Gourmet Mushroom Risotto
Wonderful. I can't imagine making risotto any OTHER way than the "slow painstaking way":) I use green onions instead of chives because I never have chives in the house and the green onions are beautiful in it as well. Also, half the amount of mushrooms works best for me. And lastly, since I don't make my own chicken stock, I just use the store-bought OXO type. Don't use Knorr! The OXO 25% less salt Chicken is the only way to go. The Knorr chicken bouillion powder is way too salty and overwhelming. This is my signature dish, so thanks for the help!

Grape and Avocado Salsa
Such an interesting, surprising recipe. So easy and quick to make; had it with organic, non-GM black corn tortilla chips. I think I would put a bit more onion in next time and maybe 1 1/2 avocado instead of just 1. I also think that 1 cup of grapes is enough. The sweetness of the grapes is very special, very unique. Thanks!

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople
Simple. I have never made a pie before and I used this recipe to make my first for Thanksgiving. I used half the amount of Granny Smith apples though! Maybe the apples I had were uncommonly huge. All the same. Really great recipe. Thanks!
