Peach-Basil Sangria
I've made this several times and it's always a hit. When I can't find peach nectar, I substitute apricot necar and add a splash of peach tree schnapps. For a more intense basil flavor, I usually make my basil syrup several hours ahead of time and let it sit before straining out the basil. I serve over ice and garnish with a small sprig of fresh basil.

Brownie Caramel Cheesecake
This recipe did not turn out well for me. My main problem was the brownie layer. The finished product was just too gooey. I followed suggestions from others.... used a 10.5 oz brownie mix, cooked for 15 minutes and cooled slightly before adding the caramel layer and cream cheese layers. I cooked the cheesecake layer (in a water bath) for 45 mins and it turned out perfect but the brownie layer was a disaster. It was just too runny. I was embarassed to serve this to my guests. Will not make again.

Sausage Spinach Alfredo Lasagna
Loved the recipe... Really great flavor. I'm not sure if the amount of no boil lasagne was a typo.... I made a 9x13 pan consisting of 3 layers and only needed slightly less than an 8 oz package of pasta instead of 16 oz. I was afraid that the cheddar might come out too stringy so I used Monterey Jack instead. I cooked my sausage with some onions and crushed garlic. I doubled the Alfredo sauce and added artichoke hearts. Might add some sun dried tomatos next time. Will definately make again
