Very bland unless you add 4 TBS butter, 1/4 cup wine, 4 cloves garlic, 1-2 TBS lemon juice and do NOT put the cheese in as you are making the sauce (I added about 1/4 cup cheese). Toss it with the pasta after or you will have a congealed messy blob. I prefer basil to parsley but both are good.

Caramel Popcorn

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2006

I followed the recipe exactly and it tasted SO GOOD. The only thing I would change is to perhaps add 1 -2 cups nuts before baking. If you are watching salt you could add 1/2 tsp salt and it turns out fine. I definately taste the salt with 1 tsp, but I like the salty sweet flavor. I bake in a large dutch oven lightly coated with PAM.

Caramel Apple Pie II

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2006

After all the reviews of runniness and hard caramels, I was a bit wary but this recipe turned out perfect. I had no problem with either. I did use 7 granny smith apples (overpacked the pie), used half the sugar and sealed very well. I think mixing well and cooking longer helps with the runny problem. I also brushed with milk and sprinkled sugar on top, and cut out a few fall leaves out of extra dough to make it pretty and fall-ish. I think it is too sweet to serve with ice cream - we used a dollop of fresh whipped cream that had barely any sugar added, and a sprinkle of nutmeg on that.

Cranberry Sauce I

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2006

Very good - my only suggestion would be to add a bit of grated orange peel, and to use fresh OJ. I followed other reviewers and placed this in half a hollowed out orange for presentation. Place autumn colored leaves on a plate, place the orange over that. Save a few cranberries to place on the plate too. Looks so pretty!

Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies II

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2006

Very good but do NOT bake the frosting - it bubbled and crystalized and was not near as pretty. Adding the fudge later keeps it glossy and dark looking - sooo much prettier and tastier (make it while cookies cooling)

Bodacious Broccoli Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2006

Very good. I actually liked the full tsp of pepper - what needed to be cut was the vinegar (I only used one TBS) and omitted lemon juice altogether. For a bit of kick, fresh crushed garlic is wonderful but just 1/4 tsp. It packs quite a punch.

Simple Garlic and Basil Pesto

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2006

A good basic recipe - I added some crushed red pepper in place of chili powder. Also i recommend roasting the pine nuts first, and adding a bit of salt. But DO NOT put this in a blender - it will taste like pureed grass. Chop it fine or use a mortar and pestle - it is worth the extra work.

Garlic Red Potatoes

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2006

Really good - but only use 1/2 lemon and lots more parmesan (fresh grated, don't skimp here). I used sea salt and tons of fresh cracked pepper. Even better with fresh herbs like chives or rosemary. One more tip - halve the potatoes and place them flesh side down after tossing to get a lovely browned potato. I add chicken quarters and toss it all together then cook this way. It's killer good. Cook at 400 for 40-45 minutes.

Coconut Shrimp I

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2006

Made this to get rid of a huge bag of coconut I had in my pantry. Great recipe. I added sugar to the batter but won't do that again - it made the batter change and become more brittle. Keep the sweet on the side.

Golden Yam Brownies

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2006

I can't get over how good this tastes. I live in Halifax and could not find a yam to save my life, used sweet potatoes instead. It was still good. Only thing I changed was adding more vanilla.

Szechwan Shrimp

This does not taste authentic. That said, who cares? It tastes great. Add extra garlic and fresh chopped ginger, stir in a few peanuts and fresh green onions at the end.

BLT Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 13, 2006

This is an awesome tasting recipe but the fat content is terrible. Use Hellman's low fat mayo (1/2 cup instead of 3/4) and mix in some low fat sour cream and a bit more milk (adjust to desired thickness) as well for a fresher, healthier taste. Use less bacon and substitute chicken breast.

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

Reviewed: May 23, 2006

I did not care for the flavor or consistency at all. It tasted like a box mix, and it was too thick. Almost had a grainy flavor. Not the airy, fluffy buttery flavor of a pancake I am used to. If you must use this recipe, I recommend you cut back on the baking powder and salt, and use more milk and sugar. Blueberries did help to improve the flavor - but why settle? Much better recipes out there.
