Peanut Brittle
I made this for my gifts for all my friends and family for Christmas. It was a huge HIT! I also used almonds and pecans. My tips: add a dash of cinnamon when you add the baking soda. STIR those nuts while they are comming up to temp. It will take about 15 minutes. Don't try to put the temp to high! Sugar will be everywhere! Spread FAST! The brittle is easier to eat thin! I made at least 10 batches. I burnt the first 3! Stir those nuts and use keep a constant eye on that temp. Remember 15-20 minutes of stirring!

Gingerbread Pancakes
These were pretty good! Definetly better than regular pancakes. Due to rolling with what I had on hand I subsituted allspice for cloves, finely grated bakers chocolate for coco powder and I used a bit of Frangelico for hazelnuts. Everyone enjoyed the flavor. I would make them again. I only gave them 4 stars cause I thought they were alot of work for what they were. But I also had to grate the chocolate and allspice.

Almond Wild Rice
Excellent (with substitutions) I don't like raisins so I used cranraisins. This really gave the rice a punch of flavor. I also spiced up my broth for the rice. The dish took longer than quoted due to the rice cooking times. Cook both rices to correct consistancy. My brown rice came out a bit mushy, but everyone LOVED the rice at my dinner party. It was great as a left over too. I even ate it cold on a spring mix salad. It was super!
