About me: I live in Colorado and cook for my family; my husband, my 20-year-old daughter (who is in college), and my 18-year-old son (a VERY picky eater). I love cookbooks and have quite a collection but am always looking to add more. I have been known to take a cookbook to bed and read it before falling asleep. Lately, I have found myself getting a lot of recipes off the internet and not using my cookbooks much. I would like to change this. I am anxious for this site to take off (and it will) and for the volume of recipe reviews to grow. It is such a great idea!

Skillet Blueberry Cobbler from Weber's Real Grilling

Excellent. We did overcook it slightly on the grill but we just need to get better at grill baking! Served it to a group of 5 and everyone loved it. read more >

I made basically to recipe and used dried Cremini and Portabella's. It was good but not overly flavorful. My only substitution was half-and-half for heavy cream. I just couldn't add the heavy cream. I'm sure that this made a difference in flavor. I would make this again.

Very good! I love the flavors. I didn't have Amchoor Powder or Garam Masala (but I'm getting both so I can try it again) and it was still seasoned well. I think anything with toasted cumin seeds is good!

It smelled delicious and tasted delicious but my loaf just didn't rise. I don't know if it was because it was very cold in CO when I made it and it just wasn't conducive to bread making in our house or what. It did rise about 50% (not 200% as it should have) for the first rest period. But after I rolled and cut the bread and had it in the loaf pan it did not rise after that. I had very thin 'cards'. I will definitely make it again though everyone loved it despite my baking issues - this is a great recipe and worth a second shot.

Tasted wonderful but looked bad. Chocolate got ugly overnight - I'm sure that was the cook and not the recipe but I'm not sure what to do to make sure that doesn't happen again.
