So easy, so versatile, so yummy.

Fabulous. Made everything in a stock pot. Didn't see a reason to use the frying pan. Also, only used 4 pounds of meat and 1/4 pound of bacon. More than enough. Also, remember how much salt is in the bacon before adding a bunch to your flour mix. Deglazed with wine. I love the Guiness and mashed potato ideas - I will do that next time.

Blueberry Nut Oat Bran Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2009

Mmmm. Mmmm. Good. Moist, flavorful, and not too dense. As someone suggested, I used two whole eggs instead of egg substitute. Everything else the same. Unlike a lot of muffin recipes, the batter fills the muffins tins to the tops. It is probably a good idea to use muffin liners, as I did not and the blueberry juice went syrupy during cooking and kinda stuck to the edges at the tops. I used a knife to circle around each tin and gently pull out each muffin.

Picky 4 year olds ate this like it was ice cream. Sure winner.

Cracked Sugar Cookies I

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2009

Buttery loveliness. I did notice that I had to let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before removing them to a wire rack, otherwise they sometimes broke into pieces. Definite 5 star.

Salmon Croquettes

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2009

OK, but rather unexciting. I should have used a sauce to liven things up, I think. I did add some lemon zest to the mix, which I think generally improved overall flavor.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2009

The incredible disappearing muffin. Fabulous. Used a tad less oil, added 1/2 tsp of vanilla, and didn't put the pecans and sugar on top. Didn't really need it.

French Beef Stew

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2009

Outstanding. Perfect tang. I deglazed with wine, as others suggested. I thought the stew was going to need onions, but alas, it was perfect without. My picky kids cleaned their bowls and asked for more.

Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2009

The best cornbread recipe I've tasted - and I'm from the South. When baked, it got nice and golden on top - crunchy texture - and very soft and buttery on the inside. My husband's eyes rolled back in his head. He'd seen Heaven for a bit. Thanks!

Beaker's Vegetable Barley Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2009

I made this for vegetarian guests. I thought it was going to be so boring, but everyone raved, and I must say I thought it was downright fantastic. Will definitely make again!

Thin Egg Pancakes

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2009

Heavenly. Changes: I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the milk. Also, after flipping, I sprinkled about two teaspoons of chocolate chips on to the pancake. When I folded them, the chocolate melted beautifully. A dollop of whipped cream atop, and you've got very happy (and very hyper!) kids.
