Wonderful comfort food. My only complaint would be that it was a little on the bland side. I added some thyme and sage to the broth, and it turned out just fantastic. Thanks for the recipe!

The taste was great, but they spread so much! Normally, I like a more dense cookie, but we improvised and used these to make the most amazing ice cream cookie sandwiches ever - YUM!!

Fruity Tuna Salad

I improvised a bit and threw in some dried cranberries and used just plain lowfat yogurt. The taste was fantastic - great alternative to regular tuna salad - thanks!

This was almost too easy to taste so good - amazing with cornbread fresh out of the oven. Great recipe - thanks!

WOW!! My husband, who hates cranberry sauce, found a million ways to use this after our Thanksgiving dinner. We've had it on top of baked chicken, in wraps with turkey, chopped apples and lettuce, on roast beef sandwiches, and in various other dishes. Fantastic recipe!

Applesauce Bread I

This was very good, but I made a few alterations. Like some others, I took the oil down to 1/4c (only made one loaf), and increased the applesauce by a tablespoon or two (used my homemade chunky applesauce instead of the kind from a jar). Instead of raisins and walnuts, I added dried cranberries and pecans. Wonderful taste and texture - thanks for the recipe!

Chicken Curry I

Being a huge fan of curry, and after the amazing smells wafting from the simmering sauce, I'd expected an incredibly flavorful dish, but I'm sorry to say that my husband and I were disappointed - the taste was a bit bland. Perhaps I'll add more curry next time, maybe some coconut milk as well.

Goodbye Motts! Wow, thank you so much for this recipe. I will never again buy applesauce in the jar. Not only is this far more flavorful, it's incredibly economical, too. I made one batch last weekend - half was eaten, and the other half was used to make Applesauce Bread (also found on this website), and am already about to make my second!

Chewy Crispy Coconut Cookies

I am a huge coconut fan, but my hubby loves chocolate. So I added 2/3c chocolate chips - they were a huge hit! I did, however, have to add 2T of water to moisten the batter a bit, though... probably because I live in a very dry climate. Thanks for the recipe - this one's a keeper!

Wonderful flavor and very tender! I added some fresh chopped parsley to the breadcrumb/parmesan mixture to give it some color. I made this a few weeks ago, and tonight my husband asked for it by name! This will definitely be a dinner staple in our household - thanks!

Kitchen Sink Cookies

These cookies were sinfully delicious! The only change I made was adding about 1/4c water to the batter b/c it was just way too dry (we live in a very dry climate, so I'm not surprised). I made these cookies as a welcome gift for my new neighbor and her two boys - I'm sure they'll love them!

Like another person suggested, I just used a bag of prepared cole slaw - this took the prep time down to less than five minutes, and it was delicious! Thanks so much for a very easy and tasty recipe - I'll make this one again and again.
