Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009
I was impressed with how awesome they looked, then I ate one and wow! yum! So moist and delicious. I made a few changes based on reviews: canola oil instead of butter in the batter, add cinnamon and nutmeg to batter, extra cinnamon on top. Also added more banana. Will definitely make them again.

Mom's Pineapple-Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2009
Excellent. I followed the recipe very closely. I only made 2 substitutions - instead of 3/4 c vegetable oil, I used 1 stick of 'i can't believe it's not butter' and 1/2 stick of real butter; and instead of walnuts I used pecans. I had to "crush" my own pineapple, b/c I only had cans of tidbits, but the result was a similar output. I still measured everything out to the correct proportions. Made two very nice sized loaves. Great sweet flavor, but not too sweet. Feels heavy and dense, but bread is relatively light and fluffy for something of it's kind. Brought 1 loaf to work at 8am, and by 11 it was nearly gone! No complaints or changes! (I'm going to have to make more of this to use up my zucchini!

Slow Cooked Apple Brown Betty

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009
I added cinnamon sugar to the apples, then used some homemade gingerbread for the bread cubes and sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray. It was YUMMY especially with vanilla ice cream.

Dave's Coleslaw

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009
DELICIOUS!! I didn't have buttermilk so I used a mixture of mayo, sour cream, plain yogurt, and milk. Next time I may try a mixture of dill and sweet pickles since my husband likes his coleslaw really sweet.

Maple Salmon

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2009
I followed the directions exactly and this was <>! Then again, I eat salmon right out of the can. However, I will be baking salmon under these conditions from now on. Thank you!

Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 28, 2008
First off, I only used 1/4 of the oil. I also added 2 tablespoons of flax seeds to make it a bit more healthy, and also added about a teaspoon of cinnamon, and some quick oats to top the muffins before baking. They came out great! Super subtle sweetness. I made the mistake of using milk chocolate chips, which I now understand sink to the bottom of the muffin. But it's like an added surprise.

Oatmeal and Applesauce Pancakes

Reviewed: Jun. 29, 2008
GREAT pancakes! What I did differently: added 3/4 tablespoon cinnamon, couple pinches of nutmeg and 3 tablespoons of organic cane sugar. Also- used 1/2 cup of cottage cheese (that was smushed a bit extra with a fork to minimize the lumpy-ness) in place of sour cream (didn't have any). Even with this change, they were wonderfully hearty and moist. Will definitely make again- with Stonyfield organic maple yogurt and walnuts. mmmm.

Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2008
Fantastic recipe! After recently returning to a vegetarian lifestyle, I've been searching for filling and nutritious recipes I can make on Sundays that'll last me as leftovers all week. This one is a definite keeper for my recipe book. Changes I made (based on the many reviews I read): Firstly, I browned the onions and garlic together in the olive oil to really bring out the garlic flavor. I used 11 cups of water, and 6 veg. boullion cubes, 1 & 1/2 teaspoons of both oregano and basil. I also added garlic salt, 3 bay leaves and some extra crushed tomatoes. I like my soup a bit more brothy, so if you do, too- definitely add more water/stock. It makes a difference. All in all, wonderful.

Marshmallow Treats

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2008
I definitely should have heeded the advice of others and used the microwave to prepare the marshmallow/butter goop- my saucepan is going to soak for a few hours before I attempt to scrape the toasted sugary mess from the bottom of it. In anycase, the taste of these treats are divine. I used 1/2 cup butter, 4 cups marshmallows and 5 cups of chex cereal (3 cups wheat, 2 cups corn). The combo of these 2 different chex flavors is near perfect!

Angie's Dad's Best Cabbage Coleslaw

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2008
I was skeptical that this would taste right. I love coleslaw, and tend to like the moderately creamy kind. However, not having the supplies for a creamy slaw and with a 3/4 of a cabbage in the fridge, I tried this recipe out. I am SO impressed with how tasty it is. I followed the directions from other reviewers, and cut down on some of the ingredients- I used 3/4 c of organic cane sugar, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 3/4 cup of CIDER vinegar, and still used 1 tblsp of both salt and crushed mustard seeds (I sort of had to wing it. A rolling pin & a ziplock allowed me to crush it up for the most part!). I also opted to add about a 1 tsp of black pepper. I also only used carrots and cabbage, but goodness me- I will gladly be eating this for lunch all week...it makes a huge batch! Delish! I'll make again often!!

Jalapeno Hummus

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2008
This is SO good. I used a fresh jalapeno because that's what I had on hand but soon I'll make another batch with a canned jalapeno and I bet it will be amazing. I saved the chickpea juice to add a little at the end for perfect consistency, and also added a little olive oil. YOU SHOULD TRY THIS!!

Marinated Venison Steaks

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2008
I didn't have time to marinate these, so instead I just baked the steaks in the sauce and they were still delicious and tender. The sauce is also really good over baked or mashed potatoes so they make a great side dish for this meal.

English Muffins

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2007
It tasted like an English Muffin, but was far too dense. I haven't tried it yet, but I would suggest using 4 cups of flour instead of 6. This seems to be what some other English Muffin recipes call for.

Cuban Midnight Sandwich

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2007
REALLY GOOD!!! I will definitely make this again! I used rye bread since we had it around. About the fat content, if you follow the recipe as it says it will certainly have a lot of fat. 1/4 cup of mayo for each sandwich, olive oil, cheese, and the meats all are very fatty. I tried to lighten it up. I used a smart balance spread instead of olive oil, used light mayo and mustard as a spread, and went easy on the meat and cheese. I didn't feel like it was missing anything!!

Hot Fudge Ice Cream Bar Dessert

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2007
My boyfriend and his friends love chocolate and peanut butter so this dessert was a big hit. I thought it had a burnt taste to it since I wasn't paying attention when melting the chocolate, but nobody else seemed to notice !

Beef and Bean Chimichangas

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2007
I L-O-V-E these! I made homemade refried beans for them. It takes a little extra time but it is so worth it. I also made a full batch despite that fact that it is only my roommate and I. They made some awesome leftovers. Will definitely make them again!

German Apple Pancake

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2007
I made this on Christmas morning. My Mom and Dad liked it, but I thought it was way too eggy (I used 3XL eggs). The apples were good though. I agree with the post that said this is more of a custard than a pancake. Probably won't make this again unless Mom & Dad ask for it.
