Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Reviewed: Mar. 15, 2009

This was wonderful. I reduced the oil to 2 T. canola oil, and I left the skins on the sweet potatoes so I didn't miss all of the great nutrients sweet potatoes have to offer :) For the leftovers, I added them to my salads during the workweek - it was a nice way to spice up the usual old boring salad.

Banana Sour Cream Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2007

There are lots of banana bread recipes, but the best ones make sure the bread is moist. This was FINALLY my first successful attempt at a moist and delicious banana bread. I halved the recipe and used one of the pans that make 4 mini-loaves. I started watching the bread after 40 minutes, and pulled it out around 45-50 minutes (toothpick came out clean). I used Tillamook fat-free sour cream, and dusted the tops with confectioners' sugar. Even though I used fat-free sour cream, the loaves came out really moist. I brought a loaf to work, and it was gone in 1/2 hour. Great recipe!!

Spicy Three Pepper Hummus

Reviewed: Mar. 25, 2007

Great base recipe! I cut the recipe in half and added some dried cilantro flakes as well. I added 7-8 jalapeno slices (round ones) and yes it had some kick. Also I used a garlic press for the garlic, and just threw everything into my food processor. Then I sprinkled paprika over the top to make it look pretty. Awesome recipe - I will definitely make again. Overall it's much cheaper to make on your own, not to mention it being more fresh.

Stuffed Jalapenos III

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2007

I made these for a birthday party - they were gone in minutes! Out of all the appetizers I made, these were the hit. They are quick and easy to make, and delicious. I have incorporated this recipe into my list of favorite appetizers. I thought they might be too hot being fresh jalapenos, but they had a mild spice (due to the cooking?) that was perfect for my tastes.

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2007

This was an absolutely fabulous recipe. The bread was delicously moist, and I didn't have to make any adjustments. I believe the loaf I brought to work lasted less than an hour and several people asked me for the recipe and I told them I found it here! It's made it into my recipe box where I put my tried and truely delicious recipes only.

World's Best Lasagna

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2007

It's replaced my standard lasagne recipe - this dish was great!! As always, I did some personal tweaking where I used 1# hot italian sausage to add spice, and omitted the 3/4# ground beef and replaced with 2 c. sliced mushrooms. I also used a full pound of mozzarella instead of 3/4#. The recipe made plenty of sauce, in fact we had a cup or two left over that should be great over pasta. The lasagne overall was nice and firm - not soggy or runny, and the top layer had a great crisp to it. To me those are the most important factors so five stars!!

Family-Style French Toast

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2007

What a treat! The brown sugar/butter/cinnamon mixture tastes like the gooey inside of a cinnamon roll. Since there are only two of us, I cut the recipe in half and used an 8x8" pan. Also, the night before I had made 2 loaves of french bread using my bread maker to make the dough. Since this is a lot of bread for 2 people, the next-day french toast was a great way to spice up the leftover bread. This recipe worked great and I am definitely going to use this recipe again. It goes very well with a side of bacon.
