I didn't have the c. ginger, used more ginger as suggested. Also, used some pumpkin spice instead of allspice and a pkg. of sugar-free french vanilla pudding instead of butterscotch. Hard to tell when they were done due to tops of muffins being sticky/moist...but definitley needs more cooking time. That being said, these are divine muffins. But I do think it is more of a Gingerbread or a Ginger Muffin......the pumpkin is basically a "secret moistening ingredient." I also think cream cheese frosting would be too heavy for these...I was in heaven with a topping of (fat free) Cool Whip.

Chicken With Mushrooms

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2010

I made this tonight with the addition of cream of celery soup, Panko crumbs, pre-sauteeing portobellos in EVOO and garlic, & topped with shredded Mozz/Parm. The following review is from my husband: "This is one of the best combinations of ingredients I have eaten. It is an extraordinarily savory concoction! I highly recommend it."

Mushroom Artichoke Sandwich

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2010

I made garlic bread (french bread, marg, & garlic salt), mixed mushrooms and artichokes as directed (using parmesan) and topped the bread with the mixture. Sprinkled some shredded cheese on top and popped in toatser oven to melt. The open-faced version is the way to go...less bread, more healthy. Or you could eat two of them like I do!

Tomato-Cream Sauce for Pasta

Reviewed: Jun. 11, 2009

There is a lot of basil and a lot of onion in this sauce...but not so much sauce. Added a can of tomato sauce and this helped a little. Will try using two cans of petite diced tomatoes, more half/half and extra garlic next time. Won't double the onion or basil though. Enjoyed it last night with crumbled italian sausage and was quite tasty.

Chewy Coconut Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2009

I didn't bake them-I ate them! These cookies are the number 2 cookies my wife has ever made-second only to her chocolate chip cookies. If you want a cookie that your family will devour within a day-try these!! We had them with white chips and some with regular chips-both delicious in their own way. The Mrs. wants to add coconut extract for more coconut flavor. These are not for a family that is interested in staying slim.
