I like a spicier gingerbread. I did use canola instead of the lard. They didn't stay too soft either. I might make again or look for something else.

These turned out very well. I cheated a little when I made mine. Trader Joes sells hard boiled eggs in their dairy section, so I used them instead of hard-boiling eggs myself. I was out of the hot pepper sauce, so I'll probably add some the next time to see the difference. Our guests ate these up very quickly and I'm told they were indeed delicious. Thanks Di.

I made these exactly as written with no substitutions. They were quite good, but just not quite what I was looking for (I like a slightly more cakey brownie). They were a little too overdone on the sides but fudgy more towards the center, eventhough I baked them for less than the recipe called for (30 minutes). Very intense chocolate flavor and very sweet.

Very nice and simple recipe. I made this recipe after losing a cranberry relish recipe that I found elsewhere (it contained golden raisins with the cranberries). I used 3/4 cup of sugar instead of the full cup and still tasted sweet enough. I'll still search for my original relish recipe, but will make this one until I find it!

I've now made this twice and both times I've received lots of compliments. I'll never buy another carton at the store, that's for sure. I did follow some other posters advice to cut back slightly on the mayo (by about a 1/4 cup) and that seemed to work well. The first time I made it with the onions and the second time without. I liked it both ways. This dip definitately tastes better if it's refridgerated for 8+ hours. Thanks for sharing this lovely dip recipe!

I have been making this recipe exactly as stated for several years now, for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is a family favorite. I really like the oatmeal in the topping. The best combination of apples for this pie (I think) is Courtlands with Golden Delicious. I will continue to make it. My family will be dissappointed if I don't!

I like this recipe. It's not as sweet as the typical brown sugar sweet potatoe recipes out there. I did end up using less ginger and cardamom, since I was serving the dish to some less adventerous eaters for Thanksgiving. I could not get this to camelize, but I did not use a cast iron skillet. I had them in a glass baking dish. I think 9 sweet potatoes would have been too many. I had very large sweet potatoes and 5 of those yielded 9 cups cut up, so I stuck to that quantity. I am going to try this again, but perhaps use a larger baking dish to see if I can get the carmelization to happen. I was very pleased with the flavors though. I would recommend this recipe.

Loved this recipe. This was the real winner this Thanksgiving. I doubled this recipe and it worked out well. I used fresh spinach and 2% evaporated milk. I also did not have the celery salt and used regular instead. My picky husband really enjoyed this the most. I will be serving this again.

It's a keeper.

Amazing. Used fresh peaches. The flavor was just wonderful. I can't wait to make this again when peaches are in season.

These are fabulous! My teenagers had half of them gone within an hour after coming out of the oven. I did make a few changes, to health it up a bit: added 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour and reduced the all-purpose to 1 cup. I used 4 large bananas instead of 3 and also used applesauce in place of the melted butter. Then I added 1 Tbsp. of Canola oil. My yield was a bit higher: 14. I used the Reynolds muffin tins. I will make these again and again. Very pleased I tried this recipe!

Great recipe. I used soy in place of the milk and thinned the batter slightly with 2 tablespoons of water. I also replaced 1 tablespoon of oil with applesauce. It turned out perfect. All the kids at our house gobbled these up!

I've made this recipe many times and our whole family enjoys it. Thanks for submitting Ruth!

I've been making this recipe for several years. It's so tasty and easy to prepare. I use slightly less broth (about 1 cup) and usually add extra garlic. I'll also use fresh broccoli instead of frozen -- this just increases the cook time slightly, but it's so worth it. We usually eat this over rice and not the pasta.

I love this recipe. I tried it with the walnuts and then with pecans instead. Both are wonderful. I rolled them in some special sparkly sugar after the powdered sugar and put them in little paper baking cups. They looked lovely this way. My best friend begged for this recipe.

Made this twice - once for Thanksgiving and again for Christmas. It disappears quickly! The first time I made it exact and the second time I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup but used Turbinado sugar instead of white sugar. Delicious both ways. I plan to make this often and again for Thanksgiving next year. This one's a true keeper!

I used this recipe for Thanksgiving in 2006 and everyone loved it! I skipped the mushrooms because none of the kids like them. It was really nice not having to squeeze lots of side dishes into the oven all once for a change. I started this dish first before starting on the turkey and other side dishes. And it made the kitchen smell so wonderful! I've shared this recipe with friends and will make it every year.
