Great recipe. Used 3 teaspoons (that's 1 Tablespoon) of milk instead of 2, and used vanilla instead of almond extract. Edit: After about 12 hours, the cookies started getting light-colored spots on them. By two days, they were all blotchy. I'll try Royal icing next time instead to see if that's any better.

Eileen's Spicy Gingerbread Men

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009

This is the first time I've ever made gingerbread. I doubled the recipe (except that I tripled the baking powder and kept the baking soda the same). They turned out good, although they did spread a little more than I expected. My husband took them to work, and they were well received. People told him that they were the best gingerbread cookies they had ever had, and they said I should just open my own bakery. :)

Easy Peanut Blossoms

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2009

While I loathe Hershey chocolate, these are one of my husband's favorite cookies. These were easy to make. My batch actually created >30 1-inch cookies. I won't be afraid to push in the kisses a little more next time as they keep falling out now.

The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2009

This recipe is excellent. My air-insulated pan worked best. My regular cookie sheet made these burn a little on the bottom. Oh well. A little imperfection makes them look "homemade" and not like a store-bought cheat! Edit: after a few days, these became kind of tasteless. Like the "freshly-baked" aroma was gone, and there wasn't enough flavor left, like cardboard. :(

Creamy Italian Dressing I

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2009

Delicious! I made this exactly per the recipe, except that I took about 1.5 T of the chopped onion out of the food processor because it looked like a lot.

Cinnamon Apple Syrup

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2009

This was delicious. I made it according to the recipe and I don't think I would change anything. I was a little dubious that it only needed 2T of water, but it worked!

Linguine Pasta with Shrimp and Tomatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2009

Delicious! I made this per the instructions plus the additional instructions made in the comments by the original author (adding cream and basil). The only thing I would do differently is use a lighter cream (I don't know what possessed me to use heavy whipping cream, but I did), and maybe less of it. I think I also simmered it a bit longer to get it to reduce a little more...maybe 45 minutes.

Easy Shake and Bake Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009

I made this as the recipe stated with the addition of maybe 1/2 teaspoon of cajun seasoning. Still found it a little bland. Good base recipe though.

Salisbury Steak

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009

This was great. Neither my husband or I had ever had salisbury steak, but we like it. Made it exactly as the recipe was written, except I added four or five sliced mushrooms with the sauce. Wish there was more sauce but I'm not sure how to increase it without actually doubling it.

Skillet Pork Chops with Potatoes and Onion

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009

Hmm. The sauce was a little too strong and salty. Kind of boring. Might make again with some changes. More vegetables like carrots, mushrooms, etc. and less bullion. More spices. Might thicken the sauce to more of a gravy consistency.

Cajun Chicken Pasta

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2009

Oh, this was good! My two-year-old even asked for more. Next time I will slice and not chop the bell peppers and add a bit more mushroom. I used 1 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup milk, and there was a LOT of sauce. So maybe I will cut that back a little next time. Added fresh basil from the garden. Nice touch.

Green Smoothie

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2009

Midwife is making me consume more greens, so I tried this. Gotta say, can't taste the kale. Yum. Though, the kale was quite chunky. I don't know if that is because my blender sucks or that's just the way it is.

Best Guacamole

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2009

Yum. I did change this recipe up. I excluded the olive oil on the advice of some of the reviewers. I only used one large avacado, as that is all I had on hand (although at this point I wish I had two!). I added a couple of cloves of garlic, minced. I will be omitting the onion next time, or maybe mincing it really well. Or maybe substituting onion powder. And I added about a fourth of a cup of finely chopped cilantro. The cilantro really adds to the guac, but make sure it is as finely chopped as possible.

Fluffy Whole Wheat Biscuits

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2009

These kind of had that overwhelmingly bitter "wheat-y" taste from the whole wheat flour. But as long as they were covered in gravy, you couldn't notice.
