This was excellent. Even my kids ate all of it. I also marinated it in foil. I omitted the garlic salt and used real dark amber maple syrup. I served it with roasted cauliflower. My 2nd grade son actually asked for this the next day for his lunchbox!

These cookies are delicious!! The only change I made was adding pecans instead of walnuts. I'd also recommend chilling the rolled dough on the cookie sheets before putting them in the oven. I didn't do that and the butter in the dough got a little to soft, so the cookies spread a little more than I wanted them to. I made another batch and refrigerated the dough for about 20 minutes before baking, and the results were much better. I dusted them with confectioners sugar once cooled. They are (were) excellent cookies. Very rich. Next time I will use mini chocolate chips instead.

This salad was very refreshing. I made a few changes though. I increased the sugar from 2 tsp to 3 Tbs. because it was very sour. I also substituted 6 oz. plain yogurt for the mayo, and I used about 2 Tbs of dill from a tube made by Gourmet Gardens (it has a much fresher taste than dried dill, but not as strong, so more is needed). I sliced the cucumbers using the side of my cheese grater and quickly sliced the cucumbers and onion very thinly. I omitted the celery. I'd definitely make this again, especially for a summer bbq.
