Delicious!!! This recipe deserves more than 5*, as it is so easy to make and tastes just amazing. I have made it twice within the last ten days. The first time I didn't get to try it as it was for a fundraising cake sale at work, but the feedback... — -Sylvie- Feb 17, 2008

Cookie Frosting

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by crawfish pie  

This works great. I halved the recipe as i only wanted to ice about a dozen of cookies for my Halloween graveyard cake. It looked loevely and made it easy to use the little tubes of writing icing on the cookies. I also placed a few sweets into the... — -Sylvie- Nov 2, 2007

Grilled Vegetable Couscous

Posted by A Messy Cook  

This is really easy to make and very similar to how I often make couscous. I grilled the vegetables in the oven as it wasn't the weather for a BBQ. The only other thing I changed was to replace the thyme with corriander as I had some that I wanted... — -Sylvie- Oct 26, 2007

Porridge With Mashed Banana

Posted by Ivanamonica  

I like porridge for breakfast, especially in winter, as it's warming and gives me just the right slow-releasing energy I need. Adding a mashed banana to the top makes a nice change from having it just plain. I also indulged and had a little maple... — -Sylvie- Oct 21, 2007

Black Bean Chili Con Carne

Posted by pattikay in L.A.  

I'm really sorry, but the recipe didn't really work for me. I did everything as directed (except from using a green bell pepper instead of a red one, but that couldn't have made much of a difference), but even after 2 1/2 hours in the oven my... — -Sylvie- Oct 17, 2007

Honey Glazed Carrots

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Sandra Hyde  

This was a lovely side dish. I just used the honey and left out the sesame seed as it wouldn't have gone with the rest of the meal. The honey adds a very subtle extra flavour and sweetness to the already naturally sweet carrots. Thanks for sharing. — -Sylvie- Oct 12, 2007

Kielbasa Casserole

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Dancer^  

This is pretty good and easy to make. The only thing I'd change would be to cook my sauerkraut before adding it in future. I usually add a few juniper berries, a few peppercorns and a bay leave to the pan and simmer my sauerkraut for half an hour... — -Sylvie- Oct 11, 2007

Mango Salsa

Posted by David Ball  

This is a great recipe. the salsa tastes so fresh and the chili gives it a nice kick. The only thing I changed was to add about half a chopped red onion. I served it with grilled chicken, and salad in pita bread. Will make this again, thanks for... — -Sylvie- Oct 9, 2007

Italian Breaded Chicken

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Elena Bedner  

This ie a really good recipe for baked chicken. It's flavoursome with a nice crispy coating. The only thing I changed was to use Panko instead ordinary breadcrumbs. I'll make this again. Thanks for sharing. — -Sylvie- Oct 9, 2007

Easy Lemon Pound Cake

Posted by jean1  

I used oil instead of butter and got a very dense moist cake. The dough was more like a batter and as I'm not sure it was meant to be that way. That's why I'm only leaving a comment and no rating. I'll try this recipe again and will make it as... — -Sylvie- Oct 9, 2007

Butternut Squash Soup

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by caetb  

This is really yummy. It's well worth the effort of roasting the squash first. It really brings out the sweetness and I guess it also makes the soup more creamy. Once I had pureed the soup i added another cup of vegetable stock, instead of water,... — -Sylvie- Sep 5, 2007

The Perfect Cup of Tea-British Style

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Little Bee  

It says on my neighbour's garden shed: If in doubt have a cup of tea! I think many people here in the UK would agree with that philosophy. I'm not native but have come to love a good 'cuppa'. I've stopped taking sugar in mine and I only steep it... — -Sylvie- Jul 27, 2007

Delicious and Easy Banana Bread or Muffins

Posted by Recipe Junkie  

I used this recipe to make muffins as I had some very ripe bananas that needed using. The only thing that I changed was to reduce the sugar by 1-2 tbsp and instead adding a few drops of vanilla essence. I'd probably reduce the sugar even further... — -Sylvie- Jun 18, 2007

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are great cookies. Mine didn't really spread out while baking and ended up being quite thick, but delicious nevertheless. They were very moreish too. The only thing I changed was to use 1/2 chocolate and 1/2 peanut butter flavoured morsels.... — -Sylvie- Jun 7, 2007

Pasta With Roast Vegetable Sauce

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Wendys Kitchen  

This deserves every single of those five stars. It takes a little time to make, but it's not much effort really once you have chopped the veg and well worth every minute. My meat loving BF said that surely vegetables couldn't taste this good and... — -Sylvie- Apr 8, 2007

Guasacaca (Wah-Sah-Kaka) Salsa De Venezuela

This is a really nice fresh tasting salsa. It's simple to make and looks great, too. I wasn't sure what you meant by minced bell peppers so I just added 1/4 cup of very finely chopped red bell pepper. I used it the salsa and some grilled chicken... — -Sylvie- Apr 5, 2007

Homemade Oven Chips

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Lene  

I liked these, parboiling them in stock gave them a nice subtle flavour. Mine took quite a bit longer to start going golden though, I think it was about 20 or even 25 minutes. I served them just sprinkled with some salt. As Bergy said they'd make... — -Sylvie- Mar 27, 2007
