Chocolate Banana Bread

Reviewed: May 21, 2012

Very yummy and easy to make! I used 2 cups white wheat flour and 1 cup AP flour. I didn't have sour cream, so I used 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (1 - 4oz container Activia) and 1/2 cup half & half. Tasted great and nice to change up the regular banana bread! I made 6 mini loaves and two 8 x 4 1/2 in pans.

Cole Slaw

Reviewed: May 18, 2012

I loved it! I just used a bag of shredded cabbage and carrots, and did not use onions or green peppers(prefer cole slaw without them). Oops, I used regular vinegar and it tasted fine! My husband really liked it too (He is very picky)! I only made 1/2 C vinegar, 1/2 C veg. oil and 1/2 C sugar for a 16 oz bag.

Very yummy and so easy to make! I used up some fresh pineapple. Followed the recipe ingredients, added 1/2 tsp vanilla to batter and ommited cardamom(didn't use or have). The batter is very thick and it rose up nicely and was moist, sweet and delicious!

MMMMM... Brownies

Reviewed: May 10, 2012

These came out good. I used milk chocolate chips and white wheat flour(sifted). I made them into brownie bites(in mini muffin tin). I wanted them to be more fudgy and moist(like the boxed version). I will try adding corn syrup to keep them a bit more moist. They were good and had good flavor. UPDATE: I made half the recipe, then added corn syrup(a heaping teaspoon..? I just poured a little in the batter) and made 12 brownie bites. The consistency was what I was looking for! Yay! :)

Candied Almonds

Reviewed: May 9, 2012

Soo easy to make! I used walnuts(trying to use them up). The process was very easy and I followed the recipe, but used 3 cups of walnuts. I also sprinkled some salt and added vanilla to the mixture, right before all the liquid was evaporated. I am going to get some almonds and make some more cinnamon nuts! Yummy! UPDATE: Just made almonds and they are delicious! Just like the ones you purchase at fairs or markets! Love this recipe. I USE 3 CUPS OF NUTS AND IT WORKS PERFECT!

Watermelon Lemonade

Reviewed: May 7, 2012

I like it! Nice way to use up the watermelon and have a different beverage! Cool! Thanks I did not strain the watermelon. I just blended really well and give a mix with wooden spoon before serving.

Juiciest Hamburgers Ever

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2012

I didn't use the cayenne, worcestershire sauce. I used regular milk instead of evaporated. They were very good! I used seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and McCormick grill mates- Montreal steak seasoning.

Cinnamon-Roasted Almonds

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2012

The key is to make sure you roast them long enough. I followed the recipe instrutions and they were still raw in the middle. The next day, I roasted them for another hour at the same temerature and they were very yummy and everyone loved them! Good and easy! Oh, I used 1 teaspoon cinnamon.

Cookie Balls

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2012

Very yummy and extremely easy! These were great to make, since I didn't have to bake anything! Put cookies and low fat cream cheese(Neufchâtel cheese) in food processor. Would be great for birthday parties, BBQ's, work functions, or just because. :) I used vanilla and chocolate almond bark to coat them. Sprinkles on top covered any uneven coating. These would be great on a stick, like cake pops but easier- no baking! DO STICK IN FREEZER FOR 10-15 minutes for easy handling and the almond bark sets up very quickly, this way.

Easy Meatloaf

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2012

This was the best meatloaf that I had made! It is full of flavor and juicy and best of all, very basic and easy to make! I didn't use the chopped onion(husband doesn't like them), so i used onion powder. I added 2 chopped garlic gloves, sprinkeled paprika, dried parsley, seasoned salt(Lawry's), pepper and garlic powder. I didn't use the glaze for the top, just used ketchup. Excellent!

Very good and easy to make with simple ingredients. I didn't have mayo, so I used lowfat vanilla yogurt. Came out fine with less fat and calories! I also, used regular vinegar. Tasted good!

Waffles I

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2012

Followed recipe exactly , except used only 1/4 cup oil- instead of 1/2 cup. I was able to make 10 waffles from my waffle maker! They came out light and fluffy! For an extra crisp exterior, just toss in toaster on light or lowest setting. Easy to mix together and cook. UPDATE: I made with half AP flour and white wheat flour, they were still good. Oh, and only used 1/4 cup oil.

One Bowl Brownies

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2012

These were ok.. They were too cakey for us. We like moist fudgy brownies. We think it is the 3rd egg that may have made it cakey... We made another recipe and the only difference was 3 eggs and one had cocoa powder instead of unsweetened squares. Everything else was the same. This recipe didn't have enough chocolate flavor.

San Francisco Sourdough Bread

Very good. I halved the recipe to make 1 loaf and followed the ingredients exactly. I did use my bread machine on the dough cycle and then put into a loaf pan and set in oven with bowl of boiling water, for the second rise (for an hour).

Cheesecake Topped Brownies

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2011

I made half of the recipe and felt that these were good, but need more cheese cake. Maybe the full recipe has more cheesecake goodness. I made my own brownie batter and used a homemade chocolate glaze on top.

Butter Balls II

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2011

This is pretty much the same recipe as Robin McCraw's almond cookies, this is half of her recipe. Except the nuts.. I did use half white wheat flour(was short on all-purpose), and added 1 tsp vanilla. So good and easy to make! I will make them with half AP flour and half white wheat(at least it would make them a little healthy! :)

Chocolate Pinwheels

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2011

Good and simple cookies? I followed the ingredients exactly, but made my cookies into checkerboards. I made just over 5 dozen cookies. They were not big cookies and I cut them very thin. Overall , they looked adorable and tasted good, not too sweet.
