Cinnamon Coffee Cake II

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2009

Delicious! Loved by everyone at work. I substituted brewed coffee for the water. For the Australian members, I used Betty Crocker's vanilla cake mix and 2 Cottees vanilla puddings. The cake is so moist and keeps well - if there are any left overs!

Great recipe! Just what I was looking for to accompany the turkey for Christmas Eve dinner. I didn't have MSG and forgot the herbs but it still turned out great!

Sweet Potato Pound Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009

Thanks for a great recipe, Anne. I made this at the weekend and it was a perfect cake to take into work. Not too sweet, even with the glaze, easy to cut and pretty light. I made the following modifications based on previous reviewers: - half butter substituted for apple sauce - more spice with 1tsp mixed spice, 1/2 tsp ginger - baked for an hour I should have put the glaze on earlier, I waited 20 minutes before inverting and glazing, the cake wasn't warm enough to fully absorb the glaze. Will definitely make this again.

Silver White Cake

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2009

There are no stars as yet because I am just getting ready to make this...but I had to dissagree with one review saying that you should use a cold bowl/mixers to beat the egg whites. That is true for cream but for egg whites you usually get a better end product with everything even the egg whites themselves being room temp!

Blooming Onion and Dipping Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2009

We've made this recipe 3 times in less than 3 weeks!! My family is just crazy abt this bloomin onion recipe and the Dippin sauce recipe is to die-for!! I ordered from ebay the " GREAT AMERICAN STEAKHOUSE ONION MACHINE" and it really does make beautiful onion bloomers!Very messy and lots of work - but the results is worth it!This recipe will work just as great with onion rings - so on lazy days, will just cut onion into rings and ditto with the rest of the recipe!

One Bowl Brownies

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009

Simply awesome. Even though I, oke other users, did adjust the recipe somewhat, these turned out awesome. I doubled the receipe (we have five children) but also cut the sugar in half. Like someone else, I did half brown sugar, half white. Really, really good. Good enough that I will only be making the normal batch now so we've got no choice but to eat only two or three each!

Old Fashioned Onion Rings

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2009

These onion rings are AWESOME!!If I could give them a 10* rating, I would!! They taste even better than Burger King's onion rings ( in Australia, the same franchise is called Hungry Jack )cos we can actually taste the real onion flavor. I used PANKO breadcrumbs( blend finer with a food processor 1st ) becos it has a nicer golden color n more crunchy than if using normal dry breadcrumbs. For lesser mess during preparation and also faster preparation - I followed this really good tip from a previous reviewer ie dip the floured ( I did add some garlic powder/ paprika/ dr parsley into the flour mixture for better flavor )onion rings into the egg/ milk batter and then placed them onto a layer of panko breadcrumbs in a large rectangle tupperware box. Put the lid on the tupperware box and shake gently sideways so tht onion rings are evenly coated. Set aside on wire rack ( not too long though or else the onion rings wont be so crunchy after u fry them )or for best results - immediately fry the crumbed onion rings. Its easier and faster to do this if u can get help from ur teenaged daughter! I did!! :) U can keep the earlier batches crispy n warm while u fry more by putting in a very slow oven ie 160-200F. My kids n I were greedy - we ended up making too much!! So we kept the left overs in the fridge n heated it up in oven next day. Taste almost as good as day its made but still crispy n yummy!

Beef Pot Roast

This is my first Beef Pot Roast and it turned out yummy! I followed the searing directions exactly, but added a cup of beef broth since we like a bit more "au jus" and added carrots and baby potatoes. We loved it! He had seconds.

Strawberry Cake II

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2009

YUMMY!! This cake taste really good - i think adding fresh strawberries instead of frozen type, makes a discerning difference!! I baked at 325F for 35 mins using a 13" x 9" baking tray...cut into 2 and layered it with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting ( also from allrecipes ). The layers were abit too thick - next time, will bake in 2x 9" round cake tins or in a jelly roll pan for thinner layers. I added 2/3s of the pureed and strained strawberries into the cake batter and the remaining 1/3 into the Whipped Cream cheese frosting. Both cake and frosting tasted really delicious n finger licking good!My dd couldnt have enough of the Strawberry Cream cheese frosting!

Too Much Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2009

Finally baked this much raved cake( more than 1000 reviews!)today! I was abit anxious when i poured the batter into my bundt cake tin as the thick batter did not look like the usual cake batter...infact, looked more like cookie mixture! Baked it for 55 mins at 325C ( as my bundt tin is dark colored ). I left the cake in the tin for 1/2 hr, then made the satiny choc glaze ( recipe also from allrecipes ). I was glad tht the cake unmoulded easily and looked perfect. Taste and texture of cake was fantastic - moist n soft, without a hint tht it came out from a boxed cake mix. My husband and kids love it - hubby n son had 2nd helpings and my young daughter, who normally dislike cakes finished her cake in no time at all!!Thks Denise for sharing this wonderful easy recipe!

Chocolate Zucchini Cake III

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2009

The best chocolate cake I have baked. Thank you for posting, Sandy. I followed the advice of using apple sauce in place of half the oil. I made a chocolate frosting with creamed butter, icing sugar, cocoa and milk and it was a perfect match. The cake is so moist and I can convince myself that it is healthy!!

Fragrant Chicken Curry

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2009

Thank you for a quick and healthy recipe. We loved this dish, serving with mango chutney and coriander really brought the flavours to life. I did not have ground cloves so added turmeric, cumin and ground coriander to my spice mix. For flavouring toward the end of cooking I added soya sauce and some honey with ginger pieces in it. I discarded the skin from my chicken befor adding the meat to the curry. I also bulked up the curry with chopped celery, capsicum (red and green) and some potatoes. Had quite a few extra vegies to use up thid weekend. Will definitely make this again

Slow Cooker Baked Beans

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2009

I don't know if I can every eat canned baked beans again after eating these. This is an easy, healthy recipe that is lovely to make the night before on a winter's night and have something delicious for breakfast the next day. I had to make some substitutions due to things not being the same in Australia: - I used a 500g package of dried lima beans as this was all there was at the grocer. Soaked them overnight before cooking and also got rid of the husks as well. - Used a 400g can of crushed tomatoes and 2T of tomato paste instead of the ketchup - Added 2 cubes of bacon stock to the water Will make again and again!

Balsamic-Glazed Salmon Fillets

Thanks for a great way to bake salmon, Isybel. I made this as written but had to use lemon juice instead of the wine as it was all I had. The glaze was fantastic and I am so glad I took the effort rather than buying ready made glaze. Will definitely make again.

Peppy's Pita Bread

Reviewed: May 18, 2009

I did it!!! I finally managed to make my own pita bread! I failed miserably in my 1st attempt with another pita bread recipe. But this recipe was sooo...easy! I added all the ingredts into my Bread Maker n press Dough setting. Then just practically followed the recipe to the T. Only exception is i reduced the temperature to 420F n bake for 4 mins. It was so fun to see the pita bread rise up like a balloon in the oven. We had these soft n yummy pita bread for dinner tonite with shish tawook grilled chicken ( recipe taken from allrecipes )They made a marvellous combination!! This recipe is definitely a keeper.
