So far so good! I'll see how they are tomorrow.

So good! I doubled the vanilla because we buy imitation. Next time hopefully we'll get the real stuff; if not, I'll use clear because this batch came out a little golden. I might leave out the sugar next time too! Nothing beats homemade whipped cream. Nothing.

Chocolate Cornstarch Pudding

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2008

I followed PLAYKITTENPIE's alterations (use brown sugar, up the cocoa to 3 heaping tbsp, decrease cornstarch to a little over 2 tbsp). I think next time I'll use a little less cocoa - it was a tad strong for me. I doubled the vanilla because we buy imitation, and I also added in the last few drops of (imitation) coconut extract and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Divvied it up into 5 parfait glass and they look beautiful! Once they cool, I'll top them with homemade whipped cream - "Whipped Cream," submitted by MOOZOGASSIR.

Walnut Raisin Scones

Reviewed: May 31, 2008

I didn't add nut, substituted dried cranberries with the raisins and Smart Balance with the butter, and added a teaspoon of (imitation) almond extract, and rolled the dough into a circle and sliced it into 8 triangles.

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2008

Like others, I used oil instead of butter. I accidentally mixed into the batter the 1/3 cup of brown sugar for the topping. So I tossed in another banana and a 1/2 cup of natural applesauce, and used a total of 1 15/16 cups of flour. I also used about 3/4 teaspoon vanilla. For the topping used a little less than 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1 tbsp butter. I got exactly 24 muffins. Yes, I did screw with this recipe quite a bit but it still turned out delicious so I will definitely make again!

Caramel Shortbread Squares

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2008

Looks great! I let the shortbread cool for about 2-2.5 hours before making the caramel.

Mom's Island Treasures

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2008

A little too sweet so next time I'll use semisweet chocolate chips. They look lovely, however! I upped the baking time to 12 minute because I make my cookies on the larger side.

Creamy Chocolate Frosting

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2007

I ran out of Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting for my cake so I whipped this up. Very good. Spread beautifully. I think it will become my quintessential chocolate frosting.

Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2007

Love the cream cheese tang and it spreads beautifully. My only problem is that I ran out for my 3-layer 8-inch-round cake. Will use again and again and again.

David's Yellow Cake

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2007

My fault - after all, I did substitute brown sugar for white and I may have undercooked it - but too moist for me (can't believe I just said that). I guess I prefer Scottley's Basic Yellow Cake. But I'm glad that I tried this after all. I may try again following the recipe exactly, but 8 eggs feels so extravagant.

Buttercream Frosting

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2007

Tastes great, looks great! Just careful not to beat it too long or it will incorporate air bubbles and won't frost smoothly. A very nice alternative to vanilla or white frosting. I used imitation vanilla, not clear, and the color seems fine.

Simple White Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2007

It's baking right now, so I can't really review yet, but the batter tastes excellent! I doubled the recipe then divided it into six bowls (1 cup batter each) then dyed each a different color. I'm baking them as 3 8" rounds, with 2 colors per round stacked vertically. Then I'll frost it with white frosting. It will be a rainbow cake!

Banana Pancakes I

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2007

After hearing the Jack Johnson song, how could I not try this recipe? And I'm so glad I did. Definitely my favorite breakfast. I like mine a little mushy in the middle, and I don't smush the bananas in all the way so there are chunks. I would use riper bananas in the future and don't expect something like banana bread! If that's the taste you desire, maybe add a little cinnamon.

Orange Beef-Style Tofu Stir-Fry

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2007

I loved this! I did make quite a few changes, the largest being that I only made up tofu, no vegetables. I didn't drain it after frying, then just added in the sauce, which I made without the1/4 cup water and using Tabasco sauce instead of chili paste. I let the sauce boil down and it became fairly thick and slimy (not a disgusting kind of slimy). The tofu was, as what I think is a result, not all that crisp or crunchy, but it was definitely more so than it would have been without frying it coated in cornstarch. I especially like the little bit of heat.

Peppermint Patties

Reviewed: Jul. 3, 2007

Spectacular!! Beautiful and elegant, tasted just like the real thing, right down to the texture of the mint filling. The only difference is that you can pile on as much chocolate as you like. They take a while to cool and don't let the patties dry out too long or they'll get hard. I didn't have any semi-sweet chocolate, so instead, I melted a bag of bittersweet (60% cacao) and 2 oz. unsweetened bakers chocolate and 2 tbsp white sugar. It worked out well but next time I might try mixing in a little milk.

Apple Scones

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2007

Still not quite the scone I'm looking for, but it may have been due to my alterations. I realized I had no baking apples, so I went with strawberries and shredded coconut. I added a heaping half-teaspoon of cinnamon and went with half whole-wheat. Not too fluffy or too sweet. They rose more than I expected to next time I'll flatten them out more.

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2007

So good! Moist yet crumbly. I used strawberries instead of blueberries and added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter. I made a dozen regular-sized muffins and my only problem was the streusel. There was way too much! I didn't need more than half the amount, but I decided to use as mush as I could anyway. The end result had a crispy "lid" of streusel, too sweet for my taste. Nest time I double the muffins or half the streusel, but otherwise, perfect! I will have to try blueberries at some point, but strawberries worked out well and I'm sure peaches would too.

Grandma Johnson's Scones

Reviewed: Jun. 14, 2007

Very good but pretty fluffy. I think maybe that was because the sour cream I used was light. I prefer a denser scone, but otherwise it would have been a 5. I'll keep searching, but this is my number 1 backup!
