    This was easy and tastes good. I used less butter and added a small amount of brown sugar for sweetening so my kids might eat it. - 3/6/11

    Tried this tonight but didn't have the onions or broth so I used apple juice and it came out good. My 8 month-old loved it too. - 10/25/10

    Very good! I couldn't decide between this recipe and one by Paula Deen, so I ended up with elements of both! Used apple cider instead of broth, and a touch of curry in addition to the cinnamon and other spices. - 9/26/09

    Very tasty. Fed it to my 6 month old daughter as well - she loved it. - 11/7/07
