Tres Leches (Milk Cake)

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2010

I got so many compliments on this cake! The only thing I would do differently next time is 1) put a little less sugar when making the whipped cream (the cake itself is already soooo sweet!); 2) even out the batter before I bake it because my cake came out shaped like a mountain rather than flat; 3) sprinkle cinnamon or add strawberries to it on top of the whipped cream. This is a wonderful recipe that anyone can enjoy!

Asian Orange Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2009

As I was preparing this, I was skeptical, but it actually turned out nice. Next time, I'll cut down on the lemon juice and add a bit more sugar since I'd like to bring out a bit more of the sweet flavor. My breading fell apart when I mixed the chicken into the sauce unfortunately. The chicken even tasted good before rolling it in the sauce!

Sugar Cookie Icing

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2009

This recipe was very easy to use, but my icing was a little runny for decorating (painting was fine though) with a frosting bag. I don't really like the strong almond extra flavor in it, so next time i will cut down on almond extract or not use it at all.

The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2009

can't stop eating these cookies! I tried baking some with and without wax paper and it did not make a difference for me. This is a great, easy recipe and makes cookie cutting very easy.

New England Clam Chowder I

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009

Great recipe! Instead of adding more salt for flavor, I added more clam juice and cut down on salt. Next time, I'll probably add some flour or starch to the broth so it's a bit more creamy. Lactose intolerant people should be very careful when eating this because this is very heavy in dairy!

Baked Asian-Style Honey Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009

Super easy recipe that doesn't require too many ingredients! I doubled the sauce and did 4 chicken breasts. If you cook chicken breasts at 350 degrees, 15 min each side, it comes out perfect. I also suggest coating the chicken breast in olive oil before so the moisture stays in. If you are not a fan of ginger, this recipe may be a little too strong for you. The chicken tasted awesome with white jasmine rice!

Iced Pumpkin Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2009

this was much different than any other cookies i have ever made, and in a good way. the texture was a cross between a cookie and cake but super moist. the pumpkin flavor is extremely subtle too. i accidentally put double the amount nutmeg in and i did not put it cloves because i didn't have it, but it still turned out great. the icing good in theory for the cookie, but i didn't care particularly for this icing recipe. the vanilla flavor was too strong.

Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2009

a very easy chicken pot pie recipe! the only change i would make next time is use less salt. i think the pie gets saltier as it cooks in the oven so don't be afraid if the sauce is bland when you taste it alone.

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2009

super easy recipe and baking them for 8 minutes makes them perfectly chewy. you have to freeze the peanut butter cups AND i would recommend popping the cookie tray into the fridge for 5 quick mins after you put the peanut butter cups on the cookies (or else chocolate melts big time). be sure to serve milk with these!

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies I

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2009

Delightful cookies. The semisweet chocolate chips and the chocolate from the cookie give it a dark chocolate flavor for any dark chocolate lovers out there. It was extremely easy to make and definitely worth repeating.

Tanya's Snickerdoodles

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2009

Yummy! I somehow did not have milk available so I didn't put any milk. It didn't affect the texture too much, but I think it made the almond extract flavoring really obviously strong. Next time, I will add the milk but use less (or none) almond extract.

Baked Tofu Bites

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2009

I made it following the directions to a T minus the smoke and I was a bit disappointed since the previous reviews hyped it up. Next time, I would definitely double up the sauce and put a little less soy sauce and a little more maple syrup so it's not as salty. I also think it'd taste better if it was battered, but I guess that would make it much less healthy.

Rosemary Chicken

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2009

I was pleasantly surprised with this. I only had Tony's Creole seasoning (which contains salt) so I was very careful on not applying too much and I skipped on the salt. You have to saute the onions before. They don't cook in the oven. The rosemary is a little strong so be careful on how much apply. Otherwise, it's a great quick meal! Pretty healthy too!

Quick and Easy Chicken

Maple Salmon

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2009

Great salmon recipe. It's very similar to the flavor of the "Grilled Salmon I" recipe (that one's worth trying too). I like my salmon a tad rareness just so it's extra tender so I bake it at 400 degrees and 10 minutes for every inch of thickness. It always comes out perfect!
