Disappearing Apple Cake

Posted by Mommy Bean  

I just loved this concept of lots of apples held together by some cake! I didn't rate with stars, as I made significant "healthy" changes. My changes were to use all white whole wheat flour, sub the 1/2 cup oil with 1/2 cup of applesauce, and... — Dorie's Lori Oct 13, 2009

Cabbage and Apple Slaw

Posted by akgrown  

This was a refreshing change from my usual cole slaws, and I would definitely make it again. I really liked the apple with the cabbage! I followed it pretty much as written, although I used less dressing and since I had a tart apple, I did add a... — Dorie's Lori Sep 24, 2009

Lemon-Cream Cheese Frosting

Posted by JamesDean'sGirl  

This frosting was dreamy and good, and easy to make. Not too lemony, and easy to spread. (It turned out that I wanted a much zingier lemon taste, so I ended up adding a ton more lemon juice and powdered sugar. I also think my overmixing... — Dorie's Lori Sep 5, 2009

Currant Jelly

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Molly53  

This method worked great for me! I never made jelly before, and I only had maybe 1 1/2 cups of currants (mixed), but they needed using fast! So, per this recipe, I added a little water, mashed and cooked a few minutes to soften, strained (in my... — Dorie's Lori Aug 3, 2009

Perfect Flourless Chocolate Cake

Posted by Catfish Charlie  

YUMMY! I would definitely give it 5 stars, except I monkeyed with it, and cannot fairly judge it as written. I added 1/2 lb of chopped dried apricots, along with 1/2 jar apricot preserves. When it was cool, I glazed it with the rest of the... — Dorie's Lori Apr 11, 2009

Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies

Posted by Caryn Dalton  

First time making meringues - these came out great! I did omit the cocoa powder, and upped the vanilla. I used the mini chips, and they came out very chocolately. Next time, I might try 8 oz. to have a higher proportion of cookie, although my... — Dorie's Lori Apr 10, 2009

Chocolate French Toast

Posted by Kree  

Just tried this, and liked it, but my dense whole wheat bread overpowered the flavor. I will definitely try this again with a lighter bread. Also, I found the chocolate flavor very mild, so for personal preference, I plan to try doubling the... — Dorie's Lori Feb 8, 2009

Skillet Ziti With Chicken & Broccoli

Posted by Teri G.  

Mmmm! Tastes like I made restaurant food! Besides being quite tasty, it was quick and easy - I love the idea of cooking pasta in the pan instead of boiling it in a pot of water. Plus, the pasta takes on flavor that way. I had cooked chicken... — Dorie's Lori Feb 5, 2009

Baklava Salmon (Salmon With Honey, Butter, Walnuts, and Mustard)

Posted by ~TigerJo~  

DELISH! All my guests loved it, and I can't wait to serve again. After reading a handful of the reviews, I varied the quantities slightly, and next time I will vary a bit more. For 2 lbs of fish (a double recipe), I will double the crumbs and... — Dorie's Lori Jan 11, 2009

Chocolate Pomegranate Seeds

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Julesong  

These juicy, bursting pomegranate seeds were so delicious with the chocolate! Very different, and very easy, also. When my seeds were very dry before folding into the chocolate, I got beautiful, dark, glossy chocolates. I later folded more... — Dorie's Lori Jan 1, 2009

Lemon Pound Cake with Lemon Syrup

Posted by spatchcock  

I didn't make the cake, but I used this Lemon Syrup to brush on top of German Lemon Oven Pancake, and it was a 5 star combination! The syrup really added a lemmony zip, and it was so simple! — Dorie's Lori Dec 21, 2008

Brown Rice and Pigeon Peas (Arroz Con Gandules)

Posted by Mary the Disturbed Stick Woman  

Oops - Don't try this in a rice cooker! I just tried that, and it didn't cook properly. I ended up finishing it up in the oven, but it didn't come out great, texturally. I do, however, think this will be a great recipe, and I'll surely make it... — Dorie's Lori Dec 12, 2008

Savory Rugelach

Posted by acerast  

I have chosen to give 5 stars, based mostly on the delicious taste, and partly on the wonderful concept of savory rugelach! My mind is chock full of ideas for other fillings for this dough! However, I must tell you that I did not follow the recipe... — Dorie's Lori Sep 1, 2008

Banana Banana Bread

Posted by Shelley Albeluhn  

Great recipe! No stars, because I altered it so much, and, besides, it doesn't need any more 5 star ratings. My modifications were in the name of health... After experimenting, I now use all whole wheat flour, replace the butter with... — Dorie's Lori Jul 25, 2008

Grandma Norn's Unbelievable Blackberry Cake

Posted by Monica Livesay  

Well, I really loved this cake, and couldn't stop munching on the leftovers! The rest of the family was more neutral - I can only surmise they were still still full from the big dinner we had. It was very sweet. It was fun, also, as not one... — Dorie's Lori Jul 9, 2008

Iron Mike's Mocha Syrup - Chocolate Syrup for Espresso Drinks

YUM! I am not using stars, as I made significant changes (Splenda), but I do think this is a 5 star recipe. So chocolatey! And, I much prefer this recipe to another recipe I tried involving cooking the ingredients together for a few minutes;... — Dorie's Lori Jun 5, 2008

Old Fashioned Butterscotch Pudding

Posted by LoversDream  

Mmmmmm! I'd like to give the flavor 10 stars. It was butterscotchy, but I could also taste a caramel taste. I just loved it! I didn't give it 5 stars because the texture of mine was not smooth - I think they call it "grainy" in a pudding. It... — Dorie's Lori Apr 1, 2008

I know this recipe from Mrs. Chiang's Szechwan Cookbook, by Ellen Schrecker. I have made it many times, and it is delicious. (In fact, I recommend the entire cookbook, because there are other great recipies in there, too.) — Dorie's Lori Mar 20, 2008

Dhaniya Chicken

Posted by Sage  

Loved this, plus it's a bit different! The spices really seasoned the chicken! I made a double recipe for a potluck, and I used skinless thighs, cut in half. For the peppers, I didn't know what was meant by "6 chilies" and I didn't want it... — Dorie's Lori Sep 30, 2007
