I just got this last week, I loved all the pictures and the recipes sounded really good. Unfortunately I've been disappointed with what I've made so far. I threw out the black bean brownies they had a weird taste (maybe my bananas were Too ripe?) and I didn't like the single serve brownie either & I was really hoping to love it. The cornbread I didn't like by itself but was ok with blackeyed peas over it. I made the cinnamon banana toast crunch this morn & while it was good it was really sweet but I've been using sugarfree syrup lately so pure maple syrup was super sweet to me. The fettuccinni Alfredo was awesome after I adjusted the seasonings. I'm not ready to give up on this cookbook yet, I'm really wanting to make those cheese sauces and the burrito recipes. That pumpkin cheesecake looks awesome & the pumpkin bread too so maybe I'll try those next.
 
Much better luck with the loaded nachos & the nacho cheese sauce even tho it called for yellow miso & all I had was white, still turned out delish!
Just got thru making the apple crisp muffins - yum! It called for 1-1/2 c whole wheat pastry flour but I only had 1/2c left & had to use regular whole wheat flour for the rest but they still turned out great! Will definitely be making these again!
