Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2011

The BEST! I used a lemon and its zest instead of extract. Not too overpowering. Only used 2 cups sugar and it was sweet enough.

Baked Chicken Wings

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2010

They were definitely crispy and moist, but I don't think they had much flavor at all. And I know chicken wings are messy, but for me these were a little too sticky.

Reviewed: Jul. 19, 2010

This is amazing stuff! I added a couple of tomatoes, but I can see it being delicious without.

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2010

Very tasty but iIt was really hard to work with this dough. My sticks looked lumpy and out of shape.

Potato Chips

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2010

Surprisingly tasty! I used salt on the first batch and garlic salt on the second - the garlic salt is awesome. Mine took 4 min exactly - 2 on one side, 2 on the other. Anything longer burnt them.

whoa! I couldn't figure out how to set the power level on the microwave I was using, so I just set it at high after the initial 2 minutes. 2 minutes later = RICE PUDDING VOLCANO. It wasn't very pudding-y and it was a bit eggy, probably because of the setting. Still it was tasty enough that I will try this again with the right power level once I am back on my own microwave.

Spinach Salad with Honey Dressing

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2010

Yummy salad dressing. I made a similar salad - 1 apple, diced, a head of romaine, some grated carrot. This salad dressing is a little oily, but it's a good flavor and it's somewhat light. It doesn't over power the salad. I used 6 packets of sweet n low to make it a little more diet friendly (that's like 1/4 cup sugar).

President Ford's Braised Eye Round Steak

Reviewed: Feb. 11, 2010

Pretty tasty! Used white wine and beef broth, it was fine. I agree that the seasoning salt is too salty. I'd either use low sodium kind or sub with your own seasoning blend.

Spanish Rice I

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2010

Decent. I didn't have regular rice or would have made my usual spanish rice recipe. A little sweet.

Authentic Mexican Tortillas

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2010

Not bad. The thinner they're rolled the better. Best heated up...can tend to get floury if too thick.

Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meat Loaf

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2010

Finally, a meat loaf recipe. Halved this recipe to cook for two. Also used onion soup mix and omitted salt, although I sprinkled some S&P on towards the end. Left out brown sugar and added drop of liquid smoke. It definitely doesn't take 5 to 6 hours...more like 2 or 3. Might have to play around with it to get it the way we like but it's a great start!

Black Bean and Salsa Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2010

Ahhhh I thoroughly enjoyed this. Didn't have salsa so I used a can of diced tomatoes with bell pepper & onion, added 1/4 cup chopped onion and some garlic powder. I used beef broth and some grease from a hamburger we made...that gave it a good rich flavor. Garnished with corn chips and feta. I'm going to add this to my soup rotation!

Indian Chapati Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2010

Excellent. It's like a tortilla, but with a more wholesome flavor and texture. The hotter the pan/griddle the better!

Baked Tortilla Chips

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2010

Very nice! You don't have to use a mister, a marinating brush worked well (although it would be faster than the brush). Here's a cracker tip: the chips will crisp up if you let them sit in a heat-proof container above the oven vent, uncovered. Don't eat them hot right out of the oven...store bought tortillas are not thin enough for that.

Roasted Red Potato Salad

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2010

Tasty, a good basic recipe you can easily modify. I read other reviews - tossed my taters in 1/4 c olive oil, 1 tsp garlic salt/paprika/rosemary, and 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Didn't have all mayo so it was a mix of mayo/sour cream. I also added a tsp of the gormet basil blend. Some mustard would be good, or perhaps some chopped red peppers/pimentos for color. Almost couldn't wait for it to cool down!

Easy Lemon Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 24, 2010

Not bad at all. Its so easy it's almost not fair. Chilling the dough for a few hours was a good idea. Also, I think lemon cake and lemon extract is overdoing it. A 1/4 tsp almond extract and the zest of half a lemon is what I added and I thought the lemon flavor was just right if not a little strong. Subtlety! Subtlety, America! *Update* These tasted better after crisping in a tupperware container. They taste like a brand of cookies you can buy, the mother's cookies with frosting and sprinkles.

Creamy PHILADELPHIA Penne Pasta with Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2010

Solid base recipe. I almost doubled the sauce, used 1 roasted red pepper (chopped) and added about 1 1/2 cups peas. Didn't use olives. Used spaghetti. Pretty tasty! The peppers gave it a nice rosy color.

Morning Glory Muffins I

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2009

Excellent! I made some changes but they wouldn't drastically change the recipe. Half wheat/all purpose, half raisins/craisins, 1 c applesauce for butter and oil, 1 c splenda and 1/4 c brown sugar. No walnuts. 1 large carrot yields 1 c shredded. It was very dry so I had to add like 1/4 cup buttermilk at the end.

Pumpkin Fritters

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2009

Not bad! They're soft and plump like the description says. I think a bit of cinnamon would do well...or you could make them sugary.

Hamburger Buns

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2009

Amazing! You don't have to heat your milk/water/butter/sugar up very much to activate the yeast, although if you're worried about the freshness of your yeast be safe and proof according to directions. When it comes to kneading, you don't really have to work hard. Just knead it lightly until it is homogeneous, then press into a square, fold as you would a letter, then fold again the same way and flip it over, seam down. You can let it rise and do this again, but not necessary. I cut this in half and made 4 hoagie rolls with it. Brilliant!
