Grandma Johnson's Scones

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2012

Delicious! The whole family loved them. I used chocolate chips in place of raisins. These taste even better the next day!

I *love* that you provided directions on starting with a fresh pumpkin and doing it all from scratch. I have also used canned pumpkin, but it's nice to see the full details. The only thing that stops this from being 5 stars is the amount of spice. To me, nutmeg and cloves are too overpowering, and it leaves a lingering taste on the tongue. I would cut them each in half and up the cinnamon. I've also used 6-7 teaspoons "pumpkin pie spice" in place of all the seasonings. Another thing I do is sprinkle shelled pumpkin seeds over the raw batter in the cups just before they go in the oven. And I also frost my muffins with a vanilla icing and add a bit of pumpkin pie spices to it.

Glazed Cinnamon Biscuits

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2010

Very good! I made a few alterations to the recipe. I added 2 tablespoons of sugar to the dry ingredients. I found that I had to add a couple more tablespoons of butter and milk to the dough. And instead of using white sugar for the filling, I used brown because it's what I normally use for cinnamon rolls. This biscuit recipe alone, without the filling, is fantastic!

Belles Hamburger Buns

Reviewed: Mar. 15, 2010

Awesome! I made the dough in the breadmaker. Just skip steps 1 & 2, and start by putting all ingredients in the breadpan in the order recommended by manufacturer. Pick up on step 3 and enjoy! I also replaced 1 1/2 cups of flour with whole wheat all-purpose flour. My husband and 3 year old loved them!

Pineapple Orange Sorbet

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2006

This was absolutely wonderful. My husband and I are on a diet, so I thought I'd whip up a low calorie dessert for us using my brand new ice cream maker. Instead of sugar, I used Splenda (low calorie sweetener). The Splenda dissolved immediately in the water, so I didn’t boil it. After I puréed the pineapple I mixed in all ingredients including the sugar water, and poured it into my ice cream maker.

Cranapana Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2006

The bread would not cook for me. I doubled the time just about, and it was still gooey in the center. Aside from still being raw, it was very dense. I was disappointed that I had to throw everything (time, money, ingredients) in the garbage. The worst part was that I doubled the recipe without trying it first. Maybe it was a problem with my flour. Or maybe there should be salt added to the recipe. I don't think I'll try it again.

Blonde Brownies I

Reviewed: Apr. 20, 2005

Great brownie. It did remind me a bit like a chocolate chip cookie with a taste of caramel from all the brown sugar. Mine didn't turn out to look like that pic (the pic looks more like a fluffy cake)... mine was more dense and a little crispy like a cookie. I have never had a Blonde Brownie before so I can't compare this to anything. It did turn out how I expected it would, and I will make this often. Thanks for the recipe! :P

Ciabatta Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2005

I printed this recipe to use for homemade bruschetta. There is a restaurant here that uses Ciabatta for their Bruschetta, but the loaves are a lot smaller (about the size of my hand spread) and the shape is rectangular. I also bought some in the grocery store and they were the exact same as that restaurant's. I was sucked into this recipe because of how quick and easy it is, but it really didn't taste as "authentic" as the ones I have purchased. I made 4 rectangular loaves and baked it for only 20 minutes. They came out poofier than I expected. I spritzed my loaves every 5 mins as suggested, and they came out with a nice golden crust. The bread was very good. I think I will have to use a recipe that calls for a starter being made the day ahead if I want the taste I am going for. Thank you for the recipe - it really is a nice tasting white bread.

Pizza On The Grill I

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2005

I give this a recipe 5 stars because it is the best tasting pizza there is - my husband agrees! Although, I did have to put it under my oven broiler because the cheese wasn't melting and the crust was cooking too fast. I cheated and used my bread machine to make the dough. I had to substitute with fresh oregano (a little less than called for). I added the garlic and oregano last to the bread machine pan. I used a different sauce than the one in the recipe, and we used our own combination of toppings. Next time I will substitute 1 cup of beer in place of the 1 cup water - as another pizza dough recipe I have calls for.

This was pretty good. It could have used more cheese, with a little on top. This is very easy to make.

Perfect! I love this soup on a cold or rainy day. It is a good pick-me-up food. I have all the ingredients in my kitchen all the time so it's very convenient to make. Thanks for posting this fabulous soup!

Chicken Tikka Masala

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2004

Very good food!! It actually wasn't as hot as I thought/hoped it would be. Next time I will let the tomato sauce simmer for a lot longer before adding the cream to it. It was very very good the way it was; I just like things hot and spicy most of the time! 7 teaspoons of salt was a little scary to me and my heart, so I only used 1 tsp (1/2 in each the sauce and marinade). My husband loved this too. I will definitely make this again and again and again. Thanks for posting.

Naan

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2004

Well, I give this a 4 because my husband loved the taste. It didn't turn out anything like the restaurant Naan we had just last week. The taste was wonderful, and I might give it another shot. If I make it again, I will scale the recipe down to maybe 1/4 or 1/8 - I have tonnes leftover from last night!! Good taste, but not what I was looking for.

Raita

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2004

To each their own taste I guess. I personally think the garlic suited this salad. It reminded me of Tzatziki, only not as good. It seemed to lack something... more garlic or spice? It was OK, but I won't be making this dish again. Thanks for posting, I already have ideas from it.
