I added ground flax seed, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and a crumb topping (2 tbsp butter, 1/2 c oats, 1/2 c brown sugar, 1/4 c flour, 1/4 c chopped walnuts) and these were delicious! I do think next time I will use more applesauce as other reviewers have suggested, as they were just a little bit dry. And I think these would be yummy with chopped dates... will be giving that a try! Great healthy recipe!

Intensely Chocolate Mousse Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2009

Wow, this is good. I made it "fancier" for a special occasion with a chocolate graham cracker crust, chocolate ganache on top (EASY recipe on this site!), and raspberry sauce. I also had no springform pan so I baked it in a deep dish pie pan. It's not as much "mousse" as I expected... much richer than mousse, sort of halfway to a cheesecake. Sooo good though. If you try it with the crust/ganache/raspberries like I did, it would be good with white chocolate.

Mexican Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2009

These taste great and are SO easy to make. I was afraid rolling them out would be troublesome, but they didn't stick or break at all, even when transferring to the frying pan.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cake Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2009

These are awesome! The only change I made was to use half brown sugar and half white. The only reason I gave this four stars instead of five is that the chocolate was a little TOO overwhelming as written... I guess I'm just not a true chocoholic, lol! Next time I'm going to try half white chocolate chips and half regular (and there WILL be a next time!)

North Carolina-Style Pulled Pork

Reviewed: Mar. 11, 2009

This recipe is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Since it's the middle of winter, I made it in the crockpot instead of the grill... so I added a little liquid smoke. I also used some extra brown sugar, but I think it would have been fine with the original recipe amount. This is an awesome recipe if you like NC-style pulled pork... we served it with cole slaw on potato rolls, and made total pigs of ourselves two days in a row =) It's just like the BBQ we love on the Outer Banks!

Baked Oatmeal II

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2009

This recipe is awesome! I would say this is more like 6 servings, but it's so delicious two people can finish it off in one sitting! =) I did make a few changes to make it a little lighter (taking into account said overeating)... I only used 3/4 c. brown sugar, and instead of 1/2 c. butter, I used 1/4 c. butter and 3/4 c. unsweetened applesauce. I've added a diced apple too (instead of the cranberries), and that makes it soooo good, like a cross between oatmeal and apple crisp.

Easy Fruit Cobbler

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2009

This is awesome, SO easy and SOOO good!! I used a can of lite cherry pie filling instead of the peaches, and just added a little vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the batter for extra flavor. GREAT idea for an easy, really tasty dessert.

Pumpkin Gingerbread

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2009

Really, really, really good!! As some previous reviewers suggested, I substituted milk for the water, and added nutmeg. I also wanted to make it more "gingerbread", less "pumpkin", so instead of 3 c. of white sugar, I used 2 c. of white, 3/4 c. of brown, and 1/2 c. of molasses. It was just a little sweet, so next time, I think I'd cut the brown sugar to 1/2 c. But it disappeared FAST, this is an instant favorite for me!

Cranberry Nut Bread I

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2009

This bread is incredible! I did make a few changes: omitted nuts (allergies); added extra cranberries, halved; used 3 tbsp of oil instead of 2, since some reviews said it was dry; and added a glaze of confectioner's sugar and orange juice. Came out moist and DELICIOUS! I might try reducing the orange zest just a little and adding vanilla next time, since I like it just a LITTLE sweeter/less tart, but overall it was wonderful. This is now my go-to recipe for cranberry orange bread!

Perfect Baked Jerk Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2009

Very good, although I reduced the salt to 1 tsp and baked at 375 (rushed) and it still tasted great. Next time, I think I'll try putting the rub directly on the meat (under the skin) and see how that goes... I don't like eating the skin.
