Powdered Laundry Soap

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Pepper Monkey  

Thank you for submitting this great "recipe"! I was unable to find Fels naptha soap so I used a bar of Sunlight pure soap, which has a nice lemony scent. I did not bother adding any essential oils, as it smelled fine the way it was. One bar of... — J. Ko May 10, 2009

The Best Grilled Steak Ever!

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by breezermom  

You're right, breezermom, this is the best grilled steak ever! I finally go around to trying this and I regret waiting so long. This will be my go-to recipe from now, on! I have made it twice, both times using a nice striploin. The flavour is... — J. Ko Mar 26, 2009

Cheddar Cheese and Chutney Toasted Doorstep Sandwich!

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by French Tart  

This is a really nice change from the ordinary. I used a mango chutney and old cheddar cheese. I found it was a little messy, but I didn't mind licking my fingers! I'm going to have to find some different chutneys to try with this. I also... — J. Ko Mar 24, 2009

Fool's Salt - Sel Fou - French Style Seasoning Salt

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by French Tart  

Five stars for sure! I was unable to find dried horseradish, so I substituted dry mustard powder as suggested by a previous reviewer. I find I'm using this seasoning salt for almost everything. Thank-you Tarty! — J. Ko Mar 24, 2009

Our Daily Bread in a Crock - Weekly Make and Bake Rustic Bread

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by French Tart  

I am very pleased with my first attempt at this bread. I was concerned about how wet the dough was, at first, but it wasn't as sticky as I thought it would be. Yes, I used lots of flour when shaping the loaves. I tinkered a lot with this first... — J. Ko Feb 4, 2009

Baked Brie in Puff Pastry with Apricot or Raspberry Preserves

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by ~Rita~  

I made this just after New Years when we had some friends drop by unexpectedly. Luckily I had taken some puff pastry out of the freezer for another purpose and I had all the other ingredients on hand. I used apricot preserves, almonds, and brushed... — J. Ko Feb 2, 2009

Flank Steak With Coffee-Peppercorn Marinade

Posted by diner524  

Mmmmmmm! This was delicious! We love flank steak (or as my son calls it: frank steak). I marinated the steak for about 18 hours in the fridge. Unfortunately, the weather hasn't really been co-operating so I could not use the BBQ to grill the... — J. Ko Feb 2, 2009

Slice & Bake Coffee Spice Cookies

Posted by MRSJSPANTS *  

These were are very nice cookie and will definitely go on my "make again" list. I did not follow the recipe exactly as listed because I do not use shortening in my baking. I used butter instead. I think I will play with the quantities of spices... — J. Ko Feb 2, 2009

Masala Coffee (Spiced Coffee)

Posted by Dancer^  

I made this for the Comfort Cafe tag game. Excellent flavour combination. I made it using skim milk, but pouring the coffee back and forth between two pots made it creamier than I would have imagined. I had to play around a bit with the sugar... — J. Ko Feb 2, 2009

Chocolate Body Scrub

Posted by Pumpkie  

This was a lot of fun! Won't go into the details, but it is tasty too! It was a nice way to change up the routine in a 13 year marriage, and it also left our skin satiny smooth! The tub cleaned up easily when we were finished. — J. Ko Jan 30, 2009

Nutella Hot Chocolate

Posted by GoKittenGo  

I, too, made this for the Comfort Cafe tag game. I'm with the other 84 reviewers; this is awesome and highly addictive! I made this with skim milk and it was still very rich and creamy. It's probably a very good thing that I used the rest of my... — J. Ko Jan 30, 2009

Chili With Cocoa and Salsa

Posted by Kat's Mom  

Thank you, Kat's Mom, for sharing this recipe. I made it for the January 2009 Comfort Cafe. I used 1 lb of mild Italian sausage and omitted the jalapeno peppers because my children don't do spicy. DH and I added a dash of chipotle pepper sauce and... — J. Ko Jan 30, 2009

Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted by BecR  

Wow! These were absolutely delicious cookies! I am a total sucker for chocolate and hazelnut and these filled the bill. The coffee added a certain "je ne sais quoi" to the recipe, as it took it to the next level. I do admit to making one change to... — J. Ko Jan 30, 2009

South of the Border Coffee

Posted by Caroline Cooks  

I haven't tried this yet, but I will very soon! I was just looking at the directions and thinking that if one had a French press, it would make the steeping and serving steps quite easy. Just pour the water and spice blend over the coffee in the... — J. Ko Jan 15, 2009

" Whatever Floats Your Boat" Brownies!

Posted by Karen=^..^=  

Thank you Karen! These are my new favourite brownies. :yummy: They don't last very long in our house. I've kept my add-ins fairly traditional (1/2 c chocolate chips, 1/2 c chopped pecans), but I'm definitely going to try other flavours. — J. Ko Nov 11, 2008

I was wondering what to do with the last of my left-over Thanksgiving turkey and found this recipe suggested in a thread in the Community Cafe. I have never tried any kind of Marsala recipe in the past, so I have nothing to compare this to. I have... — J. Ko Oct 15, 2008

Collucci Bros. Meatloaf Recipe

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by nursecynthia  

Made and reviewed for PAC Fall 2008. I would have to say that this meatloaf recipe is not the best I have ever tasted, but certainly not the worst. It just seemed a little bland to my taste; even with the seasoned bread crumbs. Giving an actual... — J. Ko Oct 15, 2008

Sweet Chili Lime Chicken

Posted by The Obvious Cook  

I made and reviewed this recipe for PAC Fall 2008. I have decided not to give this recipe any stars because I was not able to find a key ingredient; the Adams Teriyaki Marinade, which I assume is a dry spice mix. I ended up using my own go-to... — J. Ko Oct 15, 2008

Strawberry Chiffon Pie

Posted by nursecynthia  

Reviewed for PAC Fall 2008. This was a very light, refreshing pie which will be made often in the future. I have had similar pies in the past but I loved the extra "zing" from the addition of the lime juice and zest. Thank you, nursecindy, for... — J. Ko Oct 7, 2008
