Honey Crunch Pecan Pie

Posted by Jencathen  

This was a big hit with my supervisor for his birthday. You might want to cook for an extra five minutes, the filling was slightly looser than I had expected. I really like the little different flavor that the honey gave. Thanks for helping me... — tara portee Nov 15, 2009

Chicken Marbella - Silver Palate Cookbook

Posted by Scoutie  

I was intrigued by the variety of ingredients. However, I didn't fall in love with the flavors of the finished dish. I enjoyed it, just didn't love it. I had to pick the olives and prunes out for hubby. I personally think you could cut back on... — tara portee Nov 11, 2009

Herb-Roasted Pork Tenderloin

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

I enjoyed this. I used half a pork loin, rather than the tenderloin, so I had to cook it longer. I also marinated it for about 6 hours since it was larger. It was still cooked just about perfectly . I think using the tenderloin would have been... — tara portee Oct 18, 2009

The "only" BBQ Salmon

Posted by Bergy  

I didn't have my grill set up, so I modified this to prepare in the oven. I cooked it for 15 minutes at 300 degrees and after putting the second layer of marinade on I cooked for 10 minutes at 350. I enjoyed the tomato and garlic flavor with the... — tara portee Oct 11, 2009

Five Flavor Pound Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Sharlene~W  

This was popular at work when I brought it in for a birthday. I just loved the browned top that got nice little crunchy bits. All the flavors worked great together, you wouldn't think so, but they certainly do. I creamed the butter and sugar... — tara portee Sep 27, 2009

Traditional Bahraini Muhammar - Sweet Rice Dish

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Um Safia  

I cut the sugar in half because I was pretty sure that the 1/2 cup of sugar would have been too sweet for me. I didn't have any cardamom pods, so I used cardamom seeds that I crushed with a mortar and pestle. I took the advice of the poster and... — tara portee Sep 21, 2009

Spanish Chicken With Chorizo and Chickpeas

Posted by HollyGolightly  

Great flavors, good mix of ingredients, and generally healthy to boot. I sauted the onion along with the chorizo and garlic. I had to cook my chicken longer than the time called for, Probably because the breasts were quite thick, but that... — tara portee Sep 16, 2009

Thai Coconut Rice

Posted by Geema  

I enjoyed this very much. I usually don't like rice by itself as a side dish, but this was special. The dish has a warm, tiniest bit sweet, and tiniest bit spicy flavor to it. I was concerned about the calorie content so used lite coconut milk... — tara portee Sep 3, 2009

Frog Cupcakes

Posted by Tom&Candy  

Absolutely the cutest things. I made them for a co-worker's birthday and even the men in the office seemed to find them inviting! I used Darn Good Chocolate Cake ( Cake Mix Cake) for the cup cakes and Kittencal's Chocolate Buttercream Frosting/Icing for the icing. I ran out of green gum drops so I also used... — tara portee Aug 21, 2009

Kittencal's Jumbo Bakery Shop Blueberry Sour Cream Scones

These were awesome! I apologize to Kittencal for seriously deviating from her recipe, but due to dietary restrictions I used Splenda instead of sugar. I was so delighted that the recipe still worked. These are different than other ones I have... — tara portee Jul 26, 2009

Beer Bread

This was ridiculously easy! I was so glad to be able to make a homemade loaf of bread without out all the fuss and trouble. I used the 1/4 cup of butter. I had a little trouble getting it out of the pan and I guess I don't have a very good... — tara portee Jul 25, 2009

Fragrant Coconut Lime & Ginger Fish Bake

This was extremely good. I did find it necessary to reduce the cilantro to half of a bunch , I used only one chili pepper and only 1 tablespoon of graham masala. I am pretty sure I would have found the flavor a little over whelming otherwise.... — tara portee Jul 18, 2009

Sugar Free Protein Brownies
