Apple Walnut Salad with Cranberry Vinaigrette

Reviewed: Jul. 7, 2010

Loved this, but I made an alteration and will make another the next time I make this. I did not put the red onion in the dressing as the recipe says, I simply sprinkled it on top of the salad when I was putting it together. I probably only used about a 1/3 of a cup, too. Also, the dressing was a little too thick for our family's liking so I would reduce the sugar (the dressing thickening agent) to 2 tsps.

Low-Fat Blueberry Bran Muffins

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2009

I made these twice now, once following the recipe exactly and once with several modifications. My first batch were good, but too sweet for my liking. I used a little less than 1/2 of a cup of brown sugar the second time as well as used all whole wheat flour. The second batch turned out great. I may use even less sugar next time. But, nonetheless great, great recipe! Thank you for sharing.

Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burgers

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2009

This is the first recipe I've encountered on this site that has been raved about that not only I didn't love, but actually I disliked. My brother disliked them, too. The only way we could finish eating them was by putting a slice a cheese and a couple slice of pickles to distract our taste buds from the burgers themselves. Needless to say, I won't ever be making these again.

Quick and Easy Pizza Crust

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2009

My brother and I essentially live off this. We make it about every second day. It's so easy to make and it turns out beautifully every time. I honestly enjoy the pizza we make at home more than any pizza place's. I only wish there was a whole wheat equivalent!

My mom and her boyfriend loved, loved, loved these! And just like all cookies, they were simple to make. If I don't make them soon, I know my mom will. Definitely a keeper!

Whole Grain Waffles

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2009

These are absolutely wonderful! These are the tastiest waffles my family and I have ever had. As a vegetarian, I'm always looking for healthy and filling options for meals. My brother and I have these at least every couple of days! They're so easy to make, and they turn out perfect every time. The one modification I've made was I use all whole wheat flour instead of 1 1/2 cups whole wheat and 1/4 cup white. Thanks so much for sharing!

Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2009

These turned out great, but I did end up making some modifications. I reduced the salt to 1/2 tsp., added 1 1/4 tsp. of baking soda instead of the suggested 1/2 tsp, added 1/2 cup of apple sauce to replace 1/2 cup butter, and I added an additional quarter cup of whole wheat flour to the original 1 1/4 cup of flour. I was very pleased with the outcome of these, and I definitely will be making these again! I may add 1/2 of Splenda to replace the 1/2 cup of white sugar next time.
