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!

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!

This lasagna is yummmmmmie!! I made it last night and my guests raved about it. I made a few changes. Instead of the 1 and 1/2 lbs of beef, I used 1 lb beef and 1 lb italian sausage. I used 2 jars of 24 oz sausage flavored sphagetti sauce AND 1 8 oz can of tomato sauce. I think next time I will add a second 8 oz can of tomato sauce to make a bit saucier. The final change was that I used an 8 oz package of mixed shredded Italian cheeses because I could not find shredded provolone by itself. It turned out delicious!! Thank you for this fabulous recipe!
