Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2011

These turned out great. The only change I made was to use 1c. white flour, and 1/2 c. wheat flour. It made just enough for 6 decent size pancakes. Perfect breakfast for 2.

Spinach, Caramelized Onion, and Muenster Au Gratin Potatoes

Reviewed: Apr. 24, 2011

I couldn't find Meunster, so I substituted half Gruyere and half Emmental. It was fantastic!

French Silk Chocolate Pie II

Reviewed: May 13, 2010

Really easy! I ended up using 8 T. of cocoa powder, which made it very chocolaty and not too sweet. I added the eggs whole, not split into yolks and whites.

I used Parmesan Regiano in the crust and in the cheesecake. I used half reduced fat philly and half original philly and Gruyere cheeses in the cheesecake. I didn't use the waterbath as my cheesecake pan doesn't fit in any larger dishes! This made a very large cheesecake, and took forever to bake. But it was amazing! My friends were skeptical when I told them it was a savory cheesecake, but not after they tried it!

Crispy Chocolate Log

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009

I made the recipe as stated. The only thing was that I rolled it along the long edge. They were still about 3 inches in diameter, so I'm glad I didn't roll them on the short edge! They would have been huge :)

Crab & Avocado Salad with Fruit Salsa

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2009

This was so good! I used nectarines, and they paired nicely, but I will try mango next time. I bet it will be more fantastic! Thanks!

Angel Food Cake III

Reviewed: Jul. 4, 2009

I got a bit intimidated when I watched the video, with all of the cleaning all utensils with vinegar, and the special pan and all. Mine turned out almost perfect, but it did fall a bit while in the oven, and maybe that's because I wasn't meticulous enough, or folded the dry ingredients too much. But it still tasted great, and didn't collapse! I did use a regular bundt pan as I didn't have an angel food cake pan. No problem at all. And i think it's a prettier shape! Great recipe!

Colorful Black Bean Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 4, 2009

I stuck to the recipe, except that I probably only used half a pint of cherry tomatoes as I don't like them that much! It was great, and received good reviews from my friends as well. Thanks!

Flan de Coco (Coconut Flan)

Reviewed: May 15, 2009

I used a can of lite coconut milk instead of the evaporated milk, and did not add sugar to the custard. This turned out amazing! A huge hit at work :)

Spinach and Mushroom Pinwheels

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2009

These were the hit of my New Year's party, thanks! I added a bit more to the spices. I added 1/2 tsp white pepper, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1/2 tsp dried marjoram.

Sugar Cookie Icing

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2008

Perfect icing that stayed soft for quite a long time. The icing hardened over night and the cookies didn't even stick together when stacked the next morning! The almond extract really makes it nice. Perfect!

California Plum and Quinoa Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2008

I made a few changes since I was missing some ingredients. I used about 2 T. chopped yellow onion instead of green onion. I used red wine vinegar instead of white. I used pine nuts instead of walnuts. And I only used extra virgin olive oil, no flax seed oil. But it was still pretty good. My boyfriend didn't like it, it was too "California" for him. I think this is a good dish to take to a bbq, as the vinegar gives it quite a strong finish. If you can make it the night before, the flavors are better after it has been sitting for a while. Great recipe, and I'll make it again, even if for just lunch for myself!

Cowboy Cookies III

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2008

Finally, a chocolate chip cookie recipe that worked with my Norwegian ingredients! Normally they are too cakey. I follwed earlier advice and used 3/4c. each of light brown sugar and regular refined sugar. I also used one egg and one egg yolk. I didn't measure the butter, and I think I might have been a bit less than 1c. I also just ran out of white flour, so I used 1 1/2 c. white flour and 1/2 c. havre (wheat) flour. These turned out perfect, a little bit browned on the bottom, but fat and gooey on the inside! Thanks!

Brazilian Chicken with Coconut Milk

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2008

This chicken turned out great! I added extra turmeric and cumin to the sauce. I also used canned diced tomatoes as I couldn't find nice ripe tomatoes this time of year. Rave reviews all around, thanks!

Sea Bass Cuban Style

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2007

This turned out wonderful! The only thing I did differently was use a mix of garlic and chili marinated green olives from my local grocer. I think the little bit of chili really enhanced the flavors.

Flourless Chocolate Cake II

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2007

I made this in a small bundt pan. When I took it out of the oven it was at least 2 inches tall, but it collapsed to about 1 inch. Maybe flourless cakes always do that. But it tasted fabulous. I used Ghiradelli's 60% cocoa bittersweet choc chips, and a local brand of cocoa powder. I received rave reviews!
