I was looking for a strawberry chocolate pie, but couldn't find one, so I modified this recipe. After baking my crust, which was really a good crust, I sprinkled a thin layer of semi-sweet chocolate chips onto the hot crust. When they had melted, I spread the chocolate evenly on the crust bottom and walls. I then made the rest of the pie according to the recipe. Next time I will use more strawberries on the bottom, less cornstarch, as my gell mix was too thick, and a little red food color to disguise the cooked strawberry color. It really took away from the aesthetics of the pie. Over all, the pie tasted really good, and the chocolate added a nice twist.

I was looking for a cookie recipe that would be similar to a "hobnob". This recipe, while less crunchy, was great. I added a 1/2 teaspoon of salt, which I believe is very important to the sweetness of any cookie. I used splenda brown sugar, and only used 1/2 cup. I really like oats, and to be able to chew on them, so I used whole oats, but crushed them a bit with my hands before using them so I wouldn't so much like a barnyard animal while eating the cookie! After I incorporated all the ingredients, I made the dough into balls, then pushed them down with the bottom of a glass. I then sprinkled the dough with coarse sugar. After baking for the full 15 minutes, they turned out wonderful!

I had to modify this recipe because I was out of sour cream, so I substituted vanilla yogurt. While I was on a role, I played around a little more. I replaced the walnuts with roasted peanuts, relaced the sugar for splenda brown sugar, and added a 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. The bread was heavy and dense, but very tasty!
