Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2011
Excellent! I was skeptical when the dough came out real sticky but I trusted the recipe and glad I did. I substituted dried sour cherries...oh my goodness!! I love the sweet, tart and salty combination!

Mary's Pecan Crusted Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2010
After reading the reviews I made a couple of modifications. Sugar in the crust maybe the cause of all the 'burning' combined with high heat. First I pounded out the chicken into thin 1/2 inch pieces. I used 'ground' not chopped pecans for a crust that stuck when coated. Just grind pecans in food processor. I added 1/4tsp ground ginger and eliminated the sugar. I also just brown the chickens on both sides in a med-high pan then finish chicken off in a 350 degrees F oven for about 15-20 min (depending on thickness of chicken). For a finish I made a Honey-Dijon glaze...yummy. 1/2 cup chicken broth, 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard and 1 tsp fresh ground ginger. Combine in sauce pan and bring to boil, continue on med-high heat until mixture has reduced by 1/2. Spoon lightly over chicken prior to serving...it will thicken as it cools so make ahead if you like a thicker sauce.

Tiramisu II

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2010
Wow...really, really tasty! Made this 2 days before serving to allow flavors to come together. I made this in a springform pan. I lined the sides of the pan with parchement paper, so that the cream wouldn't stick to the sides. Just before serving, I pull the paper away to reveal a perfect round cake...it was super easy for cutting and looked better for my entertaining purposes. I too (like the other reviewers) doubled the coffee/rum mixture. Do use the hard ladyfingers with no worries...once they are (quickly) dunked in coffee mixture then layered with cream they will soften! My Italian friends agreed that this was as authentic as Tiramisu gets...not overly sweet but good coffee flavor. Will definitely try again!

Eggplant Parmesan II

Reviewed: Jun. 30, 2009
Mine turned out amazing! All the family loved it and much better than any restaurant eggplant parm! A few modifications: 1. DO spinkle with salt before using as other reviewers have suggested. Rinse with cold water after 30min. 2. DO pat dry. 3. DIP each slice of eggplant in flour PRIOR to egg wash, then bread with PANKO breadcrumbs (these specialty crumbs are much crisper than regular crumbs). Mix 3 cups PANKO crumbs, 1 tsp pepper, 2 tsp salt, 1/2 grated parm or padano cheese and zest of 1 lemon. Use this as your breading, much more flavor. 3. Bake for 10 min @ 350 C, turn over and bake for another 10 min. Then bake at 400 C for 15-20 min until golden brown. 4. Layer with sauce and cheese. In middle layer add fresh basil finely chopped. Enjoy!

Caramel Apple Jam

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2009
Delicious! I also made a few modifications. I used 1 and 1/4 c unsweetened apple juice. Also I blended the apples (left a few chunks for aesthetic appeal). Other than that followed the recipe exactly. We love it..thanks for sharing!

BAKER'S Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Reviewed: May 31, 2009
Yum, yum, yum! Awesome cookies. Super moist and soft. Only 1 substitution, I used 4 ounces chocolate CHIPS, and 2 ounces peanut butter chips instead of the bakers semisweet chunks. Perfect cookie!

Marbled Pumpkin Cheesecake

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2008
This was wonderful. I altered the crumb recipe by using ginger cookies, shortbread and 1 tsp cinnomon and 1/4 tsp ground ginger. I then lined muffin tins with muffin liners and filled with crust which I baked for approx 10 min. Then I spooned the mixture into the cups. Made about 18 mini cheesecakes. Perfect for my entertaining purposes. Will definately make again.

Teri Tips

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2008
I love this recipe. We've had a few 'just appetizer' nights with friends and everyone loves these. I make a dijon/horseradish sauce (2 tbsps dijon to 1 tbsp horseradish) spread on crostini then topped with beef. Also, my preference is to substitute brown sugar for white sugar. Excellent

Peppermint Chocolate Fudge

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2007
After reading the reviews about this recipe not being 'minty' enough, I used MINT chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips AND 1/2 tsp of mint extract. Turned out to be excellent with the right amount of mint!

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2006
This is an excellent banana bread! We love maple syrups so I mixed 1/2 tsp cornstarch and 1/2 cup maple syrup and microwaved for 2 min to make a delicious glaze that I brush over the bread.
