Pecan Tassies
Many people commented on the "doughiness" of the pastry. I found it helpful (and quick) to use a small cookie/ice cream scoop to control the amount I placed in my mini muffin tin. Then I used a tart press to shape them. I didn't realize how much the filling rises out of the tart, so on the next batch I made, I didn't fill them quite as high. If you have a parchment or pastry bag, try putting the filling in there and then filling the tarts. This is also a time saver.

Cauliflower and Carrot Casserole
Fantastic! I took the suggestions in previous reviews and doubled the sauce. It was rich and creamy and really complimented our Christmas ham.
