Delicious and moist! I tried to stick to the recipe to give an accurate review. I only had 4 squares of bittersweet chocolate so used a little extra butter to compensate. I used 2 large eggs instead of egg substitute. I tried to toast the wheat germ but it was taking too long. Added a little coconut to the batter just because I love coconut and don't mind the extra calories.

Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2012

Good, easy recipe! Used leftover pineapple rings diced and sqeezed dry. (1 can crushed pineapple is too much.) When forming the cookie the dough was dry and crumbly but they baked nicely. Suggest more cinnamon. Made a second batch and replaced 1 cup quick oats for rolled oats.

West African Peanut Stew

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2012

Love this dish! I've always called it African Groundnut Stew. I like it thick so cut way down on the chicken stock. Added tomato paste - did not add potatoes. Eat over rice.

Ham and Pumpkin Satay

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2011

Surprised how delicious this tasted over spagetti noodles! I happened to have all these ingredients on hand and it came together very well. I used thawed butternut squash from my freezer instead of pumpkin. Used less coriander. Used less peanut butter because I thought it would overwhelm the other ingredients but it didn't. Strong orange juice flavor. Used less ham because I'm not a big meat person. Could cut out the ham entirely and it would be a delicious vegetarian dish.

Pretzel Fruit Pizza

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2007

Wonderful crust. So nice to have an alternative to the typical sugar cookie. The topping was easy to make and delicious. The only negative was the time it took to crush the pretzels. I will have to try the food processor next time although that may make the crumbs too fine. I liked having some crunch. This recipe is a keeper!

Pumpkin Turkey Chili

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2007

Delicious! The pumpkin gives a sweet flavor. Turned out nice and thick and just the right amount of flavor. I did throw in a little curry powder.

Ginger Pear Crisp

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2007

Delicious! The gingersnaps I used gave plenty of spicy flavor so I will use less clove and ground ginger next time. Nutmeg sounds like a good addition. I will use both nuts and oatmeal next time in the topping. Pears and gingersnaps... great combination. Baked up well, no extra juice for me.

Frosty Strawberry Pie

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2006

Excellent summer dessert! I took the suggestion of decreasing the hot water so it set well and in good time. You can exchange the strawberries for mandarin oranges and use orange geletin for a nice change.

Orange Oatmeal Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2005

Delicious! I love the flavor - not too strong and the texture - chewy and moist. I had no problems with the muffins falling or being soft. I used rolled oats, maybe it is an issue when you use instant oats. Will be making these again soon!
