Pumpkin Waffles with Apple Cider Syrup
Yikes. I do not get what all the fuss is about. I followed the recipe exactly. It was not flavorful. I would say in fact that it was bland. The waffles were dense even though I definitely added the egg whites correctly-- I can only imagine what they would have been like otherwise! Also, there are so many dried spices added that the flavor is almost chalky. I need to stop writing this review before I change it to a 1. Thinking about the texture is really bothering me!

Creamy Pesto Shrimp
THIS IS NOT THAT GOOD. It is totally not worth how unhealthy it is. Yes, cream, butter, shrimp, pesto, pasta, and cheese are tasty. But this came out tasting like cream, butter, shrimp, pasta, and cheese with a hint of pesto. To me, a recipe that includes ingredients like that should add up to more than the sum of its parts, not add up to me being kind of grossed out with myself for eating it. Also, the consistency of the sauce was not good. I think part of the problem is that there is too much butter. I would guess (and won't find out since I won't make this again) that about half the butter would serve just fine if you have to try it.

Artichoke Spinach Dip
The missing ingredient: LEMON JUICE. I agree with another reviewer that when you have to change the recipe a whole lot, it's not a five star recipe. But with the changes I made, I would give this SIX stars! - I sauteed three garlic cloves and about two tablespoons of finely chopped onion with the butter - I used twice the artichokes and chopped them pretty small (like 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch pieces) - I used the full amount of cream cheese and sour cream-- half the amount looked disproportionate to all of those artichokes - I used kosher salt. mmm. - when I added the sour cream and cream cheese, I squeezed the juice of one small lemon into the mix. I figured the blandness indicated the need for a bright flavor. I really think that lemon juice was just the thing. Ours was tangy, creamy, and delicious.
