Cookies in a Jar (Emergency Cookies)

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
2 wheels only: try the "Cranberry Hootycreeks" recipe. It's very similar to this one and has the measurements in cups.

Big Al's K.C. Bar-B-Q Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
I followed this recipe exactly, simmering for about an hour to make a really thick bbq sauce. It doesn't taste like store-bought, but I found myself 'taste-testing' it over and over as it cooked b/c it was so good (sweet and spicy...mmm). However, I think I liked the taste more before adding all of the spices (aka just using the first 7 ingredients). The spices are a bit overpowering, -maybe I'll use less next time.

Sugar Cookie Icing

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
I had to double the amount of milk (used skim) and the amount of almond extract. The icing was really shiny at first, but not so much after a few days. Insanely delicious!!!

Mushroom Spinach Omelet

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
I love this omelet! The spices give it a great flavor. I also add some dice tomato to the veggie mix before adding the eggs.

The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
I followed the recipe exactly (but halved it and made about 40 cookies total...plenty!) and I thought they came out great. They rose a little more than expected, -maybe next time I'll try decreasing the amount of baking powder slightly. I did however use powdered sugar and parchment paper for rolling and baking the cookies as suggested by other reviewers. Thanks!

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
I used swiss cheese and toasted the sandwich, omitting the need for butter. Technically not a 'grilled' cheese then, but it was equally yummers in my opinion :) especially when dipped in honey mustard sauce...oh yeah

Butter Pecan Ice Cream

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
I used 1/2 cup pecans, 1 tbsp butter, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1.5 cups half-and-half, 1 cups skim, and 1 tsp vanilla. The brown sugar gave it a great color and good flavor...it actually did taste somewhat like butter pecan! I would recomment NOT using skim milk like I did, unless you like your ice cream icy. But the sugar can def. be reduced.

Vanilla Ice Cream V

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
I sort of followed this recipe...had to be scaled down a lot for my tiny ice cream maker. I used 2 cups half-and-half, 1 cup skim milk, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla. The ice cream was sweet and flavorful enough, but it clearly needed more fat (should have used heavy cream or whole milk instead of skim) b/c it was a little icy. Pretty good though!

Tex-Mex Turkey Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
I made this soup almost exactly as per the directions (except I only used 1.5 tsp Chili powder and forgot to add the tomatoes) and my fiance and I still thought this was mildly spicy-- we made sure to have enough sour cream on the top to help tone down the spice a bit. This would be too spicy for people who don't tolerate spiciness well (i.e. my mother :). We had this as leftovers for a few days afterwards as well and it was even better-- great with extra cheese and scooped up with tortilla chips. Thanks!

Cranberry Sauce Extraordinaire

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2009
I really liked it, but most people didn't eat it. My husband's family's not very adventurous so I should've known better. More left overs for me! I also liked it on a bagel with cream cheese.

Double Layer Pumpkin Cheesecake

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2009
I really enjoyed it. Used a bit more pumpkin, about 1 tbsp more of sugar and pumpkin pie spice instead of the spices. YUM!

Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2009
I also shredded the chicken beforehand, but might chop it into small pieces next time - otherwise it looks kinda like, well gross. Tastes great though! Used some other suggestions - the roux in the beginning I thought was key (cooked butter and flour until light brown then threw in garlic and followed the rest of the recipe verbatim), and will add the aromatics next time. Threw in an extra can of extra sweet kernel corn, but will throw in another can of creamed corn next time - I like it sweeter. Will also go with Pepper Jack cheese next time and the Rotel was a nice addition. I didn't have any bouillon so I used chicken stock and that worked fine, but might use the bouillon for more flavor next time. I really liked this chowder (it's really easy) - I had someone hold my soup for a sec while I did something and I turned around to catch him putting a 4th bite in his mouth!

French Dip Sandwiches

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009
Truely a perfect recipe - for once I did not change a thing. I heeded other's advice and used low sodium soy sauce. Defintely the right choice, it was salty enough as is, I can't imagine it with full-sodium soy sauce! The meat had a very delicate but well rounded flavor, it's definitely unique to other French Dips that I have tried. I had to cook it for 13 hours to get it to the shreddable consistency that I wanted (I had to start at midnight the day before), but it was awesome that I literally had everything I needed except for the meat in my cabinet; I was so excited. Served on club rolls with provolone, and also sauteed one sweet onion, then threw it in with the broth to cook for 10 minutes. Soooo good!

Garbanzo Bean Chocolate Cake (Gluten Free!)

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
My alterations: I used a 16 oz can of chickpeas, 1 tsp baking powder, added 1/2 tsp cinnamon and nutmeg (for extra flavor), and didn't include any of the sugar. They were still plenty sweet, but for some reason the bottoms of my cupcakes were dry while the insides were super moist. This recipe made about 9 filled-to-the-brim cupcakes, which I baked for 25 minutes at 350F in my silicone muffin pan. While these cupcakes are somewhat healthier in that they contain more fiber and protein than normal cupcakes, they are also more calorie dense (a small trade-off I guess :)

Cinnamon Ice Cream

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2009
This is my favorite ice cream to make at home. I used 3/4 cup sugar and skim milk instead of heavy cream, but it was still plenty rich and delicious! I would recommend this recipe to anyone.

Blueberry Oat Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2009
So good! This is my mom's go-to recipe for blueberry muffins. It's hard to tell they contain oatmeal and orange juice in the finished product. My favorite part is the crunchy cinnamon sugar on top :)

Chicken Souvlaki Gyro Style

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009
I ended up making a different tzatziki sauce, but the souvlaki marinade is delicious! I don't have a grill so I had to sear the chicken on the stove, and the marinade made this delicious crust. So so good!
