Easy to make and very quick dessert to whip up. However, next time I will not use fat-free cream cheese,the consistancy wasn't right. Also I followed a recipe for strawberry glaze by another reviewer and I didnt like it. Wish I could find a better recipe for strawberry glaze! Until I find that I will look for another good potluck dessert but overall good.

Flourless Chocolate Cake II

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2010

Excellent. I followed the advice of someone else and excluded the cocoa powder increasing chocolate to around 8 oz. (used half of a 1 lb. chocolate bar from trader joes). It was a hit! I made them into about 8 cupcakes a.k.a. mini cakes for portion control since this dessert is so decident. We also found that heating the cupcake in the microwave for 10 seconds really enhanced i!

Asparagus Soup

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2010

Delicious. Super easy, great taste, and healthy! I used fat-free evaporated milk and chicken broth. Did not have white pepper but dark pepper worked just fine. I would definitely make this again.

Garbanzo Bean Chocolate Cake (Gluten Free!)

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2010

Great recipe. I want to try and use egg substitute and splenda next time around. Otherwise, the cake was moist and rich-a big hit. I made cupcakes and baked them for 25 minutes. Good suggestion to fill cupcakes to nearly the top.

Pesto Pizza

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2010

Good idea, great flavor, quick and easy. Much better than ordering out. We added more cheese than directed and that seemed to add it. Also put basil leaves under some of the cheese.

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2010

Good salad for entertaining or bringing to a BBQ. Dressing went well with apples and walnuts. Added cranberries on top and fresh baby spinach. It was a big hit.

American Lasagna

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2010

Great recipe. Easy directions and wonderful to freeze and eat later if you arent cooking for an entire family. Substituted ground beef for ground turkey for a healthy alternative and you couldnt tell the difference. Would make it again in a heartbeat.

Cornbread Muffins I

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2010

Good recipe. Substituted 3/4 cup creamed corn instead of thawed frozen corn to help make the muffins more moist. I may add more honey next time but didnt find the muffins too sweet to begin with. They went well with chilie or alone as a breakfast muffin.
