If you don't have goat's milk, use yogurt mixed with some whole milk to thin it out.

Baked Rice (Ross Fil-Forn)

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2008
I added a lot more spice, and I used freshly roasted tomatoes. If you're not really careful the rice will not cook, so I recommend that you use a quicker cooking rice like Jasmine. It's also tastier.

Chicken Satay with Homemade Peanut Sauce

Reviewed: May 27, 2008
Mine needed a bit of salt and I used 2/3 cup of smooth peanut butter. It was still really good..I even added a pinch of dried red pepper flakes and eliminated the seeded chiles and it was fine. I wish mine was a little more sour though. Still awesome!

Umm Ali

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2008
Eh. This was just OK. Considering the MANY wonderful desserts coming out of the Middle East, I should have known that this was too easy to give me the results I wanted. I'll stick to the all day, time consuming recipes my grandmothers taught me. The puff pastry doesn't absorb the milk at all, and even if you fill the dish with it, and then it gets crispy on top. The nuts suck in moisture and taste odd after they bake.

Italian Creme Layer Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2008
Probably the worst cake recipe I have ever made in my entire life, though I admit I was using an oven foreign to me. The cake was soft inside but didn't rise (where the heck is the SALT in the recipe?!) and turned out flat and crumbling. I couldn't even layer it properly. I am an experienced cake maker and this was NOT what I was looking for, at all.

Buttermilk Pancakes II

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2007
My batter turned out a little thick, so I thinned it, and I wish I had thinned it more---these were too thick to be called pancakes! Still...they were fluffy and delicious. I added a little vanilla to it, too.

I substituted an anaheim pepper for the green pepper, and added a pickled red pepper and extra tomato, and a couple of whole garlic cloves and this was out of this world!!!!

A bit dry...I was hoping for a creamier dish like we eat out at Indian restaurants.

Amazing Pecan Coffee Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 7, 2007
I halved this recipe and used a round cake pan...SO amazing, though it fell apart a bit. I loved how the topping fell in a little, I think that was great.

Barbara's Golden Pound Cake

I've never been a huge fan of pound cake, but my husband LIVED on the Sara Lee kind before we got married. He won't go back to it after I made this for him!

Never Fail Meatloaf

Reviewed: Jul. 7, 2007
You don't need 2.5 lbs of beef, I used one and just most of the stuffing box (I used chicken flavour, it's all I had), and one egg. The stuffing gave a tremendous amount of flavor to this dish. I will def make this again!!!

Light 'n' Creamy Mashed Potatoes

This was a great recipe, very fluffy, and the cream cheese keeps the potatoes from getting too sticky when you beat them. Yum!

Traditional Kibbee has ground beef in the outside shell as well, so if yours is falling apart, that's because this recipe doesn't have any!

D'Amaretti Biscotti

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2007
Good basic recipe. It needed more flour though to keep the dough from being too sticky. I used margarine instead of butter. Also, I scored the dough first, AND I cut it before cooling it and I had little to no crumbling--but use a single-motion when cutting through, or you may pull out dough from the middle.

Fudgy Chocolate Chip Muffins

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2007
I used vegetable oil instead of applesauce and it came out a little oily. I definitely doubled the cocoa powder and it was worth it. Make sure you keep these covered...they get hard on top. These would be great with walnuts if you are a nut lover!

Cheese Bourekas

My husband loved this but I wasn't crazy about it. The pastry didn't cook all the way through and you couldn't taste and cheese or egg.

Split Pea Soup with Rosemary

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2007
I used homemade vegetable stock instead of chicken stock and I omitted the leek. It turned out so great, though it thickens up the next day. Rosemary and peas pair very, very well!

Apple Walnut Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2007
This tastes much better the next day, when the flavours have had a chance to mingle a bit. I didn't think this was very appley, but I used an apple I didn't really care for to begin with.
