These are positively DELICIOUS! I'm not big on cakey cookies but these were SO soft and full of flavor! I took some to a pumpkin carving part and got lots of compliments -- people asked for some to take home!! I, like many other reviewers, doubled the spices and added a teaspoon of ground ginger. I used cream cheese frosting on top because I had some I needed to get rid of. It was tasty, but I'll try the glaze next time, because the frosting made them pretty messy.

Oma's Cottage Cheesecake

Reviewed: Sep. 20, 2007

This is a nice, light pie. It could use a little more flavor, but still a nice treat. I used Splenda instead of sugar and baked it in a pie pan.

Cabbage Sloppy Joes

Reviewed: Sep. 20, 2007

These were tasty! I loved the cabbage. As a vegetarian, I used GimmeLean Ground Beef Style as a meat replacement and it worked out great. The only thing I would change is use less brown sugar in the sauce. It was almost too sweet. Maybe just two tbsp of sugar.

Best Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2007

This was tasty and SO easy to make! I couldn't find cauliflower soup mix, so I used a leek soup mix. I think my expectations were a little off, because I was expecting it to me like a more tradition cheddar/broccoli soup. The flavor was great, but the consistency was just a little too broccoli-heavy. I'll probably make this again with a few modifications, because it's hard to find something so flavorful that can be made so fast!

Fresh Ginger Cookies

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2007

I made these for a birthday party, along with some other, what I would call more "flashy" cookies. These were the first to go and I got so many compliments on them. I loved how soft and chewy they turned out. I can't wait to wow people with these at upcoming holiday parties!

Curried Cashew, Pear, and Grape Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2007

This is one spicy, delicious salad!! I'm eating my second serving as I type. I omitted the bacon and followed others' suggestions and only used 1/4 cup olive oil. I've already phoned the husband to tell him he's in for a tasty treat when he gets home from work.

Chicken Pesto Pizza

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2007

I'm a big pesto lover, and this is so good! I used Quorn cutlets (substitute chicken) because I'm vegetarian, and mozzarella, because I'm too lazy to grate my own cheese. :) I made it with the Amazing Whole Wheat Pizza Crust recipe from this site, and it was a great combo. Will definitely make this again!

Amazing Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2007

This was absolutely wonderful! Next time I will half the recipe for a thinner crust -- the thicker crust was just tad too bread-y for our tastes. I used the Chicken Pesto pizza recipe from this site for toppings and it was simply delish!

Chocolate Mint Candies Cookies

Reviewed: Sep. 6, 2007

These were my contribution to a Labor Day potluck and they were simply devoured! I got so, so many compliments on them. We put them in the freezer for a couple of hours before serving and it really gave the mint flavor a kick!

Vegetarian Meatloaf with Vegetables

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2007

This was delicious, and a big hit with my meat eating husband. I also used the ketchup/brown sugar sauce on top and cooked it in a loaf pan without the vegetables. I will definitely make this again. My only complaint is that the loaf was very crumbly -- we had to use a spoon to get it out. Maybe I should add another egg next time?
