Pineapple Bread Pudding
This bread pudding is delicious!! I used wheat bread, 12 slices to fill up the 9x13 glass dish I used. I did not toast the bread because I didn't have time. I took advice from some of the other reviews and decreased the butter (to 1/2 cup) and sugar (to 3/4 cup). It was the perfect sweetness, but I think I should have used at least 3/4 cup of butter and maybe 1 more egg. The wheat bread I used was bigger slices than traditional white bread. It was not as moist as I would have liked, but that was just because of my changes. I was worried about using wheat bread, but it was still awesome!! I will definitely make this again. Easy and delicious!!

Baklava
This is the first time I've made baklava. I was pretty intimidated because I've always thought it would be such a difficult thing to make. This recipe surprised me! Although working with the filo dough was a struggle, the rest was easy. I only used half the filo dough (8oz) that the recipe calls for. I used a mix of pecans and walnuts, which I chopped using a food processor. This made the mixture so easy to use when I was doing the layering. The 1 cup of butter was way too much, as I had about half of it left. Those were the only changes I made, and it was awesome!! I had baklava at a restaurant last week, and this was much better!

Key Lime Pie VII
This pie is delicious!! I have made this twice within the last couple of weeks for family and friends, and they loved it. Key lime pie is my favorite dessert, and I couldn't believe how easy it is to make. I made a few changes to make it lower fat. I used 1 can of regular sweetened condensed milk and 1 can of fat free. I used low fat sour cream and a low fat pre-made crust. I cheated and used pre-squeezed lime juice, and also left off the lime zest. I baked it for 12 minutes. It was perfect. This recipe is a keeper!
