Peppermint Bark
Fantastic! I made this twice and it was a huge hit both times. I made a few changes: I replaced the canola oil with butter, and I doubled the amount of peppermint extract in the white chocolate (as someone else suggested). I used very high quality dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet, which my peppermint bark connoisseur friends said made it especially good. I also melted the white chocolate in the microwave, as sometimes white chocolate can be problematic on the stove top. I didn't have any problem at all with my layers separating, perhaps because I made sure to add the peppermint candy between them. I also think replacing the oil with butter might have helped. Thank you Andrea!

Homesteader Cornbread
This was fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly and beat the batter for 5 minutes as suggested. Really wonderful when topped with butter and honey!

Rosemary Pasta in Roasted Garlic Sauce
Definitely tasty and easy to make! I prepared as written with two additions: 1.)I added about 1.5 lbs chicken breast. I diced it and rubbed it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I added the chicken with the stock and rosemary. 2.) I added about a tablespoon of lemon juice as the sauce was reducing, which really rounded out the flavor! The dish was very rich and enjoyable, but I would agree that it doesn't translate well to leftovers, so make it when it can all be eaten in one sitting.
