Sweet Potato Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009

This was really good. A lot like a pumpkin pie. Mine took a little longer than 50 minutes to bake, but it was really good. I will definitely make it again.

Chocolate Butter-Creme Frosting

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2009

Easy to make and it tastes very good. I might add another block of the chocolate next time to make it extra rich. Nice consistency.

If you like Cool Whip, then you will like this. It is the easiest frosting I've made, and it washes up easier than butter frostings. I used it on a banana cake for my daughter's 1st birthday. I wanted something that was not too sugary or buttery. She liked it, but my husband and I don't like Cool Whip, so we didn't really like it. I think it is a good recipe, but again, if you don't like Cool Whip, probably not the best choice.

Impossibly Easy French Apple Pie

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009

My husband made this and followed the recipe exactly. It was really good, but I wouldn't call it a pie. It did have a somewhat custard like texture and taste when warm out of the oven, like some other reviews mentioned. However, when it cooled, I thought it was most like what I would call a coffee cake. I will make this recipe (or my husband will) again.

Mango Lassi II

Reviewed: Jul. 4, 2007

Very good! It was a thick drink, but I like that consistency in a smoothie. My husband thought it would be better with more mango and a more liquidy consistency, but agan, I like it thick. I will make it the same way next time. I would only use a tablespoon or so of sugar next time though, as I don't like things too sweet and it is healthier that way! :)

Special Potato Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2007

This is really, really good! I am still chilling it, but I couldn't wait to try it, and even warm, it tastes amazing. I picked this recipe because my husband doesn't like mayonnaise and therefore would not eat the normal potato salad recipes that I like. I expected this to be good but not creamy at all, but I was wrong. It has a very good flavor that still tastes creamy. I halved the recipe because I was skeptical about the healthier ingredients of this tasting good, and now that I've tasted it I wished I had doubled it! I bet you could add more or less of certain ingredients to suit your taste too. I used turkey bacon, but the only other ingredient I changed was using fresh chopped basil since I was out of dried basil. I still can't get over how wonderful this recipe is. Thanks for sharing this version of potato salad, I will definitley make it again.

Busia's Cutout Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2007

This was a difficult review to decide on. I would definitley give it a 5 for ease of working with the dough; it really had the best texture I've ever worked with for cutout cookies. As far as the flavor goes, I would give it a 3 or maybe even a two. I don't like my cookies to be too sweet, but these had very little flavor period. I bet the other reviewer had the right idea though, when they said it was the perfect cookie recipe to use with lots of icing. If you had a really rich icing, I think this would be the perfect cookie dough. And if I were to make cookies with kids, I would definitely use this recipe because of how easy the dough was to work with. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Hummus III

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2007

This is areally great recipe. It's easy and it's small enough that it can all fit into my rather tiny food processer. Both times I added things for different flavors, but it is excellent as a base and I am sure it would be great plain too. The first time I roasted and peeled 1 red bell pepper and added 1 cerrano pepper chopped up and a teaspoon of cumin powder. The second time I made it I added half a cucumber and about 3 tsp of dried dill. Both were very good. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

Slow Cooker Adobo Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2007

I went with several other suggestions on this recipe, and it was very easy and very good. I loved it and my husband liked it too. I used 1/4 c red wine vinegar instead of white, 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce, and I added 1 Tbs brown sugar, 1/4 cup water, 2 bay leaves, 10 peppercorns, 1 Tbs chopped ginger. I also only used 1/2 pound chicken thigh meat, still very easy with all of the extra stuff. I served it with rice. I will definitley make it again and the only thing I would do differently next time is add a vegetable, like snow peas or broccoli.
