Spaghetti Carbonara II

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2008
Very good! I used only 1/2 of a pound of spaghetti and kept the ratios of everything else the same because I like a lot of sauce, and it worked out well. Thanks for the easy and delicious recipe!

Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burgers

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2008
This was very good. I ran into some trouble with my mixture being too moist, but I just added more bread crumbs to compensate. Like other reviewers, I fried mine a little bit after baking to make them slightly crispy on the outside. I also added sweet white corn to the mashed beans, which was very good.

Feta Eggs

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2008
My favorite way to cook eggs. Doesn't need any added salt, the feta does it for you.

Thai Chicken Pizza

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2008
I didn't really care for this, so I'll review it for my boyfriend, who almost ate the whole thing over the course of a night. My problem was with the sauce--I didn't reduce the peanut butter like others had suggested, and I think I just bought a bad brand of sauce because normally I really like peanut sauce. We cooked the chicken with soy sauce and lots of lemon pepper and it was delicious! We also used a garlic naan for crust, which was really good. Anyway, make sure you use a good peanut sauce, and thanks to the submitter for an easy recipe!

Condensed Milk Chocolate Frosting

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2008
This was great! I don't know why some people were saying that it wasn't thick enough. It was so thick for me, I could hardly get it off of my hands. I never knew it could be so easy to have a super-fudgey frosting, but this is it. I added a little cinnamon to the recipe for a spice cake.

Lemon Blueberry Drop Scones

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2008
SO good! I am eating one fresh from the oven right now and it's the best scone I've ever had. I had no problems with the recipe as it is (I also used raspberry yogurt instead of lemon). Thanks so much for this recipe!

Bean Potato Enchiladas

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2008
This was good, but I followed the suggestions given by other reviewers, so I don't know about the original recipe. I fried my tortillas while my potatoes were boiling, and sauteed the onion in the leftover oil. I added the olive oil and milk to the potatoes and mashed them up a little bit, but left in large potato chunks. I also used chili-and-lime refried beans, and added jalepenos. I used only one can of sauce and had no problem with moisture. I also added much more cheese to the top than the recipe calls for. I thought these were delicious and very filling--I didn't need to serve any side dishes except chips and salsa. I have a TON of leftovers, including a lot of leftover filling that will have to be used for burritos or something.

Spinach and Bacon Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2008
This was really, really good! I used cream of chicken instead of the heavy cream and it seems to have turned out fine. I also used turkey bacon, and possibly because of that didn't have any extra bacon grease with which to cook the chicken--no big deal, just added some olive oil. My only suggestion is that you don't have to use that much flour--one cup or one and a half cups would have been enough for the amount of chicken given. I also added some garlic and salt and pepper to the flour before coating the chicken. I served it with green beans, parmesan-garlic roasted potatoes and the rest of the bottle of Chardonnay I used to cook with. I think I might try this again with potatoes instead of chicken, and use it as a side dish and serve with roasted chicken.

Fifteens

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2008
As noted in another review, Digestive Biscuits are a British tradition. The closest American equilevant (sp?) would be Graham Crackers or Nilla Waffers. If using Graham Crackers, use the square section, if using Nilla Waffers, I'd probably add an extra 10-15 more to make up for the density of the Digestives. Best experiment a bit. Either way...these suckers are great!

Sunshine S'more Cupcakes

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2008
Delicious! I made one batch following the recipe exactly; with the second batch, I put the marshmallow fluff inside of the cupcake along with the chocolate, which I think I like a little better. Also, I did not use nearly as much fluff and graham cracker as the recipe called for--I think I used about 2/3 of a jar and three crumbled crackers.

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: Jun. 1, 2008
Soooo good! I had to halve the recipe for lack of bananas and made muffins instead, but I would like to try it as a loaf. Delicious!

Peach Cobbler V

Reviewed: May 9, 2008
So easy. So simple. So good. I did as others suggested and added a wee bit more flour. I also added 1 cup off additional fruit (frozen blackberries) with an extra TB of sugar. Because we like spices I added 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/8 tsp mace (or use 1/4 tsp nutmeg), 1/4 tsp allspice, 1/4 tsp cloves, and 1/4 tsp cardamom (we love cardamom here). It was SO yummy. My husband loved the peach and blackberry combo with the spices (it was lightly spicy - complimented rather than overwhelmed). Awesome served with some vanilla ice cream too! (inexpensive to make and can go as simple as recipe suggests or add spices or an additional cup of frozen berry to fancy it up- versatile!)
