Foolproof Rib Roast
This was good and a very basic recipe for roast. I will try more herbs/spices next time. The method was a bit unorthodox because I just hate waiting that much for food.

Red Velvet Cake III
I made this for Thanksgiving dessert and everyone said the cakes was really moist. It wasn't too light but this wasn't the typical decadent red velvet cake but it's just as good. The only differences to my recipe was to use 2 oz of red food coloring, 4 TBLSP of cocoa powder, and I used a premade whipped cream cheese frosting. I was going to make a different frosting from this website but I needed to save time. Oh, and make sure to completely cool the cake for an hour before you put the frosting. Next time I will make frosting myself for much better results, if possible.

Homestyle Turkey, the Michigander Way
This was my first turkey ever and it was a hit with my family with no leftovers. I did add other herbs like oregano and basil to rub all over the turkey and under the skin for extra flavor, I did not use parsley. I did not use seasoning salt since I brined the turkey with "Out of this World Turkey Brine" from this website. I didn't want the turkey to turn out too salty. But I did use a full stick of butter and placed it under the skin everywhere. The turkey turned out moist and flavorful. Because of brine I think the cooking time was off. My 12.5 lb turkey was done in 2 hours. Make sure you use a thermometer to check the internal temperature so you don't get dry turkey breasts. And don't throw away the turkey "juice" that's on the bottom of the pan. Strain the juice and place in a saucepan. Add 1 cup milk, boil then add 1/4 cup of flour to thicken. It makes a great gravy. Will probably make again for X-mas!
