Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
Very Good 4.5/5

This is a tweaked recipe shared by a Spark friend. It is also my first Spark Recipe, so go easy on me. The nutritional info doesn't match exactly to what I have, but it's pretty close. These muffins are fantastic and I recommend you have plans to freeze or share them so you don't eat them all. Don't be afraid of the whole wheat flour. Due to the bananas these come out moist and delicious, not dry and compact.

This recipe makes about 24 mini muffins or 12 large ones. (It usually seems to make a little more, maybe 28 small ones or 13 large, etc.)

Southwestern Eggrolls: SparkRecipes Un-Chained Recipe Contest Winner
Very Good 4.4/5

I love Chili's Southwestern Eggrolls. They have so much tasty stuff in them, but I hate the fact they are deep fried. I added more beans and corn and then put them in the broiler for crunch.
These are great made ahead of time and *frozen for a quick meal or a fun snack for the big game. I make a double batch so I can freeze some for later.

Flounder Filet Stuffed with Spinach and Feta
Incredible! 5.0/5

This came from RecipeZaar; the only change I made was in using fresh spinach instead of frozen and I used tomato and basil feta instead of plain. It made it sooooo tasty! Next I'm going to try this stuffing in chicken cutlets. Great served with Lemon Garlic Spinach and a brown rice pilaf with raisins.

Crab Cake Burgers
Very Good 4.9/5

These burgers have a true crab flavor that isn't masked by fillers or strong seasoning. Serve on a bun with tartar sauce or with a lemon-juice-dressed salad of greens, sprouts and sliced peaches. This recipe works best with convenient pasteurized crabmeat, usually found in the refrigerated case near the fish counter. If you prefer lump crabmeat, cut it into small, uniform pieces.

From the Hungry Girl 200 under 200 cookbook
There are some slight tweaks- I don't add the Splenda (1 packet if you want to) or salt (dash) and I use vanilla almond milk instead of light vanilla soy as recommended in the original recipe- but that's a personal product preference. Also, I don't get 5 pancakes, I make 4- but that's just because of the size I make.
