Sunday Dinner Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2009

This is a very good recipe. A great option for those who doesn't like stronger cheeses in their mashed potatoes. You may add some herbs, basil for instance in order to make it more flavorful...a keeper!

Good Dog Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2008

My dog absolutely loved this cookies. I didn't have whole wheat flour so I used all purpose flour. They turned out perfect. I used small round cookie cutters and they were also beatuful. When my mother saw the cookies (she didn't know they were for my dog), she asked me if she could eat one!

Black Bean Brownies

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2008

I'm a professional baker and I must say that this came out very good, I definitely will make them again, although they have a dense texture, they tasted good (no bean flavor at all), and they are healthy. I just loved them, thanks!

Banana Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2008

This recipe is wonderful. I baked it in a loaf pan, baked it for 60 minutes, and it turned out perfect. It was tender, moist and with a very intense banana flavor.

Classic Bran Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 30, 2008

This recipe is awesome! I didn't have buttermilk on hand, so I used milk instead. I also added chopped pecans and baked it in mini loaf pans for 25 minutes. They turned out perfect, moist and with the perfect amount of sweetness. Great with raspberry jam!

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2008

This cookies were trully fat and chewy, just what I've been looking for. I made them a little bit smaller and also used different kind of chips (semisweet, white, dark) and made some with walnuts. I recomend eat them warm with a cold glass of milk... DE-LI-CIOUS!

Chewy Granola Bars

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2008

A complete hit! Everyone loved them, I tried these with a picky crowd and they all loved them included my mom who had problems with granola in the past. Few tips: add more honey instead of the sugar to keep them off the crumminess of the original recipe, other than that these a real treat for snack time throughout the year!

Almond-Topped Fish

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2008

This one is really good, specially with fish-picky people. The flavours melt right in to create a really classy dish that you do not want to miss. I have tried it also with different herbs if dill is not your choise. A must is to substitute the mayo with souer cream, the difference in the quality is outstanding and way more welcome...add it to your recipe box!!! yo-om

Tiramisu II

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2007

The great thing about Tiramisu is that is both flavourful and savvy, you don't spend much money doing this treat and yet you get amazing reviews. Make sure the ladyfingers get really soaked in the coffee as it will provide richness to the overall flavour...yom-mi!!!!

Salmon with Mango and Brie

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2007

The recipe by itself is great, however, it needs a bit improvement here and there to make the presentation way more appealing: I had the mango sauce (with fresh mint leaves by the way...) on the side and the brie was added almost around serving, this way doesn't get messy and your plate looks like 5 star cooking. A real keeper!!!!

Dark Rye Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2007

This is the best rye bread I've ever tasted! I followed the exact recipe but used the "dough" cycle in my bread machine, and then I made 12 rolls and baked them on a cookie sheet. Delicious!

Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed: Oct. 22, 2007

Really good. Specially if you make the pay dough from scratch. Here you have tried tips that will enhance the recipe greatly: *Reduce both milk and chicken brooth and add 1/2 cup of white wine to the gravy. *You can add bacon or jam in small bites to upload the flavor. *Adding potatoe is very important and delicious. *You do not have to use all the gravy, feel free to use and moist your chicken filling as much as you want to or to cut it as much as you want to. *Brush your pie crusts with olive oil to avoid moisting of it, this will add flavour and keep off the humidity of the fillig. All in all a great recipe, you can freeze a couple of these for emergencies and your done. My family loved it!!!!!

Easy Stovetop Peach Cobbler

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2007

In spite of all the wonderful reviews for this recipe I must say it sucks! I have done it twice and both times came out dry and milly, I tried with different cake mixes and different canned fruit and still something uneatable came out, I was soooo looking forward to taste it since the smell is pretty good but it didn´t came out right.
