Peanut Butter Noodles

Reviewed: Jan. 24, 2005

What a wonderful recipe! My husband and I really enjoyed this. I did make a few variations. I used 4 oz of thin spaghetti and 2/3 of the sauce ingredients. I did substitute fresh ginger for a little less than a teaspoon of ground ginger. Did not have peanuts or green onions but added in shredded chicken breast and spinach leaves instead. It made a wonderful meal! My husband did comment it did not have enough of a peanut taste, the spiciness was great as was the ginger flavor. For me, it was perfect. The blend of flavors was amazing. Thanks for this wonderful recipe!

Strawberry Cake II

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2005

I made this for my husband's birthday and he loved it. He's not normally a cake eater, but this cake he could not get enough of. I did make a few changes. I used 2 cake pans and baked it for 40 minutes and only used 1/2 cup of oil. I also didn't use any strawberries in the batter, instead I drained the liquid from the frozen strawberries and used the pieces as filling between layers. Also opted for Cool Whip Frosting (from this site). The combination was amazing!

Basic British Scones

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2004

These were fabulous! Loved them, loved them! Crispy on the outside and so very soft and fluffy on the inside. I am a sweet tooth but I count calories, so I substituted the sugar for 1 cup of Splenda and used Country Crock with Yogart spread. I didn't have cream of tartar, so used 4 teaspons of baking powder in place of that and the baking soda. I also added some frozen blueberries. They were really wonderful! And barely a 100 calories each!

Apple Strudel Muffins

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2004

Yummy! I didn't add the crumble and used only 1 cup flour with 1 cup oat bran with halved the sugar to half a cup. Was sweet enough for me! I also stewed the apples a little with 1T brown sugar and 1/2t cinnamon, not sure if this really made a difference.

Oatmeal Banana Cinnamon Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2004

I really enjoyed this! The bread texture is spongy and has great flavor. I was expecting it to dry up pretty quickly, but its still pretty moist after a couple of days! I didn't have any extracts other than vanilla but still loved it! Thanks for the recipe.

Banana Bran Muffins

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2004

I was looking for a lower fat/calorie banana bran muffin so I modified this in combination with another low fat bran muffin recipe. I substituted the butter for 1/4c unsweetened applesauce, only used 1 egg, halved the sugar to 1/4c, increased the wheat bran to 1c and used 1/2c each of wheat flour and all purpose flour. The sweetness was just perfect for me (the banana gives a lot of sweet flavor) and so moist! Each muffin turns out to be about 100 calories, so we're free to munch on them guiltless! The first batch I made used only 2 bananas and 1/2c applesauce, this was a little dryer than using 3 bananas and 1/4c applesauce, but still good!

Low-Fat Blueberry Bran Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 26, 2004

This is great! Having one right now straight from the oven, so delicious and so moist! Love the bran/wheat texture and has just the right amount of sweetness. Would never be able to tell it contains no butter! Unfortunately, I didn't have blueberries, but it still tastes great.

Hawaiian Bread I

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2004

This is very very tasty just on its own. I was actually a little disappointed after trying it when it first came out from the breadmaker, as I was expecting something more after all the rave reviews. The next day though, it tasted so much better! The blend of flavors is excellent, and the texture is so soft, not dry at all, even after the second day. While it was rising, I thought it would turn out to be a dense loaf as it didn't rise as much as I thought it would (some reviewers wrote that it overflowed their 1.5lb breadmaker). It rose very well during baking though, just the right size for my 1.5lb breadbaker, and had a fabulous soft golden brown top crust. I didn't have coconut extract either, and used vanilla. Would definitely like to try it next time with coconut and see how perfectly that turns out. So far, I prefer this bread untoasted (I found toasting detracts from the flavor).

Banana Bread I

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2004

These were really yummy. I used four large bananas instead of the three stated in the recipe. The loaves turned out really moist and sweet, just the way I like them. Everyone at work liked them too!

Portuguese Sweet Bread I

Reviewed: Jun. 19, 2004

This is really yummy and so simple! I absolutely love bread and sweets, so this combination is a winner in my book. The bread did rise right to the very top of my bread maker and I was afraid it would finish its baking cycle uncooked in some parts, as the dough pushing to the small window of the bread maker didn't brown. I was gladly proved wrong though, the bread baked perfectly and the crust was nicely crisp and brown (other than the top) and oh the texture! Was absolutely soft and spongy. The only negative thing I can say about this bread is that it does dry up rather quickly but toasting it eliminates that problem. Great fresh, just as great toasted.

Best Bread Machine Bread

This is suprisingly tasty for a very simple and easy recipe. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great, rose well and had a crusty crust.

Cinnamon Bread I

Reviewed: Jun. 14, 2004

This is a wonderful sweet treat with coffee. I doubled the topping mixture and used brown sugar instead of white. Baked it in a 9" bundt pan for 45 minutes. The cake rose well (almost to the top of the pan) and turned out beautifully with a spongy texture. I bet this would be great with ice cream and whipped cream!
