$500 Margarita Bread

Posted by San Marcos Sunshine  

The bread is flavorful, but quite dry. Probably because it only contains 2 tablespoons of shortening. It was better the second day after baking, but not something I would like to try again. With the cream cheese spread, I would say 4 stars,... — mianbao Oct 20, 2009

Cranberry Blueberry Bread for the Bread Machine

Posted by D's Darling  

This came out very nice. I did add 4 tablespoons dry milk powder for a softer, finer textured loaf, and decreased the salt to 1 teaspoon (just personal preference.) I used 2/3 cup dried cranberries, and will probably increase the amount to 1 cup... — mianbao Oct 18, 2009

Bo's Bug Sandwiches

Posted by Cookgirl  

What a surprise to find this recipe here! We have been eating these (but called olive sandwiches - boring, I know), for at least 50 years. Have never bothered with black pepper or draining the olives. But just delicious - if you like olives. — mianbao Sep 15, 2009

Insomniac

Posted by buttercup0009  

These came out beautiful - fluffy, and not huge. I got 18 buns, made in two 9-inch square pans. Was a little surprised to see that cinnamon was not mentioned in the ingredients, although it is in the directions. I just added what I thought tasted... — mianbao Apr 12, 2009

Southern Sweet Potato Pound Cake

Posted by alijen  

This cake turned out very well for me, lightly spiced and fairly dense. I processed cold cooked sweet potato which I pushed down in the measuring cup, so I may have used a bit more than if I had mashed the sweet potatoes hot. There was a hint of... — mianbao Oct 17, 2008

ABM Dinner Rolls

Posted by Loves2Teach  

Thank you for the very nice recipe for light, rich rolls. I followed it strictly up until the glaze, which I left off. They are still a lovely golden color, and taste delicious. — mianbao Aug 25, 2008

Baked Italian Oysters

Posted by Luby Luby Luby  

I'm trying to decide whether to call this 3 or 4 stars, but think I'll go with 3. I halved the recipe, but did not change any ingredients or proportions. I quite liked it. However I have liked every oyster dish I have ever eaten, and I do not... — mianbao Jun 10, 2008

Tropical Medley

Posted by Karen From Colorado  

I tried this out yesterday on my new abm, using dried apricot, pineapple, apple and coconut. It's a nice change from raisin bread. Am looking forward to trying it with other fruit combinations. Oh, I baked it on 'normal crust', but think 'light... — mianbao Feb 10, 2008

Green Beans and Ground Pork (Spicy)

Posted by nyob zoo  

This was really good, but I had a couple of problems with it. One was that it came out very salty using the amount of fish sauce in the recipe (I had Oyster Brand Nuoc Mam - it may be particularly salty, I don't know.) The other thing was that... — mianbao Jan 30, 2008

buttermilk rye bread

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by chia  

This bread is delicious. I made it twice in two days and am posting a new review. On both days I used plain yogurt in place of the buttermilk. The first day I added a tablespoon of vital wheat gluten because I wanted to see what would happen. The... — mianbao Jan 27, 2008

Irish Cream Chocolate Mousse Pie

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chef PotPie  

Made this for a work Christmas party and everyone loved it. I served it frozen, topped, not with whipped cream, but with caramel sauce. I used sweetened whipped cream rather than whipped topping, because it's easier for me to find here. Thank you... — mianbao Dec 16, 2007

Cheesy Bean Dip

This turned out wonderful at my work Christmas party. It made a lot of away from both North and South American co-workers very very happy. I used homemade salsa and adjusted the amount to taste. Also used shredded cheddar, as Velveeta is not... — mianbao Dec 16, 2007

Red Curry Paste

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by tigerduck  

This is very good. I did use the coriander roots, and it turned out bright red. Had everything else except the kaffir lime rind. I added some kaffir lime leaves to the curry instead. Thank you very much. — mianbao Apr 22, 2007

Nearly Zen

Posted by VNess  

This was much too mild (used much more curry paste) and liquid for me - ended up fishing out the veggies and cooking it down - at first. It did end up as a very nice curry. I added some fish sauce to the leftovers the next day, which I will do... — mianbao Apr 22, 2007

Nut Kolacky

Posted by Meghann  

This makes very light, rich pastries. I rolled the dough out on a powdered sugar-dusted surface, so they were fairly sweet. Getting the corners to stay together while baking proved to be something of a problem. I would definitely advise keeping... — mianbao Mar 12, 2007

Sans Rival

I tried this recipe, scaled to a more convenient size, with just one difference, and it made a beautiful dessert. I don't feel that I can give stars, as I used granulated sugar instead of confectioners' sugar in the frosting. I had seen recipes... — mianbao Mar 11, 2007

Florida Crab Cakes With Avocado Butter

Posted by Expat in Holland  

Very good! There is a discrepancy between the amounts of lime juice for the crab cakes in the ingredient list, and the directions. I decided I'd rather use 2 teaspoons than 2 tablespoons. I was also out of Dijon mustard, which, as I remember, is... — mianbao Mar 10, 2007

Greek Bread

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mille® ™  

Very good. I did increase the walnuts and raisins a bit. The bread itself is hard to describe. I want to say "light", but not light in the way that white bread is light. Anyway, not heavy, very nicely textured. This is definitely not sweet. Best... — mianbao Feb 25, 2007

6 step Chicken Tikka

This made nice fried chicken. I omitted the food coloring, and doubled the amount of green chilies. I followed the recipe for the cumin, garlic and ginger, but wasn't sure what to do with the lime. I added some lime juice to the marinade. About... — mianbao Feb 12, 2007
