Molasses Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2009

10 minutes is perfect timing. I will make again but double the amount of ginger. Nice and chewy.

If there were half stars I would have rated 3 1/2. My family said it was "fine" but nothing outstanding. They liked the pastry - which was homemade. There seemed to been a seasoning or herb missing to give it oomph. I sauteed the leeks, fresh garlic and a shallot in a bit of oil, just until wilted. Im glad I did that as I cant imagine the texture or taste without having done so.

Beef Nacho Casserole

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2009

1 tsp of chili powder is not enough seasoning. I added extra cumin, chili powder, paprika and pepper. I used half mayo / sour cream. I couldnt taste either so dont be afraid to use mayo! Loved the corn in it too. We had whole grain nacho chips. They have loads of flavour too. This is a good family size casserole.

Warm Maple, Ham and Apple Coffeecake

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2009

We didnt care for this. I had high hopes as it sounded like something great for brunch. Too many flavours going on. I wont waste my time making it again.

Roast Sticky Chicken-Rotisserie Style

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2009

The skin on my chicken was not sticky or crispy. That's the best part and I was disappointed. Maybe it should be a shallow pan? I used a roasting pan uncovered. It is pretty much the same rub I use for my chicken wings. Taste was good.

Roasted Cajun Potatoes

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2009

I will surely make these again when shallots are ready in my garden. I used just a couple of shakes of the cayenne and they had lots of heat. 1/2 tsp would be too much in my opinion. I also added a pinch of thyme. Very tasty.

BBQ Chicken Calzones

Reviewed: May 12, 2009

I made this as a pizza, rather than individual calzones. I used homemade pizza dough and bbq sauce. Will make it again. A unique taste that my family really liked.

French Baguettes

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2009

We really liked the chewy goodness of this bread. Mine took a while longer to rise than listed, but I had the time. Turned out a lovely golden colour with the egg wash.

Sweet Potato, Carrot, Apple, and Red Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2009

A keeper! This was better than expected. I used olive oil instead of butter, chicken broth instead of veg. broth and cream instead of yogurt. Great for a middle eastern or indian dinner party. Will surely make it again.

Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Herb Sauce

Reviewed: Mar. 11, 2009

Although I followed previous reviewers suggestions of adding onion and garlic the recipe still lacked in taste. I ended up adding a tablespoon of dijon mustard to the sauce.

Lemon Coconut Squares

Reviewed: Feb. 22, 2009

Followed the recipe exactly. I love lemon bars and these have an especially good crust. They held together so that you could pick them up and they didnt fall apart.

Mahogany Chicken Wings

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2009

I loved the sweet taste. Simple ingredients make for tasty wings. I used asian chili sauce instead of a north-american variety.

Chicken Alfredo Pizza

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2009

As is it I would rate 3.5 stars. I added cooked crumbled bacon, chopped broccoli and sauteed red onion, then toppped it all with mozzeralla. My family loved the change from our normal pizza. I always make my own pizza dough from scratch, so it was the intersting topping that got them going. Four stars after the changes.

We liked this recipe alot. While simmering I added 3TBSP tomato paste. I used chicken stock instead of vegetabel and added a pinch of dried basil. I also pureed the mixture, added 1 cup of cream. Will make it again for sure.

Beef Samosas

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2009

Too much work for the end result. I made the dough as listed by one reviewer. When I fried them , the edges opened up. I also did the phyllo in the oven as there is alot of filling - and it was OK. Filling was tasty, but too fussy putting it all together.

Lemon Graham Squares

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2008

Great lemony taste. Not so great for eye appeal. If I saw them on a treat tray I probably wouldnt pick them, but taste makes up for it! Cut graham cracker amount by at least 1/2 cup. Too much is called for in this recipe.
