Four-Bean Taco Chili
Um, Yum!! To start with, how easy are the instructions? Brown beef, add rest of ingredients. I can do that! The ingredients? If you don't already have most of these in your cupboards, you can easily pick them up and know exactly what you are looking for. I made one change (I know, I hate it when people do this), but it really is about preference. I HATE tomato paste!! So, I exchanged it for Ro-Tel tomatoes and decreased some of the tomato juice. Also, this is not an overly hot-spicy chili, as written. It was just right for my no-spicy taste buds. But can be easily adjusted for those who prefer more kick! This is a keeper!

Coconut Cream Cake I
This cake was very rich. I wish I had read that others only used half the cream or omitted the sweetened condensed milk. If I make it again, I will do that. My cake ended up kind of soggy and way too sugar-y.

Jen's Hamburger Soup
This was really quite tasty. The store did not have savoy cabbage, so I had to use bok choy. I also did not put the full amount of carrots in. I did have to increase the water as my veggies started to stick to the bottom of the pot. I also did not have flavored salt or garlic salt, but adding pepper at the end was fine. It is very hearty. My favorite part was the squash and while I did not measure it, I used a whole buttercup squash, so I'm sure there was more than 3 c. Definitly make again.
