Chewiest Brownies
Delicious! This recipe produces brownies like you wouldn't believe. My friends have been constantly harping on me to make more each time they come over. If you're interested in making little brownies, like the two-bite ones that are incredibly addictive, mine turned out quite well when I baked the batter in small silicone muffin cups for 14 minutes @300F. Have fun with this... they are so good!

Chocolate Yule Log
Oh huzzah huzzah. I didn't use the cream recipes at all (maybe next time, and my brother isn't too fond of coffee), but the cake turned out beautifully! Instead of cream, I crushed up half a carton of strawberries and boiled them until they were bubbling hot, then spread them over the cake. When using a cloth to roll up the cake, MAKE SURE IT'S A LINEN CLOTH. Anything else will stick like mad, and cause a mess to boot (as I found out the hard way). Someone might try parchment paper as well to roll up the cake, that might work. Anyway, the strawberry filling oozed out of the cake and I let it sit in the fridge for a while. Took it out prior to taking it to the party and stuffed it with fresh strawberries by poking a chopstick through the whole thing. Be careful. Also cut off the ends of the roll to make it look a little nicer. Sprinkled on a bit of icing sugar and *voila!* there it was, a yummy cake for my brother. Yay and thank you (=

Filet Mignon with Rich Balsamic Glaze
Man, I have never cooked a steak before and this turned out great! Thanks to all the reviewers before me who lent their wise words to this recipe. Let the meat rest after marinating it in salt, pepper and a mixture of roasted garlic/red pepper. Also poured some balsamic vinegar over the meat (my cut was round of eye and sandwich steak) to loosen up the meat for a bit. WARNING: If you're marinating overnight, don't pour on the vinegar until several hours before cooking. Since I didn't have any dry red wine (hey, I'm kinda underage), I simply added some brown sugar to the balsamic vinegar when cooking. It turned out delicious! My brother and I served these to our parents (it was their anniversary dinner) with a side of garlic mashed potatoes, broccoli and bruschetta. Yum yum yum. Thank you for such an easy recipe!
