Ashley's Chicken Katsu with Tonkatsu Sauce

Reviewed: Jun. 26, 2008
Really easy and really good. I used boneless pork in place of the chicken. I also used bottled Tonkatsu sauce. My 7 year old ate 3 of them---they were the size of a chicken breast. Will keep and make again!

Banana Crumb Muffins

These were great. What a wonderful way to use up overripe bananas. I think I'll add chopped nuts or something next time just for fun.

French Baguettes

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2008
All I can say is WOW!!! That was so easy. I put a pan of water in the oven on the rack under the bread and it gave the bread the extra moisture it needed to get crusty. Instead of an egg wash, I just dusted the rolled dough with flour during the last rise. Great recipe---I see me making it again and again!

Quick and Easy Pizza Crust

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2008
This crust was really good. Let the dough rise longer for a puffier crust. Everyone loved the pizza. I used canned pizza sauce and pepperoni, sausage and cheese for the toppings. Great recipe!

Cinnamon Raisin Bread I

Reviewed: Jun. 3, 2008
This is the best cinnamon raisin bread. I do the dough in my bread machine---but don't add the raisins until it's rolled out and I'm adding the cinnamon/sugar mixture. That way, there is a nice ribbon of raisins in the swirl part. YUM!

Robbi's M&M Cookies

I took the advice of others and used 1/2 cup unsalted butter and 1/2 cup butter flavored Crisco in place of the 1 cup shortening. These were awesome. Will make again.

Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2008
OMG...what a great recipe!!! I read the reviews prior and used the suggestion of using rice wine vinegar instead of the sherry. I also marinated my veggies (onions, fresh pineapple, zuchini, red bell pepper) and chicken separate as well as skewered and cooked them separate. I doubled the marinade for the veggies and then after skewering the veggies, added corn starch to the marinade and heated it to make a thick dipping sauce. My husband LOVED and RAVED about it. My 4 y/o son loved the chicken. My 8 y/o (who will not let a veggie pass his lips) loved the veggies and my 2 y/o ate all of it!!! (Plus, it is fun for the older kids to eat off the bamboo skewers!!!) The marinade gives a sweet tangy taste to the veggies and chicken. Even though alot of prep work goes into this dish, I will make it for my parents when I go back to the US and visit my family.

Hot Fudge Sauce II

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2008
I made this the first time using exactly what the recipe called for and it was incredible but the 83 grams of fat (in the entire recipe) bothered me. I tried it again and used fat free half and half and it was again, incredible. I honestly could not even tell it was made without the cream. (I used about 3/4 cup of half and half instead of the full cup since it is thinner than cream.) My hubby said it was better than anything you can buy from the store. The fat is incredibly low with only that from the butter. Try it with the FF half and half--you might be surprised! Thanks for the great recipe!

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2008
I made this recipe with a combination of organic white flour, wheat flour and flaxseed to add in more fiber. The recipe came out absolutely wonderful!!! My kids and husband ate every one of them. You can put the dry ingredients together the night before and cut the topping to leave in the fridge so that morning prep is quicker. Now I buy bananas at the beginning of the week to be able to make these for breakfast on Sunday!!!

Sloppy Joes II

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2008
Awesome recipe!!! I used 1/2 cup ketchup and 1/4 cup Bar-B-Q sauce, omitted the green pepper for the kids and it came out great!!! My picky son that hates beef even ate it!!! This is definitely a keeper!! Great with toasted buns and a slice of cheese. Even more wonderful is that it is a really quick recipe.

Oatmeal and Wheat Flour Blueberry Pancakes

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2008
An excellent recipe, but I had to give it 4 stars for two reasons. First, the recipe makes so much that it was much more than my 3 boys, husband and I could eat. Second, the flavor is a bit balnd and needs a bit of spicing up. To fix the first problem, I simply divided in half. Instead of three eggs, I used one whole egg and one egg yolk. To fix the second problem, I kept the original 2 Tbls of brown sugar for the divided recipe and added vanilla extract and a little bit of cinnamon. Overall, the texture of the pancakes are soft and fluffy. Even though they are made with oatmeal, you would not know that unless told. My whole gang likes them, including the picky 8 year old. One word of caution though, these pancakes do not bubble the same way as normal pancakes, so make sure you turn them when the edges are slightly drying to make sure you don't burn them.
