Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2010

I'm enjoying a warm piece of this delicious bread now! I used this recipe as a starting point, and made some adjustments, 1/2 cup oil, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract. Left out cinnamon and chocolate chips. It turned out really moist and flavorful! Lemon and zucchini are a great compliment to each other, who knew?

Apple Carrot Muffins

Reviewed: Aug. 12, 2010

Great! I didn't have an apple so I doubled the carrots and it worked well. I also couldn't find my cinnamon so I used 1/2 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice. Otherwise I follwed the recipe as is, then poured the batter into an 8x8 pan to bake. After cooling, I cut it into squares and it worked perfectly. My husband ate about half the pan!

I love these cookies! This is my first time baking them and I loved them just as the recipe is. I just love the spiciness of dough and they are so easy to just pop into your mouth. I'll definitely keep these in my regular repertoire.

Easy Swedish Apple Pie

Reviewed: May 2, 2010

I was looking for a recipe for an apple dessert and was leaning towards apple pie, but didn't want the hassle of making the crust. This was the perfect solution. The longest part is peeling the apples, but after that it was super simple. I shorted the butter by a 1/4 cup and it made the topping a bit crumblier/crisper, but I loved every bite. The butter melt down into the layers of apples and it's pure deliciousness. I will definitely save this and make it again!

Peach Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009

Also first time pie baker. I didn't crumble the butter enough in the crust so it melted over the pan, but hey, that made it even more delicious. I didn't have all the peaches to use, but can see that it could've used them all because they cook down and flatten a bit. The flavor was delicious and I'll use this one again!

Creamy Banana Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 17, 2009

Oh, yum. I love this recipe. I didn't make the brown sugar filling or use the pecans, but the bread is just scrumptious and moist as is, light in color. I added about a 1/2 teaspoon of salt with the dry ingredients, a cup of chocolate chips, and topped it off with turbinado sugar, which gave it a nice caramel color on top and a crisp sugar crust. I split my batter between two bread pans and baked for 45 minutes and they came out beautifully.

White Bread I

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2009

Holy smokes, this bread turned out amazingly. I also mixed it by hand and baked in the oven. I mixed yeast, sugar, and mild and let stand for about 10 minutes. It was just getting a bit frothy. Then, I added the flour salt and butter (which I softened in the microwave). I covered the bowl with a damp towel and let it rise, punched it down and let it rise again. I would've liked to have let it rise a bit longer the second time, but I was in a bit of a time crunch to get it done. It baked for 35 minutes at 350 degrees, the top got nice and golden, and could've stayed in another 5 minutes or so. It cooled in the pan and when I turned it out, it was gorgeous. It was light and dense at the same time. I can't wait to make this again. I made it last night and have almost just the heel left...

A-Number-1 Banana Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2009

I made this cake by the recipe using 4 defrosted bananas, a then a second time by adding a cup of oatmeal and some raisins. My friends agreed the second recipe was even better, with what they called "the goodies." I'll save this recipe but continue to add the goodies. I think some shredded coconut would also be tasty.

Slow Cooker Vegetable Chili

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2009

I made this chili for my husband because he was sick and it sounded like a wholesome, spicy soup to help heal! I omitted the zucchini and added a can of kidney beans. For the spices, I added 1 Tbls of each, and it's just the right amount of heat for me, especially with the green chilies. My slow cooker is also a rice cooker with just one heat setting which I think is high, so I set it on high for a couple hours and it's perfect.

Vegetable Fried Rice

Reviewed: Jul. 26, 2009

This is a great recipe. It's a great way to use up extra veggies. I used brown Masbati rice per the recipe. For veggies I used green pepper, eggplant, peas, onions, peas, and garlic. I also added firm tofu, cubed, and scrambled eggs. My husband had THREE servings. He's never had three servings of anything I've made. Definitely a keeper

Blonde Brownies I

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2009

Wow! I'm pleasantly surprised! I tried these on a whim for my husband's bday, and they were great. The only modification I made was to sub milk chips for semi-sweet. It was all I had, and they turned out fabulous. I baked these in an 8x8x2. Perfection.

Blueberry Muffins II

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2008

Finally - great blueberry muffins! I honestly followed the recipe to a T (unusual...) and only needed to bake them for 25 minutes. I used paper cups and was sure not to overfill them. They have a nice sweetness to them that perfectly balances the blueberries. I'll definitely keep this recipe and make them again.

Easy Fruit Cobbler

Reviewed: Jul. 26, 2008

I love this recipe and will definitely use it again! I used 2 cups fresh, pitted cherries and made the following modifications: added 1 tsp. vanilla, added approx. 1/4 tsp. salt (eyeballed it), and used 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar. I used a 9-inch pie pan and mine only needed to bake for about 42 minutes. My husband loves it, and when I tasted it, I knew right away it was a keeper!

Best Brownies

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2008

I've never made brownies from scratch. I loved these! I'll always use this recipe, and never a box mix anymore. I followed the recipe, didn't make the frosting, but added some semi-sweet chocolate chips to the batter. The only thing is that I used an 8x8 pan and the batter was spread pretty thin. They brownies still turned out great, but next time I might make more batter so that the brownies are thicker.
