This is so easy and delicious! I just made it for the second time. The first time I had it on rice, but this time I'm having it on greens. The combo of the chili powder and curry paste can make it pretty spicy, though, so plan accordingly.

Angie's Perfect Dinner Rolls

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2010

I just made these for my family tonight and they were a huge hit! I was concerned at first because my milk cooled down quickly and the yeast didn't seem to be proofing properly, but I forged ahead and they ended up rising amazingly quickly. I did have some trouble rolling them into balls and will pay more attention when adding the flour next time (I lost track of my measurements and guessed.), but I just kept flouring my hands well as I rolled them and it worked out fine. Everyone said they were perfect and rivaled our great aunt's whose dinner rolls are legendary in our family. I'll definitely be making these again. Thanks, Angie! :o)

Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2010

I used this recipe to make vegetable pot pie, substituting vegetables for the chicken and vegetable broth for the chicken broth. It turned out delicious and I'm about to make it for the second time. Yay!

Whole Grain Waffles

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2009

I just made these for myself and my housemate. I made the following substitutions: for the pastry flour I just used regular whole wheat flour, for the milk I substituted homemade almond milk (almonds and water blended), for the wheat germ I substituted oats and for the applesauce I substituted mashed pear. I used all the same amounts. I found that, probably because of the water and juicy mashed pear, I had to cook these a little longer so they weren't mushy inside. Still, when they came out of the waffle iron my housemate and I both agreed they were delicious! They've got a great flavor and richness without being heavy. I'll definitely make these again! For a topping, I mixed the remaining mashed pear with some crushed pieces of almond and a bit of powdered sugar. I think this made the waffles shine even more than regular syrup!

The Best Thai Coconut Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2009

This tastes very good. The flavors all mesh well. Though I didn't have any lemongrass, I'm sure it would have been great in it. The one thing I'll say is that it's much thicker than I'd expected. It doesn't seem so much like a soup I'd eat on its own, but would be great over rice (as I now see is mentioned in the description). So, my rice is cooking and then I'm going to enjoy!

Cream of Mushroom Soup I

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2009

I just made this soup and it's delicious! It's not as mushroomy as it might have been had I adjusted everything to match the fact that I only had about 3 1/2 cups of mushrooms, but even with the shortage it tastes good!

Jamaican Burgers

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2009

I'm giving these five stars because I'm confident that they would be delicious and perfect if I hadn't messed them up. :o) I used sticky short-grain rice because it's all I had and I think that made them more dense and gooey than they're meant to be, so they didn't cook through all the way. Med-High was also too high for my stove, so people might consider that if yours seem to be burning before they're cooked through. I didn't have allspice or nutmeg, but I put cinnamon, cloves and a bit of black pepper in their place and they turned out great flavor-wise.

Beth's Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2006

These cookies were a big hit. The only criticism I got from my "taste-testers" was that they wanted more raisins! The spice was just right and they were nice and chewy even after they cooled.

Bob Andy Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2006

This pie was amazing! I got a little carried away with mixing the filling and ended up having a crusty sugar froth on top, but it was easily peeled off as it cooled. Next time I'll be more careful with my mixing.

Easy Oatmeal Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2006

These muffins were delicious! I've made several batches now and every time they come out moist inside and slightly crunchy on the top. I've added several different things for flavor (candied ginger, lemon, banana, nuts...) and I've also just made them plain. Every time they've been gobbled up. If you want something sweet, I suggest increasing the sugar, but I think they're great as is.
