Blueberry Streusel Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 14, 2009
Delicious! I made this using half blueberries and half rhubarb and 1 cup of sugar instead of 3/4. These muffins are very much like coffee cake and would also be good made with apple pieces (yum!) or black cherries.

Oatmeal Pancakes II

Reviewed: Apr. 25, 2009
These were quite tasty. The texture is different but good. I reduced the oil to only about a tablespoon and added 1/4 cup of applesauce and some cinnamon. I also just used regular milk.

Delicious and super easy to make. My son loves to help (and eat) these muffins! (His secret ingredient is dried cranberries sprinkled on the top.)

Very good cookies! I switched 1/3 of the butter to applesauce and added extra cinnamon, a pinch of allspice and some dried cranberries. Yum!

Very good. I added some cornstarch to thicken as well as some roasted red peppers and two tablespoons of tomato paste. Will do again.

Nana's Apple Crisp

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2008
Yummm!!!! This was really easy and really good on the first try. I used Granny Smiths and did double the crisp mixture to make a pressed bottom "crust"and it turned out wonderfully. This will become a regular dessert item at our house for sure!

The Best Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2008
This recipe came out perfect on the very first try!!! I took one person's advice and baked the meatballs in the oven on a cookie sheet rather than frying in a skillet and they were perfect and didn't break at all! Great advice! I substituted some Lipton's onion soup mix for the onion in the meatballs - gave it great flavour. I also made a few adjustments to the sauce - I reduced the amount of water, and only did 2/3 of the recommended amount of sugar, increased the amount of soy (accidentally doubled), used a combination of balsamic and rice-wine vinegar, and used cornstarch instead of flour. I also added garlic powder and ginger. I'm really happy with the way it turned out - nice and tangy!!!

Roasted and Curried Butternut Squash Soup

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2008
Outstanding recipe. I did make a few small tweaks but for the most part it stands as is. I didn't add the onions because I didn't have any on-hand. And I changed the liquids a bit as I used a small squash, so I used 3 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of light cream. I also added 1 large cooked carrot to the puree. This was simply delicious and I'll definitely make it again!!!

Pork Chops for the Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2008
Very yummy. The meat actually tasted like spare ribs with the sauce. I was actually in a rush and put them in mostly frozen and turned my slow cooker to high for 4 hours. I only did two large, thick-cut chops and they were cooked without a problem. However, next time I'd like to do them on low for 6 hours to see if I can get the meat to tenderize a bit more. All the same, a great recipe that I'll use again.

Zesty Slow Cooker Chicken Barbecue

Reviewed: May 22, 2008
YUMMMM!!!! I received this recipe in my "Daily Dish" e-newsletter yesterday and boy I'm glad I made it. It was very easy and so delicious!!! My husband raved about it and asked when we could have it again! Even my 21 month old son gobbled it up and asked for more. As for changes, I actually didn't have italian dressing on-hand because I usually make my own balsamic dressing, so I used the ingredients from the balsamic dressing instead (balsamic vinegar, olive oil and a touch of mustard). And for the Canadians in the group, I used President's Choice (Loblaws) brand extra spicy barbecue sauce and added a touch of Louisiana hot sauce to give it some kick.

Simple White Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2007
Awesome! Very tasty, moist and fluffy. I did beat the eggs separately before adding to the mix. I also found that I needed to add an extra 15 minutes to the time as I used a shaped cake mould that required double the amount of cake batter. Very very good and simple too. I'll use this from now on.

Cranberry Apple Muffins

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2007
These were really good, even though I did a few substitutions. I omitted the nuts and used dried cranberries instead of fresh/frozen. I also added extra cinnamon, 1 tsp ginger and 1 tsp allspice. Next time I think I'll add extra carrots. However, watch the timing - the recipe says 25 - 30 minutes but after 25 minutes I had a few burnt muffins (luckily not the whole batch). I'd check next time after 20 minutes.
