Chicken Tortilla Soup V
I give it 5 stars based on the alterations I made. Foudn it really odd this had no beans or rice so I naturally added those. Added about a half cup of black beans and a cup of white rice. I added lime instead of lemon as lemon made no sense. Made this totally vegetarian using Quorn brand fake chicken which is the absolute best faux chicken u can buy. Used Whole Foods veg chicken broth powder w/ tastes exactly like chicken. I added soem smoked jack cheese shavings to the broth and a couple handfulls of lite mexican cheese blend from Trader Joe's. I doubled the entire recipe cuz as is it's just enough for 2 people. When I make soup my purpose is for left overs and this is enough for 6 people how I made it. Definitely will make again!

Banana Chip Muffins I
I used buttersctoch chips instead though banana chip would work great as well. Used half and half of brown sugar and pure cane. To me anything w/ banana just is not right w/ out the taste of brown sugar. Used Energy Egg replace instead of eggs as well which works just as good if not better than eggs. Sweet but not too much and perfect texture.

Moist and Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies
More like 3 1/2 stars as I had to make a decent amount of adjustments. For one this recipe used far too little peanut butter! I used the called for amount and tasted the batter and barely tasted the PB. I ended up having to add 2 cups worth for a real peanuty flavor. I added 1/4 cup cane sugar and 1 cup brown. I use energy egg re-placer instead of egg as I never see it necessary to make s baked good dairy if it doesn't need to be. I skipped the butter as it's unnecessary since the peanut oil subs for the purpose of the butter and I used about 1 cup of water. I added peanut butter chips too. Didn't bother cooling the batter as it was clear it was the perfect consistency so don't waste your time fridging overnight! Who wants to wait for that?! As always I baked one cookie to make sure it was the right texture. These need to be formed (what I call holding hand cookies) as you cannot just roll the batter into a ball and place on the sheet & expect them to mold themselves in the shape of a cookie. You must roll the batter in a pretty large golf ball sized ball and then flatten. About 5 min into the baking process I make fork indents in the centers. I also made some w/ chocolate chips. Came out moist (help of the water) semi0chewy and not dry at all. Will make again based on my adjustments.
