Traditional White Bread

Reviewed: May 24, 2012

Good. Didn't rise super well though. Not sure if that was an issue with my yeast or what since i proofed it for about 10 mins.

These are pretty good. Easy to make and fairly quick to cook. Only issue was that i found that the flavour wasn't so strong. Had to add a lot of condiments and if i was gonna do that i woulda made plain pancakes.

Chicken Melt

Reviewed: May 22, 2012

Decent chicken melt recipe, though "sprinkling red wine" on chicken while its over open flame doesn't sound ok to me.. I did a quick toss with the herbs, wine and a little bit of olive oil with the chicken in a bowl before grilling. It did turn the chicken a grey purple, but that's what happens when you use red wine on white meat. Next time I'll use white wine instead to avoid the weird staining. I'll also use some mayo on the english muffins before hand to kinda give them some moisture and flavor. Decent, I'll make it again.

Absolutely loved it....I made a few changes I didn't have a can of Italian style stewed tomatoes so I put regular tomatoes and a tsp of sun dried tomato paste ...

High Altitude Deep Dish Brownies

Reviewed: May 20, 2012

It definitely turned out quite well! Although I must confessed that I cut the sugar further down to 1 cup because I really don't care for a super sweet brownie and used 1/4 cup each of butter, canola oil and apple sauce. Because of that the brownie did not turn out to be quite as fudgy as brownies are supposed to be but my husband and I both liked that very much still!

Lemon Butter Cookies

Reviewed: May 20, 2012

I made this last week. It was fabulous!! I added almond dice (because I am a fan of almond!!) and the cookies turned out to be very crunchy inside. For decoration, I didn't use any granulated sugar, but instead put dried cranberry in the middle. Yummy!

Grilled Lamb Burgers

Reviewed: May 19, 2012

Great seasonings though I did tweak the meat and omitted the egg/breadcrumbs. I did half beef and half lamb so I wouldn't have to use the egg/breadcrumbs and make it juicier. Other than that, this is a keeper!

Mexican Rice II

Reviewed: May 18, 2012

I've made this rice dish twice so far and everyone agrees that it was great. The first time was for our Mother's Day fajita/burrito family lunch. I made it a second time as a siding to a vegetable main dish, and I added a can of peas to add some bulk to the rice. For both times, I added 1 tsp of cumin instead of just 1/2 tsp, plus 1 tsp of chili and 1/2 tsp spanish paprika. Love this dish :-)

Barbecued Chicken Quesadillas

Reviewed: May 17, 2012

Thanks for a simply and yummy recipe! I had to leave some things out (since I didn't have any parsley or tomatoes) and added some sauteed onions (since I love onions). I was short on tortillas, so I did a stack of three, spread a bit of chicken, etc., inside each layer, and cut them into wedges to serve. It all turned out just fine! I'll definitely make this again!

Easy Iced Coffee

I like the idea of an iced coffee simplified by using instant coffee, but this recipe proves that there is no covering up the fake flavor of instant coffee! This is no match for the recipes I've tried with brewed coffee.
