Battle in Seattle

"So far, so good! I have very picky two year old twins, who like banana bread, so I'm giving this a whirl to try to get some more whole grains in them. I kept to the recipe with the following modifications: 1/3 c. brown sugar 1/3 c. white sugar (I like the moistness, added 1 tsp. vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp. almond extract. And, I couldn't t..."

"I recently made a big batch of these for a Mexican themed dinner party we were throwing. Great success! I made a two-pound bag's worth of black beans. I soaked the beans for eight hours during the day, then, b/c I didn't know how long they'd take to cook, put them in the crock pot overnight, to ensure they'd be done the following afternoon. I ..."

"This is the second time I've made this pie, and I'm pretty thrilled with the results. I added just a bit of vanilla (1/2 tsp.? and a tiny squeeze of lemon juice as well. As far as taking more work, I don't really think it matters--it's only about another five minutes, and the results far outweigh that extra time. I would, note, though, that I'..."

"I haven't actually cut into it yet, but by all accounts, I do believe I'll LOVE this one! I'm making a fried chicken dinner tomorrow night for an elderly friend (by request, and thought this would be the perfect treat to end with, especially since peaches are in season. (I used my own pie crust recipe; I always have some on hand in the freezer...."

"I'm a believer! This is my first time trying oven baked--I never believed it could be as good as the labor intensive stovetop--I WAS WRONG! In fact, I'm not sure I'll ever go back to the stove, with this one in my arsenal. I chose this recipe as it was closest to the one I normally do stove-top; the only thing really missing was the mushrooms. ..."

"I've never made anything of Ina's that didn't turn our perfectly. In fact, she's the one Food Network chef I never have to second guess on the deliciousness factor.

The addition of yogurt (a lot of panna cotta's don't call for it makes it a bit tangier than normal. I'm not sure it'd be the best one to eat plain, but when you add the balsamic ..."

"I followed the recipe to a tee, except for cut the red pepper in half, based on other reviews, and used on of my own homemade pie crusts I keep on hand in the freezer. The amount of spice was perfect--I think I might have offended someone had I used the full amount.
It turned out perfectly, but did take about fifteen minutes longer to set/bake t ..."

"I didn't read through all 42 other reviews, but this is a keeper! My grandma actually taught this to me--it was my first real recipe, as a 4th grader I think. Anyway, I've never cooked the soup and cheese. And, I've actually found over the years that it's better to just thaw and drain the broccoli first--not to cook it either. It retains more ..."

"I needed to make a bunch of muffins, so I quadrupled the recipe. Turned out awesome. Following some other suggestions, I did adjust the temp. in the beginning, added a bit more baking powder, substituted butter instead of oil, and sprinkled the sugar crystals on top. This recipe will never leave me--I've been looking for a good cranberry orange..."

"We didn't have any ground pork; and I was just making this for my husband and I, so: I used 1 tsp. 5-spice powder, 1 1/2 tsp. oil, 2 TBS. chopped shallot, 1 small garlic clove, 1 1/2 TBS. soy, (I forgot the sugar, and 1 tsp. siracha. I pretty much followed the directions for the ground pork, but used 1/2 pork tenderloin sliced thin to saute ins..."
