Creamy Caramel Flan

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2012

I made this for a work luncheon and everyone who tried it went back for more! I got die-hard Flan-haters to even sample, then rave :) I took the advice of another reviewer and didn't worry too much about coating the pan with the sugar mix "evenly". It turned out coated well with caramel sauce even though I missed some spots.

Kentucky Biscuits

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2011

Delicious! I never make my own biscuits out of fear of making tasteless stones. I followed this to the letter and was pleased with the outcome for a simple, delicate, unopposing biscuit. I believe it needs two dashes of salt, as they were sweeter than savory. These WERE very easy - I will be making these again and again.

Absolutely Perfect Palak Paneer

Reviewed: May 24, 2011

I adapted this recipe's instructions to suit my cooking style. I also used fresh cheese called queso fresco. This dish paired nicely with tandoori chicken, vegetable rice and veggie curry. The entire family craves it!!

Indian Tandoori Chicken

Reviewed: May 24, 2011

Turned out exactly as I'd hoped. I marinated a split whole chicken for 48 hours, turning over every 12. Roasted it in the oven till 10 degrees below temperature then took to the grill to char and finish cooking.

Basic Bechamel Sauce

Reviewed: May 24, 2011

Easy-to-follow recipe turned out rich, creamy and delectable. Perfect (with added seasonings) to make up for not having cream of mushroom soup in tuna casserole.

Never Fail Applesauce Spice Cake

Reviewed: May 24, 2011

Quick, easy and called for stuff I always have around. The best way to use all those quarts of applesauce from last fall. Moist and tender flake; the icing was lovely but not necessary to enjoy this wonderful treat. Even better refrigerated and enjoyed the next day. Recipe begs for add-ins like shredded carrots or zucchini. Y.U.M.

Banana Sour Cream Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2010

This was a very easy recipe which makes it a keeper for me. I found the bread had a good crumb and a decent banana flavor. I halved the ecipe as I only had three bananas and didn't need four loaves anyway. I got lazy in the half-recipe and used two eggs instead of using a one and a half-egg, I just added about two tbsps more flour. I also used plain greek yogurt in place of the sour cream - it's what I had on hand. I used a glass loaf pan for one and a disposable aluminum tin for the other, then precisely measured the batter in half between the two pans to see how the time came out (since there is quite a lot of issues mentioned). The glass pan loaf was done in 70 minutes (it was probably passable at 60, but I thought it needed that tiny bit extra). The aluminum tin was still visually batter-y between the cracks at 70 minutes - it needed 30 minutes more for a total of 100 minutes baked at 300 degrees. I covered both loaves with foil at the 50-minute mark to control the dark top.

Quick and Easy Vegetable Curry

Reviewed: May 10, 2010

This was 45 minutes faster than the traditional recipe I usually use... and easier, considering I didn't have to go to the store for fresh veggies. I followed it closely, but not precisely. I am grateful for the inspiration to vary the regular recipe I use to save on time!

Fried Green Tomatoes

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009

Yum! I lucked across green tomatoes at th store and nabbed all they had - then ran home and looked for a recipe that would best suit these treasures! This recipe fit the bill, totally. They were cooked exactly as recommended double-dredged for a dense coat. If I ever come across green tomatoes again - this is what I'll come back to...

Mom's Oatmeal Blueberry Pancakes

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009

These were so dense and full of fiber! I allowed my batch to rest for 30-45 mins before cooking and the oats did not soak up much moisture - I had to add some flour to get them to hold a decent shape on the griddle. I made these for my son's sleepover and the kids all ate them (with homemade strawberry topping). It only took one and a half per kid to fill their bellies. But WOW! If you eat more than two (4" cakes) they sit like a lump in your stomach. I will probably not make these again, just too heavy.

Lola's Horchata

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009

I made it using the exact measurements but ran my rice through the blender. After the soak, I double-strained the batch. It is perfectly sweet as is (or a bit less) but I think it needs a lot more cinnamon.

Jo-Ann's Power Bars

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009

I like how these take very little of the ingredients required - so a small amount of stuff in the cupboards produces on-the-go breakfasts for a week! Saves me $$$ at the quick market, too! I made the base of this exactly as called for but changed the mix-ins (kept the walnuts, put in 1/2 c. shredded coconut & 1/2 c. choco. chips.) and did not get the "chewy" texture others reported. However, Hubby & I enjoy the 'health bar' flavor and texture. My second batch I removed the br. sugar and replaced it with molasses and traded half the wheat flour for buckwheat flour. I added Chinese Seven spice, toasted sesame seeds and almond slivers. I traded a quarter of the oil for toasted sesame seed oil. Lastly I added dried cranberries and golden raisins. What a neat flavor! I'm already on my way to having this recipe memorized while my third & fourth batches bake :)

The Whole Jar of Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2005

Was just "OK". nothing exceptionally "nutty" about the flavor... dough was easy to wrok with as long as it was COLD. Needed to be undercooked to be any good - dried out and crumbly when even a few minutes near the recommended time.

Pumpkin Bread IV

Reviewed: Feb. 12, 2005

Simply awesome! I made two loaf and the rest in muffins (don't recommend muffin papers). I used fresh pumpkin, too. The amount of batter involved was overwhelming at first and I had to transfer twice to a bigger bowl to get it all mixed properly, but, who cares? It was truly amazing stuff - and it goes fast! Next time, I'll sprinkle Sugar-in-the-Raw on top for a sweet/slightly crunchy bonus :o)

Soft Molasses Cookies II

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2004

Not really pleased with these. Does not represent the deep, rich flavor of molasses at all. Very mild flavor with a fluffy texture? Cooked to a pretty color and delicate aroma.

New York Cheesecake II

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2004

The exact kind of cheesecake I searched for days for! Thick and creamy, with a mild bite. Luxurous dessert indeed! Elegant as a stand-alone pie, thinly sliced - too intense for large portions. Begs for add-ins and/or toppings! Watch the "water bath" technique recommended in the cheesecake suggestions on the site. What they DON'T mention is the steam will catch in the the folded-over foil sides and saturate the pie's bottom thru the springform. Didn't even occur to me :o/ Fold foil OUTWARDLY.
