Apricot Filled Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Simply Chris  

Thanks for the recipe! I was looking for something comparable to the cookies I got at a Northeastern Iowa bakery as a kid. I made these into half circles, by just folding the dough over. I compromised on the filling, adding soaked apricots to... — MissLinguist Feb 16, 2009

Pumpkin Pie Squares

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Marg (CaymanDesigns)  

I made 1/2 recipe for an 8x8 pan. I used 1/4 of the filling recipe, based on a previous review. I missed the step about baking before putting the topping on, but they still turned out really well (the topping just kind of caramelized and melted... — MissLinguist Sep 19, 2008

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte (Copycat)

Posted by Starfire (aka Wendy)  

Thanks for this awesome recipe! I made a few changes, and I'm sure that others could use this recipe as a base as well, when Starbucks is too expensive or too far away. I made it without the espresso and with soy milk. I added a few drops of... — MissLinguist Sep 19, 2008

Custard (Blender)

Posted by SmHerndon  

I was so excited to try this recipe. I don't think I can give a rating because I made it in China, with soy milk, and in a slow cooker (with the pan on a trivet). It is a good custard, but I was a little disappointed with the crust, which turned... — MissLinguist Feb 6, 2008

Peanut Butter Oatmeal No Bake Cookies (No Wheat / No Egg)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Carambola  

I experimented a little after reading the other reviews. I used dark brown sugar and soy milk instead of milk. The first batch, I used 1/4 of the amount of sugar. The result was just basically pb-covered oats, but they still tasted good. The... — MissLinguist Feb 5, 2008

Quick Butterscotch Steamer

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by puppitypup  

Very easy! I used plain soy milk, which might have changed the flavor a little, but it still tasted good. I had a big craving for butterscotch, but I'm in China now and can't just go buy butterscotch-flavored things. I think this did the trick,... — MissLinguist Feb 5, 2008

Homemade Applesauce

Posted by Bec  

I used this recipe as a basis for my own applesauce. Actually, I have an overabundance of vanilla, and I wanted to check whether anyone had a recipe for applesauce that included vanilla. I used the recipe as written, but I left out the sugar and... — MissLinguist Jan 20, 2008

Laura's Gingerbread

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Sharlene~W  

I'm living in China for a year, so I had to make some adjustments. I think it says a lot that even with the adjustments, this gingerbread turned out great! I used butter instead of shortening. I can't find molasses here, so I substituted 1/2 of... — MissLinguist Dec 12, 2007

Apple Oatmeal Pudding in the Crock Pot

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ladypit  

I live in China, so I don't have an oven and I've been trying to satisfy my cravings with a crock pot. Everything I've made that is supposed to be crunchy or cake-like has turned out kind of rubbery. This recipe turned out the same. The flavor... — MissLinguist Nov 11, 2007

Crock Pot Cherry Cobbler

Posted by bluemoon downunder  

This was my first attempt at making something cake-like in a crock pot. I'm living in China, without an oven, so I think recipes like this will be useful. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, simply because, well, it's a crock pot. I don't have... — MissLinguist Oct 17, 2007

Yogurt Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by swirlycinnacakes  

I'm pleasantly surprised by this cake, which is nice and moist almost like a sour cream cake or pound cake. The lemon is a nice touch, which makes the flavor just a bit light, but not really lemon-y. I think I will cut the sugar a little next... — MissLinguist Aug 26, 2007

Incredible Blueberry Tea Cake

Posted by Kiwiwife  

Definitely good, not too sweet, nice and moist. I made the cake with whole wheat flour and xylitol instead of sugar. The topping was different than I expected, it's more of a spread than a crumble. It was delicious though, and it made the house... — MissLinguist Jun 21, 2007

Chinese Peppered Green Beans

Posted by Julie B's Hive  

DBF is Chinese, and we regularly go to the Chinese market, where I've seen these beans, but haven't found any direction on how to cook them...until now. I couldn't find green peppercorns, and I didn't have cilantro, otherwise followed the recipe.... — MissLinguist Jun 13, 2007

Skinny Minny Lemon Poppy Seed Bread (fruit Loop Bread)

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by gymgirl  

I made this into muffins for portion control (recipe made 9 muffins). I made a few changes, based on what I had on hand. I used real sugar, and reduced it to 2/3c., which was still very sweet for my taste. I also used all whole wheat flour and... — MissLinguist May 31, 2007

Steamy Hot Chocolate

I thought this was great! I used hemp milk, which is sweetened. I also added a little agave nectar and cinnamon and omitted the salt. It was very rich, but good. Thanks! — MissLinguist May 10, 2007

(Raw) Angel-Hair Zucchini "pasta" With Fresh Pesto

Posted by MichiganVeggie  

Great Recipe! I have that issue of Natural Health, but I forgot about it. I didn't have any green tomatoes, and I kind of eye-balled the measurements, but the pesto was delicious. It's my first try with raw "pasta," and it's definitely a... — MissLinguist Apr 17, 2007

Unbelievable Baked Buffalo Wings

Posted by WhoDat  

I'm a vegetarian, but I made these for my BF, and he really liked them. I was really looking for a recipe where I wouldn't have to deal with all that extra oil and frying. This is a perfect recipe! I used chili garlic sauce instead of crushed... — MissLinguist Apr 6, 2007

Fabulous Fiber Chocolate Chip Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Sunflour  

I like the idea of making cookies with more fiber. These cookies didn't really turn out well for me. I followed the recipe, but my dough was too crumbly, so I added a little soy milk. I also added some cinnamon and nutmeg, which made the house... — MissLinguist Mar 14, 2007

Raw Apple Pie

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by A Messy Cook  

This is my first attempt at "raw (un)cooking." I made about a quarter recipe and assembled it in a bowl. I didn't peal the apples, I used dried currants instead of raisins, and I added a little more flax (following a previous comment). Well, it... — MissLinguist Mar 8, 2007

Amaranth-Sunflower-Spelt Bread

Posted by Lfla  

I made a resolution to clean out the cupboard. I bought amaranth to try, but I don't really like it cooked plain (it has a kind of soapy taste). Anyway, I made a half-recipe of this bread just to see if the soapy taste comes through. I didn't... — MissLinguist Feb 28, 2007
