I agree with the other reviewers who said the liquid/dry ration is OFF. I followed the directions and there was so little liquid all of the flour would not mix in. I'm a very experienced baker so I knew the batter did not look right for a quick bread. I added 2/3 cup milk, which did improve the consistency, but the flavor was bland at best. I don't understand why this recipe has so many 5 star reviews.

Chewy Coconut Cookies

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2006

These cookies were delightful! Sweet, chewy, delicious. :) Like another reviewer I solved the "flat cookie" problem by adding an extra 1/4 cup of flour. I also agree with another reviewer that there is no way you can get 36 cookies out of this. I got 14 using just over a teaspoon of batter for each cookie.

Delicious! We made some with raisins and about 2 tsps of cinnamon. These are also good with apricot jam on top. Yum!

Watermelon Margaritas

Reviewed: Jul. 26, 2006

Pretty good, a little watery on the bottom. Next time we're going to mix the watermelon and ice together instead of piling the fruit on top.

Buttermilk Honey Wheat Bread

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2006

Wonderful, delicious recipe! I didn't use a bread machine and proofed the yeast in 1/2 cup water + 1 tbl sugar. I also added 1 tsp sugar to the dry ingredients. The bread came out light, fluffy and fabulous.

Health Nut Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2006

Pretty tasty, I especially liked the hearty, nutty flavor of these muffins. I only give them 4 instead of 5 stars because, lets face it, decadantly calorie filled muffins taste just a bit more delicious. Still, good recipe.
