AWESOME! So much better thank Bisquick! I ran out of cream of tartar so I didn't use it but they still turned out PERFECT!

Fast and Easy Pancakes

Reviewed: May 23, 2011

Followed directions exactly with the exception of the type of oil used. I used safflower oil instead of vegetable. Safflower has a higher burning point.

I love the concept of this quick cookie! I made a few very slight changes though. I added a tsp of vanilla, replaced 1 c sugar with 1 c splenda. Added 2 tbs maple syrup and 1 tbs unsweetend cocoa powder and 1/2 tsp coffee. I also lightly dusted with powdered sugar. I used Adams natural peanut butter. THe slight changes made it not so peanut buttery and the cocoa powder binded it more. I made sure to cool on baking sheet before moving to my cooling rack. THEY WERE AMAZING for the short amount of time it took to whip them up! My toddler had fun!

Black Bean Brownies

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2010

AMAZING! I made two batches for my family of 6 and they were GONE IN A DAY! Instead of sugar I used a combo of splenda and Agave nectar though. And I lightly dusted with powdered sugar. My VERY PICKY two year old gobbled them up!! I couldn't believe it bc I can't get him to eat anything!

Ube-Macapuno Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2010

This was my first sponge cake. I decided to use the batter to make a roll. It was light, moist and spongy. Perfect batter. I sifted flour first, then measured. I added shredded coconut on top and coconut extract to frosting. I used 1/2 the liquid in the frosting and had to add more sugar. I also used frozen taro puree that I picked up in my local Asian market to save time. My entire family loved this cake! The only thing that needed improvement was the frosting.

Palitaw (Sweet Rice Cakes)

Reviewed: May 11, 2010

I liked how simple and inexpensive it was to make these. Just like the ones I buy from my local Asian grocery store. I did have to add more flour for a thicker consistency and I did not ball them in my hand. I used a melon baller, scooped them into boiling water then stretched them after they were cooked, as I did a coating of coconut. I would also modify and use 1/4 tsp salt rather than 1 tsp. It was too salty for my taste. After modifying the recipe they were great though! Reminds me of the treats mama would buy for me in the fish market when I was growing up :)

Apple Orange Bread

Reviewed: May 11, 2010

I liked this recipe. I did subsitute 2 cups whole wheat flour and did a half white half whole wheat flour mixture. I also used 1 cups brown sugar and did half brown sugar half white sugar mixture. My two year old loved it! I like the simple fresh flavor of just citrus, so I just used oranges and lemon extract. The shortening tends to make the outside of the bread hard and crunchy, but the inside is moist.

Conchas (Mexican Sweet Bread)

Reviewed: May 4, 2010

I thought the recipe should have included letting the yeast bloom and foam in the warm water for a few minutes before adding the other ingredients. The first time I tried the recipe the dough wouldn't rise. It also needed to included temperature of liquid. I warmed the milk a little so that the yeast could bloom. I had to add a little extra milk. I think if one really knows the science behind bread and yeast it could be a great recipe but for someone that has little to no experience with yeast breads it could be a waste of time and money.

This recipe was perfect, as is, for us! So quick and easy! Wasn't dry at all and it was light. Next time I might add some fruit topping and cream cheese frosting drizzle

Microwave Mochi

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2009

So easy! I added coconut extract and hydrated purple yam powder! Corn starch worked just as well and I left out the vinegar. My kids love this treat. Especially my one year old. I had to let it cool before rolling into a ball. So sticky.

Fresh Blueberry Pie II

I followed this recipe exactly and it turned out so yummy with the fresh blueberries! I am just confused as to how to put the lattice on top since the pie did not finish in the oven.

Crispy and Creamy Doughnuts

I made this with my kids. They had so much fun making them. My daughter said they were the best doughnuts she ever had. I ran out of milk so I had to use the rest of my fat free half and half and vanilla soy milk. Yummy!

Angel Salad

Reviewed: May 20, 2009

Very good. My 11 year old daughter made this for me for Mother's Day! She did a great job. I would have left out the celery and added mandarin orange instead. Everyone picked out the celery. It was a bit bitter but we liked the crunch.
