Butternut Squash Soup II

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2009
This was delicious! I used 1 sweet potato instead of the 2 regular potatoes, and I only had baby carrots on hand, so I used about a dozen of them. I split the squash in half lengthwise, scooped out the inside, sprayed it with canola oil, and baked it cut-side down for 30 minutes in a 375 degree oven. I used Smart Balance Light Margarine (which is dairy-free) instead of butter (has half the calories & fat of butter too!) to sizzle up the vegetables, and Better than Boulion No-Chicken base instead of chicken broth. With those two changes, it became completely Vegan! (like me) Since the squash was pre-cooked, after I sizzled the vegetables, I threw in two bay leaves, and covered and simmered for only 15 minutes. I blended it with a stick blender in the pot, then threw in a pinch each of cayenne pepper, sage, and french thyme. It was great, my family loved it! Next time I think I may puree only part of the soup, as the texture once it was all blended came out a tad baby-food-like.

Baked Kale Chips

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2009
These sounded like a good idea, but were not great. I found them to be WAY too salty! They're just not for me (and I'm even a Vegan!) but they're an interesting way to cook kale, so I would still recommend it to people who already like kale.

BAKER'S ONE BOWL Brownies

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2009
These are the BEST homemade brownies ever! I usually leave out the walnuts, (I'm just not a fan of crunchy things in my brownies) and I use a 1/2 cup of butter and a 1/4 cup of veg. oil - the brownies come out chocolaty and moist, with a real nice, subtle buttery flavor.

Falafel I

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2009
The flavor of these were not great - I think it was the peanut butter. Whatever it was, it seemed like all the flavors were at war in my mouth. I will not make these again.

Sean's Mock Tuna Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2009
This was really good! The texture is very good, and a bit like tuna salad - though to be honest, I'm no judge, as I haven't had the 'real' stuff in ages. I'm a Vegan, so I left out the horseradish. Also, I didn't have any Wasabi or lime juice on hand, so I left that out, and used lemon juice to compensate for the lime. I also used Veganaise & whole wheat bread crumbs. I served it on a whole wheat bun with lettuce and tomato, and had it for lunch. Even my brother liked it, and he hates chickpeas. So overall, VERY good!

Agedashi-esque Tofu

Reviewed: May 24, 2009
The texture after being fried was horrible, and the cornstarch caused it to stick to the pan.

Japanese-Style Sesame Green Beans

Reviewed: May 24, 2009
These were really delicious! I used those frozen "steam-able" green beans, thawed them out, and then just followed the rest of the recipe. They have a GREAT flavor - and I don't usually like green beans!

Cucumber Sunomo

Reviewed: May 24, 2009
This was really fantastic! The only bad thing I have to say about it is that it seemed like there was too much of the "dressing" for the cucumbers. But I just used a slotted spoon to serve them, and they turned out fine. Great recipe, I would definitely recommend it!
