Chocolate Brownies with Fewer Calories

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2009

First, let me say I made a few changes. I used milk instead of water, about a cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 2 eggs instead of 4 whites (I only had 2 eggs on hand). That said, this was a very good recipe. They weren't as good as regular brownies, of course, but for being lower in fat than regular brownies these were great. The batter was very thin, and I was a bit worried, but they cooked up nicely. I will definitely make these again!

Asian Orange Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009

This was awesome! I threw in some broccoli, snow peas, carrots, red bell peppers and water chestnuts and served it over brown rice. Next time I will probably just skip the breading because it got a bit mushy for me, but the sauce was great! Thanks!

Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009

Delicious! It's not too spicy, but has delicious flavor. Instead of cooking it in all that butter and oil, I put it on a sheet of foil that I sprayed with cooking spray on my indoor grill. I sprayed both sides of the chicken and then sprinkled the spices on top. After cooking on both sides I drizzled the lime juice over it and then added a few shakes of the garlic powder. Yum!!

Feta Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009

This was very good! Instead of the flavored feta, I used an 8-oz block of feta that I crumbled, one 2-ounce pack of sun-dried tomatoes (chopped) and 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped basil. I breaded the chicken on both sides and then stuffed it. I served this over angel hair pasta with "Best Marinara Sauce Yet" from this site. Will make again!

These cookies are AMAZING! Any time I want to make chocolate chip cookies, I immediately turn to this recipe. They are soft and delicious! I make the cookies smaller than the recipe calls for so I can eat more with less guilt! :) I would recommend this recipe to anyone!

Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2009

These were good, however I found the actual biscuit a bit bland. The melted butter topping was good, and I added some Old Bay seasoning. Next time I will add the seasoning to the mix as other reviewers have suggested.

Cabbage Fat-Burning Soup

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2009

I enjoyed this soup. There was a little too much cabbage for my taste, and I had to add a lot of black pepper to put some flavor in it. Otherwise, it was pretty good :)

Light Wheat Rolls

Reviewed: May 2, 2009

Delicious! Instead of making spirals, I simply rolled them into balls and placed them in muffin cups. They turned into muffins, but that was okay. When I kneaded it, the dough was pretty sticky, so I ended up adding a lot more flour to make a stiff dough. They were really light and fluffy and tasted great dipped in tomato soup. Overall, a great recipe!

Mexican Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas

Reviewed: Apr. 25, 2009

A pretty good recipe. However, they were a bit dry and bland. I had to add another 1/4 cup of water to make a good dough, and even then they were dry. They rolled out very well, but a floured rolling pin is a must! Next time I might add a little taco seasoning to the tortillas to add some flavor. UPDATE: I froze some leftover balls of dough and I also froze some already-made tortillas. The already-made tortillas thawed really well, but the balls of dough were dry and tough and I ended up just throwing them out. If you have extra dough, COOK IT and then freeze it! DO NOT FREEZE THE UNCOOKED DOUGH!

Quick and Almost-Professional Buttercream Icing

Reviewed: Apr. 24, 2009

I have used this twice now, and I got different results each time. The first time, I made a single batch and it turned out great. The second time, I doubled the recipe, and it turned out yellower than the first time and not as creamy. However, I liked the taste. Advice: Don't double the recipe!

Waistline-Friendly Turkey Chili

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2009

Delicious! Instead of chipotle BBQ sauce, I used Jack Daniel's Original No.7 sauce and tossed in some chopped chipotle peppers. I also used a whole red pepper, a whole green pepper, and half of an onion. Although it was a bit spicy, I will definitely make this again!

Dessert Crepes

Reviewed: Mar. 26, 2009

This was a good recipe, but my crepes turned out pretty spongy. However, I have never had crepes before, so maybe that's what they are supposed to be like, or maybe it was my technique. Overall, the taste was good. I made a chocolate filling and spread it on the crepes and then added some bananas. Yum!

White Chocolate-Cranberry Biscotti

Reviewed: Mar. 2, 2009

These were yummy! I used dried cherries and vanilla baking chocolate pieces... The only problem came when I was slicing the "loaf". The slices sort of fell apart when I cut them. Otherwise, delicious!

Whipped Shortbread Cookies

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009

WOW! These cookies are amazing! They are so light, they literally melt in your mouth! Instead of cherries, I used drops of cherry pie filling. They turned out great! I will definitely make these again!
