Mediterranean Puff Pastry Chicken
This dish was a hit! I had friends over for dinner and they loved it! I made this recipe with a few adjustments that were necessary simply due to time and what was available to me. I didn't marinate the chicken, so I minced some garlic and threw it in with the spinach. I used frozen spinach because I already had it. My small grocery store didn't have herbed feta, which worked out because it carried sun dried tomatoes in an herbed olive oil, so I went with that combination. I also used half a sheet of the puff pastry to make it go further, and beat out my chicken breasts in order to fold them over. I put egg wash on the rim of the pastry where the two sides would join and had no problems with leaking. Next time around I think I will throw the tomatoes in a food processor to get them a little smaller, or maybe even turn them into a paste.

Stuffed Acorn Squash
This recipe was absolutely delicious, and a wonderful way to do something different with squash! I gave it four stars instead of five because I do think the recipe needs a little altering. I followed a lot of the suggestions from the reviews. I prepared the stuffing ahead of time (used Stove Top's Savory Herbs mix) and also added about 2/3 of a tube of cooked and crumbled Jimmy Dean sausage to the stuffing. That was more than enough for two whole squashes. Next time I think I will melt down the butter and sugar ahead of time, too, and mix that with the stuffing. All the butter and sugar just spilled out of the squash and couldn't be enjoyed with the rest of the dish.

Key Lime Pie VII
Loved this recipe! This is the first Key Lime Pie recipe I have tried. I loved the consistancy and flavor. I left out the rind because I accidentally threw away my limes before getting the zest. Also, I didn't have a full 3/4 cup lime juice. Next time around I will be sure to add the zest and the full amount of lime juice to see if that will give it a little more bite than the one I just made. I loved how easy it was to make!
