I followed the recipe almost exactly but roasted fresh peppers myself rather than using jarred. It was terrific as an appetizer before Christmas dinner. I spread some leftover homemade basil-walnut pesto on the baguette slices before topping with the bruschetta mixture. The combination of flavors was fabulous.

My dad requested biscotti, so I quickly chose this recipe and presented the cookies as a Christmas gift (after sampling several myself with hot coffee!). I substituted vanilla extract for the orange and used sliced almonds and semi-sweet chocolate chips rather than walnuts. Absolutely delicious; they came out perfectly. This will definitely become one of my regulars.
