Every day that I use the oven instead of the microwave is a good day.
My cooking tragedies
Cauliflower as a substitute for mashed potatos (shudder).

Lemon Cranberry Muffins
3.5 stars. These were a breeze to throw together and tasted good, but they didn't blow me away. I subbed soymilk for milk, craisins for cranberries and topped with sugar instead of almonds (what I had on hand). Baked at 400 for exactly 18 min. Recipe yielded 17 muffins.

Big Soft Ginger Cookies
I subbed 1 tbsp water for OJ and let the dough chill in the fridge for 40 minutes before baking(per other reviews). These cookies flattened out too much and didn't ever set. I also felt the margarine taste was overwhelming. As written, I can only give the recipe 1 star; however, if I were to alter the recipe and use butter instead of margarine and use 1/2 brown & 1/2 white sugar I may have had a better cookie. I will not make these again.

Caramelized Baked Chicken
I doubled the sauce, heated on the stove until boiling, reduced heat, poured over 5lbs of chicken legs and thighs and baked at 375 for an hour. My husband and I both thought this chicken was a nice change, but the flavor didn't permeate the meat as well as I had hoped. I'm hoping after a night in the fridge, our leftovers will soak up more of the flavor.
