Authentic Thai Coconut Soup
Great recipe...as good as my local Thai restaurant and my husband says better! I would make some changes next time around though! I used half shrimp, half scallops. Also used giner root. Could not find the lime leaves, will try lime zest next time instead. I used a half pound of mushrooms as they are very expensive, and that was plenty! I would cut the brown sugar in half, this is a little too sweet. I used yellow curry, but bet the red or cayenne pepper would be much better. Also, in an attempt to duplicate my favorite dish at Fire Bowl Cafe (the Thai Seafood Tom Kah Soup/noodle bowl), I made some other changes! I added about 4 oz. vermicelli noodles already cooked along with the seafood. It was really good, the noodles really absorbed the flavor! Also, I don't think Fire Bowl uses curry, but instead uses some kind of red chili sauce, may try that next time, or perhaps the red curry or cayenne would be closer in flavor. They also use cilantro. This is delicious and one of the ultimate comfort foods!!

Six Can Chicken Tortilla Soup
Very easy, tastes good! I made the recipe as written with the following additions! 1 tsp. cumin, one clove minced garlic, 1/8 tsp. chili powder, dry cilantro (fresh would be better, but didn't have it on hand). I also cooked it in a slow cooker on low for 6 hours to allow all the flavors to blend! And, I topped it with Monterey Jack cheese instead of cheddar since this is what the restaurants usually do. Great easy recipe!!

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
5 stars for "easy"! 4 stars for flavor!! Kids loved them and enjoyed helping to make them. I made the recipe as written, except used 1/2 white, 1/2 brown sugar. Very good! I will try a total of 3/4 cup sugar next time. Thanks for a great, easy cookie recipe!!
