Banana Banana Bread

Posted by Shelley Albeluhn  

Not that this needs another review, but oh, wow. Had a ton of bananas resulting from a misunderstanding between my roomates about who would buy bananas when, so I looked for the recipie that used the most bananas possible....and the results were... — BrotherAdso Dec 2, 2006

Bean Curd Szechuan-Style (Ma Po Dofu)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Cinizini  

Excellent ma po! I omitted the pork and its marinate to make this vegetarian, and reduced the oil a bit. However, your sauce measurements are right on — though I think some srichacha might make a good addition. Wo jiao lajiao! — BrotherAdso Nov 27, 2006

Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by *Parsley*  

Very different muffin recipie! I like cutting the PB into the batter before everything else is added, it gives them a very crumbly, moist texture — no chewy or springy muffin here. These are a bit of a hassle — messier than traditional muffins... — BrotherAdso Nov 15, 2006

Minty Fudge Brownies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by flower7  

Good idea, excellent method, but fairly difficult to tell when done, and the mint-fudge balance is a little off — too much on the sweet side, not enough on the chocolate. I bet if I used dark chocolate and mint, these would be perfect.... — BrotherAdso Oct 20, 2006

Raisin Bran Muffins

Posted by Lori Bailey  

Excellent bran muffin! Especially interesting because of how different in texture it is from muffins made with raw bran. I cut down on the oil and sugar just a wee bit. On the success of this recipe, I concocted a similar one for large batches... — BrotherAdso Oct 20, 2006

Revolutionary Burritos

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Cookgirl  

I can't believe I'm the first one to review these! Hail Burrito indeed — these were fabulous, with the spicy sauce, the sweet potatos, and the hearty black beans and crunchy plantains and onions all contrasting and working together beautifully.... — BrotherAdso Oct 8, 2006

Buttermilk Pound Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mom2BreBre  

Needed to find a use for some buttermilk leftover from pancake-making, and this recipe was perfect! Made two moist, even-crumbed and rich loaves that were done in a bit more than an hour and a quarter. Thanks for showing me yet another good use... — BrotherAdso Sep 3, 2006

Gulab Jamuns

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by 1Steve  

While an excellent base for making gulab, this recipe makes the whole thing seem difficult and a little intimidating in terms of ingredients — for example, cardamon and vanilla work as well as rose and saffron for a good syrup, and any kind of... — BrotherAdso Aug 20, 2006

Garbanzo Beans (Chole)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ~Rita~  

Excellent mixture for curry, though I added about 1/2 teaspoon more of all the spices, especially ginger. The times and order of spice addition are all spot on, though, and the tomato sauce is how I like my Chole! One note: this could use with a... — BrotherAdso Aug 19, 2006

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by Bev  

Fantastic cookies! These will be replacing my standard oatmeal cookie recipe in a flash! Made half the batch with chocolate chunks for my little brother, who doesn't like raisins, and made half the rasin ones with honey brushed on top before... — BrotherAdso Aug 5, 2006

Spicy Orange Tofu

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by justcallmetoni  

Fantastic combination of flavors! I cut down on the canola and sesame oils for health's sake, and froze the tofu for better texture and so it would soak up the marinade better. The cilantro was an excellent, thai-ish touch, which made this... — BrotherAdso Aug 1, 2006

Home-Baked Bagels

Posted by Karen=^..^=  

I made these bagels on a lazy Sunday afternoon, subbing all whole wheat flour and some vital wheat gluten for the bread flour. This resulted in needing more water, too. Thus, since I didn't follow it exactly, I can't give five stars. The only... — BrotherAdso Jul 23, 2006

Korean Style Salad Dressing

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend  

Wow! I used this to marinate some tofu, and then used it as the braise sauce in my technique for crispy tofu. When I tossed the rest with some cabbage and served it over brown rice, the result was irresistable. Great dressing / sauce /... — BrotherAdso Apr 27, 2006

Kumquat's Spicy Oriental Stir-Fry

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend  

Excellent stir-fry! I liked the sauce combination, though I probably used a little more chili sauce than called for since I like it hot, and the sesame oil gives a wonderful note. One tip, tought: I would suggest stir-frying or giving a nice... — BrotherAdso Apr 21, 2006

Tvp Taco Skillet

Excellent recipe! Made this quickly after a long day, it definitely satisfies. Nothing quite like a taco, especially for us veggies. I like your simple spice mixture here, it's an excellent base to work from to make a spicier, saucier, etc... — BrotherAdso Apr 19, 2006

Sweet Potato Curry With Spinach and Chickpeas

Mmmm! An excellent savory curry with simple ingredients, and fantastically nutritious to boot! I like my curries much spicier, but I used your spice amounts, and found the subtle blend quite nice --next time, though, hot chiles galore get... — BrotherAdso Apr 17, 2006

Scrambled Eggs with Spiced Mushrooms

The paprika - parsley - black pepper combination was the star here, and definitely worked. Overall, the recipe does require some tweaking to be a little more healthful and less bland. I used three egg whites and one egg, reduced the oil,... — BrotherAdso Apr 16, 2006

Mushroom Fried Rice

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Miraklegirl  

Made this twice, once according to your recipe, once with some substitutions. Overall, this is an excellent base, and the original is excellent only in its simplicity. Adding spicier szechuan seasonings, broccoli, and egg whites gives the dish... — BrotherAdso Apr 5, 2006

Easy Lentil Chili

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Jenny Sanders  

Very nice chili recipe! I have seen few chilis that call for thyme, so this was an interesting experience. The only change I made was adding some corn kernels I needed to get rid of, but corn is a standard addition to chilis. The only... — BrotherAdso Apr 1, 2006

Peanuty Apple Toast

Posted by LUv 2 BaKE  

An interesting variation on the PB sandwich, and a nice cheap snack staple if you make a half sandwich! However, the amount of apple is a bit iffy, and does indeed depend on your bread. The cinnamon is a nice touch, but not really neccessary.... — BrotherAdso Mar 31, 2006
