Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2009
Don't even bother making a single batch. So good. Additional tips (I haven't read every review, so this may have already been written): let cookies cool to warm in pan, then freeze about 10 minutes or till set, then place muffin tin cups in a shallow sinkful of hot water for 8-10 seconds. Twist gently, and they should come out beautifully.

Autumn Apple-Squash Crisp

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2009
I really wanted to like this, but it didn't turn out as awesome as I expected. Made exactly as is, except in half. In part, the bottom wasn't as sweet as I might have liked, and the topping was pretty dry. If I knew how to tweak it I would! Thanks for offering it.

Creamy Kielbasa and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2009
I'm sure it's not bad as is, but I did make a few changes. Sauteed the sausage, removed. Sauteed onion, celerey (2), carrot (2), and some crushed garlic, removed. Put in stock; added 4 peeled, cubed potatoes. REmoved after they'd boiled till fork-tender; pureed with some stock; returned to the pot. Added meat & veggies, 4 more potatoes, up to 1/2 lb of lentils. Brought to a boil, reduced to simmer, added 2 cups of milk - DON'T let it boil again. Let it slowly return to a simmer for at least 30 mins or till lentils are done. Didn't add soup. Amazing.

Lebanese Chicken and Potatoes

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2009
This dish was great. Every bite tasted meltingly of lemon. Using bone-in, skin-on thighs worked great for me - very juicy, and skin was fantastically crispy. Will definitely make again, with a few revisions: lessen the amount of oil by at least half, replace half the lemon juice with dry white wine, add 1 T crushed dried rosemary, and split the dish into 2 9x13 pans. Also, be aware that olive oil has a relatively low smoke point, so when you open your oven during the 2nd half of cooking, a small amount of smoke may come out. Went great with some sauteed spinash, would also be great with sauteed broccoli tossed in juices. Thanks for sharing!

Quick Elephant Ears

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2009
Easy and tasty. Just be very careful when frying in a skillet, and make sure to let the oil get hot enough.

Fancy Ham 'n' Cheese

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2009
Great sandwich! I didn't have cucumber or onion, and omitted the butter, but it was still great. Try it as a panini - yummy!

Whole Wheat, Oatmeal, and Banana Pancakes

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2009
These were really great! I did add another banana, 1 tsp cinnamon, and a splash or so of milk as the batter thickened up.

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2009
Not great, not bad. Four stars only because it is indeed quick and easy. I do agree with other reviewers that the flavor was disappointing with the recipe as is. Next time I'll drink the beer (used Sam Adam's Brown Ale, which they recommend for Mexican food) on the side and use chicken or veg stock instead. I even used cheese and chips on top to help and was still disappointed.

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2009
Very easy to prepare, not impressive on taste. Thanks for the starting point, though!

Amy's Cilantro Cream Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2009
Awesome dip. Made it as-is. Has a little kick to it, super easy to make in my blender. I have no idea how to use it on fish; it wasn't impressive when I tried it on tilapia, but someone with more knowledge could probably do great things with it.

Homemade Crispy Seasoned French Fries

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2009
I would recommend doubling the spices, but the batter itself is a great idea. I'm sure it'll be better next time! Thanks for the idea.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Nut Muffins

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2008
These were great! Even after sub'ing 1c whole wheat and 1c white whole wheat. I did modify them by following others' suggestions: upped the cocoa powder and milk by 1/4 c each, and salt to 1/2 t. Thanks!

Soba with Toasted Sesame Seed Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2008
It's edible. I didn't have any sesame seeds or green onions, but I followed everything else except letting it sit for a half hour and I wasn't really happy with it. My impression is that the culprit is the vinegar, but in any case, I'm taking it out of the recipe box. I'm glad so many others enjoyed it! Thanks for the recipe.

Greasy Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2008
AWESOME. Excellent use for a cheaper meat. Here's how I did it: -3 Skinless thighs (cut small parts off and ate as I was cooking! Yummy) -Bragg's Liquid Aminos instead of soy sauce -1/4 cup of lemon juice Med heat for browning garlic, high heat for browning meat once on each side to sear (don't add marinade yet), turn back down to med. Add marinade plus 1/4 cup of white wine. Continue flipping meat occasionally to keep it moist until cooked through. Remove meat (can place in oven on 180-200 to keep warm; won't be there long); turn heat up some. Stir sauce w/ fork or whisk to keep from burning. Reduce until it's a deep golden color and simmers easily. Pour over chicken and whatever else!

1-Dish Pepperoni Cheese Pizza Bake

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2008
It was okay. Don't expect the pizza dough that you're used to. Due to the mixing process and proportions that are used here it turns out very cakey. It is, however, very quick and easy to make. I don't think I'll be using this recipe again. Thanks anyway!
