Beth's Orange Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2009
WOW! Thanks for another excellent recipe Beth! For years I have been trying to find an orange cookie recipe that was like my ex's grandmothers' and this one is WAY better! I love icing, so I followed the suggestions of some of the prior reviewers and doubled the icing. MISTAKE! There was more than enough icing just as was written. I should know better than to try and "improve" one of Mrs. Sigg's recipes!

Mint Chocolate Cookie Crunch

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009
What a great idea! The texture and flavor combination do remind me of thin mints. I followed the advice of prior reviewers and used 2 tsp of the peppermint extract. I also used double stuffed Oreos which melted a little in the hot chocolate. YUMMY! I am going to bring them to our holiday office party tomorrow!

Easy OREO Truffles

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009
Very easy to make! I had a lot of luck with the two forks idea. Also, 9 cookies for the top was way too much. I probably could have gotten away with 5 cookies for 48 truffles. I only wish they were a little sweeter. Maybe next time I will use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet.

Broccoli and Sausage Cavatelli

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009
I omitted the olive oil, used fresh broccoli instead of frozen, and added 1/2 cup white wine and 1 chopped yellow onion to the sauteing garlic.

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009
I followed the advice of previous reviewers and omitted the salt. I also used white pepper and added about 4 cloves of chopped garlic. DELISH!

Simple Baked Apples

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2009
I didn't have walnuts or raisins and forgot (whoops!) to add the milk. After baking the apples for 45 minutes they still seemed firm to me, so I stirred them and put them back in for 5 minutes. I repeated that two more times and they were finally soft enough. These were awesome! So mildly sweet and perfectly tender. To those out there who found the sauce to be too rich I would suggest "forgetting" the milk. =)

Winter Minestra

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2009
I only used one can of beef broth and added a lot of garlic salt and about 1 tsp of Italian seasoning. I also omitted the bag of frozen veggies but took the advice of a prior reviewer and added about 1 c. of red wine. My husband loved it! Topped with aged parmesean and served with fresh beer bread!

Original Recipe French Toast

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2009
I couldn't find King's brand bread at our grocery store so I used the Orowheat version. It was still fantastic, but I think it would have been better if we used the King's brand.

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2009
A very good staple for making a healthy breakfast. I subbed 1/2 c. of baking Splenda for 1/2 of the sugar and 1/2 c. of flax seed for 1/2 c. of the flour. I also used sugar free applesauce and lower sugar apple cinnamon oatmeal. I made muffins with the batter instead of the loaf - 19 minutes at 375 degrees. My husband has already eaten two since they came out of the oven 20 minutes ago. I will absolutely be making these again!

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2009
These are awesome! The perfect way to use those bananas that are going bad too fast. UPDATE: To make these a little healthier I subbed 1/3 of the flour for flax seed and 1/2 of the batter sugar for baking splenda. My husband devoured them all the same and didn't notice the difference!

Prego® Sausage-Stuffed Green Peppers

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2009
I made the recipe just as called for and it was pretty good. I think next time I might mix some of the sauce in with the meat before I stuff the peppers because I am a huge tomato sauce lover - and I think it would help to tie the flavors of the dish together better. Overall a good recipe - my husband loved it. I served it with fresh garlic bread.

Chicken in a Pot

Reviewed: Aug. 2, 2009
I doubled the sauce and added fresh chopped basil right before I served it. Next time I might omit the breadcrumbs and substitute regular salt and pepper to help better flavor the chicken.

Grilled Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2009
I made this recipe exactly as it called for and it was great! Next time I think I will try some chocolate chips sprinkled in. It seems like this would be a good thing to eat if you were sick...=) UPDATE: Try drizzling 1 tbso of honey onto this as well. It takes the flavor to another level. =)

Red Velvet Cake III

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2009
I had never made red velvet before, but it is tradition for his mom to make him one on his birthday. So this year I made it using this recipe and it was a total success! I substituted the choclate pudding in the cake and upped the cocoa as suggested. The only minor disappointment was the frosting. I wish I had listened to other reviewers, so next time I will change it up.
