Double Chocolate Brownie Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2009

This is the same recipe that is in The Cake Doctor (it's called Darn Good Chocolate Cake). The only difference is she says to bake for only 45-50 min. Mine took 48, any longer and it would be dry. I used a simple sugar glaze on top. I also used 1/2 c. sour cream and 1/2 c. soy milk and only 1 c. chocolate chips. It was delicious.

Butter Flaky Pie Crust

Reviewed: Jan. 24, 2009

The dough was very easy to work with although I did need a bit more water. I only chilled it for 10 min. and the crust did lose its nice crimped shape but didn't shrink much. It was very flaky and had a nice crunch to it. I made mine for pumpkin pie but I think this crust would be best with fruit pies. Overall very tasty, I do use salted butter plus most of the salt called for.

Sweet Corn Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2008

Excellent! Moist and sweet. I only had 1/2 c. sour cream so I added an extra 1/2 c. milk plus 1/8 c. flour. Used 1/3 c. sugar too. Baked in a 9x9 pan for 19 min. It was perfect, everyone loved it!

Fabulous Zucchini Grinders

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2008

These were excellent! I am giving 4 stars since I changed the recipe a bit to make it better. I used zucchini, summer squash, mushrooms, green peppers, and onions. Left the cheese out because that is a lot of cheese and not necessary. Instead I sprinkled Parmesan on top. I also didn't bake them, just spooned the mixture into the bread.

Chocolate Zucchini Bread I

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2008

Mine came out moist but a bit crumbly at the bottom. Not as dense as most quick breads, more cake like. I doubled the chocolate, used half whole wheat/half white flour, half brown sugar/half white. Overall it had an excellent taste and I loved the chocolate chips in it. Baked in a glass pan this took only 55 minutes at 340 degrees. Next time I will add more zucchini.

Peach Raspberry Cobbler

Reviewed: Jul. 26, 2008

This was delicious but needed some alterations. I used brown sugar for the fruit mix, only 3/4 cup milk, and 2 less tablespoons of butter. I also used blueberries because I had no raspberries on hand. The edges had a nice crispy crust texture and the middle was gooey but I think it would be too gooey if you followed the recipe exactly. Next time I will make 1 1/2 recipes for the dough (thought it needed more) but keep the rest the same. I was hoping it would look more like "Sumchelle's" photo. Will try this again though.

Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2008

These are very delicious. I halved the recipe, used a little more banana than called for, substituted brown sugar for white, and used half butter/half oil. They cooked for 20 minutes. Moist, sweet but not overly and had a great banana taste.

Stuffed French Toast II

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2008

It is rich and tastes like it is more complicated than it is. I sprinkled mine with powdered sugar, it was like dessert for breakfast.

Ciabatta Bread

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2008

This was amazing. Everyone loved it. It had a nice crunchy crust with a tender and soft inside filled with air bubbles. The dough is not that wet, I think people exaggerate or just don't like baking bread that much. I just dumped it out of the bread machine, let it rise, then stretched it (make sure to flour your fingers) into 4x12 loaves and let it rise again. I followed the recipe exactly. There is minimal touching involved. Easy and super delicious.

Herbed Batter Rolls

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2008

These were delicious. I realized half way into baking that I had no eggs so I just added a tbs. of baking soda. I also added some spinach and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. They smelled wonderful and were not very dense at all. 4 stars only because the original recipe would probably be too bland for me.

Pumpkin Crumb Cake

Reviewed: May 23, 2008

This was tasty. I replaced 3 tbs. butter for applesauce in the crust and took out 1/8 c. of sugar. The crust was more cake like then a dense bar but was still yummy. I also replaced 1 tbs. butter in the crumb mix with applesauce and used only 1/8 c. sugar and could not tell the difference. Overall this was yummy but I am not sure if I will make it again. I also think that it will taste better tomorrow after refrigerating.

Peppy's Pita Bread

Reviewed: May 10, 2008

Used half whole wheat/ half white flour. Turned out really tasty but the first few did not puff up. They all tasted good, very light and tasted great with a tofu veggie stir fry stuffed inside.

Easy Broccoli Quiche

Reviewed: May 2, 2008

This was good but I made some changes. I used colby jack and extra sharp cheese instead. I made mine without a crust do to time constraints. It came out a bit watery though. The recipe does not list a pan size but says to use a 9inch crust. When I poured my batter into a 9inch pan it overflowed and was way too much filling. Next time I will use a 10inch pan. Overall this was tasty but needed some alterations.

Burger or Hot Dog Buns

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2008

These were amazing. Everyone loved them. I did make two changes. I used 1 1/2 cup bread flour in place of all-purpose. I also let them rise twice as long. They were not dense, but soft and fluffy. Smelled amazing.

Dutch Babies II

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2007

These were very good. Excellent with powdered sugar and strawberries. The baking isn't consistent though. I have made them 3 times, sometimes they bubble up and other times lay flat. Either way they taste the same but not as impressive looking.

Apple Bars

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2007

These were more cake like than dense bars as expected. They were very delicious though. Very light, fluffy with the right amount of taste. I doubled the recipe, and used 1 c. brown sugar, 1/2 c. white sugar.

Janet's Rich Banana Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2007

Reduced sugar to 3/4, added chocolate chips and this came out great. Only problem was the center did not cook all the way but I actually don't mind that at all.
