Beef Meatballs and Picante Glaze

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2012

Good enough recipe..tasted good (not great) and was easy. I would use Hot vs. medium salsa next time. Medium didn't create enough heat and flavour for me.

The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2012

This created a perfect perfect dough to roll out and baked up very nicely. I can't comment too much on taste as I don't like sugar cookies - no on raved about the taste...but no one complained either!

Asparagus 'Guacamole'

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2012

Great for a low fat dip, but not tasty enough for guests in my opinion. Taste was okay - but texture was not like guacamole. Plus, I made the day before, and by the time I served it, it had taken on a yellow/greay/brownish colour that did not look appetizing.

Cucumber Hummus

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2012

I used a whole cucumber as directed but found this made it too watery. I wasn't a big fan, but had house guests who enjoyed it. I'd be willing to try this again with only 1/2 a cucumber (or less) for a more hummus like texture.

Slow-Cooked Habanero Chili

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2012

4 stars with the caveat that I had to use a lot of extra spices: cinnamon, chili powder, chipolte chilli powder and cumin. I also added ~ 1 cup chopped onion. Used one fresh habanero and one dried chipoltle pepper as I couldn't find dried habanero. Added ~1 cup of chicken broth--and it was still super thick! Final verdict: good, like that it had more veggies, but isn't going to be my traditional go to chili recipe.

Pumpkin Black Bean Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2012

I double the ham and onions and added the ham at the beginning. As a result, I definitely tasted the ham unlike some others - like a black bean ham and beans! Added some cumin and slap your mama spice for a bit more flavor! I thought it was delish!

Chocolate Cavity Maker Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2012

I didn't have the liqueur so used some rum instead, but mine just didn't have the moistness that everyone else alluded too. May have over baked - cooked for ~25-30 min for cup cakes vs. the bundt pan.

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2012

First batch turned out ok - edible. Second batch was too hard and will have to be used someother way.

Easiest Peanut Butter Fudge

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2012

Didn't turn out for me - I was not able to incorporate all of the powdered sugar as described and ended up with something I had to form into cubes by hand to keep together. Then coated in melted chocolate + peanut butter chips and it was edible, but I wouldn't call it fudge!

Cream Cheese Frosting II

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2011

TIP: I tried making with fat free cream cheese and ended up with runny icing, even after added add'l 1.5 cups of powdered sugar. Tip - make when no one else is around so you don't have to fight for licking of the spoon, bowl, etc!! I added 1 tblsp of cinnamon and 1 tblsp vanilla (vs. 1 tsp) for a perfect topping to Sam's Carrot Cake from this site. SO GOOD. Definitely now my go-to for cream cheese icing but will read some of the tips in the reviews for getting the butter a bit smoother next time. Covered 36 cupcakes perfectly.

Slow Cooker Chicken Mole

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2011

Update: I froze individual portions of this with some brown rice for lunches and have found I really like it. Perhaps the freezing / microwaving intensified the flavours? Followed the recipe mostly to a T, but didn't suit my taste buds right when cooked, which I attribute more to just not liking mole all that much. If I were to try it again, I would add more Chicken - as written it would have been too sloppy for a taco in my opinion.

Quinoa with Carrots and Raisins

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2011

I had leftover already made quinoa, so I made this dish in a wok more like a fried rice almost. I was also lazy and didn't want to grate the carrots and just tried to chop them small - I would grate next time as I didn't get them cooked quite enough. I added additional carrots too. I had cooked the quinoa with some red pepper flakes which added a nice smidge of heat.

Vegan Black and White Bean Soup

Reviewed: Aug. 2, 2011

I'm not a Vegan, so I added ground turkey breast. Good flavors, also used less liquid so it was a bit heartier an stew-like.

Pineapple Fried Quinoa

Reviewed: Aug. 2, 2011

I also added ham like another reviewer for more protein which was great. Yummy with a good mix of flavors. Not quite a 5 star for me - I tend not to measure too much and just toss things in and ended wishing I had added a bit MORE spice.

Oatmeal Apricot Squares

Reviewed: Jul. 1, 2011

Easy - used homemade cherry jam that I had on hand and it was good in that it wasn't so sweet. I had a little bit of crumbling problems but they did stay together for the most part.

Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 1, 2011

Excellent! Used Foreman grilled chicken breast and low fat mayo to make it a bit healthier. Served "open face" on slices of french bread for a ladies only afternooon party. Leftovers I'm using in a wrap w/spinach and cheddar cheese. It's very chunky and yummy!
