Mrs. Sigg's Snickerdoodles
My favorite cookie, hands down! I tend to adjust recipes to suit my own view of what something should taste like. The only change that I've made from time to time is to substitute 1/2 C brown sugar for some of the white to ensure that I get a deeper caramel sugar flavor and a slightly moister cookie. My co-workers are always begging me to bring more of these cookies. High praise, indeed.

Roasted Vegetables
This is one of the only recipes that I don't alter while making. It's time consuming to prep and bake all those veggies but it's totally worth it! The giant batch is a lot of food but it reheats well.

Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burgers
Based on the stellar reviews, I thought that this would be a winner with the minor adjustments of squeezing the extra liquid from the onion/pepper mix and adding bread crumbs. However, after taking the advice of one reviewer, I opted to leave the addition of the egg until the end so that I could taste the mixture- good thing I did! The addition of 1 tablespoon of both cumin and chili powder are too much for only 16 oz. of black beans- it was a bitter mixture! Good thing that I had more black beans on hand- I added another can to the mixture along with more bread crumbs and another egg. It was a much nicer blend- the bitterness from the huge amount of cumin was nicely reduced. I had no problems forming the patties on a cookie sheet and baking for about 25 minutes total (one side I baked for 15 minutes). I will try this again- but I'm definitely reducing the cumin and chili powder and I will do them on the grill or stove top for sure- baking was somewhat unspectacular for texture, although a certainly healthier choice.
