Apple Sticky Buns

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2009

This recipe was an impulse for me... after inverting the buns, I knew it was a keeper... I think that the dough could tolerate more apple. I used 2 cups cause I wasn't brave enough to do more. I was disappointed in the lack of apple flavor- but that could have been the McIntosh apples that I used. Otherwise- wow is this amazing!! Not too sweet though which I really liked. A hit with everyone. Alright- tried the recipe again with a few mods that seem to impact it to the positive side. I added a MIN of 2 cups apples to the batter... and REALLY diced them. I added diced apples to the topping mixture with the nuts (about 1 cup), and made sure that when I dispensed the dough into the pan, the balls were walnut size. Awesome!

Cream Cheese Blueberry Pie

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2008

I doubled the cream cheese filling- I also really overheated the blueberry filling, but it still came out wonderful!! This recipe is simple and produces a wonderful pie- everyone loved it!!

Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2008

Very very very good- really around a 4.75. I added some crushed garlic to the batter and some extra cheddar (about 1/4 cup) which worked out well. I would add more cheese next time (I am a cheese addict!!)

Artichoke Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2008

I had some thawed chicken breasts in the fridge and felt like I wanted something new and different for dinner... I LOVE artichokes so I looked up this recipe and tried it... my boyfriend LOVED it- it was tasty and the chicken was really moist. I added a lot of cracked black pepper and a lot of fresh garlic too- good flavor and the artichokes were tender... Only took 20 minutes to prep so indeed this is a great during the week dish!!

Amazing Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2008

I baked the crust with a little olive oil first for about 15 minutes (until it was firm and golden!)... then added the toppings and baked again until the cheese was golden and bubbling. I have used this crust twice and cannot get enough of it! The extra bake time makes the crust crispy. Even though the crust is crispy, the inside is fluffy and light! AWESOME!

Barbecued Beef Brisket

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2008

I recommend not serving this to anyone who really likes barbecue- the sauce is way too much like ketchup. Otherwise- the cut of meat certainly deserves more than this recipe. Needs a little kick or spice!!

Spinach Brownies

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2008

Interesting concept- certainly a recipe to build upon. I added a little extra mozz cheese and some fresh garlic. Very tasty- good texture- but overall was missing something. I agree with another reviewer- this screamed bacon! The cheese selection could improve this quite a bit- maybe swiss or gruyere? Not a hit at dinner but certainly tasty.

Easy Key Lime Pie I

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2008

I followed some of the suggestions of other reviews such as reduced the egg yolks to 4 and increased the sweetend condensed milk to 2...I just wan't blown away by this pie and it was a little too sweet.

Walnut Brownie Pie

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2008

This recipe was a little dissapointing... the filling was too much like a brownie in a pie shell... I would like to see it more pie-like. I will not try this recipe again-

Asparagus Swiss Quiche

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2008

I was asked to bring a veggie dish to a family gathering recently and wanted to incorporate asparagus- This recipe is wonderful- the taste is amazing. I prepared the recipe as instructed and it came out perfect. Everyone loved it! Good cheese taste and the bacon wasn't overwhelming. I would like to substitute Gruyere cheese on the next trial. This is a keeper... good all day long!

Amazing Butternut Squash

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2007

I threw this recipe together for a last minute dinner party- I substituted Club crackers for the saltines (which probably didn't make a difference). I have a lot of squash critics and everyone loved this recipe- had good onion flavor- might add more parmesan next time around. I also baked it for about an hour... the texture was outstanding. I will add this one to my cookbook!!
