Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2012

I like it better with half applesauce, half oil. Delicious!

Once I got over the idea that these are not supposed to taste like chocolate chip cookies, I found that I liked them pretty well. My husband LOVED them. My main concern is that there's a bit of a fake taste in them. Fortunately, tons of chocolate chips helped cover it up. : ) I did add a little bit of water before adding the chocolate chips because it was too pasty. I think I'd make these again.

Shrimp Fettucine Alfredo

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2011

I tried this for a bunch of friends the other night (and doubled the recipe), and I had mostly good reviews. While I liked it pretty well, I felt like something was missing, and am wondering if I should've included more Parmesan cheese than the recipe called for. It was quick and easy, though, and I think I'll try to perfect it.

Best Brownies

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2010

I love these brownies. I follow the recipe exactly and wouldn't change a thing. Except you do need to lick the spoon once the brownies are in the oven. : )

Rich Chocolate Frosting

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2009

I felt like this took forever to make (it was my first time making my own frosting, so I was comparing it to opening a can of fake stuff), and I had to add the milk earlier than the recipe called for because my mixer was practically crying, but man, did I love this frosting. I would seriously eat it plain if I didn't feel like it would make me a worse human being. Thanks so much for the recipe!

Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2009

Terrific! I added extra chocolate chips and substituted milk for yogurt (didn't have any), and they were fantastic. I'll definitely make them again.

Hockey Pucks

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2009

Everyone liked these! I used low sodium Ritz crackers and thought they were perfect. The only problem was coating the sandwiches in chocolate - it took FOREVER. But it's worth it, and I'll definitely make them again.

Easy Iced Coffee

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2009

I found this to be WAYYYY too strong, even after I put it in a tall glass with tons of ice and milk AND adding a healthy portion of chocolate syrup (and whipped cream, of course). I think I'll make it with one teaspoon - or even half of a teaspoon - next time. It is handy to have a quick iced coffee recipe that doesn't require a blender. Thanks!

Shrimp Durango

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2009

My grandmother and I very much enjoyed this recipe. I added the 2 cloves of garlic, as suggested by other reviewers, and would not want to make it without them. I'll definitely make this again! It was easy and tasty.

Chocolate Crinkles II

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2009

SO good! Although it's funny - I wasn't crazy about them right out of the oven, but when I ate some the next day, I nearly swooned. Oh, and I also added two semi-sweet chocolate chips to the center of each ball of dough, then topped each finished cookie with two more chocolate chips, which kind of made them look like round ghost cookies. Delicious!

Baked Spaghetti

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2009

I thought this was quite tasty, but not fall-over-myself delicious. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll also be sure to have enough mozzarella so I don't have to substitute cheddar (although that's not the reason for only four stars, it's just a heads-up that the cheddar tastes a little funky with this recipe).

Fruit Dip II

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2009

I thought this dip was only okay, but several people at the baby shower raved about it. I think I would prefer it if I didn't follow the advice of using strawberry cream cheese; I thought it made it taste fake and sickeningly sweet. I think I'll try it again, but with plain cream cheese. But hey, four stars for making me look good at the party. : ) UPDATE: I tried this again with plain cream cheese (still with a splash of OJ), and it is FANTASTIC. It's SO much better than with the strawberry! Thanks for the recipe!

Roasted Cajun Potatoes

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2009

I tried these on three friends tonight, and we all loved them. They were spicy without being overwhelming and really easy to make. I had to keep them in the oven longer than the recipe called for, but I'm not sure how long it ended up being because we had to adjust the oven temp for the chicken. I'll definitely make this often. Thank you!

Simple Grilled Lamb Chops

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2008

This marinade had a particular tang that I didn't care for. To be fair, I am pregnant, so maybe that had something to do with my intense dislike. I also had to broil the lamb much longer than the recipe stated before it was anywhere near edible. All in all, I was pretty disappointed and probably would not make it again, but I gave it 3 stars to give it the benefit of the (pregnancy) doubt.

English Royalty Chocolate Chip Scones

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2008

I had never baked (or eaten) scones before, so I didn't know what to expect. I would describe these as incredibly dense, orange-flavored chocolate chip cookies that, for some reason, remind me of Christmas. Other than cutting in the butter (which took forever), they were easy to make. I did add more orange juice, as recommended, and also about 1/4 c. of extra chocolate chips. The only problem I had was figuring out when they were cooked; I had assumed they would turn golden brown, like cookies, but they don't! I left my first batch in too long and the bottoms burned. Other than that, I loved the recipe and will definitely make these again. Thanks!

Easy Ice Cream Sandwiches

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2008

These were delicious and actually quite simple. Just make sure your ice cream isn't too soupy while you're forming the sandwiches or you'll have a mess on your hands. I've made these twice now and had great reviews both times. I'll definitely make them again. Thanks!
