Rich and Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

Reviewed: May 18, 2009
I added 3/4 cup chopped onions. Next time, I might add some celery to the soup. Thanks for the recipe! I was able to use the basil from my garden!

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2008
I found the sauce too salty, and it tasted rather bland. I won't be making this again.

These were quick to make, good use of vegetables. Wish they had more flavor, though. All in all, a decent recipe.

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2008
Perfect recipe for a party! I have NEVER made a cheesecake before and I was a little nervous about it, but this turned out so perfectly that I recommend it to everyone. I made changes per previous reviews, and I ended up using an 8inch pan. For the crust, I processed whole oreo cookies until medium-coarse granules, and added enough butter (about 2-3 tbsp) until it was moist enough to loosely stick. Did not add any sugar. Packed it along the bottom of the cheesecake tin (but you could also pack it up the sides, if you wanted). Prepared the fiilling - I used less (I was using a smaller tin) - 2 8-oz packages of cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla. Then I heated up the chocolate + half and half in a double boiler (almost looked like condensed milk) and added 2/3 of it to my batter. Poured the batter per the directions (and used store bought raspberry jam that I heated). For baking, I wrapped the bottom well in foil, placed it on a cookie sheet filled with water. I had to bake it for about 1 hr until an inch diameter in the center was left wobbly. (don't open the oven until at near the end of the baking time). Then, I shut off the oven, left the cheesecake sit for another hour. Then I plastic wrapped it, and cooled in the fridge. I removed it about 30 minutes before serving. I served mine with fresh raspberries as garnish. It was awesome! No cracks, rich and smooth consistency, people said it looked professional.

Brie and Mushroom Phyllo Puffs

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2008
I sauted mushrooms in garlic and butter. As others suggested, cut puff pastry into squares and placed in muffin tins. Bottom layer was garlic heb feta cheese, then topped with mushrooms, cooked for about 15 minutes at 400 degrees. The bottom of puff pastry was a little soggy, I will try phyllo dough next time. The feta cheese added a lot of flavor.

Marrakesh Vegetable Curry

very healthy, somewhat bland. Keeps well and good for meals at home, not elegant enough for a dinner party.

Asian Carryout Noodles

Quick and tasty! Totally recommend adding red pepper flakes to this, and chopping up some bok choy to add on (after tossing with noodles).

Orzo and Tomato Salad with Feta Cheese

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2007
I had to cut down on the oil - I mixed everything but the oil, then poured it on as needed. I ended up using very little oil (probably 2-3 tbsp). It tasted really good, I will make this again for sure.

Catherine's Spicy Chicken Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2007
Turned out really well! I followed "Can't cook-can eat"'s review suggestions. I omitted any stock, just added some water, to make it a thicker soup. Very quick meal to prepare, just what I need!

Melt - In - Your - Mouth Shortbread

The cookie tastes just like the name describes. I followed it exactly, came out very well. I prefer the more browned cookie, the lighter colored ones had softer centers.

BBQ Chicken Pizza I

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2007
Yum! Cook this, people! I bought the pillsbury refridgerated pizza dough, precooked it for 8 minutes at 400F. I sauted the chicken with some vegetable oil till cooked. For the sauce, I used 3/4 cup of kraft hickory bbq sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tsp mollasses and 2 tsp honey. I reserved some of the sauce to spread on the pizza crust, and put the rest of the sauce in with the chicken. Topped it with sliced red onions and mozzerella cheese, and cooked till the crust browned (about 15 minutes). Yum!

Jet Swirl Pizza Appetizers

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2007
These are very easy to make, but it cooks very unevenly, with the dough on the outside crunchy and the dough in the bordering on uncooked. As I sliced the roll, I found the center-most slices very difficult to cut because the dough was softer in the center.

Candy Cane Cocoa

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2007
Delicious, made this last night, and was a big hit. I couldn't find candy canes at the store, so instead I bought a york peppermint patty and dinner mints. I highly recoomend adding a york patty, as it really brings a strong peppermint flavor. I found peppermint whipping cream at the store, to my delight, which was a perfect topping. I decorated the cups with andes mint candies broken in half with a few dinner mints. SO delicious, I will make this again.

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2007
What a great cookie! Fresh out of the oven, the cookie was warm, gooey, and chewy on the inside. The next day, the cookie was crispy and still tasted delicious. My friend recommended this recipe and I'm so glad I made it.

Best Zucchini Appetizer

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2006
This recipe is less of an appetizer and more of a dish to serve your family when no company is over. It doesn't look appealing after baking, and I had to add incredible amounts of garlic and spices to make it flavorful. I won't be making this again.
