Jenny's Cuban-Style Slow-Cooker Chicken Fricassee

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2012

This was a very good base recipe. I did need to add some 'umph' in the spice department, which is why I only gave this recipe 4 stars. Everyone's taste in what makes a good recipe s unique, and this is no exception. I will make this again :)

Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pao de Queijo)

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2012

These were pretty good. They had a nice taste and I love the texture :) However i agree with another reviewer that they have way too much oil. I made a similar recipe on this site that called for yoghurt and they turned out much better. I also baked the other recipe in mini muffin tins, not regular muffin tins. The smaller, bite-sized proportions seem to fit this recipe much better...they are quite rich (for a lack of a better word). I will try these again, however, and make them smaller and just use less oil.

Brazilian Cheese Puffs (Pao de Queijo)

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2012

These were absolutely delicious! I made one substitution, whipping cream for the yogourt, because i didn't have yogourt. I also added some italian seasoning...next time will either add dill or peppers. Will be making these again soon.

Fresh Pear Pie

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2012

I enjoyed this recipe, but if i had to choose between this or apple, i'd choose apple. I used asian pears - maybe that is where i went wrong? Although I thought they were perfect because they remained firm while cooking. I would make this again with double the sugar mixture.

Baked Spaghetti I

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2012

Delicious! The only substitution i made was Cream of Chicken soup for the Mushroom soup. - the flavour was so distributed throughout the dish that I don't think this was a crucial substitution. I love the addition of canned tomatoes to this recipe.

Chuck's Favorite Mac and Cheese

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2011

I am giving the original recipe a rating of 4. The consistency wasn't great and it was a bit bland. I then added about 3/4c milk and some sweet chili sauce. This really helped make it a 5 star recipe.

Oven Pot Roast

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2010

Fantastic! Didn't use flour when browning, or onion soup mix in the oven... but did use mushroom soup, a few splashes of worchestershire sauce, and about 1/4 cup rose. Delicious!

Fluffy French Toast

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2010

*** first rating of 3 stars***I found this quite bland, but i didn't follow the recipe exactly as written (added an extra egg and didn't add vanilla because i was out). I imagine i was to blame for the way the recipe turned out, and not the recipe it's self. I will try this recipe again very soon using the exact directions and hopefully be able to change my rating! **UPDATED RATING OF 4 STARS** Followed the recipe exactly (except i used soy milk) - it is MUCH better (but still not *exceptional* - what i consider a 5 star recipe) and definitely a recipe that i will be using again.

Dutch Babies II

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2009

I'm giving this recipe 4 starts for the following reasons: i followed the recipe exactly and it did puff up as it was supposed to (so that was good), i did like the 'eggy' texture, but there really wasn't anything special about this recipe...it didn't really have much flavour. It rose, but by the time I stick my fork in it had already fallen and I was left with a droopy, unexciting, mediocre pancake. They do taste very good when drenched in syrup or some sort of dressing...but that is just because the dressing tastes so good, not necessarily this recipe. I probably won't make these again, but i won't discourage others from trying it...i am glad that i did.

Joey's Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Aug. 2, 2009

These were very good cookies, just not the type that i was expecting. I was looking for the 'traditional' type of PB cookie (ie like that in the better homes and gardens cook book). These cookies turned out really great, even though the dough was very soft (i followed recipe to a t and didn't change a thing). Just keep in mind that although they are a great cookie, they may not be exactly the PB cookie you are expecting.

Easy Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2009

I ran out of white sugar and subsituted 3/4 cup brown for 3/4 white. I needed to cook them for about 12-13 min instead of 8 - 10, but they came out beautifully - very soft and chewy.

Pecan Pie V

Whipped Shortbread Cookies

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2009

This recipe was delicious! The only change i made was to add 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Also, I am not so sure about the need for such precise mixing times. I don't own an electric mixer so I whipped the butter by hand for a couple of minutes and then the rest of the mixture by hand also for about 2-3 minutes...and the batter came out beautifully with a wonderful texture.
