Peach Cupcakes

Posted by swirlycinnacakes  

Mine didn't rise at all, the flat tops were pitted with bubbles, and they were dense and moist to the point of being ... rubbery. They were interesting, but not cupcake-like. — Fanged Menace Oct 31, 2009

Mango Tango Protein Shake -- Smoothie

Posted by NcMysteryShopper  

Nom! I used two scoops (one serving) of protein powder, ground flax seed instead of wheat germ as MA HIKER suggested, and mango nectar. Didn't need to add any extra liquid to make up for the flax seed. This was very tasty. I used room-temp fruit,... — Fanged Menace Aug 9, 2009

Healthy Zucchini Bread

Posted by CookingSandefer  

This bread has the spongy, chewy texture one often finds with baked goods that use apple sauce instead of butter or oil. I'd try using half oil and half apple sauce if I were going to make this again. — Fanged Menace Aug 5, 2009

Mean Chef's Raspberry Mazurkas

Posted by newspapergal  

I made a full recipe in a 10x15 cookie sheet, and that turned out to be a great dimension, yielding 35 2x2 bars and 5 1x2 end trimmings. I baked them 25 minutes. I followed suggestions to reduce the jam to 20 oz, and that is a mistake — it's... — Fanged Menace May 17, 2009

Fudge Brownies

Posted by Dancer^  

I love fudgy brownies, and these are most definitely cakey. I had them in the oven for only 40 minutes, and I had no trouble cutting them when hot — a sure sign of a non-fudgy brownie. I did turn on the fan (convection oven) in an effort to keep... — Fanged Menace Apr 22, 2009

Intensely Chocolate Cocoa Brownies

Posted by R Foodie  

I was totally unimpressed with these until I put them in the fridge overnight. At room temperature, they're mediocre. Chilled, they are dense and fabulous! — Fanged Menace Mar 23, 2009

Tiny Spinach Quiches

Posted by Sue L  

These are super-nomsome. Several will happily disappear into each person present in their vicinity. I took them to my weekly foodie potluck, and they were vacuumed up within minutes of my arrival. I used veggie bacon (Morningstar) because I'm too... — Fanged Menace Mar 8, 2009

Caribbean Yam (Sweet Potato) Bake

Posted by KelBel  

I halved the sugar, and it quite sufficiently sweet. I used bottled lemon and lime juice and accidentally flubbed the units, so I put in 3 tbsp of each — it was rather liquidy, but still tasty! I prefer the old standard of just sweet potatoes... — Fanged Menace Jul 14, 2008

Couscous and Cucumber Salad With Buttermilk- Dill Dressing

Posted by GaylaJ  

Pleasantly light and cool, but nothing to write home about. I agree with NovaM that it needs more salt and more something else. It's a bit bland as is, and I'm unlikely to make it again. — Fanged Menace Jun 15, 2008

Margarita Cake

Posted by Just Cher  

Very tasty! I'm a food snob, so I made a lemon cake from scratch instead of using a mix. I was looking for a recipe to use up a bottle of rum, so I used banana rum instead of the tequila and triple sec. I soaked cut strawberries in rum for... — Fanged Menace Jun 9, 2008

Tropical Mango Cookies

Posted by Kitty Kat Cook  

I made these with half the specified quantity of sugar, and they're sufficiently sweet for me. The ingredients sound interesting, but end result is a spongy cookie that is not particularly interesting. I won't make these again. — Fanged Menace May 1, 2008

cranberry wild rice

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by chia  

The slightly-shortened cooking time leaves the rice pleasantly crunchy — a nice touch! I didn't see any indication as to when to add the zest, so I put it in the with the onions after I'd had them cooking for a while. I used veggie broth to make... — Fanged Menace Mar 9, 2008

Gourmet Dog Biscuits

Posted by Twyla  

Even with extra flour, the dough is very sticky. I recommend putting vegetable oil or shortening on your hands before attempting to kneed the dough. I dove into my first batch with just flour, and I was immediately covered in gooey dough. After... — Fanged Menace Dec 20, 2007

Oatmeal Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Posted by bramble  

If you eat these with the mindset that they're health food, they're not inedible, but as general-purpose pancakes, they should be avoided. They don't have much taste (and I added cinnamon to the batter), and the texture is .. strange. I'm thinking... — Fanged Menace Nov 23, 2007

Basil Tomato Tart

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by bayousong  

I used a tablespoon of creamy garlic dip in lieu of the mayonnaise, and next time I'll omit it altogether. I also used a combination of shredded mexican blend and grated cheddar — any melting cheese will work in this recipe. It's quite yummy! — Fanged Menace Jul 30, 2007

Chocolate-Mint Pudding Cakes

Posted by MilanzMom  

Divine! I used a tablespoon of peppermint extract, and the cakes were pleasantly minty. The serving size is just right — larger cakes or the addition of the recommended ice cream would be too much. Very easy and very rewarding. — Fanged Menace Jul 22, 2007

Beet and Carrot Whole Wheat Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Olga Drozd  

This is great! I made a half batch in an 8x8 pan, and it only needed 45 minutes in the oven. I halved the sugar, and it was quite sufficiently sweet, and I used apple sauce instead of oil to reduce the fat. Oh, and I toasted the nuts (5 minutes at... — Fanged Menace Jun 24, 2007

Pignoli Amaretti (pine Nut Cookies)

Sticky doesn't begin to describe the dough. I tried chilling it, then I tried adding more powdered sugar, and nothing prevented the dough from adhering to my fingers like superglue. There was no rolling it, all I could do was drop it in the pine... — Fanged Menace Jun 2, 2007

Three Corn Casserole

Posted by buttercup0009  

I halved the butter and used Cindy's Kitchen lowfat roasted veggie ranch dip. Fearing it would be bland, I added a cup of zucchini and 1/2 cup sliced, toasted almonds, which made for a nice crunch, and doubled the pepper. It's good comfort food. I... — Fanged Menace May 26, 2007

Babootie

Yum! I came looking for a non-dessert banana recipe, and I found a novelty and a staple! I followed John Wenzelburger's suggestions for adding the fruit later, and I doubled the almonds because I like crunchy bits. The meat and sweet combination... — Fanged Menace Feb 11, 2007
