California Grilled Veggie Sandwich

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2011

So good! The lemon-garlic mayo really makes it awesome! We "grilled" everything on our panini press and used ciabatta instead and it was a hit. Will definitely be in regular rotation for dinners!

Pumpkin Spice Cookie

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2011

These were definitely easy to make, but as written they are a little less sweet than I would like, and I even sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on the tops before baking. I think adding a cream cheese icing drizzle would do the trick. I also didn't like the spice cake mix as much as I thought I would, I may try these again using a cinnamon swirl cake mix or something and make an icing as well.

Chocolate Butter-Creme Frosting

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2011

This is one of the best frosting recipes I've tried! I doubled the recipe for a double layer 9 inch cake and it just barely covered it. My only complaint is that it was a little stiff, but I'll definitely use this recipe again and just try to tweak it so it's slightly creamier. All in all - VERY GOOD!!!

Pumpkin Pie Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2011

This was pretty good. It definitely gets very moist the day after baking, which gives it a great dense texture - I really liked it. But I even doubled (well, almost tripled!) the spice amount and added a little extra pumpkin and this still was lacking a little something. It was tastey, just not what I was expecting. Good use of random cans of pumpkin though!

Banana Cake V

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2011

I was not super impressed with this recipe, which was really disappointing given all the rave reviews! I wonder if my bananas may have been too overripe though - the reason we didn't love this is it was just too sweet. And it didn't turn out as dense as we would have liked either. Maybe I'll try it again with bananas that aren't black yet and see if that makes a difference.

Chocolate Zucchini Bread I

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2011

This was such a delicious way to use up my zucchinis! I goofed and only used 1 oz of chocolate but it still turned out amazingly yummy - I'm sure if I had used 2 oz it would have been even better! My husband and I gobbled both the loaves up within 3 days!

Extreme Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2009

THE BEST chocolate cake I have ever had, hands down. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out beautifully. So moist and dense, with a rich chocolate flavor that wasn't overly sweet. And the frosting was so light and creamy - I couldn't stop myself from eating it straight from the bowl! I will be making this recipe forever!

Chicken Tikka Masala

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2009

I found this exact same recipe years ago on allcooks.com.... anyways, it is absolutely my favorite recipe for Indian food. You cannot go wrong with it! (I agree, though, as written it is too much salt - I actually just don't add any and it works fine). Make sure you eat it with some warm naan!

Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2009

This was so easy and so GOOD! The sauce is so good, I am trying to think of all the other things I can use it on! Thank you for sharing - I would have never thought to use steak sauce, but it is THE perfect touch.

Apple Maple Crumble Pie

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2008

This was just soooo good! I've never made any kind of apple dessert on my own before, and this is definitely going to be my go-to from now on. I decided to toss my apple slices in a mixture of 1 tbsp. flour, 1 tbsp. brown sugar, and a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. Also, I used some very tart and crisp Courtland apples that blended perfectly with the sweet syrup (I used a lite "fake" syrup). I wouldn't omit the syrup unless you are using an already sweet apple, but even then I'd suggest just using a little - the flavor is very subtle but it still adds something. Delicious!!!!

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2008

AMAZING! I have always been a huge fan of banana bread and until now have always just used my bread recipe to make muffins - but from now on I will definitely be using this one! I added vanilla and cinnamon to the batter, and I only used 2 bananas (all I had) and it still turned out great! The topping is perfectly crunchy, just the way I like it!

Tartar Sauce I

Reviewed: May 30, 2008

This was SO simple and quick - and tasted great! I honestly never knew what tartar sauce actually consisted of, and I will be using this recipe for all my fish dishes now! Definitely doesn't have to be used with just fried fish - it was just fantastic on some salmon burgers I had purchased at the grocery store.
