Favorite Banana Blueberry Quick Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2012

Like many other people, I made some changes: 3/4 cup fresh blueberries, 1.5 cup flour, 1/4 cup oatbran, 1/4 cup margarine, 1/4 cup pumpkin puree, 2/3 cup sugar, 1/4 tsp allspice, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp banana flavoring. Made 16 muffins. Baked 20 minutes. Very tasty. Banana flavoring brings out the taste of the bananas.

Date Nut Loaf Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2011

Very good loaf. I cut sugar to 3/4 cup, exchange 1/4 cup water with Captain Morgan Spiced Rum which I marinated the dates in for a couple hours, used 2 tsp rum flavor instead of vanilla. Also cut back the butter a bit, maybe 2 tablespoons. Baked for 40 minutes. Turned out very moist & tasty. When cooking the dates, don't allow all the liquid to cook out. Bring them to boil, stir in sugar & butter, then remove from stove. Makes for moist loaf.

Basic Pizza Crust

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2011

Really good, easy to make dough. Dissolve sugar in the warm water prior to adding yeast. For more flavorful dough, add more salt and spices like onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, thyme. I also kneaded the dough for a few minutes prior to resting it. Turned out very good. Will use recipe again.

Cantaloupe Bread with Praline Glaze

Reviewed: Mar. 15, 2011

After reading reviews, I cut oil to 1/2 cup, reduced sugar to 1.5 cups, increased pureed cantaloupe to 2.5 cups, exchanged vanilla extract with lemon extract, added about 1 tsp orange zest, 1 tsp lemon zest and 2 tbsp poppyseeds just for fun. Skipped icing. Bake in bundt pan for about an hour. Really moist cake, interesting taste.

NY Style Rye Crackers

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2011

Recipe has lots of room for variations. Can use different herbs & spices, make them salty or sweet, thick or thin. I used 1 cup rice flour, 1 cup all purpose, coconut oil & canola oil totalling 1/3 cup, no caraway or honey, a pinch of dill, basil and coriander and sprinkle cracked pepper on some. I found I needed to add more water than the recipe calls for and would cut the salt in 1/2. Overall, these were tasty.

Caramel Popcorn

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2011

I too have been using this recipe for years. It's very important to use butter not margarine. Margarine has too much water in it. Instead of vanilla, I've used rum flavour. I've also used maple flavour. Both are excellent. As I use salted butter, I do not add any additional salt. When I bake it, I line my sheets with parchment paper. Makes stirring and clean-up easy.

Pumpkin Bread IV

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2008

Very tasty!! Like other reviewers suggested, both sugar and oil can be cut back. I made this recipe into muffins (bake at 350 for about 18 minutes). Next time I make this, I think I'll add some chopped walnuts and some sunflower seeds. Thanks for the recipe!

Almond Lemon Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2008

This is a very delicious way to prepare chicken. I took the advice of other reviewers and cut the oil way back, added white wine to the marinade and allowed the chicken to marinade for more than the hour suggested. For the almonds, I just sprinkled a little bit of chopped almonds on top of the chicken then baked the chicken in a 350 degree oven until cooked. I skipped adding orange marmalade because I didn't have any. Chicken turned out very juicy and tender. Will definitely make again.

Henry and Maudie's Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2008

I took the advice of other reviewers and cut back sugar. Wish I would have also cut back water because after a day of being in a container, these became very soggy. I agree with the others who said there are better oatmeal cookie recipes and I too do not understand how you get 60 cookies from this recipe.
