Made EXACTLY as written, the first time, in a bunt pan - it was AWESOME. my husband is severely allergic to milk/lactose so i had been looking for a half decent non dairy cake recipe for a while. It was a huge hit and he scoffed it all up in no time. The Second time I made a few changes - not because there was anything wrong with the recipe, but because my baby daughter loved it so I wanted to make it healthier for her: a) I used all whole wheat flour b) subbed half apple sauce for oil c) reduced sugar by half.... the result was still loved by all!

Fiery Pork Skewers

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2009

My husband raved about this marinade! I used it on a pork chop I had and baked it in the oven after marinating for about 4-5 hours. Aside from the method of cooking I made the marinade to the letter and apparently it was delicious!

Coffee Marinated Steak

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2009

Went down well with the hubby - I'm a vegan myself so didn't eat it but I marinated top flank steak for almost 48 hrs and it was tender, juicy and (apparently) very yummy...I have boneless ribs marinating in it right now!

Portobello Mushroom Burgers

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2009

Made exactly as the recipe stated... I was STUNNED by how amazing these were!!!! Used Orowheat Sandwich Pita Thins with lettuce, tomato & cheese with vegan mayo. Unbelievable. I'm already planning to make them again tomorrow; even my carnivore hubby wants to try them after seeing my reaction to them. Sooooo fricking good it hurts! NEXT DAY: Ok so I made these again, thinking yesterday might have been a fluke or something and my hubby wanted to try them. This time I marinated the shrooms in the mixture for a couple of hours before grilling and they were just perfect. 8 mins each side over a medium - high heat was spot on, and my carnivorous husband proclaimed them to be JUST LIKE MEAT! High praise indeed. I served them with a salad and the Grilled Broccoli also from this site. Hubby was so satisfied afterwords he didn't even register that he had eaten a 100% vegetarian meal for dinner. YUM YUM YUM!

Ultimate Twice Baked Potatoes

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2007

These are soooo good, my finace gets all giddy whenever I make these! When I'm trying to get something other than beer & red meat into him, I also add some tuna in there - it might sound wierd, but it tastes great! I also found that brushing the potatoes with a little olive oil and then sprinkling a bit of salt, pepper or other seasoning on them (rosemary works well) before baking makes for a really crisp, savory skin that is a little easier to scoop out. Thanks for a great recipe!

Marie's Easy Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2007

Really enjoyed this, my construction working fiance & his friends practically inhaled this! I did replace the water with beer and added a little beef boullion... my bloke was overjoyed to find a new way to get beer into his system and it gave it an amazing flavor! There were no leftovers at all.
