This recipe was great. I did blend it, but I don't really see why you have to. I was a little hesitant about adding the hot sauce because I don't like my food to be even a little spicy, but I added it because my husband likes hot sauce. You couldn't really taste it, so I'm not sure whether it would be any different without it. I let the steaks marinade for about 24 hours and they were excellent. I'll definitely use this again. *Update* This is now the only marinade I will use for steak. Even my husband, who isn't big on using recipes, asks that I use this one specifically. :)

I made this for Thanksgiving this year. I doubled the recipe, and made 4 pies (I didn't use deep-dish shells). Two are currently in the freezer to save. The flavor of this was great. This may just be my pumpkin pie recipe from now on.

I have never had nor made any kind of molasses cookie, so I wasn't sure what to expect. My husband likes them. I'm evidently not a huge fan of molasses cookies, but I think they're pretty good. Next time I might use a tiny bit less molasses and add a bit more spice and see if I like them more. I didn't have shortening, so I just used butter (added a bit more than the recipe calls for). I added more cloves than the recipe calls for (on accident, they spilled!), and also used Black Strap Molasses. Overall, great recipe and I'll definitely be experimenting with it a few more times to see what level of spice I like best. :)

This was my first time making my own stuffing, so I was a little nervous...but it came out great! I have no complaints. However, my husband said it tasted a little salty, so I will probably omit adding salt next time.
