This was great and the whole family enjoyed it. I cut the butter and sugar in half. Used a gluten free flour and granulated cane sugar since it has a lower glycemic value. Could have cut back even more on the sugar and it would still be sweet. Thanks for sharing!

Simple Peanut Squash

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2012

Delicious, quick and easy. I found it took much longer to bake so I increased the temp to 400 for a quicker bake. Of course it all depends on how soft/firm you like your squash. Great recipe!

Chicken with Garlic, Basil, and Parsley

Reviewed: Jan. 9, 2012

For all the herbs it should have been more flavorful. Easy but just not much taste.

Quinoa and Black Beans

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2011

Excellent as written! Wonderful flavor and healthy too! My 2 year old declared "its delicious!". I ate it cold the next day with some chopped tomato and a bit of sour cream. Very versatile dish!

Fresh Strawberry Upside Down Cake

Reviewed: May 30, 2011

Easy delicious recipe! I made this with fresh picked strawberries I pulsed in the blender until there were just a few chunks left. Took it to the pool to have a dessert and topped it with whipped cream. Everyone asked for more!

Irish Beef Stew

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2011

Liked the combination of ingredients but it definitely needs seasoning. Add your own seasonings to your taste but keep it IRISH!

Irish Soda Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2011

Excellent! Used exact ingredients but found I didn't need to bake is as long as noted. Time could be cut by 5 - 10 minutes. This makes a really large loaf so I made it a second time and divided between 2 pans. PERFECT!!!

Seven Layer Salad

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2010

This was ok. The blend of flavors was good. I omitted the "dressing" because it did not emulsify when mixed. It was fine leaving it off (as it was too fattening anyway) and everyone could choose their own dressing to top it with.

Black Beans and Rice

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2010

I liked this combination and the ease of preparation but felt it needed some salt/other seasoning. Definitely a dish that you can add to and change to your liking.

Chantal's New York Cheesecake

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2010

This was good and easy, the whole family enjoyed it. Great texture too. I think you could cut back to only 3 packages of cream cheese - it ends up being about 2 1/2 inches high! I prefer mine a little sweeter so if you use all 4 packages of cream cheese then i suggest adding a topping like cherries or some other fruit filling.

Roasted Garlic Cauliflower

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2010

Wonderful! I only had 1 clove of garlic so I used that and substituted garlic powder for the remaining amount. I also used vegetable oil instead of olive (taste preference) and it was great. My boys (4 & 7) loved it too! Thanks for a great recipe for cooked cauliflower!

Parmesan Broccoli Balls

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2010

Delicious! I took previous advice and only used 1/2 cup of butter. I also used less onions. With less moisture to absorb I only had to let the combined mixture set in the fridge about 20 minutes before shaping into balls. Everyone enjoyed these!

Triple Berry Crisp

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2010

I also love the idea of the fruit being in between. My kids loved it too! I took someone else suggestion and cut the sugar...turned out fine. I also took the suggestion to cut the butter in half but the topping was too dry. Maybe use 3/4 of the amount of butter suggested. Still great!!

Asparagus Cashew Rice Pilaf

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2010

Loved this! My husband went crazy over it too. I don't eat wheat so I used rice spaghetti and it was just fine. Per my own preference I will probably use a different nut and toast them before adding but overall this was such a nice alternative to just rice or pasta.

Italian Sausage, Peppers, and Onions

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2010

Great flavor! I didn't have all the ingredients but used most. I only had yellow onions and jarred roasted red peppers which I added late since they're already tender. No dried basil either and this was still fantastic!

Cherry Cobbler I

Reviewed: Jun. 11, 2010

Great flavor but I found that 1 cup of water mixed with the sugar and corn starch was WAY to much! Will cut back on the amount of sugar and definitely halve the water added.
