Fluffy Canadian Pancakes

Reviewed: Jul. 21, 2010

These have the perfect texture and we didn't think they were too eggy. They could use a little something, though, I might try it with buttermilk next time.

Chicken Parmesan Casserole

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2010

Made as instructed, but with penne and a can of tomatoes in addition to the sauce. It was edible pretty bland. I probably won't make this again.

I've made this twice -- the first time it came out very thick, but delicious. My US to metric conversion may have been off, so that could have been my fault. The second time I added extra tomato juice and it was more soup-like, and still delicious. I used sliced pork sausage instead of kielbasa because I couldn't find kielbasa in either of the tiny grocery stores near where I currently live in London. My flatmates demand it regularly.

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2009

This was excellent. I made it just as instructed, except I used low-fat mayo. I've also made with asiago cheese, which was awesome.

Applesauce-Oat Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009

These make a great breakfast. Mine came out more cakey than I was expecting, but still taste great. Kind of like breakfast bread.

Butternut Squash Risotto

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2009

This is excellent. I did roast the squash rather than steam. Roasted with allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg and seasoned heavily with pepper and a little salt. I also used asiago cheese because Publix was out of parm for some reason. Cut down to 3 cups veggie stock as some recommenders suggested. I've never made risotto before and the recipe was really easy to follow.

Stuffed Pepper Soup IV

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2009

Decent soup, but not exceptional. Consensus was that it was a little bland. Could have used more peppers.

Emily's Famous Chocolate Shortbread Cookies

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2009

These were pretty good, not as sweet as I'd expected. I took other reviewers advice and upped the cocoa powder -- maybe next time I'll not and see if they're any sweeter. I like my chocolate goods not as sweet (hence the 4 stars), but I married a sugar addict.

Cocktail Meatballs IV

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009

These are just like my grandma made. No one ever believed about the grape jelly. I did add about double the chili sauce.

Feta Cheese Foldovers

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009

Made these for a party and they went so fast I didn't actually get to eat any. Followed the recipe exactly. I've already had several repeat requests.

Black Bean and Rice Enchiladas

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009

This was delicious. I added pepper and onions because I had them on hand and needed to use them before they went bad. I missed the sauciness I usually associate with enchiladas and will probably try the enchilada sauce from the site, but the versatility of the leftovers made up for it. I served the leftovers over brown rice, in quesadillas, over tacos shells...

Quiche Lorraine I

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009

This was quite good. I didn't make my own pie crust -- I'm just not that energetic in the morning. It took a little longer to set up in the middle than the recipe said. Solid recipe overall. Will make again, maybe try some of the alterations mentioned in other reviews.

Perfect Baked Jerk Chicken

Cherry Pound Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009

Made this as my contribution for Thanksgiving dinner. I'm an alien and don't like pumpkin pie. I later made it for my dad's birthday, he loves cherries. Was delicious both times.

Chicken Stir-Fry

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009

This is a solid recipe. I used frozen veggies, thawed and drained. It was good, but I found it a bit bland. I'll likely make it again with more spices.

Pork Chile Rojo (Pulled Pork with Red Chile Sauce)

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2009

I had planned to rate this a 3, as it seemed a bit bland to me. But the reheated leftovers were so much better I had to give it another star. This was a solid meal. I'm going to experiment a bit with some more spices, but will definitely make again.
