German Apple Cake I

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2011

I have made this twice already. I use 4 peeled and diced apples and I substitute applesauce for the oil. I just used the apples I had on hand. Gala and Rome. Everyone loved it! It doesn't last long. I agree that it does get very "moist" the second day. It must have something to do with the water content in the apples. No matter. It's still delicious.

Poor Man's Sandwich

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2010

I made this today using egg bread. Excellent. The tanginess of the vinegar in the pickle and the crunch of the cucumber and onion were perfect against the peanut butter and mayo. I will totally make this again and again.

Oven Fried Parmesan Chicken

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2010

This was fantastic! Made this tonite (didn't have parsley) and it was really good. I used bone-in chicken breasts and they remained moist and flavorful. For those of you who haven't gotten your chicken to crisp, just put it under the broiler for the last 2 or 3 minutes. Crispy and brown on the outside, moist and juicy on the inside. Excellent! The butter really added a lot of flavor.

Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2010

This was delicious. I used garlic instead of garlic powder (I think I just read the recipe too fast), but otherwise followed the recipe. I skewered bell peppers and onion in addition to the chicken and pineapple. Served with rice. This was filling, satisfying, and flavorful. This will go in my regular rotation. Excellent flavor.

Honey Mustard Dressing II

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2010

This was fantastic. I didn't even bother adding mayonnaise. Just dijon mustard, honey, and lemon or lime juice or even red wine vinegar. It was delicious. I will make this many times!

Coconut Macaroons III

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2009

I made these for my mother-in-law, as she is a supreme coconut lover! First of all, these were easy to make. I used a silicone mat on a baking sheet and the macaroons didn't stick at all and the bottoms were lightly browned. More importantly, my mother-in-law has not stopped raving about these. She actually said these are the best she has ever had. I melted a chocolate bar and a few drops of light corn syrup in a ziploc bag, then cut the corner and drizzled chocolate over the tops. I have never been much of a coconut fan, but I have to say, these were delicious and addictive. I'm glad I sent the majority of them to her. I plan on making these again and again for my mother-in-law and anyone else who loves coconut macaroons. The ingredient list was so simple. How could you go wrong?

Popovers

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2009

These are fantastic! I buttered ramekins and preheated them in the oven before pouring in the batter. To those of you whose popovers were heavy, you likely didn't let them cook long enough. You really have to let them bake the entire time to allow all the layers to separate. They fall right out of the ramekins when they're done. I love them with a bit of strawberry butter. Fun breakfast alternative.

Mom's Cucumber Salad

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2009

This is very good. I've been making my own version of this for years, except without the sugar. Then the other day I decided my cucumbers were missing something. I found this recipe and added a bit of sugar. Perfect! That was the missing ingredient. It makes all the difference. I include onions in this also. I like the extra crunch.

Peanut Butter Noodles

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009

This was really good. It needs some shaved cabbage and carrots on top, but otherwise this was really perfect. I also added some chili oil because I like spicy. I guess I'm not much for measuring, so I just eyeballed everything (equal parts soy sauce and peanut butter, half as much ginger and honey, etc.). It turned out perfectly. I will totaly make this again. It's really versatile and can be made so many different ways.

Black Magic Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009

This is really similar to my mom's chocolate cake recipe that she's been making since I was about 5. The difference is that her recipe calls for water, and this one calls for brewed coffee. This recipe with the coffee has a much richer flavor! Sshhh....don't tell mom, but I like this one better. For those of you concerned, you cannot taste the coffee AT ALL. It simply makes the chocolate flavor stand out more. I use a cream cheese frosting on top (one brick of cream cheese, 1/2-3/4 stick of softened butter, and at least half a 16oz bag of powdered sugar (stop when it's sweet enough for your taste). if you need any liquid add vanilla by the drop! you don't need much liquid). Anyway, I am making this cake from now on. :)

Oriental Green Bean Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009

These are really great. I often cook green beans by quick sauteing them. I used dried red pepper flakes and low sodium soy sayce, but otherwise followed the recipe. I like oyster sauce very much, and I often try to find recipes to use it, but I didn't find the flavor overwhelming by any means. I really enjoyed these.

Todd's Famous Blueberry Pancakes

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2009

This is the fourth pancake recipe I've tried from this site, and these are by far the best!! I didn't have any blueberries, so I just added another spoonful of sugar and cooked them as is. Excellent! Just like you hope they'll be. I didn't bother waiting an hour for the batter to "activate". I made the pancakes right away. They were great. My husband said these were the best ever. These are my new pancakes for weekly use!

Asian Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2009

This salad dressing is excellent. I didn't make the salad, so this review pertains to the dressing only. I used half the oil as suggested by other reviewers and I used slightly less sugar, as I'm just not a fan of really sweet salad dressings. And it was soooo good! I'm really pleased with this one. It was super easy and so flavorful. I thought there wouldn't be enough soy sauce (I use lite soy), but it was perfect. One of the best I've ever made.

Appetizer Chicken Kabobs

Reviewed: Jun. 13, 2009

This was excellent and easy. I also used brown sugar instead of white because I believe it gives a more complex taste. I let it marinate for a few hours before grilling. Terrific. Next time I'll make some to use as a dipping sauce or to put on rice. Yummy!

Baked French Fries I

Reviewed: May 19, 2009

These were really good!!! I took the advice of another reviewer and was generous with the spices. They were a huge hit in my house. I will make these every time we grill burgers. Delicious.

Byrdhouse Dream Salad Dressing

Reviewed: May 10, 2009

I felt like Italian dressing for my salad, and this one looked good. Plus, I love rice vinegar. I only made enough for 2 salads, in case I didn't like it. The honey made it a bit too sweet for me--I'll cut back next time, but it was still very good. Next time I'll make a full amount in a bottle to save in the fridge. The herbs were good and the combination of vinegars went really well together. My salad was comprised of lettuce, cucumber, tomato, carrot, red bell pepper, radishes, toasted almonds, and some cheddar cheese. Good salad!

Aaron's Missouri Burger

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2009

This was soooo good. I'm so sick and tired of making plain burgers with just ketchup or barbecue sauce on them, and I didn't want to have them AGAIN. So I went looking for something different....and these are terrific! I was a bit leery of the idea of honey mustard and brown sugar in my burger, but it was great. I didn't have onion powder, so I diced some onion and put that in there too. Personally, I enjoyed the different texture of the diced onion in the burger and I'll probably make it that way again. Thanks for the recipe. This is a winner!

Stuffed Green Peppers I

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2009

This was very good. My husband loved it. I used tomato sauce instead of tomato soup, but otherwise followed the recipe. I doubt the sauce made much difference. I will make this again. OK. I made this again. I used spicy tomato sauce this time and it was a great addition. These are good no matter what, but sometimes a bit of spice is good to throw into the routine. :)

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

Reviewed: Mar. 21, 2009

These were really good! I never make pancakes, so I was apprehensive about how they would taste. I am really impressed. I heated the milk and added it to the melted butter and added my egg and stirred them all together with a fork. Then I added them to the dry ingredients, which were mixed separately. I followed the recipe exactly. They rose beautifully and looked perfect. I will totally make these again.

Cucumber Sandwich

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2009

I used to order this sandwich when I worked in San Francisco. They also used 1/2 an avocado and they left it nearly whole! So delicious. My favorite sandwich. When I make it at home I sometimes add sliced radishes or pickles. This is a perfect sandwich!
