To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: May 2, 2010
Very good muffins! My husband and daughter and I all loved them when I made them as the recipe states (I didn't use all of the struesel topping, though). The next time, I substituted whole wheat flour for 1/2c of the all purpose flour and used apple sauce instead of oil, to try to make it a little lower calorie. They turned out so well that my 8 year old and my picky husband didn't even notice the difference! I still only use about a 1/2 tablespoon of struesel on each muffin and save the rest for the next time. Yummy!

Rhubarb Strawberry Crunch

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2009
This was a huge hit with my family and my husband is VERY PICKY! I changed just a few things: cut the sugar to 3/4 cup as recommended by others, added more strawberries, because I had a little more than the recipe called for, used the topping recipe that was recommende (1c flour, 1c brown sugar, 1 c oatmeal, 1/2 c butter) and it was delicious! I halved the recipe because there are only three of us, but it worked beautifully and it will be made again, I'm sure! Great recipe!!

Beef Tenderloin with Ginger-Shiitake Brown Butter

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2009
I'm giving this three stars because I'm sure I must have messed it up somehow. For me, it was LOTS of melted butter with some greasy, fried shitake mushrooms with a sort of gingery flavor. I don't get the sauce part. I followed the instructions to a tee. I'm a pretty experienced cook, but I must have missed something. Sorry.

Shrimp Scampi Bake

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2008
Very yummy dish, but I did make some changes. First, I followed the advice of others and cut the amount of butter. I only used 4 tablespoons of butter and it still seemed like I could have cut it a bit more. I did only have 1/2 a pound of shrimp (instead of 2 pounds), but I wanted plenty of sauce, so kept all the other ingredient amounts the same. I used the full amount of mustard and the full amount of lemon juice and garlic. Instead of parsley, I put in some basil and oregano and added some cayenne pepper flakes for zing (we like spicy!). I also followed the advice of others and added a "glug" of white wine. The lemon flavor was a bit much, so I think next time I will omit it or cut it way back and add more wine. I cooked the shrimp according to the directions, but at the end I sprinkled them with parmesan cheese and broiled them for about 5 minutes. I served it over angel hair pasta with some veggies sauteed in butter and olive oil. My husband, who is pretty picky, loved it and we snarked up the whole thing. A definite keeper with the changes! As a friend says, "yumbo!"

Apple Betty

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2006
My husband loved this, but my daughter and I thought it was too sweet. Next time I make it, I would cut the white sugar to 1/4 cup and put in 1/2 cup of brown sugar instead. I also found that it needed to bake for longer than the 45 minutes called for by the recipe. I had it go an hour, then broiled it for a couple of minutes to get it a little browner. Definitely more appealing that way. Otherwise, not too bad and very easy to make.
