Connie's Zucchini "Crab" Cakes

Reviewed: May 23, 2013

Instead of using bread crumbs I used panko crumbs, omitted the old bay and used fresh cilantro. Added 1/4 cup of the frozen mex corn mix and 1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken for a main meal. Drain the shredded zucchini. Served them w/ Marie's chipolte ranch dressing on the side.

Cheesy Hash Browns

Reviewed: May 23, 2013

I found these particular hash browns not very potatoe-y. Basically then the dish tasted like sour cream and cheese. I think with a stronger tasting hash brown, this recipe would be much better.

Crispy Barbequed Tofu Slices

Reviewed: May 23, 2013

I really liked this , one thing for me is I found it to be a bit dry but that's probably my fault since I didn't freeze it but I baked it twice! I personally would do this again with egg substitute and without baking it to firm up the tofu at the beginning.

Paleo Cashew Butter Cookies

Reviewed: May 23, 2013

The thicker, richer, moister, denser and more jam packed a "nut cookie" is...the more we love it! These hit our mark...and surpassed our expectations...thank you!!! Honestly...we "kick it up a notch with dark chocolate chunks...and sometimes coconut...I also sprinkle with salt or sugar...depending my cravings.

Grilled Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

Reviewed: May 22, 2013

This was good for breakfast. I tried it several different ways: with whole grain bread and with buttermilk bread, and grilled with butter and with cooking spray. Whole grain bread is the way to go and the spray comes out equally as good as real butter! My husband said it was missing something and put honey on his.

"Pantry Raid" Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Reviewed: May 22, 2013

Very tasty dish. I did make minor changes--I had a 1/2 red pepper leftover and about 1 serving of corn so I added those. I also used my own homemade taco seasoning to control the salt. Next time I may omit the cornbread mix and serve over rice. I also added some fresh lime juice and cilantro to each serving.

Butterfinger Cookies

Reviewed: May 22, 2013

These cookies sure do taste good. They spread out a lot while baking causing them to come out too thin. I baked them in a 350 degree oven, used parchment paper and took them out a bit under-baked. Used my cookie scoop, floured, because the dough was sticky. The cookies are thin so I thought not the prettiest but nonetheless we ate them right up.

Cranberry Chutney I

Reviewed: May 21, 2013

This was ok but I really didn't care for the flavor profile. I like cinnamon, ginger, allspice and clove but in this dish they overpowered the cranberry and the turkey. I wish I had just made my tried and true cranberry-orange relish.

Megan's Granola

Reviewed: May 21, 2013

I love this recipe and especially appreciated the reviews that caution for over roasting! I wouldn't have known that the granola crisps up as it cools so when you take it out it's still kind of moist! I followed a couple of other suggestions - omitted the brown sugar completely and it was plenty sweet enough for me. I also used 1/2 cup butter instead of the oil - just my preference - and it tasted delicious! One other thing - I wanted to preserve the health benefits of using raw honey so I didn't boil the mixture of honey, syrup and (in my case) melted butter. Worked out fine.

Oatmeal Jam Squares

Reviewed: May 21, 2013

I omitted the nuts and used more oats (one person these were being served to has a nut allergy) and used blackberry jam. I wanted to jazz them up a bit so I made a simple confectioner's sugar glaze with lemon juice and a little of the same jam used in the filling once they were completely cooled. So quick and easy---delicious!
