REDUCE THE SUGAR!!! I should have read the comments before I tried this. The recipe is delicious and the cooking instructions were PERFECT, but this was tooth-achingly sweet. Will definitely try again with only 1 cup of sugar like other people suggested.

Perfect Berry Shortcakes

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2010

AMAZING!! I was just craving something sweet after dinner and whipped these up in 5 minutes, but they're delicious and beautiful enough for company. They came out PERFECTLY crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. My boyfriend couldn't stop talking about how "frickin' yummy" these were! :)

Strawberry Torte

Reviewed: May 22, 2009

AMAZING!! The one thing I did was to cut the ladyfingers in half to make the outside of the tort - i loved the way the ladyfingers tasted after they had soaked in the cream mixture, and I thought the crunchy parts that were too tall to get soaked didn't go well with this soft torte (and also tend to make it look like a fortress...). I've also used light cream instead of heavy, and the presentation isn't as good (because it doesn't get quite as stiff) but I actually thought it tasted lighter and better.

Roasted Chicken with Risotto and Caramelized Onions

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2009

This was pretty good - this was the first time I made risotto, and while it did take a long time, it turned out well. I did thought that the balsamic was an interesting twist but it was a little too strong and overpowering. Next time will reduce to 2 tbsp like other reviewers suggested.

Homestyle Turkey, the Michigander Way

Reviewed: Apr. 5, 2009

I made this for Thanksgiving, and it was the first time I had ever made the turkey. The recipe was very easy to follow, and turned out DELICIOUS even though I forgot to baste!

Portobello Penne Pasta Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 5, 2009

DELICIOUS! I made this for a dinner party and it was a HUGE hit. I browned some strips of boneless skinless chicken thighs and added them with the mushrooms, and they went very well with this dish!

Cheesecake Cookie Cups

Reviewed: Apr. 5, 2009

Pretty good, but the cookie bottom got pretty dense and stick since the cookie had nowhere to expand.

Corn Fritters

Reviewed: Apr. 5, 2009

These fritters are DELICIOUS! I just made 2 minor adjustments - used a 16 oz can of corn this time to increase the corn ratio, and used about 1/4 c of sugar instead because I like them sweet.

Shiitake Angel Hair Pasta

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2008

delicious! my family is super picky and they all loved these noodles. i made it with light cream, and it still tasted good, but the sauce didn't stick to the noodles as well.
