My instincts told me this dish was going to be bland. I should have listened to myself -- or better yet, looked at the second page of reviews...Very bland. I had to add lime to the relish and salt. It looked pretty, tho, but definitely not a keeper for me.

this was pretty basic. i added a poblano, onion and garlic to the meat. i also spread the beans on the bottom of the dish rather than trying to put it over the meat. I wish I would have made rice and put that as a layer in there. I topped it with shredded lettuce, black olives, sc and cilantro

I followed other reader's advice and decreased salt to 1/2 tsp, increased BS to 3/4, used a scan 3 cups of oatmeal. I added cinnamon (1tsp) and a whole bag of chocolate chips. For half the recipe, I added raisins and pecans. Very yummy. however, today, the cookies are a little drier than I would like. I suggest you decrease the baking/cooling time some to your personal preference.

I should have listened to the other reviewers who said it was too sweet! OMG. I could barely get it down. The first few bites were really good and then it went down from there. I added a touch more soy and siracha but that didn't help. I think the plum sauce is really sweet on its own. I've just never heard of using corn syrup in chinese, so I had to try it. I didn't even add the full half cup. Honestly, I don't see how 3/4 tsp of ginger could be too much as some said, but then again, people complain about a recipe being bland when it's got nothing but one ingredient by itself to add flavor?!?!!!! I added red bell, bean sprouts, onion and omitted mushrooms because I didn't have any...

It was bland. I added jap and more soy.

These were cakelike, very tender and very, very sweet. Do not add extra butterscotch to them. One batch I added miniature chocolate chips and that was really good. the recipe was very easy to do and makes 4 sheets, 3 across. i cooked them on convection at 350 for 12 min. and let them sit for 1 as per the recipe instructions.

This was pretty decent. I didn't have any dark beer and used regular and marinated for about 1.5 hours. Probably won't use it again, tho.

IMO this had no flavor at all. If you have small children, they would eat this. I halved the oil and still found it to be too much. 1 onion, diced - must have used too big of an onion. That's all I could taste. I added a bunch of reg. vinegar, a sprinling of chipotle powder and green onion and I still won't make it again. Sorry.

I used 1 lg. yukon, parsnip, carrot, 2 stalks celery and I browned beef and cooked on high for several hours. I only had smoked paprika so I used that. I had no problem with liquid. Flavor was a little lacking, tho, as other raters pointed out. I stole a tip from a french beef stew and stirred in a tbs of Grey Poupon before serving and topped w/jack cheese. I would suggest adding a bit of beef Better than Boullion to it, too.

Yuk. The wine really stood out and there really wasn't that much flavor.

Very tasty. Here are my modifications based on everyone else. 1 can tom. plus 1 8oz sauce onion/garlic/green bell cooked down w/italian seasoning and sea salt- then added sausage Used dried spices v. fresh sprinkled a touch of garlic salt over the top while it simmered. I added the spices after 10 min. of simmering and used the baby seashell pasta Sprinkled w/fresh parmesan (not the out of the green can!) (-:

Interesting but just couldn't get into them. I won't be making them again...

This was a very moist cake. I tried to make a roll out of it and it split after being frosted. I added more pumpkin pie spice than called for. I'm not sure if it was the Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting from this site that I put on it that hid the pumpkin flavor, but the taste just died in your mouth after the first bite. BUT it was a very light dessert and perfect after a huge T-giving dinner

Yummy! And I had no problem piping it. I put it in the fridge for about 10 min...

Make sure you use THICK chops or they will be mushy and tasteless like mine were

Pretty good. I think it needed some chicken. i used Emeril's spice for the seasoning. Used 6 pressed garlic. It was done in 1/2 hr. vs. 40 to 45. If I left it that long, it would have burned. i topped w/a bit of monterrey jack. Serve it w/broccoli or carrots.

Fantastic! I reduced the butter to margarine and cut by half, upped the wine a tad and added a bit more garlic. Yummmy! Served with a leek, broccoli & blackbeans mixed with a little italian seasoning and leftover spaghetti sauce.

This was pretty good. Don't know if it's worth 5 stars w/out modification -- lemon zest with blueberries and cinnamon added to topping. I've never made a "crust" with egg whites. Oh, when I started to make the crust, I accidentally switched salt with sugar! Good thing I decided to taste it -- yikes!

I was shocked after I made these. One person said you could use unsweetened coconut so I did -because it was all I had on hand. Maybe I might try half a recipe with sweetened coconut. Sorry to be a dissenting view but these didn't taste that much like the ranger cookies I've tasted...

the mac, mayo, green pepper and garlic powder, salt and pepper wasn't too bad by itself -- you could add marinated chicken or tuna to it and have a nice lunch. Throw in some fresh peppers for a little punch. Overall, this was just okay.
