Streusal Coffee Cake Muffin

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

Grade: C

Make Again: No

Recipe Source: Muffins Z to Z

This recipe is not as good as some of the other muffin recipes in this book. They take longer to make because of the strudel topping. Also, the taste was not too exciting, so they do not seem worth the effort.

Pork Egg Rolls (Baked)

This is a pretty good recipe, but I thought they were a little bit salty. I would probably like them even more if they were fried, but that is not something I like doing in my kitchen.

I use this recipe a lot to use up my overripe bananas. It is quicker than banana bread, and I don't need any special ingredients.

Tortilla Pie

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Grade: A

Recipe Source: Everyday Food (Dec 2006 )

This was very good and fairly easy to make. I think I liked it better than an earlier tortilla pie recipe from an early Everyday Foods. It makes and attractive meal, so might be good for entertaining.

Empanadas

I usually make a half recipe and try to get 5 or 6 empanadas instead of 4. It works pretty well. I always have extra filling leftover, which is very tasty on its own or in a tortilla. A shortcut is to use some of the petite diced onions with chiles, instead of chopping up jalapenos.

Thai-Style Curried Chicken Fried Rice

Prep Time: 18 minutes
Cook Time: 23 minutes

Grade: A-

Make Again: Yes

I like to make this whenever I have leftover rice. The only problem with the recipe is that it makes my house smell like curry for a few days, since I don't have good ventilation in my kitchen.
