Crumb-Topped Rhubarb

Reviewed: May 22, 2012

Delicious!! I added vanilla to the pie and cinnamon in the topping as well. Served with homemade raspberry ice cream, oh so good!! Not too sweet either, it was perfect!

Awesome cake! Super moist! I used it to build a tiramisu cake (I flavoured it with almond and coffee) so I didn't get to taste it 'au natural' but the texture was fantastic, I've finally found my yellow cake recipe! Thanks!!

Whole Wheat Bread II

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2012

I cut the recipe to do 3 loaves, used about 1/2 cup brown sugar and skipped the white. I also used a cup of rye flour. It was absolutely delicious bread! After the first rise, I took one third of the dough, stretched it out and sprinkled a tbsp of cinnamon and a bunch of raisins on it, rolled it up tight and let it rise another 2 hours in the bread pan. So so good!! Thank you!

Buttermilk Pancakes II

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2012

I had high hopes for these pancakes but they didn't meet them. They rose fairly well but didn't taste like anything. I'll definately stick to my dad's pancake recipe.

Good-Morning Banana Nut Cereal

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2012

Delicious! I've made this twice in 2 days. The second time was much better, I cooked the quinoa in the water for about 10 mins, then added the milk and other goodies. I did it once with banana and once with an apple, they were both really good! My 9 month old gobbled down almost a full portion too :-) Thanks!

Heavenly White Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 1, 2012

This cake was okay, it was a little bland and not quite as fluffy as I had hoped. Next time I'll try adding some sugar to the whites to keep them fluffy.

Tiramisu Layer Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 1, 2012

I used 'Heavenly White Cake' instead of a boxed mix, used Starbucks coffee liquer because it has a much stronger coffee taste than Kahlua, and had half marscapone, half whipped cream in the outer layer. I used a tbsp of coffee in the bottom layer and doubled the liquer everywhere. I thought the cake was still seriously lacking in coffee flavour so I whipped up a coffee sauce (coffee, sugar and heavy cream). I served each slice on top of the sauce. It was a huge hit! I'll serve it the same way next time, with the sauce. The recipe as written was only 3 stars but with my changes it's 5 stars and I think I preferred this to regular tiramisu. Thanks for the idea!

Greek Lemon Cake

I made this as written, only subbing all-purpose and cornstarch for the cake flour. It is amazing! I've finally found my base birthday cake recipe. Thank you!!!! It's moist, fluffy and lemony today, I can't wait to see how much better it is tomorrow!!

Silver White Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2012

I made this using mostly half and half plus some milk as per the previous reviews. I was also a bit worried about it being dry so I added some applesauce. It was almost soggy now so next time I'll make exactly as written,although I thought it had a bit of a baking powder aftertaste when eaten before frosting. Next time maybe I'll cut the baking powder back a little?

Classic Red Velvet Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2012

This wasn't a big hit at our house. It was pretty dry, crumbly and wasn't very chocolately despite some extra cocoa. It was better after sitting 2 days but we will keep looking for a good red velvet recipe.

Michael's Foccacia Bread

Delicious! I made a different topping based on what we had at home. Let the dough rise around 30-35 mins the first time, used half the salt in the dough and just sprinkled a little on top. It is to die for good. Thank you!!!

Seared Scallops with Pineapple, Ginger and Lemon Grass Salsa

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2012

I cut the olive oil in half and added cajun seasoning to the scallops. The salsa was great but next time I'll do waaaaay more of it and use lemon juice/zest instead of lemon grass. Lemon grass just isn't meant to be eaten, there were little strands of it that weren't so appealing. Great recipe overall, will definately make again. Thanks!

Chocolate Cakes with Liquid Centers

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2012

Made this for Valentines day last night. The flavour was great but they didn't hold their shape coming out of the cups so they weren't visually appealing at all. Will probably make them again anyway since it was so fast and tasty. Maybe make 3 cups from the whole recipe, maybe the problem was my brulee cups are too big ?
