These are pretty good and they hold their shape pretty well in the oven, however the dough is really stickey and needs quite a bit of extra flour when rolling out. I use parchment paper when rolling my dough, makes it a bit easier.

Pretzel Turtles

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009

These are delish!! I took some others advise by using the Dove chocolate carmels and only left them in the oven for about 3 minutes and a few second. I also toaseted the pecans. I think the Dove candies were too big for this, when I gently presed the pecan down, and I mean gently, the caramel oozed out of the candy. Make sure you use parchament paper, I think it works much better than wax paper. I'll try these again with Rolos. But they are still great.

Pumpkin Cookies V

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009

This is the exact same recipe my family has been using for many, many years except we add some baking powder as well to make them a little more fluffy and cake like. I love this recipe!!

Dawn's Candied Walnuts

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009

This is an awesome recipe!! Any nuts leftover at the end of this baking season are going to end up candied with this recipe. I used a candy thermometer to take the mixture exactly to the softball stage and when mixed with the toasted nuts the mixture starting to harden immediately. They could be eaten in about 10 minutes. I think next time I will make a little more of the candy mixture as this just barely covered one pound of nuts (which according to my kitchen scale was close to 4 cups) I also think I will incorporate pecans, and almonds and other nuts as well as maybe try more spices such as some nutmeg. Thanks for a great recipe.

Quinoa Side Dish

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009

This is a great basic quinoa dish that you can add just about anything to from extra veggies to shrimp or chicken. I used olive oil instead of butter and I suated my onions and garlic while toasting the quinoa.

Brown Sugar Shortbread Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009

These were awesome!! I had no problems with my dough being crumbly and I used the full 2 1/2 cups of flour...maybe has something to do with me being in hot, humid Florida. I made the dough the night before and formed it into a square. When I got it out of the fridge today I let it sit a while then I used it like slice cookies and just sliced strips of dough off, worked great!! I hate getting out my rolling pin if I don't have to. Thanks!

Spice Cookies with Crystallized Ginger

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009

I had some leftover crystalized ginger from another recipe and thought I'd give them a try...glad I did. I also added some chopped candied ginger that I had left over as well. I did not knead my dough as my mixer did a nice job, nor did I roll my cookies into a ball and dip them in sugar...waaaayyyy too time consuming, I wanted somehting quick. I used my small Pampered Chef melon-baller to scoop the dough into nice small balls then dipped a juice glass in sugar to flatten them down and sprinkled decorator sugar on them. I did follow up with a simple powdered sugar glaze after they cooled. Very nice. Thanks!

Gingerbread Biscotti

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009

I followed the recipe exact and I think the oven temp is way too high as others have mentioned, My ends started getting really dark before the middles cooked. Also when mixing the dough it never came to a nice smoothness, it was still very sticky, but I didn't want to add more flour and make them tough. I will try again at a lower temp, hopefully it will be better, the taste and smell are great.

Honey Limeade

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2009

I thought this was wondefully refreshing on these unseasonably hot days we are having here in FL. This was especially good when you pick the limes right off the tree. I also used honey from one of the local orchards that has a citrus essence. Thanks so much for a great hot weather drink.

Mustard Crusted Tilapia

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2009

This was pretty good, I actually used pollock instead of tilapia, but any mild white fish will do. I used two very small...about 3oz each filets and I thought there wasn't enough mustard mixture to cover, probably should prepare about 50% more.

Easy Tootsie Rolls

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009

These were pretty good, not quite Tootsie Rolls, but as others mentioned it would make a great edible play-doh or I would be more inclined to use it as a chocolate fondant for cake decorating.

Robin's Quinoa with Mushrooms and Spinach

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009

I loved this dish!! I did omit the extra chicken broth to the spinach part because my mushrooms gave off quite a bit of liquid, I used mostly baby bellas with some button mushrooms. Once I combined the quinoa mixture with the mushrooms there was quite a bit of liquid and I left it cook down a little bitbefore adding the spinach. Also, please don't omit the goat cheese, it really added another layer of flavor to this already flavorful dish! Thank you for a grear recipe!

Quinoa with Mushrooms

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009

This was the first time I made quinoa, and I'll certainly be making it again. This was great, also I can see this being a great base recipe for adding other veggies in such as zucchini, yellow squash, spinach, or egg plant. Great when you want to have a meatless dish...use vegetable broth. Thank you!

Apricot Chicken II

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009

Ok, maybe I really shouldn't be rating this because I really dont like when people rate things and they made a bunch of changes...and I made a big one, I didn't use apricot preserves I used peach...it was all I had on hand. It was still a great chicken, I just thought there was a bit too much sugar. I think it would have been that way regardless of the preserves being apricot or peach. Thanks for a great recipe, I will make this again...with apricot.

Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding I

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009

I was not very impressd with this, I took it out of the oven about 15 minutes early, before it got to the "dry" stage everyone else had mentioned, but my egg still seemed to turn to a scramble as another reviewer had mentioned. I've always made rice pudding before where you temper the egg before adding it to the mixture, I thought this might be ok since the egg would come up to temperature with everything else, but it never got creamy, just eggy. I think I'll stick with the Classic Minute Rice Pudding and Creamy Rice Pudding recipes from this site, they seem to work best for me.

Feta Shrimp Pasta

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2009

I thought this was great!! I did substitute olive oil for the butter and threw in some garlic and I used less than 1/2 the pasta. I can see why some may think it's a bit dry...it is not really a sauce, but more a topping, but I would double everything but leave the pasta the same. Thanks!

Key West Chicken

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic Vinegar

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2009

Hubby and I made this today for a late-lunch/early-dinner, it was great!! He doesn't like balsamic vinegar as much as I do but he agreed he'd like to have this again. I used both rosemary and thyme in the marinade and they really added to the flavor! Thank you!
