Glazed Apple Cookies

Reviewed: Sep. 23, 2007
Mmmm! Moist and delicious; the frosting was a perfect finish. I had some kitchen problems which led to a few changes... I realized midway that our refrigerator was broken, and the eggs had probably gone bad, so I used 2 Tbsp. soy flour and 1/4 cup water instead - weird, but the cookies ended up delicious so I guess it worked :) I also used butter and pecans, and I baked these as bars in a jelly roll pan for about 30 minutes. I bet the original recipe would make great cookies too - I will try it again when things are less crazy in the kitchen. Thank you!

Bran Muffins a la Brian

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2007
Yum! Sweet, very tender, and delicious. I used nectarine sauce for more of the oil (random, I know), but that tasted really good! I also went generous on the raisins. Keeper! Thanks.

Winter Energy Cookies

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2007
Oh man... these are fantastic! I'll keep making them just because they're delicious, never mind healthy :) I subbed applesauce for half the butter like folks said, and the PB as well (I don't like it). Two other changes - I used equal parts 7 grain mix, wheat bran, and white flour - just because it was all I had, but yum! Also added cranberries and almonds, and I think that really worked... Oh, these are so good! I'm going to try making these again with different kinds of grain - maybe buckwheat? Thanks so much!

Millet Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2007
Yum! I AM guilty of changes - half applesauce for the oil, ground oatmeal and seven grains for the millet and part of the flour, and I also added walnuts, raisins, and cranberries. But - excellent whole-grain taste and very moist, tender, and just a little bit of chew; a great base. I'll definitely make again! Thanks :)

Caramel Shortbread Squares

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2007
Very tasty - pretty much like a twix bar. I cooked the caramel according to the water test, not these instructions, so I can't vouch for them. Extremely important: cut at room temperature! The chocolate just cracks off if you try to cut them from the fridge. Thank you!

Grain and Nut Whole Wheat Pancakes

Reviewed: Jun. 30, 2007
Wow! Sooo good - I'm just making up a second batch now because my family ate out the freezer stash. They were a little sweet for my tastes - I drop down to 3 Tbsp sugar. Thank you so much! I'm sure this will be a staple with us :)

Banana Pancakes I

Reviewed: Jun. 30, 2007
Holy monkey! These were outstanding... cooked up big and delicious and fat! I used very ripe bananas, which I hear is important - it sure seemed to come across here. Oh, also - they're not particularly sweet on their own. It makes them perfect with syrup, but if you have other plans you might want to adjust the sugar. Thanks so much!

Golden Potato Soup

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2007
Yum - delish! I added some thyme and basil, and held the cheese out to add individually. I also added some water because I like thinner. But that's all just personal preference - great recipe! Thanks :)

Chicken Jambalaya I

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2007
Yummy! Also easy. You can tell that this isn't the all-stops-out traditional jambalaya, but it doesn't matter because this is GOOD! And easy enough for regular dinners. Thanks!

Butter Rich Spritz Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2007
Perfect! I've been searching for a fabulous spritz recipe for a while, and this is the one. If you use salted butter, I recommend halving the salt. I also like to cook them a bit longer, until the tops just brown - best flavor that way, I think. Thanks!

Scalloped Potatoes and Onions

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2007
Creamy deliciousness... wow, yum! I cooked the onions with the garlic and then made the roux around them - worked great, and I think it helps to take out the raw onion flavor. Oh, I also used beef broth, went easy on the salt (glad I did!), and added a little rosemary and red pepper flakes. Yum, I'll stick to this!

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2007
Whoa - this is really good. Not greasy, not too dense; it cuts perfectly. I know it's gilding the lily, but it's fabulous with peach jam.

Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookie

Reviewed: Feb. 22, 2007
It was good, but I don't think I'll make it again - I think cinnamon was really at the fore instead of the three chocolates. Not that cinnamon and chocolate are a bad combination - but it's very strong.

White Chocolate Orange Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2007
Hoooweee! Yum. What a good use of white chocolate. Underbake them a little - they'll stay chewy at delectable that way. Great flavor!

Apple Pie Muffins

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2007
Yum! I've made these both with and without the streusel (sprinkled sugar on top of the bare ones) and it was delicious both ways. Also, one time I went a little overboard on the apples and it was more like 3 cups, and that was pleasant.... although they're excellent just as is. Thank you!

One Bowl Brownies

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2007
I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this - maybe it's because I used unsalted butter - but these tasted flat to me! Otherwise very good; next time (there will be a next time) I'll add a tsp. of salt.

Delicious Raspberry Oatmeal Cookie Bars

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2006
You can sub the oatmeal out with ground almonds, too - yum! Good, solid recipe. Oh, and I find slicing when they've just come out of the oven works best - that way nothing's got all sticky or brittle yet.

Chocolate Crinkles IV

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2006
I think the people who rated these poorly must be doing something wrong. I've used this recipe for years (without the chocolate chips - it's the Betty Crocker one) and they are fantastic! There are two important steps to getting these to turn out right - first, you have to chill them thoroughly - either the four hours in the fridge or one or two in the freezer - or they'll turn out flat. Baking time is super important and took years for me to get down! They should be still squishy but not glossy - they'll firm up to be chewy on the inside with a crispy shell.

Triple the Ginger Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2006
They're very, very chewy, even in the desert - maybe from the raw ginger? I'd recommend baking them until the tops are brown, too (they'll still be chewy), and waiting a bit before eating them - they only get better. Thanks for the recipe!

Chocolate Chip Peppermint Cookies

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2006
My household's favorite! I usually double up on the peppermint and vanilla. Oh, and drizzle them with a thin decorator's icing, and personally I think that really makes the cookie. So good! Definitely worth buying the peppermint extract :)
