Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies III

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2009

These are great. I used 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup olive oil and I added 1/2 cup ground flax seed. I also used 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup white flour. My kids were thrilled. I followed the other reviewers advice and didn't try to move them for at least 2 minutes and I flattened each cookie with the back of a spoon after dipping the spoon in cold water before flattening each cookie. No crumbling at all! Yum.

Black Bean and Couscous Salad

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2009

I loved this. Even my 2 year old tolerated it. My husband who does not like couscous did not like it so it apparently does not always covert. He did say he loved all the flavors except the couscous texture (I used whole wheat couscous). I ran out of green onions before I made this so I used red onions. It was better the next day when the red onions had mellowed.

Cajun Pasta Fresca

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2008

This recipe was okay. I followed it exactly. Like other reviewers I agree there is not enough sauce for the amount of pasta. I used McCormick Cajun seasoning and did not think it was exciting or different at all. If I were to do it again I would probably double the parsley and the Cajun seasoning.

Black Beans and Rice

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2008

I think this recipe is very good. I added 1 T oregano with the broth and cooked with rice. I used 2 t cumin, 2 t tumeric, and added 1 can of diced tomatoes at the end. My 19 month old ate 2 1/2 bowls and my other 2 kids finished their first bowl. 3 kids eating what is served is a rarity.

Chocolate Spiders

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2008

These were good and fun. My 3 toddlers loved helping and it was so easy that I didn't loose my mind working them through the recipe. I used regular chocolate chips.

Yakisoba Chicken

Love this recipe. I love Japanese Yakisoba and I love this too even though it is an Americanized version. Spicy which I like a lot.

Baingan Bharta (Eggplant Curry)

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2008

Loved this recipe. I pureed the jalapeño to avoid hot spots. My kids ate it too (especially the baby) I just removed their portion before I added the pureed jalapeño.

Exquisite Pizza Sauce

Very good. I made with only 1 T honey and a few other tweaks based on what I had on hand and the sauce was awesome. Very good base recipe.

Greek Lentil Soup (Fakes)

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2007

This soup has a great taste and is easy to prepare. I think I might try lemon juice instead of the vinegar next time but I did like the vinegar.

Veggie-Bean Brunch Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2007

Thought this was very good. I added cayenne pepper. I used great northern beans instead of lima beans. I served it for Easter because I was looking for something not at all sweet to balance the Easter Morning candy buzz.

Banana Oatmeal Crumb Cake

Very good cake. I used whole wheat flour and it turned out great. I am going to try to decrease the sugar next time. I added 1 T flour to topping.

Black Bean and Corn Salad II

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2006

Maybe I was expecting too much because of all the outstanding reviews. This was good but I served it at a party and didn't get any rave reviews. I think if I made it again I would increase cayene and add the optional cilantro. It didn't have enough flavor for me.

Basic Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2006

Delicious frosting. I followed the advice of other reviewers and only used 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar. I used this frosting on the "Crazy Cake" recipe. It was a great combo. I can see making this anytime I need a cake.

Crazy Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2006

This cake was great. Everyone loved it. I can't believe how quick it was to make. I used Cream Cheese Frosting II (with only 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar instead of 4 cups). This is a new favorite.
