These were really yummy. I used a pastry blender to combine 3 tbsps of cold butter with the flour. Then I mixed in the cheese using my hands. The consistency was perfect! After tasting the dough, I added a little garlic and black pepper to give it a bit more flavour. I think I'll leave out the pepper next time and just double the paprika. (The black specks weren't very attractive.) It was easy to wrap the olives in the dough. I just grabbed a bit at a time and flattened it between my palms. I wrapped the dough around the olives and pinched off any extra, then rolled them in my hands to smooth out the shape. I used big fat meaty green olives from the deli and they were fantastic. Smaller cocktail olives would make cuter bite-sized treats for a party. I will definitely make these again!

I really enjoyed making and eating this soup. I didn't have any zuccini, but I had some celery that needed to be used up so I added it at the beginning with the onions and sweet potatoes. This was only change I made to the recipe. The soup was deliscious, attractive, filling and healthy. I'll definitely make it again. It was as spicy as I was expecting (based on the name), but that's probably because I used medium salsa. My boyfriend thought it was amazing and said it was the best soup he'd had in a long time, maybe even ever.

I intended to make this for St. Patrick's day, but my grocery store was out of brisket. I decided to try this same recipe with a chuck roast and it turned out unbelievably tender! A wonderful flavour and the meat was just falling apart. Served with Diane's Colcannon (from this site) and soda bread, it was a hearty and cozy meal. I'll definitely be making this again.

Soooooo gooooood! As a life-long lover of mashed potatoes, this recipe had me on cloud 9. I used red potatoes and kept the skin on. I used a coleslaw mix for ease, as a few others have suggested, and did enjoy the colour added by the carrots. I also included a little garlic in the sautee mix. I used more bacon than the recipe called for--bacon makes everything better!!! Me Irish ma would be proud :)

I've made these cookies 3 times now and they're always a hit. My brother drools at the mere mention of them. My boyfriend says they're even better than Pirate cookies. I wouldn't change a thing in this recipe! As other reviewers have suggested, a melon baller is a great tool for spooning out the right amount of dough. I was able to make 24 perfectly-sized cookies this way.
