Craving Cookies

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2009
Interesting cookies, a little doughy on the inside, but the flavours were really good, I used half peanut-butter chips(I'm a peanut-butter fiend!) and that worked really well, I took everyone's advice and pressed them with a fork and sugar and I'm glad I did, they don't really spread all that much, I think they would be even doughier if I hadn't, all in all I don't think I'll be making them again anytime soon

Almond-Topped Carrots

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2009
I made this exactly as the recipe read but added 1 tsp. of ginger instead of 1/2 a tsp. We thought it was great. I had a request for the recipe. I think this would be great with pork or chicken.

Jamie's Minestrone

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2009
A true Italian Minestrone! Lots of subtle flavors, nothing overpowers. Followed the recipe to a T. Only difference was that I used 4 cups turkey broth instead of chicken broth and water. Thank you Jamie.

Black Forest Chocolate Cheesecake

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2008
This recipe is really pretty good. Not too sweet like a few chocolate cheesecake recipes, I didn't have any almond extract, so I used vanilla,I also didn't have any cherries but I had some candycanes my grandma gave me, so I threw some crushed up ones in the crust, then topped it with crushed candycane, great holiday twist! I would definitely suggest baking it in a water bath, just the straight oven gave me some serious crackage! all in all, a quality cheesecake

Bannock II

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2008
I really liked the consistency of this once it was cooked. One of the problems I had was the salt, I added much to little of a pinch. In the future I would add a few "pinches" of salt. I will make it in the future, but with a few changes.

World's Best Lasagna

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2008
This turned out quite good. My son always said my Lasagna was the best (similar to this but with ground beef). Then my children became vegetarian and my lasagna was made with vegetables--no meat. I didn't like my lasagna --too runny. So, this looked good. I went through all of the reviews, every one! What amazes me is the amount of salt. Every major health issue is affected by salt--weight, heart disease, blood pressure, cancer, high cholesterol --you name it. I thought it was a typo but it became clear that it wasn't. I am reminded of a TV program about health food that warned-- if it has the sugar reduced --salt is added. If sugar is reduced--salt is added. I use NO salt if I use any processed foods (ei., sausages, canned vegetables etc.) and in general cooking then only as much as 1/2 or 1 tsp. I tell my guests that I don't use salt so they can use their own discretion. Back to the recipe--I am very pleased with all the suggestions made--I used the pinch of nutmeg. I made it the day before and did no cooking other than to brown the meat, onions, and garlic.. put it together to sit in the fridge for 24 hours. I did not cook my noodles--they went from the box to the pan. I thought for sure I didn't have enough cheeses (wrong) I used all fresh herbs from my garden so increased the amount except for the fennel seeds which I think I would increase in the future or use anise as well. I ended up like so many others with about 2 cups of sauce left over. I w

Bacon and Tomato Cups

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2008
I noted the reviews and doubled the recipe but didn't increase the amount of mayo. I think one only needs enough to make it stick together. Also, living in a small town on Vancouver Island means I can't always get all products. In this case it was the buttermilk biscuits. So, I used the flaky roles instead and divided them in three! Also I used muffin papers since I don't like greasing pans and they worked fine after letting them cool to take off the paper. I will certainly make them again.

Roti Bread from India

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2008
Not like Roti I've tasted but still very good and went well with a currie dinner I served. I found it difficult to control the heat and also I really needed a hugh grill for this.

German Currywurst

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2007
I looked and looked at this recipe and although I usually follow a recipe to a "T" the first time I could not bring myself to use 3 cans of tomato sauce. Then, I discovered I had no tomato sauce and used ketchup and chili sauce and sprinkled 1 tsp. of curry powder on top. I guess it's nothing like the original. I brought it to one of those pot-luck appy nights and it was a big hit so I've rated it four stars.

Midwestern Pork Chop Dinner

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2007
I followed this recipe to a T despite the reviews about blandness. Although I love curries and other spicy foods sometimes something subtle is great. This was one of those which had enough natural flavours to make it great. I will definitely make it again. It was the dish for Kohlabri!

Chicken Marinade

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2007
This is a great recipe that all my guests raved about. Prep is very easy. I did make the mistake of trying to marinade it for 24+ hours and although it was very tasty it absorbed a lot of the salt from the soya sauce. Either go with the recommended 4 hour marinading time or try sodium free soya. All in all - this is now my favorite chicken recipe.

Oven Fried Chicken II

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2005
I used dried tomato and oregano salad dressing mixed with the egg and I used Japanese panko crumbs instead of bread crumbs. I preheated the oil as was suggested in another review. It is oily BUT then - it IS fried chicken. We were pleased with the taste of the coating. Overall - very easy to make and I'll do it again.

Italian Halibut Chowder

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2005
I had a party of 8 for dinner so I used about 4 pounds of halibut and added a pound of peeled prawns. Everyone raved about it but I thought the sauce overpowered the flavour of the halibut. I will make it again though.
