Easy Pie Crust

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2009

I made this crust for a quiche, I added a little less oil and the crust cracked just a little (my own fault), but other than that it's very tasty. And I used whole wheat flour.

These are wondeful. I used applesauce instead of oil as per other reviewers' suggestion. I had accidentally picked up "sweetened" applesauce so I cut back the sugar to 1 and 1/4 cups and used whole wheat flour instead of white flour. I added half a cup of chocolate chips to the batter, and made the frosting exactly as directed. These were fantastic and I feel great knowing they're not doing quite the amount of damage as full fat, zucchini-free ones. As a chocoholic, I LOVE this frosting, I'll remember it for other recipes as well.

All-Around Good Smoothie

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2009

This smoothie is delicious and very versatile. You can use any fruit, although I tend to always put the 1/2 banana in it for fibre. I also omit the honey and add a teaspoon of green matcha tea (powdered green tea), as well as a bit of fruit juice when it comes out really thick. Fantastic! Note: be sure to finely grind the flaxseeds in a coffee grinder beforehand.

I would be really interested in making this... does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make the pastry come out softer?

Minty Orzo Lentil and Feta Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2008

This is flippin' amazing! I even accidentally threw in some red wine (the bottle was sitting right where the balsamic vinegar usually sits!), and this is still great! I omitted olives and added cucumber as per my own tastes, used quinoa per other review and used balsamic vinegar since I don't have red wine vinegar. Also no fresh dill or mint, used dried. SO GOOD!

Oatmeal Waffles

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2008

No applesauce? No problem! Just use frozen (defrosted) bananas instead! Add extra for the tasty banana flavour.

Curried Carrot Soup

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2008

I made this recipe, only instead of curry I added ginger as per another reviewer's suggestion. I added a little extra ginger than the recipe called for for curry powder. Delicious!

Sweet Potato Gnocchi

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2008

This recipe was SO OH good! I did make a few changes as per my own taste. First, I used whole wheat flour. Second, I ommitted the nutmeg, as I didn't have any. Lastly, I steamed some baby spinach, cut it up and added that to the dough. I put the dough through a ziplock bag with a corner cut off and squeezed it into the pot, cutting every inch or so. Also, I microwaved the sweet potato per another reviewer's suggestion. It cut the cook time down to about 8 mins per sweet potato. This recipe is great and easy to customize. Wonderful recipe!

Banana Chocolate Chip Softies

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2005

This tastes amazing if you add a package of fat-free instant vanilla pudding with the dry ingredients. The pudding really brings out the banana flavour. I give it one star without the pudding, 5 stars with it!
