White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2007

These were great even after I made major changes/substitutions. I used splenda in place of the white sugar, substituted apple sauce for 1/2 of the butter, walnuts for the pecans and only used 1 cup mini chocolate chips instead of the 2 cups white chocolate chips. Some of the changes I made because that's what I had, and some because I wanted a "lighter" cookie. I also refrigerated the dough overnight before baking. Next time I'll try using 1/2 whole wheat flour. (Just fyi, for anyone who hasn't done the apple sauce substitution for fat in a recipe: I always take a coffee filter and drain the excess liquid off the apple sauce before using in my baking.) The rest of the family said, "these are really good!".

Banana Nut Bread

Reviewed: May 5, 2007

Yummy! And especially yummy because it's so easy to throw together whenever I have ripe bananas going to waste because noone wants to eat them. My family loves this recipe. So far, yellow cake mix is our favorite to use, although I did try it with chocolate cake mix once.

Chili I

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2005

Great chili. I had to substitute stew meat that I had on hand for the beef sirloin and red cooking wine for the beer (1/4 cup). Then I forgot to get the hot chili peppers at the grocery store, so I threw in about 1-2 tablespoons of chopped jalapeno pepper that I had in my freezer. I simmered it for about 2-4 hours then put in crockpot for the rest of the evening. Unfortunately, my husband and I only got to have one bowl of this great chili, 'cuz it won 2nd place at our church's annual chili cookoff and of course, everyone wanted to try it and we went home with an empty pot!
