Pumpkin Bread IV
It was good. Not remarkable. Easy. Recipe makes a lot so I sliced it up and froze it in sandwich bags for the kids lunches. Included a tiny cup of cream cheese frosting to make it interesting at the lunch table. Tasty

Chantal's New York Cheesecake
Loved it. Made it a few days before i needed it for a birthday celebration and it was excellent. The hardest part was keeping my kids away from it while waiting for the party. I followed the directions to the T and the only problem I encountered was I had massive cracks in the top. I'm not sure why I got cracks but not to fear...I whipped up some heavy cream and voila...cracks covered with whipped cream. No one knew the better. Not a crumb left on the plate after that party.

World's Best Lasagna
Pretty good stuff! I usually make cheese only (meat free) lasagna but i thought I would give it a try for a friends birthday. It was wonderful. My oldest daughter is a purest and turned her nose up at it but everyone else went crazy for it. The combination of the sausage and the beef gave it such flavor. I did follow a few others suggestions. I soaked the noodles in hot water for about 10 minutes prior to assemby. It just soffened them enough to make them pliable. I usually don't soak my noodles at all but I did for this recipe and i really didn't notice a difference from just using dried. I doctored the sauce with herbs that my family loved- lots of basil, parsley and garlic and seasoned with S&P to taste. I didn't let it cook forever on the stove top because I don't think a sauce needs to. It cooks and melds in the oven. I made and assembled the dish the day before and put it in the fridge so when I got home from work I just threw it in the oven and I was ready with a antipasto and dessert. Another terrific meal I will keep in my recipe box.
