Thank you for sharing this recipe... It's easy and turns out so delicious and moist. I just made it for the second time, and will be sending the two loaves to my boyfriend in Afghanistan. The first time that I made it for him, he ate almost a whole loaf, a chunk at a time, in one day! He told me that I could make it anytime. So, I figured what better time to make it for him... when he really needs something comforting,to make him feel closer to home. Your recipe will bring a man far from his family comfort, and warmth.

These cookies are delicious! I followed the recipe exactly, except that I used the other reviewers' advice and used a TBS of lemon juice, a TBS of lemon zest, and I also added about a 1/4 tsp of lemon extract. I put the dough in the fridge for about 20 hours. It made the dough very easy to roll into balls. I used a little over a tablespoon to form the balls. After rolling the dough in the confectioner's sugar, I baked them for 9 minutes. In my oven, 9 minutes was perfect, they were just browned on the edges and perfectly chewy inside. I will definitely make this again. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, however, I really enjoyed this sauce. It was a great spin off of traditional pesto. I love sun-dried tomatoes. Not only was this flavorful, but it's also rather low in calories/fat. I used red wine, not red wine vinegar, and I forgot to put in the balsamic vinegar, but it still turned out really good. I'm excited to try it with the balsamic vinegar next time, and maybe I will try it with red wine vinegar instead of actual red wine. This recipe is versatile, and could be good either way! I also didn't have a food processor, so I used a blender. It takes a bit of patience and time compared to a food processor. I had to stop and stir it now and then to make sure it all got blended/chopped, but my blender doesn't work well, and it was definitley worth the effort! I put this over farafalle and served it with fresh french bread and the Easy Garden Green beans recipe on this site. Like other reviews have said, this recipe makes a lot. There are only two of us in the house, and we are gladly freezing the rest of the sauce to use for quick pasta dinners in the future. Thank you for sharing this simple and yummy recipe!
