Rice with Summer Squash

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2011

I recommend chopping the squash fairly small in order for it to tenderize quickly.

Low Fat Apple Bran Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2011

They are a little bland, even after adding a tsp. of vanilla and cinnamon. I used 1 whole egg instead of 2 egg whites. I also added raisins for some more sweetness.

Pretty good, but the batter is runny.

Chili-Lime Chicken Kabobs

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2011

Didn't change anything, but I let the chicken marinate for about 10 hours, which made it very tender.

I made a few changes - I used all coconut milk instead of water, which made the rice very creamy; substituted onion for the shallot b/c I didn't have one on hand; and added salt for a little more flavor. Overall, it is very good and I make it again.

Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2007

The absolute best chocolate chip cookies. This recipe has become my standard. I usually use cheesecake flavored instant pudding. They also freeze pretty well too.

Green Bean and Portobello Mushroom Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2006

I used fresh green beans instead of canned, which makes a huge difference. I topped the casserole with cheddar flavored fried onions to get the best of both worlds. I think was a little much. Next time I would just use the plain onions.

So tasty. I think this is the best way to serve sweet potatoes. I will definitely make this again.

I don't know what I did wrong, but it was terrible. In fact I pitched the entire batch.

Frozen Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2006

Excellent pie. Because I love pumpkin I only added 1 cup of cool whip for a really powerful pumpkin flavor. Doing that also made all of the ingredients fit perfectly into the pie pan. My only complaint was that the ice cream got a little icy. Any suggestions to remedy that for next time?

Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2006

The cookies were not as favorful as I expected. I added a teaspoon of vanilla, a pinch of nutmeg (next time I will add more), and raisins. I'm still on the hunt for a perfect oatmeal cookie recipe though.

Fancy Brownies

Reviewed: May 13, 2006

They were a little crumbly, but good. I think they would be even better with reese cups instead of rolos.

Seven Layer Tortilla Pie

Reviewed: May 5, 2006

The dish I used was slightly smaller than the tortillas. This made it very easy for all ingredients to stay in place. I also used a little non-stick cooking spray in the bottom as suggested, and nothing stuck. Finally, I didn't mash the pinto beans, and it turned out just fine. Great vegetarian recipe, and a nice change from tacos.

Baingan Bharta (Eggplant Curry)

It was OK, it tasted like something was missing. I won't be making this one again.

Home-Style Brown Rice Pilaf

Reviewed: Apr. 16, 2006

I was happy with the recipe, it was not as bland as other reviewers said. I do agree that this dish tries to be more like fried rice than pilaf. I think I will do without the eggs next time.

Strawberry Oat Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 21, 2006

I followed the recipe with a few exceptions: 1) I substituted 1/2 of the oil with applesauce, 2) I didn't have buttermilk so I used whole milk, and 3) I added a little cornstarch as recommended by another user. The muffins turned out fine, not as mushy as I expected after reading other reviews. The taste was OK, I will probably try a different recipe next time.
