ok, so I didn't BAKE my roast; I used my counter roaster instead (325 for 1 hr 15 min).. but I followed the directions otherwise. I think, had my meat thermometer not dumped on me mid-roast.. I would have gone 4-5 stars. today was my trial run on this recipe, but after I buy a new thermometer, I WILL be making it again on Christmas (for many more people). I will pull it at 125-130, since most of my people like it a little more done than I do.. I get the red center cut tho! he crust was really good - I only wish there had been more drippings. I guess you sacrifice the extra drippings for a SUPER juicy cut of prime rib due to the sealed crust.

I had really good results.. but only by using this recipe as a base idea. I didn't have the carrot cake mix I thought, so used a spice cake & used grated carrots in place of the zucchini. I also increased the applesauce by the amount of oil & omitted the oil completey. it ended up a little on the thick side, so I added about 1/4 cup water. I added cinnamon chips instead of raisins. I chose not to frost, altho if I did, I would use cream cheese frosting. instead I just sprinkled extra cinnamon chips & halloween candies on top of the muffins before baking, to make them seasonal. the muffins were a hit at the party!

I've made this several times - and love it every time. The roomie asks for it, and the boyfriend's gonna have it for dinner tonight for the first time. I fully expect to have even MORE requests after tonight! yummmmmmy!
