Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2011

This recipe is so good and easy. To save a ziploc bag, I just threw all the ingredients into a big bowl and tossed them with my hands. They came out perfectly. I also totally disagree with the reviews that say that this yields overcooked brussel sprouts; I baked for 35-40 minutes at 400F and they came out perfectly.

Christmas Stars

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2008

Coming from someone whose favorite cookie is Pepperidge Farm's "Verona," these are SO GOOD. I am impatient, so I only chilled the dough for 30 minutes, and the cookies came out totally great. I didn't have star cutters, so I improvised, using flower and heart shaped cutters and using my apple corer to make the hole in the middle. Not as pretty as the stars, but still very very good. Thanks for the tip about cutting out the center after putting the cookie on the cookie sheet; that was very helpful. Thanks for this recipe!!

It wasn't like authentic pho, but it was really good considering we made this at home. Very easy to make. Thanks for the recipe!

Maple Walnut Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2008

I don't really like walnuts in my muffins so I ommitted those, but followed the rest of this recipe exactly. It was SO GOOD. My husband & I can't stop eating them. This is very bad for our diet, but thanks for sharing this great recipe!

Culinarius' Thai Chicken Stew

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2008

This was really really good. I added way more garlic, beef, some grated ginger and lots of hot sauce to the curry itself, but other than that, it was so good as is. Thanks!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies III

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2008

I found these to be just okay (a 3) and my husband loved them so I averaged and gave it a 4. I like my cookies to be like cookies, so these were just too muffiny for me, and the pumpkin/spice flavor in them wasn't strong enough for our taste. If I make these again, I'll put in more of the spices, but my husband loves them just the way they are. He ate about 20 of them.

Teriyaki Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2008

This was so easy to make! My husband totally loved it as did I. I marinated overnight, which made making dinner tonight very easy; just stick the chicken in the oven! I used low sodium soy sauce, threw in a load of garlic, and some chopped up basil, which added a nice flavor. I baked at 500F for 25 minutes, which made the skin nice and crispy, and then for 35 minutes at 375. This chicken is SO good. Thanks!

Pan Fried Halibut Steak with Light Green Sauce

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2008

The pan-fried fish (I used tilapia) was very good and quick and easy to make. However, the sauce curdled and looked like sand sinking to the bottom of the pan, leaving the liquid on top (maybe because of the lemon, as someone else suggested?). The flavor of the sauce I wasn't too crazy about, either. I'd make the fish again, but definitely will NOT make the sauce again.

Strawberry Torte

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2008

I don't eat cream cheese, but I was eager to try this recipe anyway for my friends and husband, so the rating is on their behalf. They LOVED it. Not too sweet, very impressive presentation, so light. I piped whipped cream between the strawberries on the top of the cake to give it an extra something. Also, next time I will make the cake directly on the serving plate, and not use the bottom of the springform pan, because there is no way I could get the cake off the bottom of the pan without having it fall apart.

Salmon and Pesto with Rice

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2008

The rice is so good, all infused with the flavor of the wine and the salmon/pesto. I don't like my food very salty at all, though, so next time I think I will add only 1/4 cup of pesto (or maybe my pesto was saltier than normal?). Also, I'd keep my salmon fillet in one piece, not cubed. Other than that, this was super easy and convenient and yummy!

Beth's Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2008

I love how they're not very sweet. A healthy cookie! My grocery only had extra thick whole rolled oats, so the second time I made these, I ground the oats quickly in my coffee bean grinder and the cookies came out perfect.

Risotto with Tomato, Corn and Basil

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2008

I don't like cheese much, so I just put a sprinkle of Parmesan in mine. Very yummy. Loved the sweet bite that the corn brought.

Chicken with Grape Tomatoes and Fried Basil

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2008

I'm not sure if I fried the basil for too long, but it didn't really taste like much... kind of like dried seaweed, the kind you get on the outside of your sushi. Other than that, I absolutely loved the flavor of the wine/broth sauce on the chicken and mixed in with the rice. I added about 4 cloves of diced garlic to the sauce to simmer down with it for extra flavor. This is one of my husband's very favorite dishes.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies IX

Reviewed: Sep. 30, 2008

It was heavier than the oatmeal raisin cookies I'm used to (I used extra thick rolled oats), and much healthier tasting! It reminded me of those Kashi cookies. I was nervous as they were baking, because they looked pretty liquidy in the oven, but came out very good. I made them a little bigger and have one as my breakfast bar!

Simple Scones

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2008

The best homemade scones I've ever had! Sour cream may sound weird, but makes them soft and moist and taste absolutely delicious. I recommend brushing tops of scones with an egg wash to get the tops golden and crispy, and topping with sugar in the raw instead of granulated white sugar. I also used fat-free sour cream, which was totally fine. I also modified this recipe to make my "savory" scones. I used 1/6 cup sugar instead of 1/3 cup, and instead of any fruit, I added 1/4 cup of cooked and chopped bacon, 1/6 cup diced chives, and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Those scones were super yummy too!!
