Loved this recipe - so moist, and good flavor! There were only 2 people to feed, so I cut every ingredient exactly in half, except for the apples. I had one large green apple, which came out to over 1 cup when chopped. I took the advice of a couple other reviewers, and used butter instead of shortening. I also cut a large wedge of my apple into thin slices, and layered the slices in the middle of the batter. I baked it in a glass pyrex dish, so it required about 40 minutes total bake time.

Shrimp and Peanut Butter Noodles

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2011

This was so easy and quick, and the sauce is fabulous! I have tried several other variations on home-made peanut sauce, but this was the best. I only had rice sticks on hand, not udon noodles, so I cooked them separate from everything else because they cook so quickly. Since I was tossing everything else into my wok (you can use any large pan), I added a little oil, cooked the shrimp, removed them, then sauteed onion, mushrooms, and the broccoli. I added 2 cloves of garlic. I kept the sauce was exactly as the recipe, except I used 1/2 chili oil and 1/2 sesame oil, but didnt use a whole tablespoon because I had added oil to the sautee pan. A tip for people who have a lot of soy sauce packets left over from take-out nights: one packet = approx 1 tablespoon. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Pasta With Tuna Sauce

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2011

This was very easy and tasty! I modified a bit, hence the 4 stars: I added a big splash of sherry when the onions and garlic were soft, and I stirred in some cream when I put the tuna in. I only had 1/2 pound of angel hair pasta on hand, but it was the perfect amount! I also sprinkled lemon zest and parmesan cheese over my plate.

Cranberry Hootycreeks

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2010

These are delicious!! I sent these to my brother's family for the holidays, and the kids were reported to be dancing around the house saying "hoo-ty-creeks! Hoo-ty-creeks!". The ingredients don't fit snugly in the jar, so don't pack too tightly. However, I've never received a complaint from the taste-testers!

Best Yet Turkey Chili

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2010

This is a great recipe base to modify for tastes! I added salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of oregano to the turkey meat, along with double the amount of the other dry ingredients (except cinnamon, which I added later.) When the meat was almost done, I added 1 diced onion, 2 cloves of garlic, and a sliced jalapeno. I pushed the turkey to the sides of the pot and created a roux (some flour cooked with with oil) to thicken the sauce, then added everything else. I wanted to add more dimension, so I added a cup of leftover coffee, a dash each of liquid smoke and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer to concentrate flavors! For picky kids: my co-worker said that she always adds macaroni noodles to chili so her kids will eat it.

Moroccan Tagine

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2009

The recipe is great! I had 4 skinless chicken thighs and a large squash (recipe calls for a small one), so I varied it a bit: I browned the thighs (6 min each side), then set them aside on a plate. In the same large pot, I started sauteing the onion and garlic with 1 tsp cumin to release the flavors, then added the broth to de-glaze the pot, scraping up the brown bits before adding everything. I also added a bay leaf, fresh ginger, ground black pepper and dashes of nutmeg and cinnamon. I doubled the broth (the added salt helped the flavors to pop), simmered everything for about 45 mins, and the chicken fell off the bone at the end! I served over rice.

Strange Flavor Eggplant Spread

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2009

This was very tasty! Like other reviewers, I was going to cut out the sugar, but still used 1/2 tablespoon because I splashed in a bit too much vinegar. I spread this on pita flat bread, and topped with feta, chopped tomatoes, and cilantro. My friend added a little extra salt and pepper and crushed black olives. Will definitely make this again.

Honey Curried Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2008

Very easy and tasty! If you use fresh mushrooms, add 1/4 tsp of salt (the canned mushrooms usually have salt added.) I also added a clove of garlic and some red pepper flakes (just can't live without them!)
