Lemon Yummies

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2004

These cookies were indeed soft, but their subtle flavor left much to be desired. I suggest adding an additional teaspoon of lemon extract and maybe some frosting to boost the flavor.

English Royalty Chocolate Chip Scones

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2003

These are delicious and very flexible. For extra taste, I would try vanilla extract or almond extract, dried cherries, golden raisins... the possibilities are endless!

Cavatappi with Spinach, Garbanzo Beans, and Feta

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2003

I really enjoyed this dish, it's so light and refreshing, not to mention quick. What a versatile dish! I added grape tomatoes, pine nuts, and like many others, used flavored (garlic and herb) feta cheese.

Angel Food Cake III

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2003

Even though I messed up the recipe a little bit, it tasted absolutely wonderful. I didn't have any cake flour on hand so I sifted regular all-purpose flour 3 times and then deducted 2 tablespoons. I also added half a teaspoon of almond extract, just to add another dimension to the angel food cake. The variations you can make are boundless. I would think adding lemon / orange zest would be great as well. Oh also, to prevent over-burning, perhaps you can try covering it with foil for 20 minutes or so. Yum!

Fra Diavolo Sauce With Pasta

Reviewed: Jul. 4, 2003

This recipe is a great start. I have made a few changes though. I sauteed a quarter of onion in addition to the garlic. After adding the tomatoes, I included about 1/2 t of oregano and thyme and just a touch of sugar for sweetness. You can also add basil at the end if you don't have parsley.

Carrot Cake III

This carrot cake is extremely moist and delicious! It doesn't need any frosting at all. It also tastes better the next day, since the flavors meld together beautifully!!

Curried Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2002

This is an excellent recipe. I did modify it though - I added diced onions, minced garlic, and roughly chopped apricots, then sautéed in some olive oil. It really gives it a nice flavor. Since I didn't have any carrots, I added some cubed potatoes. Also, I had some leftover chicken and barley on hand and threw that in. Near the end, I included some pre-cut spinach for color. It's quite tasty! Next time I'll try the recipe exactly.

This is by far the best rice pudding I've ever eaten. My roommate agrees, she even says it's better than her Grandma's!! It's that good.

Yum-Yum Corn

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2001

This recipe was really tasty! Under the advice of another reviewer, I halved the butter and cream cheese. It still was a tad too creamy and rich, so maybe next time I'll cut it down to a third or so. Great start though. Thanks for the recipe!

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2001

These were a hit in our household! If five college students think it was great, you know this has to be good! For a different taste, try adding some chocolate chips. Yum!

Almost No Fat Banana Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2001

This recipe was very delicious. It needs a little bit more of a banana flavor though. I also used 2 whole eggs instead of the whites for a richer taste. Overall, very tasty and guilt-free!

Blueberry Monkey Bread

Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2000

This was a disaster! The biscuits and blueberries flooded all over the place. It turned out too gooey and soggy. Any way to fix this?

Cinnamon Coffee Cake II

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2000

I made this for my family, and they loved it! My mom could not stop raving about how delicious it was. Neither could my boyfriend! It's really great. The only "problem" was that the mix was supersticky. But it ended up great!
