Ghirardelli® Individual Chocolate Lava Cakes

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2009
Wow. They look and taste really amazing and they aren't too difficult to make! I followed the recipe pretty much exactly except I used semi-sweet ghirardelli chocolate chips. I probably should have waited about 10 min to eat them so the "lava" wasn't so runny but I couldn't wait!!

Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes with Ham

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
Awesome! Made this veggie by omitting ham. Subbed cream of celery (with milk); used cheddar/mozzarella mix and added a handful of cheddar to top. Baked in oven per another reviewers recommendation @ 325d for 1.5 hrs. The top was crunchy, golden, cheesy goodness! Matched w/ creamy potatoes inside the texture was rockin'. Will make again for sure!

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.

Grilled Salmon I

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2009
Love this- easy and quick enough for a school night! A few tips of my own: sub 1/4 c honey for the sugar; use fresh lemon juice (2tbs); Omit salt and opt for a clove or two of fresh garlic. I line my grill with foil, grill skin side up first, flip, and then top seared fish with thinly sliced lemon rounds for remainder of cook time. Delish!

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!

Pork Chop and Potato Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2009
I used leftover barbeque pork tenderloin I had grilled the night before, sliced it and used it as the chops. I added fresh chives instead of onions and used the french fried onions on top- it was great! The barbeque flavor worked well with the recipe.

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.
