Becky's Chicken Salad
This was great! The only thing I did differently was to halve the mayo and this was still plenty. I also omitted the almonds for the picky eaters :)

Condensed Milk Chocolate Frosting
This recipe tastes great, but like some other reviewers, I had problems with the consistency and set up. I ended up making the following revisions: I doubled the chocolate and used 72% cacao baking chocolate. I mixed in about a tablespoon of corn starch with the chocolate and condensed milk. I left out the water altogether. The result was a slightly thicker frosting which spread on the cake better. I refrigerated the cake after I frosted it. I would still say this is more of an icing, but its easily the most delicious one I have had in a while!

Imitation Meatloaf
This is great! I've already made it twice. The first time I followed the recipe to a T and it was pretty good, just a little bland. The next time I was out of eggs, so I substituted a can of condensed tomato soup and left out the tomatoes. I also doubled all of the seasoning ingredients and made a ketchup and brown sugar glaze for the top- it was moist and very flavorful. My non-vegetarian boyfriend loved it!
