Banana Crunch Muffins : page 212
This is a very good muffin. I gave it a 4 because I felt the need to tweak the ingredients. I felt that 2 cups of sugar was too much for a muffin(these are not cupcakes after all) especially with sweetened coconut and granola that has sugar in it. I had Sucanat on hand and only 3/4 c so that is what I used. To me and my husband ,it was sweet enough for a muffin. This was a great combination of ingredients that made a very tasty muffin. I used black walnuts and I put dry oatmeal on the tops before baking for a little added goodness! I wasn't sure what she meant by "large muffin cups" so I used my jumbo ones. It made 14 using a 1/2 cup batter for each. I did bake them the full 30 minutes. YUM!

Parmesan Smashed Potatoes : page 158
These are not for the diet concious but very good. I did use yogurt for the sour cream and evaporated milk instead of half and half. These will be on my special occasion menu.

Turkey Meatloaf : page 138
Like everyone else-I agree that this is a HUGE recipe even when halved. The other reviewer had a good idea to make two loafs--I will add that to my notes. I liked the combination of ingredients as it made a "different" but good tasting meatloaf. My husband did go back for seconds day one and day two! It made good sandwiches too. I would like to try this with BBQ sauce.
