp

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2009

Great, basic recipe. I chose this recipe since it had easy to put together ingredients and the results were fantastic. I did use blueberries instead of apples since it is blueberry season, but I think this is a recipe you can easily adapt to any type of fruit! Used splenda instead of white sugar.

Blueberry Lemon Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2009

Yummy, dense quick bread. It had a lot of lemon flavor since I added extra lemon zest and a teaspoon or two of lemon juice to the recipe as well. to make it easier for me I melted the butter and that worked out fine too since I did not have time to wait for the butter to soften. We will make this again!

Refreshing Summer Orzo Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2009

My husband enjoyed this more than I did. I followed the directions except using veggie stock. I do not enjoy olives so I put them separate so my husband could add them to his own dish. This was the first time I tried capers and unfortunately I did not like them. I recommend to all others trying them for the first time to try before you add the liquid to the dish. I substituted walnuts for pine nuts to reduce the cost. The spices added much flavor to the pasta.

Meatless Loaf

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2009

This recipe was just okay for me. As another reviewer stated it was much too salty since both the veggie crumbles and soup mix contain lots of salt. I prefer using the Cottage Cheese Loaf recipe on this site instead and my husband agreed. I did bake some carrots and other veggies while this baked to make my meal easy.
