California Italian Wedding Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2009

This was fabulous, reminded me of my Italian routes! I couldn't find the traditional pasta, so I used orzo. Will make this again and again.

I followed this recipe and added a few changes for more flavor and was not that impressed. I added fresh garlic and some sea salt and pepper. I used all organic ingredients, which are pricier and was disappointed at the result. After reading others reviews, I have to agree that the soup goes wrong with the addition of the beer. My soup had a very strong beer flavor. This is a good base for a soup, but next time I would use chicken stock and and skip the taco seasoning and use my own seasons that are more fresh. There are much better recipes out there for this type of soup.

Chocolate Pound Cake III

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2008

This cake is absolutely fab, but a little rich the way it is described. I didn't have 5 eggs so I used three, and instead of using 3 sticks of butter I only used 2 trying to be a little figure friendly! I baked for about an hour and a half in a gas oven at the suggested temp. My cake turned out great even with the changes. I served with chocolate sauce and raspberries. MMMM!

Doggie Treats II

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2008

This recipe is great, and very easy. Instead of plain cornmeal I used a jiffy mix that I had a on hand. My mixture was a little moist so I needed to add additional flour. Other than these few small changes this recipe is fantastic as is. My german shepherd loves them!
