Since I used canned beans and didn't drain them, I didn't add as much water. I also added some chopped green peppers. I don't measure out the spices, but instead add until I like the flavor and it's hot enough for us. Everyone loved this chili.

Grand Marnier Brownies

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2008

I had never made brownies without a mix before this, so was a little concerned starting off. After reading reviews, I used 1/4 cup of Kahlua instead of the Grand Marnier (just because that's what we had on hand) and these came out fantastic! Our guests loved these brownies and have asked me already to make them again. Great recipe!

Spiced Ham Loaf

Reviewed: May 10, 2008

Made this with leftover holiday ham and froze most of it for meals later. Family loves the unique flavors and I have to say it's a great change to normal meatloaf!

Quick Ziti with Swiss Cheese and Ham

Reviewed: May 10, 2008

The cheese seemed to stay in clumps, so next time I think I'll add some milk to help make these creamier. My husband added some spice since the recipe was bland.

Brazilian Black Bean Stew

Reviewed: May 10, 2008

We loved this and have frozen several helpings. I think that freezing it has helped to meld the flavors even more. Next time, I may even add another mango as this seems to have made this recipe special. Family loves this!

Banana Fritters

Reviewed: May 10, 2008

I made them using a fry pan with about 1/2 inch of oil to shallow fry. My husband loved these, but he drizzled chocolate syrup and maple syrup on them to add flavor. I think next time (yes, there will be a next time because we always have bananas), I will try some of the suggestions to add brown sugar or more cinnamon as I feel they need a little something more.

I made these for my husband's birthday (as his request). They were wonderful. We spiced them up and he loved them!

Colorful Corn Chowder

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2006

We enjoyed this very much, although I modified it a bit. I added some crab meat a few minutes before serving it.

Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2006

I am asked to make this for every holiday! I put the chocolate chips in the pie shell prior to adding the mixture so that they don't melt. Prior to this, they seemed to make one big chocolate glob - adding them first took care of this problem. I also use a little less bourbon so it doesn't overpower the other flavors.

Chicken Marsala

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2006

Very easy and delicious. I like to make a little more of the sauce and serve it with rice.

Banana Loaf

Reviewed: Jun. 30, 2006

This was delicious. I made exactly as the recipe stated. We had leftovers for breakfast and it was even better the next day. Very moist and delicious.
