Tasty Tres Leches! If anything I would increase the volume of the milk mixture. I added a 1/4 tsp. of baking soda with the baking powder, added only 3/4 cup sugar with the butter and separated the eggs (mixed the yolks with the creamed sugar mixture and beat the whites until soft peaks formed and added the 1/4 cup sugar, beat until stiff peaks, folded into egg yolk/sugar mix). Served the cake with strawberries and bluberries. Had the cake for desert one night, then brought the remainder to the office. I went to see what was left at the end of the day and found the clean cake pan drying by the sink.

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2009

I made the streusel that one of the other reviews mentioned, added a bit of lemon zest and used more blueberries. Filling the cups to the brim made big, beautiful muffins that disappeared quickly. I doubled the recipe and it made 14 big muffins in my normal muffin pan.

Chicken Pot Pie VIII

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2009

Very Good! Used some leftover roasted chicken. I halved the recipe and it almost overflowed one pie crust (although I did added probably a full 1 1/2 cups of mushrooms and 2 tbsp of onion). Also, I used store-bought crust as I was short on time. Still came out amazing.

Wine Fondue

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2009

A bit strong at the beginning, but mellowed as it cooked. Our fondue pot set the wine on fire twice which made for some entertaining moments. Mushrooms cooked in the wine were wonderful. We used Chardonnay and cooked scallops, shrimp, pork tenderloin, beef sirloin, chicken breast, broccoli, potatoes and mushrooms. Also made a curry sauce, cocktail sauce and lemon-garlic sauce to go with the meal.

Maple-Garlic Marinated Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2009

I'm giving this recipe the benefit of the doubt as I only marinated this for 6 hours and the flavors had quite penetrated as much as I would have liked. Despite this, the pork was very delicious and we ate it for dinner two nights in a row. Definitely make the leftover marinade into a sauce. The good maple syrup is too good to toss. Used a spicy brown mustard and low heat to cook so the marinade wouldn't burn.

Amber's Sesame Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 10, 2009

Definitely not restaurant quality, but still pretty good. Needed more sauce, so I added more teriyaki sauce, a little soy sauce, and a couple dashes of hot sesame oil. Definitely doesn't need more honey. Also used more oil than in the recipe and subbed green beans and some shitake mushrooms for green pepper and pan fried chicken in a mix of vegetable and sesame oil as suggested.
