  Morning glory muffins, freeze well and tasty. I use saigon cinnamon and ceylon.

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Multi-grain waffles

  • milgwimper on July 31, 2015

    This recipe makes good slightly sweet waffles or pancakes. You might want to reduce the sugar a bit. It is one of our go to recipes for pancakes and waffles.

  • dinnermints on July 17, 2016

    these were fine....next time I'd whisk egg whites separately. I've had better multigrain waffles, though; these weren't very crisp - a bit doughy.

• Green bean salad with corn, basil & black olives

  • dinnermints on July 15, 2016

    I usually make this salad at least once each summer - so fresh-tasting and flavorful. I added about 1/4 tsp of salt, and did larger servings (6 instead of 8) to make it a dinner salad. One night I added tuna, and another eggs and cotija cheese.

• Grilled vegetable salad with roasted garlic vinaigrette

  • Buttercups on June 01, 2026

    Made this in the oven 425 for 30 minutes. Maybe 20 minutes next time to keep some crispness on the peppers and onions. Vinaigrette drizzled on top was delicious and different. Will make again!

• Lemony lentil salad with feta

  • BookishMa on April 17, 2013

    Bright flavors, easy to make if you enjoy dicing ingredients (which I do). I might enhance leftovers with a bit of poached salmon and skip the pita. We will make this again.

• Cajun corn sauté

  • cjannace on August 11, 2015

    Didn't really taste the cajun seasoning when made as directed. Wasn't my favorite dish.

• Bitter lemon, honey & sweet simmered greens

  • BookishMa on December 25, 2011

    I used beet greens. Quite tasty--loved the zip added by the lemon juice. Might bump up the honey just a little next time.

• Asian turkey burgers

  • BookishMa on November 27, 2011

    We at one point were so completely taken with this recipe that we made it once a week. Our frequency rate went down because our former CSA meat share was turkey-free but the enthusiasm remains high. The water chestnuts add the perfect amount of crunch! Riot of flavor, excellent texture. This is a keeper!

  • MollyB on May 12, 2022

    By far the best turkey burger I've ever made. I've been making this recipe regularly for years, and it's so good I've never been tempted to alter the recipe. Definitely make the sesame mayonnaise that's a suggested accompaniment - it's perfect with the burgers. I agree with BookishMa that this recipe is a keeper!

  • Buttercups on March 21, 2026

    This is a flavorful turkey burger that does not disappoint! We loved the taste and texture packed in here. First time making and i spaced on the sesame mayonnaise but this is going on rotation and i’m looking forward to another level of flavor.

• Turkey-mushroom burgers

  • lmhester on August 16, 2019

    Cooked this for our family. My mom especially thought these were amazing -- she loves dill. I on the other hand thought it was a little heavy with dill.

• Tuna & bean salad in pita pockets

  • crandall57 on January 29, 2025

    This sandwich was delicious. I used cannellini beans (that I cooked from dried in the Instant pot) and more tuna than the recipe called for. We had a lot leftover. I didn't put the onion on. I made gluten free Pita's from "Baked to Perfection." This mixture was equally good on a salad of romaine, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, and some feta.

• Chicken tagine with pomegranates

  • MollyB on February 26, 2018

    I love this recipe and have made it over and over. It's easy, healthy, and tastes like it's way more work than it is. The pomegranate juice transforms into a wonderful savory sauce as the dish cooks. I just made it for a dinner party this weekend, and it was a big hit. It worked very well with couscous and the Celery salad with dates, almonds, and Parmigiano from the Six Seasons cookbook.

• Roast turkey with Madeira gravy

  • BookishMa on November 27, 2011

    Perfect! And I even followed the directions (mostly) for the gravy using the neck to flavor the saute; doubled the volume of liquid (used Trader Joe's turkey broth packets) and a little extra Madeira. Nearly wept with joy at my first ever truly memorable gravy! while the recipe called for no stuffing, I ignored that and made my Mom's traditional stale bread, onion, celery, sage, and tons of butter version. There was very little leftover.

• Easy salmon cakes

  • Purrceyz on December 06, 2011

    A recipe that is in regular rotation at our house. Yummy served with the Creamy Dill Sauce (on the same page).

  • milgwimper on July 02, 2014

    These are good and easy to make.

• Creamy dill sauce

  • Purrceyz on December 06, 2011

    A delicious plain yogurt/low fat mayo sauce that's excellent served with the Easy Salmon Cakes (on the same page). If you don't like dill or are allergic to it, you could substitute mint or Italian parsley. Do NOT substitute no fat mayo for the low fat mayonnaise.

• Banana-bran muffins

  • dinnermints on October 14, 2017

    Huh. These had 88 reviews with five stars on Eating Well's website, but I found them disappointing. Not very flavorful, and overall just boring. I omitted the chocolate chips and upped the walnuts, but if the batter were good enough, that shouldn't matter.

  • dinnermints on October 20, 2019

    Update from my 2017 note: guess the chocolate chips matter; this time I thought these muffins were delicious.

• Chocolate-graham muffins

  • dinnermints on June 26, 2017

    These are pretty darn good for a healthy chocolate muffin. I used around 7.5 full cracker sheets to get 1 cup of crumbs. I also added another tablespoon of oil as these muffins tend to be dry, but what would make it even better is a couple of tablespoons or so of prune puree (in addition to the extra oil). It's worth it to keep checking every minute after 15 minutes to see if they're done....I went straight from 15 to 17 minutes, and wished I'd caught them one minute sooner.

• Morning glory muffins

  • ccmcooks on March 16, 2014

    Used fresh pineapple instead of apple, currants instead of raisins, and 3 large eggs instead of 1 egg and 2 egg whites. Increased ingredients by 1/3 to make 24 muffins instead of 18. Moist, tasted pretty good, though maybe would like better with an additional spice besides cinnamon. Going to freeze some and see how they do. The nut/wheat germ topping didn't stick to tops well, a lot fell off, so next time mix it in the batter (and possibly increase amt of nuts a bit too) or omit. Also, try food processor to chop pineapple and shred carrots.

  • milgwimper on July 02, 2014

    Reduced the sugar, mixed the topping into the batter, and added an extra apple and did not peel. Cubed the apple. Used two types of cinnamon. These are great muffins, and they freeze well. I did follow the recipe as is the first time, and later made my own alterations.

• Wholesome cornbread

  • dinnermints on February 27, 2017

    This was great for its simplicity; easy to get in the oven. There are other cornbread recipes we prefer (Deborah Madison's skillet cornbread or Maria Speck's Greek style cornbread), but this one does the trick in a pinch.

• Pear-cranberry cobbler

  • BookishMa on December 10, 2011

    Index calls this Cranberry & Pear variation to the main recipe, Cranberry & Ruby Red Grapefruit Compote (not cobbler)
