Mile-High Apple Pie

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2008
I have never made apple pie but my son have us read every night this hand me down book every night "president & mom's apple pie," so I decided to make him one even though he does not like to eat food but he loved this pie and my husband too. I just followed the exact instructions with whatever mix apples I had at home also had store bought pie crust sheets. Very simple recipe and extremely good and had ice cream on the side :)Yummy!

Scottish Shortbread IV

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2008
OMG...I CURSE THE DAY THAT I FOUND THIS RECIPE...BECAUSE IT'S THAAATTTT GOOD! :) I was skeptical to try it bc I am a shortbread junkie and I really don't want to gain the weight...but I can't help it. I ate the entire batch. It's delicious! It tastes just like the shortbread from the store. Next time, I will add a bit more flour though to make it harder.

Beth's Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2008
I thought these were nice, but found the dough to be very wet. I added flour to reach the proper consistency, but still had to bake them much longer than stated. Good cookies tho!

Shrimp and Mushroom Linguini with Creamy Cheese Herb Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 21, 2008
We really enjoyed this one. I doubled the cream cheese since we like a lot of sauce and used milk instead of water. Really, really good.

Seasoned Cornish Hens

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2008
This was a pretty good recipe - liked by the entire family. I LOVED how the cornish hens browned...they looked beautiful - 5star restaurant-quality presentation. I didn't especially like the oyster sauce flavor, but the hens were very moist. I took the advice of many commenters and added Chinese 5spice, olive oil; cut the hens in half before cooking; marinated them 3 hours in ziploc bags in the fridge. Cooked this with the following menu: Zucchini & Tomato Bowtie Pasta, Seafood Quiche...and Watermelon. :-)

Glorious Sponge Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 21, 2008
Taste good but the texture was not as light as I expected. Maybe if I used cake flour (not all purpose flour), the cake may be lighter. I baked 45 min as many reviews suggested. turn out nice. For the topping, I put in jelly-liked cover with orange / grapefruit meat. I think it goes well with the sponge. Here is the recipe for topping. Water 300 g Concentrated orange juice 50 g Sugar 100 g Corn starch 20 g Butter 20 g Put everything, except butter, in the sauce pan on miduim/low heat. Stir constantly until thickened around 5-10 min (or until syrup-liked texture). Off from heat and stir in butter. Stir frequently while you lay orange meat on top of cake. Gradually pour/spoon in mixture over the cake. Let it set at room temp or in fridge.

Slow Cooker Taco Soup

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2008
I've made a nearly identical recipe for years. I love the ease, convenience and overall result. The difference in the recipes is that the one I've used doesn't use a crockpot. You can just brown the meat in a dutch oven/stock pot and dump all the other ingredients in. It's ready to eat in 30 mins. Good, hearty and fast! Great for a quick weeknight meal.

Lemon Blueberry Bread

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2008
It was good. I didn't drizzle the glaze over the entire loaf, I just did it on the individual slices and I thought it added a delicious lemony kick. Moist and very east to make. I did have to cook mine for 1 hour 20 minutes though.

Quiche Lorraine I

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2008
I made it to celebrate the Bastille day. It turned out just great. Both my husband and I love it. To reduce cholesterol, I used 1 whole egg and 4 egg white and unsweetened soy milk instead of milk. I also added some spinach. We brought the leftover to work on the next day, it still tastes great.

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2008
Ok, I've made these twice. I've used dried blueberries - I know, I know, I have no choice - and they still turned out amazing. The first time I burned the out of them and they still tasted good, just the tops were crunchy. I think it might actually be impossible to make this recipe taste bad short of dumping chili pepper in it or something. I love blueberry muffins and these are going to make me fat. Wow.

Ultimate Twice Baked Potatoes

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2008
I love twice baked potatoes for two reasons, 1. you don't have to be exact with what you put in and 2. you can make these in advance and refridge. or freeze! Yum.. the bacon in this recipe really make these delicious. I used turkey bacon and it was great!

Portuguese Custard Tarts - Pasteis de Nata

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2008
I grew up eating these custards in Macau (a Portuguese colony) so i came in as a tough critique. This was my first time however actually make this, for some reason i though it would be really hard, but i was amazed how easy it was. My whole family loved them, they were gone in several hours. My only suggestion is to use the paper muffin liners. I sprayed half my pan and used the muffin liners for the other half and the greased ones stuck pretty bad, but the paper was great. I also used trader Joes puff pastry and just cut squares for ease... They looked a little different than the authentic ones, but the taste is excellent. I will definitely make again. Oh.. I also used a half tsp of vanilla instead of the vanilla bean.

Burger or Hot Dog Buns

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2008
AMAZING! MARVELOUS! FABULOUS! I have been working and living in Japan for almost 2 years. It is NEAR IMPOSSIBLE to find hamburger buns at supermarkets here. The only hamburger buns you will find in here is at a McDonald`s kitchen...or a gourmet hamburger restaurant ( which are actually rare in numbers ). I am not a big fan of hamburgers, but once in a while, you get the great desire and craving for it. Armed with this recipe, I set to work and was amazed! I followed this to a tee and it turned out fantastic. It was slightly crispy on the outside, but very light and fluffy on the inside. I do suggest a few tips though ; If you are using whole wheat, it doesn`t rise up as much as regular white flour with these buns. Hence, for those who want to use whole wheat flour, it`s best to add a bit of white flour to the mix. I made another batch with 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 regular flour, and those turned out to be more like dense breadrolls ( still damn delicious though! ). This recipe is a keeper. In fact, after I review this, I will make anot
