Baked Cinnamon Donuts Doughnuts

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Seasoned Cook  

These are fantastic! The only problem I had was getting them out of the pan, even though I used a nonstick, and brushed it liberally with melted butter. Next time I'm going to try a paste of flour and butter, and see if that works better. A good... — Meryl Nov 9, 2009

Silky Lemon Pudding

Posted by Sydney Mike  

This was delicious, but much too tart for my taste. I decreased the lemon juice by a few Tbsp and added a few extra Tbsp of sugar. I also omitted the butter. It turned out great. Thanks! — Meryl May 15, 2009

Oven Glazed Caribbean Chicken

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by looneytunesfan  

This was fantastic! I cut down the sugar and salt, and added extra virgin olive oil instead of butter to the glaze. (I added the oil after boiling the other ingredients). I served the chicken with some lime wedges, and it was even better with the... — Meryl Mar 21, 2009

Vermont Cheddar Potato Soup

Posted by Mille® ™  

Unfortunately, I found this to be pretty bland, even though I added 4 cloves of garlic, lots of smoked paprika, and several other spices. I liked that it was fairly low in fat, but the flavor was just not there. — Meryl Mar 5, 2009

Blueberry Muffins

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Denise in NH  

Update: First time I made these, I had trouble removing them from the pan. I've made them many times since, and now I use muffin liners - I lightly grease them, plus the top of the pan. I use about 2 cups frozen blueberries, unthawed, and add a... — Meryl Mar 2, 2009

Vegetable Tempura With Honey-Mustard Sauce

Posted by Manami  

This was very good, nice and crispy. I used carrots, cauliflower, and zucchini. Next time I might add some broccoli. I omitted the mustard sauce and used an Asian dipping sauce instead. Thanks for the recipe! — Meryl Feb 3, 2009

Cilantro Pesto

Posted by Dragonshoes  

I found this pretty bland until I added about 2 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice - it really picked it up, and made all the difference. I used about 1/3 cup walnuts instead of almonds, a little more than 1/4 cup parmesan (I used Parmigiano Reggiano),... — Meryl Jan 10, 2009

Cuban Shrimp Stew

Posted by Leslie in Texas  

This was very good. The tomato paste was a little too sweet and concentrated for me, so next time I'll either cut it down or substitute 1 - 1 1/3 cups canned San Marzano tomatoes, chopped, for the tomato paste and water. I also added more garlic... — Meryl Dec 3, 2008

Chocolate Pecan Bourbon Cake (Low Fat!)

Posted by Heather V.  

I made this cake a few times several years ago, and it's the ultimate lowfat almost-flourless chocolate cake. It's nice and deep chocolatey, and so creamy and luscious that it's hard to believe it's lowfat! — Meryl Jul 28, 2008

Lemon Trout Almondine

Posted by Marie  

This was very good, simple and fresh tasting. It brought out the delicate taste of the trout, rather than overpower it. I cooked the fillets just on the flesh side, and they were nicely browned. Thank you for a delicious recipe. — Meryl Jun 27, 2008

Gallo Pinto (Costa Rican Rice and Beans)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Kozmic Blues  

This was delicious! I used a little more oil (extra virgin olive oil), a touch more of the spices, 4 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce, (the black beans were salt-free, so it needed the extra salt), and about 2 1/2 cups of brown rice. I tried both... — Meryl Apr 1, 2008

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by P4  

These were fantastic! I used 1 cup creamy, lightly salted natural peanut butter, and 6 1/2 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (Ghirardelli). I dropped the first batch by rounded tsp and the second batch by very rounded Tbsp, and pressed them slightly... — Meryl Feb 6, 2008

Southwestern Chicken Skillet

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Lainey6605  

This was fantastic. I made a few minor changes, ie, used sharp cheddar instead of Monterey Jack, omitted the salt, used a little less mustard, used a few more spices in addition to the chili powder and cumin, etc. I thought the combination of... — Meryl Jan 21, 2008

Chocolate Chunk Macadamia Coconut Cookies

Posted by MarieAlice  

I made these last night and they're great! I used almonds instead of macadamias, reduced the sugar by 25%, and cut down the salt. When I tried to remove a few cookies from the sheet after 1 minute, they completely fell apart, so I let the rest of... — Meryl Oct 7, 2007

Chocolate Coconut and Pecan Cookies

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

I was very disappointed with these cookies. The flavor was decent, but I hated the texture, which was cakey. I wish there had been some sort of description posted in the first place, so I wouldn't have wasted my time and energy on these. I stored... — Meryl Jul 5, 2007

Tons of Blueberry Coffee Cake

This was excellent. Beautiful texture and taste. I added a little lemon zest and vanilla extract to the batter, plus I slightly reduced the brown sugar, and increased the cinnamon in the topping. I used large frozen blueberries, unthawed, and... — Meryl Jun 19, 2007

Mexican Bean Burgers

Posted by spatchcock  

This was delicious. I used less ketchup and added several Tbsp of very chunky salsa, along with a little lime juice, plus extra chili powder and cumin. The patties held together when formed, but when I turned them over in the pan, they completely... — Meryl May 9, 2007

Strawberry Coffee Cake

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

This was delicious, and moist overall, except in a few spots where the moisture from the strawberries didn't soak in. I used 2 cups of strawberries instead of 1 1/2, and next time I may add a little more melted butter to the batter. I baked it... — Meryl May 5, 2007
