I made these as gifts and never tried them myself so I can't attest for their flavor. The mix smelled delicious. I ended up mixing all the ingredients together. If you layer them, your recipient is forced to mix it all together themselves and refill the jar or make the entire batch at once. (Otherwise all the cinnamon will be on top.) I bought cinnamon maple syrup and apple cinnamon tea to compliment it in a gift basket.

Steakhouse Black Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2008

These are interesting rolls. I gave it 4 stars because I think it tastes like it suppose to (like black bread). I'm just not sure it's something that I'm fond of. My husband liked it quite a bit. I think my strong Southern coffee might have been a tad too strong because the flavor was a bit too distinguishable.

Butterscotch Bread Pudding

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2008

I made two version of this for Christmas. One with butterscotch on homemade cinnamon swirl bread, one with chocolate chips on Swedish chocolate bread w/ black walnuts. I followed reviewers suggestions and decreased the amount of milk, but I wish I hadn't. It wasn't quite gooey enough, even with reducing baking time by 10 minutes. The butterscotch combination was awesome. The chocolate was a bit too sweet. I would suggest using less brown sugar when making the chocolate version or when using a sweeter bread. Next time I think I'll make a bourbon or rum glaze topping and some fresh whipped cream.

Christmas Morning Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2008

Very good and very easy. I used turkey sausage instead of pork. I think this may become a Christmas tradition.

Honey Wheat Sandwich Rolls

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008

Oh wow. These are great. I made them into smaller rolls (about 24/batch). This recipe is a keeper!

Lentil Soup II

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008

Disappointing but salvageable. I used the entire 8 oz can of tomato sauce and increased the Italian seasoning significantly. I also added a couple cloves of garlic, ground chicken, and a couple pinches of red pepper flake. I used my immersion blender to blend about half of the mixture, which thickened it nicely. It turned out pretty good, but it still seemed liked it was missing something. I love lentils, but I don't think this is the lentil soup recipe for me.

Bread Machine Rolls

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2008

I've never made rolls using my bread machine before, and I'm wondering what took me so long. These were great! I subbed 1 cup of wheat bread because I just can't make white bread... I baked them for 20 min in 250 F b/c I'm freezing them. However, I finished one in the oven (a few min at 425) to test them. Since I was baking only one, I skipped the egg wash. They are a bit sweet but very good! Yum!

Sweet and Spicy Stir Fry with Chicken and Broccoli

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2008

This is a good recipe, but it definitely needs tweaking with personal preferences. My husband and I LOVE hot food; however, I think a tablespoon of chile paste is a bit too much. I would suggest starting with a tsp and going up from there. For us, I think 2 tsp should do it. It's also a bit confusing to say 2 chicken breast halves since those vary in sizes. I used a pound of chicken breast. I also added diced carrot, baby bella mushrooms, and baby corn. It was delicious served over brown rice. I'll definitely make this again.

Coconut Curry Tofu

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2008

I craved Thai food when I was pregnant, and now that I'm trying to lose the baby weight, it's on my no-no list...until I found this recipe! I used green peppers instead of yellow (cheaper) and added baby corn (b/c I like baby corn). My only mistake was making this on a weeknight. It took too long. However, I'm definitely going to make this again (on a weekend).

Mustard Crusted Tilapia

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2008

I heeded the advice of the previous reviewers and made double the topping. With such low calories, why not? I thought I had spicy brown mustard in my fridge, but it was actually tangy dijon (such saucy names!). Never the less, it turned out great for a dish that was so quick and simple. This will be in my arsenal for quick dinners. (Especially since tilapia can be thawed in cool running water.)

Beef and Bean Chimichangas

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2008

I'm a Mexican food freak, but this just wasn't good...in my humble opinion. My tortillas were touch and hard to cut, instead of crispy, like I had wanted. Next time, think I'll just stick with enchiladas or soft tacos!

Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2008

Being in a hurry, I accidentally put the streusal on prior to baking. After deciding to just roll with it, I was happily surprised. It was really good! The topping sank in and tasted like it belonged. LOL. Very good. Like other reviewers, I must agree that this is less like a cheesecake and more like a different-tasting pumpkin pie. Note that most pumpkin cheesecakes call for two bricks of cream cheese, this is only one. Still delicious!

Cha Cha's White Chicken Chili

Not bad! Added garlic salt, doubled the oregano. I think hominy or corn would be a good addition. Will make again. Super easy & quick.

These were good! Time consuming, but I heard nothing but great things from all who had one. Added some nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Very good and they were beautiful when I took them out of the oven.

Chicken Enchiladas I

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2008

This was a great base recipe. After reading tons of reviews, I left out the tomato sauce and water altogether and substituted green chiles for the green pepper. This made for a creamy filling, rather than tomato-y. Like another reviewer, I made these ahead, minus the enchilada sauce & cheese on top. Pulled it out of the fridge later, threw the necessities on top, baked for 30 minutes. It was delicious. Will be my standard.

Autumn Harvest Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2008

These are awesome. Doubled the amount of orange extract, used half a cup of the cranberries and half a cup of raisins. I had to cook these about 12-14 minutes to get the "browned edges" effect, but it could just be my oven. Made them for poker night and they were demolished.

Fantastic Black Bean Chili

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2008

I used fire roasted tomatoes, but I think next time I'll use a can of Rotel. I also add some red pepper flakes for a little spice. It's a good recipe, but I think it needs a little tweaking.
