Cinnamon Streusel Orange Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2009
Wonderful, tasty moist muffins. Great right out of the oven. Only change I made was I did not have buttermilk so substituted orange yogurt. We had one just before bed after they came out of the oven and again for breakfast. Fabulous!

Peppery Scalloped Potatoes

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2009
The first time I made this exactly as the recipe directed. The next time I used 3/4 cup half and half and 3/4 cup chicken broth. Both times I felt the recipe was a winner and loved the addition of the cayenne pepper. Very creamy and rich and I will definitely make again.

Green Chile Frittata

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009
I had a similar recipe many years ago and lost track of it. I wanted to bake the frittata in a 7 x 11 pan so only used 8 eggs and left everything else the same. Came out great and we loved it. With my old recipe I found that it was so versatile, I could put pepperoni on top, or asparagus spears or whatever you have on hand. Really good and easy recipe.

Cottage Cheese Meat Loaf

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2009
Very good, liked the addition of the cottage cheese. Flavorful and easy to make. I think the problem others had had more to do with the lack of color because no ketchup used in the glaze and also the cottage cheese produced a lighter look.

Barbequed Hamburgers

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2009
The only change I made was balsamic vinegar because I didn't have any other kind and per the review by Jim I transferred the patties to a baking dish and baked after pan browning. I was surprised by how much we enjoyed them. Great way to have an individual meatloaf.

Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2009
08/31/09- As in the case of other reviews, I had leftover rice (quite a lot) and was craving some rice pudding. It seems most rice pudding recipes call for uncooked rice so this one attracted me right away. I tripled the recipe, adding some brown sugar and cinnamon and raisins. It turned out great. I think next time I'll add an egg to up the creaminess as another reviewer suggested. Great basic, old-fashioned recipe that lets you add or change as needed. 09/08/09- I have made this recipe several times now and added a beaten egg to the mixture to up the creaminess quotient. As I commented earlier, this is a great basic recipe to change as needed. I also substituted Splenda for sugar the last time I made and it was still an excellent pudding. Very creamy and satisfying recipe for an old-fashioned treat.

Beat and Bake Orange Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2009
Last week I made the Orange Yogurt Bread on this site and thought it was wonderful and gave it a glowing review. Last night I made the Beat and Bake Orange Cake. I prefer this recipe and the frosting is so good, it really makes makes this cake. The only change I made was to substitute orange yogurt for the milk. I felt it gave the tang that an orange cake should have.

Spicy Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2009
I liked this recipe, it was easy and quick to put together and fairly simple. I mixed it in my food processor as I do whenever I find a recipe that requires butter or shortening be "cut in". Although, it seemed they cooked very quickly and the first pan were way too dark and I didn't overcook according to the 8-10 minutes. I removed the other cookies from the oven much earlier than the first ones. The banana in the recipe is unique. I did add vanilla extract although the recipe didn't call for it.

Orange Oatmeal Muffins

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2009
Yesterday I made the Tasty Orange-Oatmeal Muffins on the Allrecipes site and tonight I made these. These I found were much better tasting. I put 1 cup of craisins in with the boiling water/oj/oatmeal mixture to help plump them and even forgot to add the vanilla extract. I made a streusel from a banana crumb muffin recipe on Allrecipes and think this is an excellent muffin.

Tasty Orange-Oatmeal Muffins

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2009
Muffin with nice oatmeal texture and tangy orange flavor. Instead of the orange juice/sugar icing I made a streusel from another muffin recipe on this site. I had no problems with sticking, I use a jumbo muffin tin and just greased the tin with butter. I did not add the raisins to the batter.

Orange Yogurt Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2009
Wow, what great taste! On my second go-round I also substituted some of the all-purpose flour with wheat flour. Wonderful, pound cake flavor that would be really good with fresh fruit and whipped cream. I added some orange zest to the glaze. Loved the glaze too.

Orange Banana Nut Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2009
I also really liked this recipe. I made only one change: instead of 1 1/4 cups mashed banana, I added 1/2 cup banana yogurt. I thought this banana bread recipe rocked. So, good!

Bright Blue Monday Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2009
I usually don't change the recipe on the first try, but broke my own rule here. I added 1 tsp. vanilla to the batter because others had recommended that change. The change I should not have made was I doubled the recipe and then baked in a 10" tube pan. I had to bake for 1/2 hour longer than recommended in the recipe. Once cooled though, I could not remove from the pan without it breaking apart, so I just cut pieces off as we ate it and then today took it completely out of the pan. The cake itself tasted great. I won't bake it in that type of pan again.

Blueberry Clafouti

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2009
I had never heard of a clafouti. Since I love any custard, I really liked this and with the blueberries, it was fabulous. Easy to make and not your standard cobbler.

Blackberry Cobbler

Reviewed: Jul. 19, 2009
As I don't routinely have self-rising flour in my pantry, I made the changes as suggested by Caramello in her review. I also did half white sugar and half brown, added a couple of "glugs" of half and half to the milk, and added a 1/4 cup wheat flour to the flour to make up for the additional liquid. I also added almond extract, vanilla extract and cinnamon to the blackberries. Even so, I told my husband after putting in the oven that this recipe seemed deceptively easy and I had my doubts about the finished product. Not to worry: this is a fabulous tasting and fabulously easy recipe that just begs for vanilla ice cream and says summer picnic to me. Great recipe, Valerie!

Frosted Peanut Cookies

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2009
I didn't pay close attention to the recipe and when I was actually in process of making it up, I noticed there wasn't peanut butter in the actual cookie, just in the frosting. BUT, after baking and frosting these, I and my husband decided we love these. Great flavor and crunchiness with the peanuts that are in the oookie.

Restaurant-Style Potato Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2009
I come from a family in which my mother's (now deceased) potato salad is legendary. I was surprised by how good and simple to make this one is. I did increase the onion, grated carrot and celery and added hard-boiled eggs, but I don't think it changed the flavor overall with these additions. Great recipe, Mary Ann!

Spiced Banana Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2009
I wasn't so impressed..., Not a bad recipe, but I think I'll save my overripe bananas for a banana bread or the Banana Crumb Muffins on this site which are fabulous.

Passion Bars

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2009
After seeing other's issues with spreading the peanut butter/condensed milk mixture I thought that the bars would be more easily prepared in my food processor. It worked great. Another change I made was to add 1/3 cup of cream cheese and 1 tsp. vanilla to the peanut butter/milk mixture in the food processor. I store the cooked bars in the refrigerator so it keeps longer and that helps with the crumbly top layer, as well. Great dessert with these changes.
