Amazing! I followed lots of the suggestions from other reviewers: 1/4 c. butter & 1/4 c. fat-free vanilla yogurt in place of the shortening (I'm not one to substitute for fats usually, but I definitely don't miss the extra butter!), half and half brown sugar and white, added 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, extra oatmeal and cinnamon/sugar on top of the loaf, and baked at 325 for an hour. I also used a combination of flours - 1/4 c. rye (trying to use it up!), 3/4 whole wheat, and 1/2 c. white. I think the wheat flour goes well with the nuts. Did half walnuts and half pecans and probably put in a little more than 1/2 c. The bread is dense, moist, and the coating on the top is excellent. Thank you for the recipe and for all the helpful reviews!

A Fantastic Margarita

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2006

This may not be a traditional margarita, but it is delicious! I like to keep the limeade concentrated and just add a little water, rather that making as the package instructs, for a more limey flavor.

German Potato Pancakes

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2006

These were wonderful! I've tried to make potato pancakes before by just estimating amounts of potato, onion, egg, etc. with mediocre results. I followed this recipes exactly, cooked them in a cast iron skillet, and topped with sour cream. Excellent!

Tasty Tuna Burgers

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2006

I was looking for something different to do with tuna and came across this recipe. I made them with what I had on hand, so there were several changes - regular breadcrumbs (heaping 1/2 c., as suggested by others), dehydrated minced onion, no celery, ketchup instead of chili sauce, and no dill weed. Even with all these substitutions, they were fantastic! I put Miracle Whip on mine and my boyfriend used hot sauce. I think tartar sauce would also be good.

Quick and Easy Home Fries

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2006

I made these in my cast iron skillet, used 2 T of butter, which was plenty, and added onion during the second 10 minutes. The timing was perfect and they turned out amazing! Thank you!

Lemon Tabouli

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2005

This was my first attempt at tabouli and I think it turned out great! I left out the parsley and just added more mint. I also used less than 4 cups for a water and it still took longer than 30 minutes to soak it up. Beware, this makes A LOT! I've been eating leftovers for lunch all week. If you're not absolutely crazy about lemon, cut it back a bit, as it turns out VERY lemony.

Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2005

Excellent recipe! I left out the cayenne and the parsley because I didn't have them, and added lime zest to the spice mixture. I only used one lime, so I don't think it made 3 T of juice, but the zest made up for it. I also used 6 chicken tender strips rather than the breasts (I was only cooking for 2 people) - I don't think the spice mixture would have been enough to coat 4 breasts though. Turned out great and was very easy! I served with Lemon Tabouli and white wine.
