Apricot Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2008

I love this recipe! The trick the soup is to COVER the stock pot and then let the soup simmer 30 minutes, so that way the water stays in the pot, it won't boil out and leave you needing to add more water. I pureed the soup completely with a stick blender, and then right before serving, I swirled in a dollop of plain yogurt for some extra creaminess. It was awesome! Thanks for the great, inexpensive, recipe!

Mom's Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2008

Really easy, really good! All you can ask for!!!! I also used the applesauce, pumpkin pie spice, and then i used egg whites, and the brown sugar. I think it could use just a tiny bit more sweet, but no complaints! Thanks!!!

Chocolate Glaze I

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2008

absolutely perfect for what I was doing. I made a dense Devil's food cake and I thought I had after I drizzled it over the cake. It's almost like hot fudge and it would be REALLY good over cake and icecream.

Snickerdoodle Cake I

Reviewed: Jun. 30, 2008

AMAZING!!! I used butter instead of shortening and that definately made it better! I added 1 tsp of cinnamon to the batter, and I also doubled the cinnamon topping and put half of it in middle of the cake then covered it with the rest of the batter. Also, with the second half of the topping I added about 1 TBSP of flour, 2 TBPS of brown sugar and then cut in 2 TBSP of room temp butter until it resembeled more of a crumbly mixture and sprinkled that on top. HOLY COW!!! It made a perfect strussel topping! I also followed other reviewers suggestions and drizzeled 1/2 a stick of melted butter over the top while it was still warm. Everyone raved over this!!! Thanx for the great recipe!

Burnt Butter Frosting

Reviewed: Jun. 11, 2008

I personally loved it! Very interesting and I couldn't eat it alone, it was too rich but on top of a fudge brownie it would be great. My husband said it was too buttery but I give it 5 stars for uniqueness?!

White Bean Chicken Chili

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2008

This was pretty true to everyone else's reviews I'm happy to say! I left out the oil, threw the chicken in with the sauces and spices raw and just let it all simmer together for about 40 minutes, pulled the chicken out, shredded it, put it back in for another 20 minutes (absorbed the flavors quite nicely) then and added the beans and some frozen sweet corn. I liked the sweet corn because it gave it a huge complimentary burst of sweet when you bit into a kernel. I also used salsa verde instead of straight tomatillos, and I would do that again, gives it just enough "kick". I added some cilantro, but I don't think I'd do it again. Not that it was bad, but I think it just overwhelmed all of the other flavors which were perfect on their own. Great easy and super HEALTHY recipe! 10 stars just for the latter!

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2008

VERY GOOD!!!! I was hoping for something a little richer on the pumpkin flavor, however I was not disappointed in the least by this bread. I cut the oil in half and then just added extra water since i didn't have any applesauce, but it turned out so moist and delicious anyways that I'm tempted to realllyyyy cut the oil down next time and maybe add more pumpkin to compensate. So good though. Hard to eat just one piece!!! My mother in law is starting to wonder how all my "first tries" turn out better than all of her tried and true recipes, hee hee hee, I love this website.

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 12, 2008

This is my first shot at tortilla soup, but it couldn't have been any easier!!! Like others I used another can of chicken broth in place of water, and added a can of drained black beans. Personally, I think I'd add another can of beans, whatever kind. I was a little confused which kind of enchilada sauce to use (red or green) so I used red, but next time I think I'll try green... or maybe both! I'd also add more cilantro, but really, on it's own this is a GREAT recipe!!! I am loving it!
