"Aloha - these were quite tasty -- did read the reviews first, mixed the coconut into the dry flour mixture before adding the liquid ingredients, and just because it's a habit for me to add 1 teaspoon of vanilla to just about anything that is baked and doesn't include this ingredient, it when in too. The lime juice was some that had a gr..."

"Great basic recipe -- using what I had on hand, some changes were made: used 2% milk with vinegar as a replacement for buttermilk, vegetable oil for butter, added a little pumpkin pie spice for extra flavor. My raisins had gotten dried out, so substituted craisins and chopped dried apricots. Even with these changes, the flavor was super. Next t..."

"This has been in the recipe box for awhile, wish it had been tried earlier -- recipe is very good, thought it might have too much baking powder, however, it made up perfectly without that aftertaste which is an indiator of this,and rose well. Decided to replace the raisins & walnuts with chocolate covered rasisins, which I did add to the batter a..."

"If you try this once, you will see why everyone likes it so well -- it's so adaptable! After reading the reviews, I opted for 1 galric clove of medium size, and used a garlic press, from this was plenty -- allowing the herbs to not be overwhelmed. As suggested by another reviewer, replaced the mayo with sour cream, and used whilpped cream cheese..."

"Know this doesn't really need another "I Loved It" comment -- am forced to give my honest opinion -- TEN STARS. This has been in my cookbook for awhile to try -- and wish I had sooner. EASY, FAST, can get the rest of the meal ready and have these perfect! Used olive oil and "no stick" foil, and adjsuted the amount of ranch for the amount of pot..."

"Many thanks for posting this -- it is now the only bathroom cleaner we need. Even my DH noticed how much better the shower was. So easy to use that we are no longer using the squeege after ever shower. After two uses, have made a number of copies to share with friends....hope that Food.com doesn't come after me for that!!!! Guilty!!! A 10-sta..."

"Made as written twice this month -- wonderful recipe. Turned the zip lock bag wrong side out to remove stuck on seasonings with a spatula to add to the veggies. Also, uncovered the baking dish about 20 minutes before it was done, making it more a baked dish than a steamed one. Took a little longer than stated to be done -- about a hour, most like..."

"Easily a 5-star meatloaf! Next time will try with your creamy potato salad as the side dish. Made one change (seems like everyone does! by using oatmeal in place of breadcrumbs. It was really time to update my very old recipe for meatloaf -- my cooking has changed over the years as different spices were added etc., but was still making the meatl..."

"Updating my 2009 review -- I've made this with about every leftover we've had -- meatballs, broken into pieces; chicken, pork, canned roast beef. It never fails to make a wonderful meal. Do add extra seasonings (cilantro, cumin, garlic powder. My big change -- they leak onto the cookie sheet, so now fold the corners up and over, and secure with..."

"Great, easy-to-customize recipe! Seems like everyone who makes this changes it to accomodate what they have on hand. Did use half whole wheat and half white flour; and sifted the dry ingredients to create a lighter muffin. Threw a few chocolate chips into the bit of batter to give that a try -- my DH likes those best, while I feel the chocolate ..."
