Very good dessert after a few tweaks. I added a few TBSP of flour to my fruit and sugar to help thicken the juice since several noted that they thought juice made the crust soggy. And I only used 1 c butter, since 1 1/2 seems like way too much. I will make this again, but next time will either add more fruit or cut back on the crust.

Tres Leches III

Reviewed: May 4, 2012

I'm giving this recipe four starts rather than three because of the popularity at our office food day. Everyone loved it. My cake came out very dense. It rose nicely, but fell when it cooled. I decreased the eggs to 8. Not sure if I over-folded my whites into the batter. This made it difficult for the milks to absorb. (I used a 15 oz can of evap milk. Have not seen a 5 oz can) BUT, the cake was very delicious. And I did use my KitchenAid with the whisk attachment. :) I'll try again maybe with this recipe, maybe with another...

Chicken and Mushroom Chowder

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2007

Very good and fairly easy. I didn't use the full amount of oregano. With the "healthy" chicken broth I used, a little salt could be added. We added peas too. I was in a hurry, so I sauteed my chicken with the garlic, onion, and mushrooms; then added the broth, etc. Worked fine. Very filling. I've put this one in my recipe box!

Chicken Tortilla Soup V

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2007

Awesome & EASY!!! Super recipe of things already in the pantry. I made just a few as-you-go changes... I sauteed the onions with the chicken, used 1 can corn (drained) rather than frozen and added a can of (rinsed) black beans. Skipped the chili powder & lemon juice. Used picante sauce since that's what I had on hand. And I thickened it slightly with 1/4 cup water & 2 Tbsp cornstarch.
