bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Extra-Easy Pizza

"The time has returned for using good, old favorite, Bisquick! Makes the fastest pizza crust, top with anything you have hanging in the fridge, some grated cheese, and you have dinner, or evening snack for several people hanging around. I keep 2 boxes in the cabinet now."

bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Chocolate-Stuffed Pancakes

"I can't believe that the picture only has "1/2 teaspoon" of Nutella in there! I mean, if you are going to make a treat like this, a person would use more than that, wouldn't you guys agree? The title should read "Nutella-Stuffed Pancakes", so people will know what it really is. We had it for our son's 10th. birthday breakfast."

bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Stove-Top Lasagna

"I used ground turkey to cut the fat, reduced fat cheeses, real mushrooms and more of them, and real garlic. Ragu sauce. Breaking up the noodles helped to make it cook faster, but a quick meal, served to sudden guests!"

bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Raspberry Mousse Brownies

"Cut this into 9 squares, but no further, if you gotta have tiny pieces, don't even make this, no point. Have some broccoli and call it a treat..........."

bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Impossibly Easy Pumpkin-Pecan Pie

"I make this the healthier way, with Splenda, Smart Balance, egg subs., non fat canned milk, whole wheat pastry flour to add to the Bisquick. Only problem is, cutting EIGHT pieces, we usually cut a nine inch pie into 6 pieces, 8 pieces are too small, for something that people don't usually eat every day, and are happy to have an indulgence now and then."

bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Pumpkin Swirl Brownies

"I'm wondering as to the person who cuts out 16 of these in that 9 inch. square pan?? Come now, are you joking around or something?? Who eats a one inch by one inch brownie?? Maybe some of us should, but that really ain't gonna happen in the real world!! Wink Wink............"

bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Healthified Smothered Pork Chops

"I used beef broth instead of water, and a bit more than half a can, used fat free cream of mushroom soup, and always use fat free sour cream, great change of pace way to fix those thin pork chops that are economical from our local market. I use cooked red potatoes for the starch."

bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Zucchini Bars

"This is a great snack for when you get a call that some people are coming over, and you want something quick to bake and serve that is fresh. One point of contention, that it serves 24....realistically, those would be the tiniest little bars ever, I wouldn't and didn't cut them that small, would be laughed out of the house!!"

bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Chocolate Zucchini Snack Cake

"I cut this recipe out of the daily newspaper's weekly Food Section from back in 1989, the Sacramento Bee...........not a bad little cake, easy to fix, and no frosting to mess with so you can take it somewhere."

bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Tuna Florentine

"Good recipe for those times when you just want something quick!! I use 2 cans of tuna in any recipe for tuna cassarole though, and f/f milk, cut out extra fats when possible. Added more parmasan, but glad to use the spinach, would be good with broccoli or even asparagus if you had it. Easy thing to have that box of Tuna Helper in your cabinet and on hand!! Comfort food is right!!"

bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Impossibly Easy Zucchini Pie

"I added Morton's Hot Salt to the egg mixture, onion salt instead of regular salt. Chili's from a can would be good too. Also added more zucchini and a bit more reduced fat cheese. This recipe is great because you can change it around, and still get in your several servings of veggies, great for a Fall,Winter type meal. It was enough for the two of us to make just one pie, dh is diabetic, so he watches carefully how many carbs he eats, can't just gobble it up anymore."

bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Frosty Latte Dessert

"Lovely dessert! I've done it without the bottom crust too, if you are in a hurry. Perfect for guests coming, after dinner. I used instant coffee. Thanks!!!"

bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Strawberry-Frosted Banana Brownies

"I used reduced sugar brownie mix only because of diabetic concerns, wish Betty Crocker would make such products for us!! Added a whole mashed banana, and some peanut butter. Baked that, than added fat free Cool Whip and the strawberries mushed up with a fork, added some Splenda to that and put that on top of the brownies to reduce the sugars. It was great!! Thanks for the idea."

bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Impossibly Easy Chocolate-Coconut Pie

"After reading the reviews, I used only 1 cup fat free milk, switched sugar to Splenda, used light margarine and added 1/2 cup applesauce and some flaxmeal (1/4 cup) to it, and it baked up nicely. I think the 2 cups of milk is where there may be a flaw. I had some whole wheat pastry flour handy if the batter would have been too watery, to help thicken it up."

bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Spinach and Beef Enchiladas

"I doubled the spinach, used fat free sour cream, reduced fat Jack Cheese, whole wheat tortillas, and not the whole can of chilie's as dh has some problems with those. Was great tasting, guests finished it all off, not a leftover in sight."

bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Healthified Peanut Butter Cookies

"I used whole wheat pastry flour and Sugar Twin Brown Sugar that comes in a box. Turned out really good this way too. No one noticed anything either."

bunsofsteel rated and reviewed the recipe Impossibly Easy Chicken Pot Pie

"I used more than 1 cup of chicken, it ain't the 1950's anymore, so we need more protein. Good, easy recipe for family dinner, and reheats well also."
