I love this drink! It looks pretty in the pitcher, it tastes wonderful, and it's fun to serve! I used Tortuga spiced rum and Barefoot Merlot (they support Surfrider Foundation!). This was pretty strong- much better for a night at home than taking somewhere and driving afterwards. Today I only let the fruit soak in the rum for about 3 hours, but next time I will let it soak overnight to get a stronger effect.

Wave Your Flag Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 4, 2009

This is a simple, light, delicious cake. It is perfect for a hot Fourth of July party! I made it last year and I am making it again this year because everyone loved it. People said it tasted fresh and summer-y, not overly sugary and weighed down like a regular cake would taste.

Beer Pancakes

Reviewed: May 27, 2009

I am from Wisconsin and have been eating pancakes my entire life. This recipe blows all those other pancakes away! I used Coors Light because it was in the fridge, and some real Wisconsin maple syrup. So light, so delicious! I will never make "sober" pancakes again!

Asian Lettuce Wraps

Reviewed: May 27, 2009

This was SO amazing! I followed the recipe exactly. For asian chili paste I used Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce. It went great with mini-pizzas, Kendall-Jackson Meritage, and a Lakers game!

Pork, Broccoli and Rice Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2009

This recipe was great! I'm lactose intolerant, so I used coconut milk instead of a cream soup. Fresh broccoli gave a great crunch. I added lots of curry and fresh ground black pepper. This was perfect for leftover pork loin, and was easy to make on a busy day! Definite repeat!

Oatmeal Pancake

Reviewed: Jul. 26, 2005

I found this recipe because I was looking for a way to use up oatmeal. I used tofu because I'm lactose intolerant, mixed by hand, and used whole eggs instead of whites because I hate to waste the yellows. My first batch had two eggs and that made it very egg-y, like French Toast gone bad. My second batch had one egg and that made it very heavy because they were so thick. I think next time I will add some soymilk. The taste is very nutty and rich, which I really liked. This could pass for a fancy B&B breakfast with fresh fruit toppings.

Salmon Cakes I

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2005

Very little flavor with the original recipe. Tasty only in the sense that fried things are tasty.

Quick and Easy Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 16, 2005

The sauce will NOT cover the chicken unless you double the recipe. Several people have metioned this and really, it's important! I customizd the recipe to one serving and as expected, it took less time to cook as well. The onions carmelized...tasty!

Peanut Butter Noodles

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2005

It's just peanut butter and noodles, but the ginger and honey make it impressive. I served this for a co-worker and she said it was great, but would have added more spice to it. I thought it was fine, though!

Sugar Cookie Drops

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2005

Smooth and rich. It impressed my new boss. GREAT RECIPE! Edited to add: 8 months later, as I'm leaving my job, my co-workers mentioned these cookies as one of the memories of my year with them. They are THAT good!

Basic Crepes

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2005

Very easy to make, delicious! I used soymilk and margarine, and put sliced strawberries and powdered sugar on top. I also used this recipe to teach 40 Japanese high school seniors how to make crepes. The students loved it and their crepes turned out great! I changed my rating to 5 stars because this crepe recipe really is "the Best!".

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2005

I made these in a toaster oven, watching through the window to see when they looked "done". The first batch I made by dropped teaspoonful, and they didn't get cooked through all the way, so for the next batch I pressed each cookie down with a fork, which worked much better. These cookies got crunchy extremely fast. Good for a quick snack, maybe not for company.
