Everyone at Easter dinner loved this, but we made a few changes. We only used about 3/4 the recommended sugar and half the butter and left the topping off completely and it still came out very, very sweet. Definitely more of a dessert than a side dish. Next time I'll probably only use 1/4 of the recommended sugar, stick with 1/2 the recommended butter, and use a tiny bit of brown sugar for topping. I also took another reviewer's suggestion and cut the oranges completely in half, cut the pulp from the rind, and then scooped, which was really easy.

Sangria Ham

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2008

I made this for Easter dinner and it was a hit! My mother even took a copy of the recipe so she can start baking ham this way. I followed the recipe exactly and was very pleased with the results. Not too sweet, but very moist with good flavor.

Sweet Potato Pancakes

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2007

These had great flavor, but I agree with the reviewer who said they never really seemed to cook through. Still good, but the final consistency was more french toast than pancake. I might try baking the leftovers on low heat to see if they set better that way.

Honey Bran Muffins

Reviewed: May 2, 2007

I used stone-ground whole wheat flour, cut the brown sugar in half, and subbed chopped dates for raisins. As someone else said, this recipe is VERY forgiving and even with my changes it turned out great! I did add about 3/4 cup water to the chilled muffin mix before baking because the wheat flour dried it out.

Hawaiian Bread I

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2007

Great recipe! I made a couple of minor changes: I used coconut flakes and vanilla extract in place of the coconut extract. I also had to add about 1/4 cup water during the first kneading cycle because it was very dry. I used the sweet bread, 2 lb loaf setting on my machine. The bottom and sides of the crust are slightly burnt; probably should have used the 1.5 lb loaf setting instead. But inside, the bread is fluffy and delicious. It would be great for french toast!
