Outrageous Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2010

These cookies are phenomenal. I love the texture--chewy on the inside, crisp on the outside, and they don't spread! The peanut butter taste is subtle and the oatmeal just adds a bit of interest. I may try adding more oatmeal next time for a more oatmeal-y chocolate chip cookie, but overall this recipe is a keeper.

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009

I liked this recipe, although I found it a bit too sweet for my taste. I may take the advice of other reviewers and tone down the sugar to 2 cups, and/or use a white/brown sugar blend. Otherwise, great flavors and a wonderful texture! Oh, and it actually does taste even better the day--or two--after you bake it. I'll try this again.

Veggie Stir-Fry

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2009

Great starter recipe! I was also surprised by how good this was. I used all the veggies I had on hand--zucchini, cabbage, bell pepper, snap peas, carrots--along with some chicken which made it a satisfying dinner. I may follow the advice of other reviews next time and add some spices like ginger to complicate the flavors.

Chantal's New York Cheesecake

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2009

This is a good standard NY cheesecake recipe. Good flavors, but nothing that exciting. It was a little too heavy for my taste, but others like a denser cheesecake. I didn't like the crumb crust recipe at all--it was less a crust than dry crushed graham crackers at the bottom of my cheesecake. Look for a more standard graham cracker crust recipe.

French Toast I

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2009

Very good basic french toast recipe. It was a little milk-heavy though; be careful how long you soak the bread so it doesn't get soggy/take a long time to cook. But overall good flavors--really liked the addition of vanilla.

Lemon Blueberry Drop Scones

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2009

Everyone who reviewed these are right--they are more like muffin tops than scones. They were still quite enjoyable. I would have taken them out of the oven a bit sooner (13 minutes maybe), and added a bit more blueberries. The lemon zest icing was quite good also.
