Butternut Squash and Turkey Chili

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009
Easy, healthy, and hearty! Ignore where it says it serves 12, though. I think this, along with some crusty bread or some sweet cornbread, would have served 4 perfectly.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2009
This was really good. I cut the recipe in half and used slightly more Franks Red Hot and slightly less dressing - and I mixed blue cheese and ranch because that sounded good. People ate it up but it did seem to be a tad salty at the end. Thanks for the post - it was fun football food.

Seven Layer Taco Dip

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2009
It was good, but I omitted the lettuce and green peppers. But the main reason I did not rate this 5 stars is that I did not necessarily see the point of mixing cream cheese with the sour cream. More calories, not overwhelmingly more flavor. Good, but not great. Thanks though!

Butter Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2009
This was a very good cake. I had to make some substitutions because I did not have milk (mixed cream, water and added some sour cream), and I did end up adding an extra tablespoon of butter. All in all, wonderful cake - frosted with chocolate frosting. Yum! Thanks for the post.

Carrot Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 28, 2009
These turned out okay, they're good if you are looking for a healthy muffin, but without the fat they are more spongy than cakey. Make sure you FULLY incorporate the baking soda into the flour mixture or decrease it to 1/2 tsp. since baking soda turns carrots green. It's still perfectly okay to eat but green carrots muffins just don't look as appetizing =]

Banana Cream Cheesecake

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2009
This cheesecake is a great idea. I used 1 cup of pureed banana in place of the sour cream, as they have the same moisture content. This made a nice, thick, and banana flavored cheesecake. I did not have any banana liqueur, so I am sure that the flavor would have been even better with that. I would make a few changes the next time I made this. I would add a double layer of vanilla wafers and greatly reduce the amount of whipped cream in the topping. I felt like I could not taste the pudding after folding in the whipped cream. Also, I would add pieces of walnuts somewhere else in the cheesecake because they are not that noticeable in the crust. Overall, a great recipe-it was devoured at a potluck I went to.

Butternut and Acorn Squash Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2009
I thought this was delicious!! I made a few changes. A little less sugar, fat free cream cheese, 1 tsp of butter and fat free low sodium chicken broth made this much healthier. It was very rich. I might try less cream cheese next time. But, there will definitely be a next time!

Cookie Sticks

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2009
These turned out so much better than I was expecting! They tasted great and were quick and easy to make. I refrigerated the dough for a few hours then spread it on a pizza pan and baked for about 8 minutes. Definitely will be making again!

English Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2009
So good! It was pretty dry the day I made mine and I only used about 5 1/2 cups of flour. I probably should have tried to get more in because they deflated a little when I picked them up to put them in the pan. But they were still delicious. One important note: don't toss out the scraps when you're done cutting out the rounds. Cook them up first and eat them as snacks while you cook up the big ones. :)

Alfredo Sauce

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2009
Made so many changes, my review is a bit skewed. Used Kraft Parmesan, so it could be tons better with quality stuff. Added the pepper, garlic, and cream cheese reccomended by others as well as a roux since I added 1/2&1/2 instead of heavy cream. Ironically I did have freshly grated nutmeg :) Served with store bought tortellini and broccoli. Great fast family dinner with what I had on hand.

Low-Fat Blueberry Bran Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2009
Made a modified version of these delicious and successful muffins on my blog. Substituted bluberries with plums, made the flour 100% whole wheat, added soy milk instead of normal milk. Worked out just GREAT! Thanks!!!

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2009
These tasted better as muffins -- bake them at the same temperature but for only about 20-25 minutes. Try sprinkling chopped pecans and brown sugar on top, too. According to my boyfriend's roommate, these were "hella chron", & I'm assuming that's a compliment.

Chicken Wild Rice Soup I

Reviewed: Apr. 16, 2009
Great recipe! I froze mine in widemouth Mason jars for quick dinners and lunches. I added a teaspoon of thyme leaf at the end because I thought it needed a little zing of citrusy flavor to it. But great over all.

This was great! I also bruised up a bunch of mint and threw it in there. It was really refreshing with a heavy dinner of fried food.

Dump Cake V

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2009
This is very quick and easy. It's great that it requires virtually no washing or measuring. But you get what you put into it... the canned fruit was overly sweet, and all that butter just coats your mouth. It's convenient but not that tasty.

Sweet, Sticky and Spicy Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2009
We loved this dish but it wasn't sticky, which could be due to not measuring the honey. Chicken tenders made the meat even more tender and succulent and we cooked it in toasted sesame oil instead of vegetable oil which really added to the flavor. We didn't have hot sauce so I added 1t chili powder and 2T water (probably unnecessary). The sauce reduced nicely and concentrated the flavor. Served over bulgur wheat this was the perfect meal! A side of roasted, but still crispy, green beans rounded it out. I highly recommend this dish. Make sure to use fresh ginger, not dried.

Simple Mexican Rice

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2009
This recipe was perfect. I followed the recipe as written, except I used 1 tsp of cumin instead of 1 Tbs. The flavor was fine to me but I could see how one might want to add more spices. I always end up with leftover tomato paste from other recipes, and this is a great way to use it up.

Cathy's Creamy Chicken Bake

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2009
Easy, impressive, and delicious! The crispy topping is great! Any type of cheese works well. I'd recommend sprinkling a bit of black pepper on the breasts before adding the cheese, but no need to season with salt-- the cheese and stuffing are already salty. Some sliced mushrooms would be good on these breasts, too! Great with broccoli.
