Becky's Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2009

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

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2009

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

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009

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!

This is my new favorite pound cake recipe! I made it in two loaf pans and cut it up for petite fours.

Deep Dish Brownies

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2008

These were really great. Per other reviewer's suggestions, I only used two eggs and halved the baking powder and added maybe a cup of chocolate chips. I also used a cream cheese and egg combination to swirl over the top to make them marbled cream cheese brownies. These were probably the best brownies I ever tasted!

Lemon Coconut Squares

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2008

These came out great! I like them much better than the lemon squares I usually make which brown too much on top. I will definitely make them again but will add more coconut :-)

Szechwan Shrimp

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2007

So good- tasted just like it was from a Chinese restaurant! I will definitely double it next time as it doesn't make very large servings.

Spinach Chick Pea Curry

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2007

I didn't actually make this- I found the recipe and gave it to my boyfriend to make. He doesn't do a lot of cooking but this came out great!

Molasses Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2007

My mom always makes the best molasses cookies so I was hesitant to make any myself. I decided to give this recipe a try and I'm really glad I did! They came out perfect and chewy and were gone really fast. Putting a piece of bread in with them over night really helped keep them moist.

Florida Seafood Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2007

I never made a seafood casserole before, but this was so easy and tasted so great. I used imitation crab meat and frozen shrimp, and next time I might add some kind of white fish. The only thing I will leave out next time is the water chestnuts- apparently no one in my house likes them!

Boscobel Beach Ginger Cake

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2007

I made this along with a heavy fruit tart for Christmas desert. It was really nice and provided something on the lighter side. I only used about half the fresh ginger after reading the reviews and thought it came out great. I garnished it with powder sugar and whipped cream on the side.

My Best Clam Chowder

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2007

5 stars with some revisions: I'm from Boston and take clam chowder very seriously!! This is a good base but lacks a lot of flavor. First off, I double the canned clams and then add a bottle or two of clam juice instead of water. I add about 1 to 1 1/2 tsp. of thyme with the vegetables (and leave out the carrots). After the cream is thick I double the red vine vinegar and add Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce to taste. This makes it a lot more flavorful in my opinion :)

White Chocolate Fruit Tart

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2007

This recipe is amazing. Its so simple but the tart looks so beautiful and professional. I used a 9" springform cake pan and that worked fine. I wouldn't change a thing, except next time I think I will use some blueberries.
