Easter Lemon Drop Mousse

Reviewed: Apr. 16, 2012

This was a delicious dessert! Thank you for sharing. The mousse part was perfect. I followed the recipe as is, except the grocery store had green lemons, I only had 1/2 of one at home, plus I picked up another one. I didn't measure the lemon juice, just used the juice from 1-1/2 lemons, then added 4 drops of real lemon oil from a Health Food store. I didn't have a springform pan so I used two 9" pie pans, used a whole box of the vanilla wafers (probabaly around 75 and FYI I'd call these cookies if it didn't say wafers on the box) and added a bit more butter to the base to make two bases. There was enough filling and whip cream in this recipe to make into two pies, about 1" deep. I almost only gave it 4 stars because of two things: (I think these are just personal preferences) A) I didn't like the hard candy crunchy texture. I put the hard candies in the food processor, so the pieces were quite fine. Maybe that didn't help. (The candies were also hard to find, who would have known?) B) I served it frozen and before I froze it, it was a wonderful thick consistency. It was still delcious frozen, and would be amazing on a hot summer day, I might try it again but plan on serving in individual cups, omitting the crust and the hard candies, and just refrigerating.

Fantastic recipe, less intimidating in yield than others on this site. But the flavour was exactly what I was after!

Roasted Garlic Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2012

I did use only 2 leeks, and they wasn't overpowering, so next time I'll try all 4. Also I used red wine because I didn't have sherry, and the flavour is amazing! Will definitely make again. The color was very brown, not sure why, just didn't look like the pics. Other than the changes listed above and vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

Amazing Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2012

My first time making pizza dough, and it was perfect. I made to semi thin crusts that fit on my pampered chef pizza stone. Parchment paper on top of the stone worked like a charm! I per baked crust for 12 min first.

Princess Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2012

I made exactly as is but I did add 10 drops of lemon extract instead of zest, didn't have lemons. I also used about 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1-3/4 cup regular flour. It wasn't sticky at all, and formed balls very well. I did refrigerate it overnight, but I could have rolled them into balls right away. Delicious flavor, and soft at 10 mins.

Healing Cabbage Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2012

Great recipe! I didn't have bouillon so I used vegetable stock. The soup still had lots of flavor, maybe partly because the stewed tomatoes had red chilis in them. Either way, I will make this again, thank you!

Oatmeal Biscuits

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2012

Just like the ones my great grandma used to make! I have her recipe but the 'handfuls' as measurements never worked out for me. This recipe tastes great! I did half and half white to whole wheat flour and it's wonderful! Thanks very much! I like mine plain or with strawberry jam.

Snappy Turtle Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2011

I doubled the recipe the first time I made it: it was a bit time consuming. Let me tell you these were a hit! And they do taste great. The egg whites really hold the pecans on the bottom of the cookie! As this recipe is written, I used 1/4 tsp maple syrup instead of the 1/8 tsp flavouring. Not sure if it added much, but they did taste great. For the icing, I did as this recipe indicated except used only 6 tblsp of milk. I didn't need to add more than 1 cup icing sugar, it was a perfect consistency, and had a really nice, sweet, dark chocolate taste.

Baked Buffalo Wings

Reviewed: Jun. 19, 2011

THis is a fabulous recipe, I was very impressed. I struggled with the 5/5 but went with it because it had such wonderful taste...IF you save some sauce (make extra) and re-baste the chicken. Without that, it is still really really good. I liked the suggestions by others to put a splash of vinegar in the sauce, and pepper to the flour mixture. I also added juice from 3 limes to the sauce... This recipe is a keeper, thank you!

Herbed Potato Soup

Reviewed: Jun. 3, 2011

I REALLY enjoyed the rosemary in this recipe. I used fresh from the garden but I'm sure it would be similar with dried. My husband was resisting trying it since he 'hates potato soup', but he eventually tried it and said it was perfect for a cold day. Thank you for the recipe!

Light Wheat Rolls

Reviewed: May 25, 2011

This was the first bun recipe I ever tried, and it turned out perfectly! I won't keep looking, as this tastes great, and I feel with the whole wheat flour, it must be 'healthier' than some. I use yeast from a jar, and according to earlier reviewers and web searches .25 oz = 1/2 tblsp, so as is, the recipe needs 1 tbspl of yeast.

Cinnabun Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2010

Fantastic!! Thanks for the great recipe! I followed instructions and ingredients as original recipe, as well as took the advice from a few reviewers to use waxed paper to flatten, and to put the rolled up dough in freezer before cutting. I put the dollop on top of the cookies as other's suggested as well. Terrific, all my guests loved them!!!!

Spaghetti Squash I

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2010

This was the first time I cooked spaghetti squash, and I felt it was really good!! My husband even said it was good! I prepared squash by boiling whole until it was soft, while looking for recipes on the internet, instead of baking. I don't know that I could have cut in half prior to boiling anyhow. I also only had green tomatoes, so that's what I used, and kept them in saute pan longer. I think this is a really great recipe though, and would try it exactly as it's written next time. Thank you!

Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Stew

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2010

This soup was great! I did take other reviews into account and skipped the boullion, but added some low salt chicken broth. I also only used garlic powder, and skipped the celery salt (didn't have). It was not lacking in salt or flavour at all. I can't imagine how salty it would taste with the omitted salts!

Caroline's Chocolate Fudge Frosting

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2009

Thanks to recipe submitters and Thanks to all previous reviewers, especially msf27 that suggested 1 lb sugar is 4 cups...anyhow, I only added 1/2 cup milk but did add 4 oz of chocolate instead of three. Yes it was more sweet than chocoloatey, but it was Very Good! Still 5 star from this chocolate lover!! Easy to make too!

Delicious Black Bean Burritos

This isn't 100% accurate, as I was missing some ingredients and I had some steak that I sauteed in oil and taco seasoning, but it was a winner either way! Thank You!
