SUCCESSFUL ALTERATIONS: i didn't use granny smith. (have no idea what kind of apples they are, but they are a much softer kind, and i prefer my filling to be more soft.) also, i increased butter to 3/4 c w *salted* butter and added 1 tbs cinnamon to the filling mixture. i poured 3/4 mixture over apples before adding lattice and brushed remaining over lattice after applying. CRITICISM: i'd reduce the "continued baking" instructions to 25-35 min (instead of 35-45 min)

I remove the water chestnuts because I don't care for them.

Molasses Bran Muffins

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2009

I loved the flavor of these muffins but abhorred the texture. I had to "choke them down" (so-to-speak). Anyone have any ideas on improving the texture? Maybe by adding a different grain? I like muffins that have crispy tops and are more cake-like in the middle.

These lasted only 20 minutes at the family Christmas gathering. A huge hit.

Layered Salad

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2008

Great recipe. I omitted the water chestnuts because I don't like them. A big hit at the Christmas family gathering. It was eaten up completely.

Molten Chocolate Cakes With Sugar-Coated Raspberries

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2005

This is, hands down, my favorite dessert. A.k.a. chocolate lava cakes, they can be served with raspberry liqueur drizzled on the plate with a mint garnish or topped with whipped cream. I've put the batter in the freezer and have been able to store for several weeks. (Baking time is increased to 12-15 minutes.) I recommend: 1) replacing the paper muffin cups in muffin pan with ramekins sprayed with oil or cooking spray. (You can turn them over on plate for presentation.) 2) using Ghirardelli or another high quality chocolate

Coconut Rice

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2005

With some minor alterations, this recipe is fabulous. Because I'm the only one who eats this at my house, I cut the recipe in fourths. Here's what I did: 1 can (14 oz) of coconut milk 3/4 cup of Basmati rice 1 pinch salt 3 heaping tbls of sugar The rice almost soft once the rice absorbed all the coconut milk. Next time, I'd cut my rice down to 2/3 cup. Jasmine rice might work well also since it's a sweet rice. My brother introduced me to Coconut Rice when he brought home dessert leftovers from Sawatdee. They add a slice of mango to top it off. YUM!
