Cherry Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2009
Excellent! I used butter because it gave a richer flavour, and because I didn't have cherries, I substituted dried cranberries which gave these cookies an amazing ZING!!

Waistline-Friendly Turkey Chili

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2009
Ground turkey is by far more flavourful then ground beef. However, dried coriander does not come close to freshly chopped coriander and added towards the end, which really intensifies the flavour. Like another reviewer mentioned, if you don't have Chipole barbecue sauce you can always subsitute a few chopped Chipoles. This is a great recipe!

Also by using broad egg noodles,rather than spaghetti you get a better flavour and texture.

Caramel Apple Pork Chops

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2008
This is a great recipe. The second time I made it, after cooking chops, I then sauteed chopped onions in butter with brown sugar and added a couple tbsp of balsamic vinegar for about 20 minutes. Then added chops then apples on top...it was nothing short of amazing. Also added some dried sage/savory/oregano. This was from Gourmet magazine. Devine!

Grandma Augusta's Spaghetti Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 4, 2008
This recipe is good, however, it is better if a mixture of ground veal and pork/Italian sausage were incorporated with the beef. Ground beef/hamburger does NOT impart the same flavour and this mixutre gives the sauce a richer flavour. Rather than dried basil, throw in a handful of fresh basil about 30 minutes before the sauce is finished with fresh garlic and red wine. This I learned while attending an Italian cooking class.

Orange Herb Roasted Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2008
I've made this before and found the results were much better when the softened butter was combined with the herbs and then rubbed under the skin. This way the herb/butter flavour permeated the meat and it was fabulous!!!

Potato Croquettes

Reviewed: May 29, 2008
I used real bacon, made my own bread crumbs from Italian bread, then added chopped green onions (scallions). I also added a pinch of oregano and thyme and that did the trick!!

Oregon Salmon Patties

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2007
This recipe was pretty good. To make the flavour of the salmon stand out, I used some grated lemon rind and added a dash of lemon pepper and oregano. Savory is also a nice touch if you have some.

Classic Lasagna

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2007
Depending on your interpretation of "classic", this is NOT traditional lasange. Best to make your own sauce..with fresh basil added at the end with a cup of red wine and fresh garlic. Also, ground beef lends less flavour than Italian sausage. The rest of the recipe is just OK and best for those who are unable to make a proper sauce.

Cranberry Nut Bread II

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2007
This was great, however, I increased the butter from 1/4 to 1/2 cup and used two eggs. Amazing!!!

Sausage and Cranberry Stuffing

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2007
This recipie is relatively basic but went from good to amazing with day old Italian bread with the chopped onions & celery..then added sage etc. Pre-packaged bread stuffing simply can't beat the real stuff. I also moistened the stuffing with some white wine..you can also use chicken stock or orange juice, then frozen and or fresh cranberries. The Evans sausage is wonderful and a keeper. I also threw in a couple of chopped apples...ahhh wonderful!!!

Poor Man's Caviar

Reviewed: Sep. 17, 2007
Canola oil is relatively tasteless, even mixed with vinegar. Best to make your own vinaigrette with herbs. Bottled dressing is OK..but homemade was what really gave this recipie a 5 star. In addition...a dash of fresh cilantro was amazing!!!

Italian Spaghetti Sauce with Meatballs

Reviewed: Sep. 6, 2007
With an Italian mother, I know good meatballs, and these were rather bland. I suggest that 1/2 veal and 1/2 Italian sausage be substituted. Also, used a cup of fresh parsley chopped with fresh garlic and about 1/2 cup of grated cheese and at least 4 eggs and gently roll. The sauce was OK...I wouldn't call this recipe "Italian".

Sam's Famous Carrot Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2007
Bravo,this is a wonderful recipie...I took a hint from a Gourmet magazine recipie and added grated rind of a lemon. In addition, I made the cream cheese icing with grated lemon rind and lemon juice..this cut the sweetness of the cake and gave it a glorious citrus flavour!!!!!!!!!

White Cheese Chicken Lasagna

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2007
This recipe is BASICALLY good, however, flour/milk do not exactly have much flavour even when combined with chicken broth was rather bland. Similiar to others comments, I suggest additions such as more fresh garlic, more oregano, some chiles (optional) pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and definitely mushrooms!!! I used brocolli rather than spinach and added some frozen peas to the mixture. A neighbour of mine ran out of milk..and used cream of chicken soup...great idea. Topping this with sliced tomatoes sprinkled with pepper really finishes this dish off......lots of room to do your own thing here!!!

OK,OK, I"m not a baker, nor will I ever be..but this is a keeper and a great base recipie. The first time I used shortening...they were good, but the second time I used BUTTER and added dried cranberries and bittersweet chocolate chips, and they were simply OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!
