Basic Cornbread : page 103

This is okay, but defininitely on the bland side. I think it needs some spices or something added.

This recipe makes a great base for cornbread stuffing though! Make the day before so it's a little "stale" and it's perfect. =)

Five-Grain Medley : page 321

I keep a container of this mixed up and cook it in the steamer with vegetable broth instead of water to add more flavor. The mix of grains not only adds a lot of texture, but also a lot more flavor than just brown rice alone. I've also made a grain mix similar to this with other grains (or left out one or two) when I can't find all of these. Just about any whole grain will work. I often add a little wild rice if I can get it for a decent price.

Fruity Carrot-Bran Muffins : page 113

I left out the raisins and nuts since I don't like either in baked goods. I also subbed dried mango for the dried apricots called for since that's what I had on hand. These were really good and a healthy alternative to a lot of breakfast/snack choices! I'll definitely be making them again.

Seasoned Oven Fries : page 315

Couldn't be easier and yet, they're SO good! I cut up the potatoes and marinate them in a ziploc bag. I just flip the bag over a couple times while it's marinating to evenly coat all the potatoes - easier than trying to do it in a pan.

Whole-Wheat Banana Bread : page 105

Using all whole wheat flour made for a heavy loaf. I plan to try white whole wheat flour the next time to make it a bit lighter. The recipe calls for walnuts and raisins, neither of which I like in my bread so I subbed in chocolate chips - not the healthiest substitution but it is what it is. =) Next time I'll use fewer chocolate chips or leave them out entirely.
