Mini Cheesecakes III
Lovely! Mine cracked a little on top while cooking, but this only affected how pretty they looked. I also found them a bit hard to turn out - next time I might make them in little ramekin cups rather than a muffin tin. I might also make a tad more crust than recommended - I found I didn't quite have enough. Easy to remedy, though! The flavour was great, though - quite lemony, which surprised me (but it was a pleasant surprise). Tasted almost like a delicious lemon tart, very nice. Excellent serving size for one, also. Very pleased, and will definitely make again!

Blue Cheese Crusted Filet Mignon with Port Wine Sauce
Delicious! And surprisingly easy to prepare. I loved this recipe and while it's a tad expensive (good steak is, after all) it really impressed my husband for V day. Partnered beautifully with some creamy mashed potatoes and lightly steamed asparagus. Wonderful - which surprised me because I usually am not a fan of blue cheese... found it delicious in this! We both loved it and felt very extravagant. I will definitely make this again for special occasions. :D

Classic Gingerbread Cutouts
Loved this recipe. Easy and quick to make, and very quick to bake - and it made TONS of cookies. The only problem I had was at the point at which I added the eggs and molasses to the creamed sugar/butter - it caused the butter/sugar mixture to separate horribly, which wasn't ideal. However, as soon as the flour went in it wasn't a problem any longer. The dough was wonderful to work with. I can only imagine those who say it was too dry or too sticky have never made dough before - adding the flour is an art, not an exact science! ;) You have to stop adding flour when you get the right texture! (Doesn't every cook know this?) I also doubled the amount of spice, and I'm glad I did. The gingerbread is tasty without being overbearing - I can't imagine how bland they might have been with half as much spice. Will definitely be using this recipe again. Thanks to the author - love it!
