Best Brownies

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2010

Wonderful, easy recipe. For extra awesomeness, use coarse sea salt. The exotic crunch made good brownies phenomenal!

The Oreo and cream cheese part was easy, but the melted chocolate part was a study in failure. My truffles look like little piles of poo. Tasty little piles of poo. Not as easy as the recipe suggests, wish I had read more reviews for hints on chilling them before dipping.

Easy Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2009

Super easy recipe that makes beautiful, yummy cookies. I did leave out about 1/4c flour, because the dough was so doughy that I couldn't mix it anymore. Great to make with a child!

Baked Dijon Salmon

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2009

Our favorite salmon recipe ever. I used regular old French's mustard and roasted almonds, and it was totally phenomenal. Great with roasted potatoes and French green beans. Not fishy at all! Delicious.

Szechwan Shrimp

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2009

I would give it 4.5 stars, if possible. Very easy, great heat, good way to make precooked shrimp edible quickly. I did not like the cooking smell, and even the dish smell wasn't really mouth-watering, but it tastes good. I used the recipe exactly with 1 lb. precooked shrimp. I steamed about 1 cup of Archer Farms frozen mixed stir-fry veggies and added it to the pan while cooking, then garnished with some roasted almonds for texture. Higher points for ease, simplicity, and speed than taste.

Butter Frosting

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2009

Just what I was looking for in a frosting! I used almond extract instead of vanilla to frost a pumpkin spice cake. Nice and thick. I didn't sift the sugar, and i'm still satisfied. I can't stop eating the frosting out of the bowl!

Crunchy Oven Fried Tilapia

Reviewed: May 24, 2009

Delicious way to make easy, crispy fish! I omitted cornmeal and added a dash of flaxseed-- maybe 1T. Served with brown rice, carrots, broccoli, and a quick and dirty aioli of light Trader Joe's mayo with minced garlic and a dash of lemon juice.

Southwest Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2009

Very nice and filling! I didn't have cumin, so I used garlic powder, chili powder, and a dash of cayenne pepper for seasoning. I also browned an onion with the chicken and served everything over brown rice. So easy to make from kitchen staples, and a great way to kill a craving for Mexican food without breaking the nutritional bank!

Creamy Dill Cucumber Toasties

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009

Easy and delicious appetizer. Perfect combination of cool and crunchy and creamy, and the dill adds just the right amount of zesty. Be sure to buy 2 cucumbers-- I cut my cuke into 20 slices an had loads of the cream cheese mix left over, as well as plenty of baguette, which I enjoyed with butter.

Pumpkin Cake II

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009

Our favorite cake EVER! I follow the recipe exactly and always use the Pillsbury yellow cake mix that contains pudding in the mix. This time I made the cream cheese frosting from this site and adored the end result. So soft and moist! Pumpkin haters can't even tell it contains pumpkin!

Lentil Soup III

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2009

Good, but not amazing. Seemed to be missing something. A bit bland. Made a huge pot of soup, though! Here's a hint: if you're cooking it for vegetarians, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth, or you'll look like a major doof. Oops.

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2009

Absolutely the best meatloaf i've ever had. I dreamed of leftover meatloaf sandwiches for two days. I substituted crushed Annie's Whole Wheat Bunnies for the saltines and used just a little bit of brown sugar and ketchup for the top rather than the bottom. I also used 2 pieces of bread to sop up the grease at the bottom, which worked well. Can't wait to make this again, along with the baby dill carrots and a side of mashed potatoes!

Easy Garlic Broiled Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2009

After reading the rave reviews, I was disappointed. The skinless thighs came out gooey and chewy, and the broiling did not produce the lovely crust in the photos.
