Well it doesn't get much easier than this! I used crushed pineapple and ketchup as substitutions, and added a dash of soy sauce. Great results. Too sweet for me, so will adjust next time. Also - the recipe is huge! Will likely cut recipe in half next time. Will try freezing in the meantime and see how well it holds up.

Cherry Tomato Corn Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 13, 2009

Colourful and delicious! Used canned corn, and it was fine. Thanks for a quick and easy recipe.

Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2009

Not bad, but far too sweet (even though I cut back on the sugar). I made a double batch and frosted a double-layer lemon cake.

Quick and Easy Alfredo Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2008

I guess I'm in the minority, but we did not like this at all. The only change I made was to use fresh garlic instead of powdered. Not good - won't be making it again.

The Best Banana Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2008

I quickly skimmed through a few other reviews and made a few changes: I made a double batch, used 1/2c butter and 1/2c applesauce, used 1c brown sugar and 1/2c white sugar, used 2c flour and 2c oats, used ~2c bananas and ~1c zucchini (I was short on bananas), also added a splash of vanilla, some salt, and some cinamon. Also added a handful of sliced almonds and a handful of walnuts. Baked in rectangular pan for 45mins. Tasty and great texture! Only complaint is that it is still a little too sweet for me -- will cut back on sugar even more next time.

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2008

This was fine -- but not any more spectacular than other banana recipes I've tried.

Bran Flax Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2008

Not bad. I did find them a little sweet and a little dry. But I will make them again (with slight adjustments).

Sauerkraut Soup I

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2008

I'm surprised, but I did find this too tart. I will rinse the kraut next time and likely also add a bit of plain green cabbage to mellow it out. I also found that I was missing a bit of a smokey flavour. I would consider adding some bacon or something similar.

Fiesta Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2008

Really quite delicious! I used brown rice, a little less mayo, and added two green onions instead of one (-we like green onion). I didn't have green chilies, so I used half of a 4oz can of jalapenos instead. Also quite good as left overs without the tomato and avocado (and would also likely be tasty with a bit of chopped red pepper, slivered almonds, or cilantro.) Will definitely make again - thanks!

Chocolate Cornstarch Pudding

Reviewed: May 2, 2008

Delicious! (I will try cutting back on the sugar next time. I do typically find all sweet recipes just a tad too sweet.)

Skillet Sole

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2008

Very tasty! I substituded watered-down pasta sauce for the tomato juice and omitted the oregano.

Tomato-Topped Cod

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2008

The cod was moist and done perfectly after about 25 minutes. However, the fish itself was quite bland, and the onions still had a very raw taste to them. Next time I would season the fish itself a bit more and would sautee the onions prior to topping the fish.

Zucchini Cake III

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2008

Yum. I halved the recipe and baked in a smaller, rectangular pan (~6x11") for 50 minutes. I replaced half the oil with apple sauce, and did not bother with the glaze. I'm eating the cake right now (not paying much attention to the "let cool" instruction), and finding it a little sweet. I will cut the sugar to 3/4 cup. Otherwise, it's moist and delicious! (Update: half the recipe makes 12 medium muffins. Bake for 25 mins.)

Bagels I

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2007

I'm torn about this recipe. It started out as a disaster and turned out to be really great bagels. I used a mixer, and lost track of how much flour I ended up using (-more than the recipe - trying to salvage the big gooey mess). They turned out to be quite a bit of work, but the results were quite delicious (almost a bagel with a croissant character). (And yes - I agree with some of the others to cut back on the salt (particularly in the water).)

Paprika Chicken with Mushrooms

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2007

Just OK. Flavour was pretty good, but chicken was very dry (a shame - considering the amount of butter!) I might revamp this recipe a bit, cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time, adding more vegetables (zucchini perhaps?), and incorporating into a pasta dish.

Health Nut Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2007

Great muffins. I didn't have any oatbran, so I doubled the oats. I also substituted ground flaxseed for the wheat germ. I used brown sugar instead of regular sugar, and would have used ww flour instead of white flour if I hadn't run out of that too! I would suggest that if you can't eat all of these within a couple days, you freeze them. They did go slimy and moldy after about 4 days (-this, in my opinion, is actually a good thing. Unprocessed/un-preserved food shouldn't last indefinitely!)

Playgroup Granola Bars

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2007

Pretty good - though more of a cross between a granola bar and an oatmeal raisin cookie. I didn't have any wheat germ, so I used ground flax seed instead. I cut back on the brown sugar to 1/2 cup, but still found these a little too sweet so will cut back even more the next time. I think walnuts will make a nice addition for the next batch. (Also - these were done baking at about 21-22 mins.)

Home-Style Scalloped Potatoes

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2007

These were pretty good. Nothing spectacular, but it did the trick (and didn't require any fancy ingredients). Could have used a little more salt. I also found that I baked this closer to 90 minutes. For a dash more flavour, I sprinkled some parmesan cheese on each layer.

Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Herb Sauce

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2005

This dish looked very pretty, but I have to agree with some of the other reviews in that it was quite bland. I would not go out of my way to make this again.
