I thought these cookies were above average but not "absolutely the best". I don't think I like the flavor of the butter flavored shortening.

My three children are CRAZY about Mac and Cheese! My five year old helped me make it and she was so excited. She tasted it when it was done and said, "Mommy, it needs more flavor." I completely agree. The flavor of this dish is very mild. It's not bad in any way, just bland. I don't particularly like Mac and Cheese that tastes like biting into a spoon of pure cheese. This dish went in the opposite direction though. None of my kids ate an entire serving. I only used half of the butter/bread crumb mixture and it was still too much for our liking. Also, I agree that the recipe definitely needs milk. I thought I added quite a bit of milk but it was still on the dry side. I will be looking for a cheesier and moister mac and cheese recipe.

I made this cake yesterday. Four adults and one child ate the cake. The adults all agreed that it was one of the most mediocre cakes that we have ever tasted. Not sure how so many delicious ingredients combine to be so boring. Three of us didn't even finish our piece of cake. For some reason, none of the flavors in the cake are strong enough to be reallly delicious. We were all trying to analyze the problem. We all uniformly agreed that the chocolate cake didn't seem chocolaty enough. We agreed that the best part of the cake was the topping and that the cake was moist enough but not flavorful enough.
