Reviewed: May 21, 2012

I didn't have white balsamic vinegar so I just omitted it...it still turned out great! Love the crunch of the jicama!

I was not a fan of this, but not due to the recipe. I think I just do not like this type of cake. My husband however, loved it! I added strawberries and this made it more appealing to me. I think I will make it again, this time adding more strawberries throughout instead of just as topping.

Awesome! I used low fat yogurt instead of mayo and this turned out wonderful!!! It fit perfectly in a 8x8 pyrex dish.

Non-Alcoholic Margarita Punch

Reviewed: May 6, 2012

These were a super big hit! I followed the recipe exactly using a food processor to "crush" the ice....made a perfect consistency. I also used lemon-lime flavored seltzer.

This is the 2nd Passover I have used this recipe. I used the apples that were on sale this time (fuji last time) and it still tastes great!

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2012

Even though I substituted butter for shortening I still loved these. Yes they came out flat due to the substitution, but they were still chewy, moist and delicious!

Grain and Nut Whole Wheat Pancakes

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2012

I followed previous reviewers' advice and doubled the egg, used applesauce instead of oil, and lemon juice and 2% milk in place of buttermilk. Also added cinnamon and vanilla. Much healthier and so yummy!!! Also I didn't grind down the oatmeal. Still came out fine.

Sugarless Banana Walnut Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2012

Made this for baby's first bday. To other reviewers who claim it is not sweet enough...make sure your bananas are VERY ripe! This will sweeten it up. Also, I made a banana glaze to put on top and this added some extra yum. Like others, we used blueberries instead of nuts. A big hit in my house!

Szechwan Shrimp

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2012

Debdoozie's Blue Ribbon Chili

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2011

I used leftover Thanksgiving turkey instead of ground beef and it still turned out wonderful! Other healthy substitutes include low sodium kidney beans and garlic powder instead of garlic salt. I am a spice baby and this has a lot of kick so if you have a delicate tongue i recommend mild instead of medium picante sauce. Fantastico!

One-Dish Chicken, Vegetable and Rice Bake

Reviewed: May 18, 2011

Yum! I made mine with cauliflower and broccoli. Next time I will try to use my own seasonings instead of the rice packet to try to decrease the amount of sodium.
