Banana Oat Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2009
These were excellent! I substituted brown sugar for the sugar, applesauce for the oil, and I used 2 egg whites. I used one ripe banana plus 2 frozen bananas that I defrosted enough to mash. Delish!!

Squash-Apple Bake

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2009
We loved this! I tried half the recipe with oil and half with applesauce, and they were both delicious. I'd stick with the applesauce next time to keep it lower in fat. Thanks for the great recipe!

Delicious Black Bean Burritos

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009
We really enjoyed this recipe. I skipped the jalapeno, but my husband added some salsa to his. It made 5 small 7-inch burritos. Next time, I'll add some rice to bulk up the filling.

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009
We didn't like this soup, though I only used about 2 Tbsp butter. I'll keep on looking.

Butternut Squash Bisque

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009
I used olive oil instead of the oil and butter, and I omitted the cream. Quick and easy recipe, and we loved it!

Blake's Best Steak

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009
This recipe wasn't my favorite, though I did make it in the oven rather than on a grill, and I used dried rosemary. I might try it again with fresh rosemary.

Crustless Spinach Quiche

Reviewed: Sep. 23, 2009
Great quiche recipe! I used 4 egg whites and 3 whole eggs, next time I'll try 6 egg whites and 2 whole eggs. I used almost the whole 3 cups of cheese. Thanks!

Broccoli-Stuffed Sole

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2009
This was a nice idea, different from the typical fish I usually make. I added some garlic to the rice. Next time, I would take JD123's advice and make more of the sauce part.

Oil Pie Crust

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2009
I use this recipe all the time, for all different kinds of pies, from chicken pot pie to fruit pies. I use soy milk to keep it non-dairy, and when I'm making a fruit pie, I like to add in 1-2 Tablespoons or so of sugar to sweeten it up. Thanks a ton, Donna!

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2009
These were really tasty, and very moist, but I think that they were missing a little something that I can't put my finger on. I doubled the recipe, added some lemon juice (to make it buttermilky) and I used soy milk to keep it non-dairy. I used Chef Joy's topping, but substituted smart balance for the butter and vanilla sugar for the cinnamon (I'm allergic).

We really enjoyed these! I did add black beans, and we liked this addition. I made it in my quesadilla maker, and they were very tasty!

Wonderful Short Ribs

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2009
This was very tasty! I browned the meat first and then sauteed the onion in the drippings as per another reviewer. I then added the rest of ingredients as the recipe stated. It definitely went well with rotini and some veggies steamed with garlic and onion spices. (I used a 1 1/2 pound package of meat, so I adjusted the recipe as follows: 16 oz tomato sauce, 2 T lemon juice, 3 t Worcestershire, 1 T parsley, 3/4 t thyme, 2 bay leaves, 1 1/2 T brown sugar, 3/4 t salt, and a couple shakes of red pepper flakes)

Apple Banana Cupcakes

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2009
They were pretty good muffins. I substituted applesauce for the shortening, chopped the apples instead of shredding them, and I only had one banana, so I threw in a few handfuls of blueberries. I also skipped the buttermilk. I would try this again, but with 1 more banana and maybe some soymilk to keep in the moistness of the muffins. Thanks Barbara!

Chewy Peanut Butter Brownies

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2009
These were really tasty, but more of a cake than a brownie. I substituted smart balance for the margarine (health reasons), and I added about 1/3 C chocolate chips to the batter. It took way more than 30 minutes to bake (maybe because of the smart balance?). When it was done, I sprinkled some more chocolate chips on the top, put it back in the oven for 1 minute, and then spread the chocolate chips to make a chocolate glaze on top. The chocolate on top was great!

Easy Broccoli Quiche

Reviewed: May 31, 2009
This recipe was very tasty! I used olive oil instead of the butter in the first step and omitted the butter completely in step 3. I used 1 small onion and frozen broccoli, which I parbroiled and drained on paper towels to get the liquid out. I used 1 cup of milk and 3 eggs, and also patted some mozzarella on the bottom of the crust to prevent the crust from getting soggy. I combined the rest of the cheese (mostly mozzarella, but I substituted about 1/4 C cheddar- I think it really benefited from the bit of cheddar) with the eggs and milk. It overflowed in my oven, making a huge mess, so next time I would leave some ingredients out and make a smaller one in addition, but it was still really delicious!

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: May 22, 2009
This is the best banana muffin recipe I have come across. We loved it! I used applesauce instead of the melted butter and I used smart beat for the crumb topping (1/2 Tablespoon). I substituted vanilla sugar for the cinnamon on the topping (due to allergies). Next time, I would cut back a bit on the sugar, but these were awesome!

Half and Halfs

Reviewed: May 9, 2009
These were really tasty and I love the concept. I substituted smart balance instead of the margarine and added 1/4 C extra flour to the white mixture to make the batters the same consistency as per another review, and I let the batter sit in the fridge for 15 minutes before using it to let it firm up a bit. The cookies spread a decent amount while baking. Also, many of them broke apart when I stored them in a plastic bag, so be sure to store them in a tupperware, I think it was because of the smart balance. Also, I served them dipped in a glass filled with half peanut butter mousse and half "easy chocolate mousse" (from this site). The presentation was really nice.

Extreme Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: May 7, 2009
I made this cake for my daughter's birthday, and it turned out perfect. I used half oil (1/4 C) and half applesauce (1/4 C), and used soy milk instead of the milk to keep it non-dairy. Instead of the frosting, I whipped up a container of whipping cream and added a few drops of red food coloring to make pink frosting. I only made 2 layers, but it was perfect.
