Chinese Almond Cookies

Reviewed: May 31, 2008

Excellent recipe. I make a dozen, then wrap the dough in plastic for the fridge to bake as needed. Thanks, Jane!

Vegetarian Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2006

I've experimented with a LOT of vegetarian meatball recipes over the years to satisfy everyone in our family (meat & nonmeat eaters), and without question, this recipe is the best. The sauce was a bit sweet so next time I will probably use tomato or cream sauce. Otherwise outstanding. Thanks!

Grilled Chile Rellenos

Reviewed: May 7, 2006

Easy to put together and the sauce was absolutely excellent. Overall, it was good, but I think the potatoes gave it a bit more of an Italian-type stuffed peppers taste, though I did use poblanos.

Caramel-Glazed Flan

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2006

Very good recipe. I used nonfat condensed milk and covered it tightly while baking. After 1 hour, I turned off the oven, opened the door & let it sit about 30 min. No problem to unmold after chilling. It was a little soft/curdlike, but not too sweet. Will definitely make again!

Mock Tea Sangria

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2005

Amazing hit at our party. I recommend doubling (or even tripling) the recipe as this will be gone in an instant!

Butter Bean Burgers

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2005

I used a food processor which might have been a mistake, because they came out a bit mushy and soaked up a lot of oil when fried. My husband liked the flavor much more than I did, but (more importantly!) my 2-year old devoured them.

Raspberry Lemon Muffins

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2005

These were not too sweet and great for brunch. I used fresh raspberries and a container of vanilla yogurt. The batter was a bit thick, but I added some evaporated skim milk & they turned out just fine. Yummy! Thanks Kathy!

Super Moussaka

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2004

This was easy to make and very good. We had enough with seconds to satisfy my family of six. I did replace half of the bulgur with meatless crumbles, and added 1 tsp cinnamon to a large can of crushed tomatoes for the tomato layer. Next time I will probably add minced mushrooms to the bulgur/crumble mixture for a bit more depth.

Cucumber Sandwich

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2004

Five stars because I absolutely *hate* cucumbers but *loved* this sandwich! All the ingredients compliment each other so I wouldn't change anything. We made extra sandwiches and wrapped them tightly in foil for a "pan bagna" lunch the next day!

Easy Vegetable Pot Pie

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2004

Very quick, tasty & was devoured by my kids (actually there wasn't enough!!). To cut back on the fat content of using two piecrusts, next time I plan to double the recipe and cook it as a stew on top of the stove with Bisquick dumplings instead.

Canadian Barn BBQ Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2004

Very quick & full of flavor. I cut back 1/2 cup on the sugar & used it as a simmering sauce for veggie chicken-style nuggets. The kids gobbled it up!

Waikiki Cornbread

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2004

Delicious! My husband (not a cornbread fan) loved it! Only be sure to use a large baking dish - I halved the recipe & used an 8x8 pan and it overflowed in the oven. Definitely will make again.

Tahini-Battered Tofu

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2003

I gave this a try & baked it. It looked ok going into the oven, but I ended up having to bake it for 45 min (!) and it still didn't really brown. Also, it was pretty bland. Sorry - not a keeper.
