One Bowl Brownies
For ease, this recipe was great. Unfortunately, I didn't have unsweetened chocolate and used semi-sweet along with the mix of brown and white sugars. The mix tasted pretty good, but once backed, they were too sweet. I would like to try again with the correct chocolate or maybe the cocoa powder mixture.

Ranch Dressing II
We were making wings for Sunday Football and I realized I forgot the ranch dressing packet at the store. So, I pulled up this recipe online and was able to whip this up. I followed some other's suggestions and did 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 butter milk (which I had to create too b/c I didn't have that 1 cup milk, 1 tbsp lemon juice--let sit for 15 minutes at room temp and wah-la, buttermilk) and sub'd the chives for thyme b/c I didn't have those either. I was thoroughly impressed! Will be keeping this recipe for future times and will never buy another ranch packet again! Thanks so much!

Clark's Quiche
I followed this recipe pretty much to the letter and was a little frightened at the amount of stuff in my deep dish pie crusts, but it turned out beautifully! The only recommendation I have is to bake the quiches on the top rack of the oven and have the bottom rack layered with foil, just to catch ANY falling debris! LOL....It saves you from a messy oven. My husband brought the leftover quiche to work the next day and said that it practically got him a raise, it was so loved by his bosses! 5 STARS!!!
