This stew was good and hearty. I followed the recipe except I added fresh mushrooms and frozen peas. I thought the stew was a little thin, so I thickened it up with a flour water mixture. My entire family enjoyed this meal. It wasn't anything extraordinary, but a good, family staple.

I followed this recipe as written, except using a mixture of almonds and walnuts since I did not have enough almonds, and leaving out the wheat germ as I did not have any in the house. The top of these bars were yummy, the base was fine, but my bars just wouldn't stay together. I even tried refrigerating them per another review to try to help with this problem, and about half of the bars simply split into two separate layers when I cut them. I was disappointed. Won't make again.

YUM! These were very easy to make and very delicious! I did make a few alterations to them: 1. Used margarine because I didn't have any light olive oil. 2. Added a tbsp of orange zest 3. Rolled cut edges in sugar before second baking. Wonderful flavor. Next time will add chopped dried apricots. I only got about 2 dozen cookies, not 3.
